To Revive MesopotamIa,

When Alexander determined on
sending his feet up the Tigris he cut
the earthen dams thrown across the
river. He put the boats where he
wanted them for military purposes.
but he destroyed the productiveness Of
the land. and returned II to the des-
olation which has brooded there ever
since.
Now Sir William Willcocks. the
great English irrigation engineer, pro
poses to the Turkish government that
a portion of Mesopotamia be redeemed
from aridity to productiveness by re-
storing the ancient dams In the Tigris
This will put an end to navigation be
tween Basrakish and Bagdad. but the
water would suffice TO irrigate land
ON which s37.600.000 worth OF cotton
could be produced annually.

fication." declared the head OF one OF
the greatest corporations In Chicago.
Courteous treatment wins friends
and patrons In every line of trade. and
such customers become walking adver.
tisements of the store or institution
where that sort Of policy prevails. No
business can succeed unless II makes
friends of it's patrons. Friends make
business. and courtesy makes friends.
1T Is easy to be courteous to a
friend, but the courtesy that counts
for most II that which is accorded
strangers. Little acts that show con-
sideration for persons with whom one
Ia daily thrown In contact are most
important, because the one who makes
II a habit to be courteous at all times
In the most successful employe or en-
ployer, as the case may be. Perhaps
more discourtesy is shown In answer
ing telephone calls than In any other
way.
Courtesy should be practiced at
home. In the office. In the store-in
fact. It should be practiced all the
time. You cannot be really courteous
In one place and not In another. II Is
never considered servility to go out
OF your way to do favor for some
one else. Little acts Of kindness are
the ones that pay the biggest divi-
dends. They may not be In the shape
OF immediate cash. but they will come
IA lasting credit to you and your en-
ployer.
1T is Just as essential for an en-
ployer to be courteous to those who
work for him as II Is for his employees
to treat customers with considera-
ton. Courtesy on the part Of the
boss engenders loyalty among work
ers. and that qualification is absolutely
necessary to business success. Cour-
tesy La not so much what is said. but
how II Is said. A courteous person can
deny request In such a way as to
leave a better taste than some other
person who grants II.
Courtesy Is in reality an applica.
ton to every day life OF the golden
rule. and Lord Chestergeld gave an ex.
cellent example of II when he said.
Whatever pleases you most In others
will infallibly please others in YOU"
