How to Succeed

Making good in the pictures re-
quires in a girl many OF the same
characteristics that would make her
a successful private secretary" says
Anne Luther. There is nothing oc-
cult or mysterious about thst part of
1t.
Getting a tryout is chiefly a mat
ter OF persistence; landing part may
mean more persistence, some promise
Of talent, and possibly good looks.
But staying on the ladder end climb
ing ruhg by rung is a different mat
ter.
"What makes a good secretary?
I've never been one, but I've had sew
eral. First, would put loyalty; sec
only, initiative; third, a realization
Of the Importance of details; and
fourth, belief in the dignity and i'm
portance Of her job.
"There is nothing fancy about the
requirements, yot they are the very
things 7 would bank on in most any
girl that l was training to play in
pictures"

Oregon Banks
Show Big Gains

Total deposits in the banks of the
state Of Oregon on March 5, 1917,
were 2,201,549.49, or ali increase
Of $35, ,461 ,469.51 over the amount
shown in the report of March 7, 1916,
according to a statement issued by
s. G. Sargent, superintendent of
banks, at Salem. The time and saw
ings deposits during this period in
creased $6,S42, ,699.O6 and the postal
savings deposits s552,O46.44.
All banks and trust companies of
the state showed resources amount
ing to $2O3,32O,S26.5O, OF an in
crease of $3S,563,449.74 as compared
with year ago. This is the showing
for the 1T state and so national in
stitutions.
Since the call issued on November
II, 1916, total deposits of the state
have decreased $2,395,431.25. OF
this amount the Portland banks lost
$2,2S3.14342.
Contining his statement, Mr.. Sar-
gent says:
There has been a general ten
dency on the part Of all banks to in
crease their loans. Loans on March

Portland Stock Report, March 27.

Cattle-Yesterday's supply Of cat
tie was about 600 head. Only few
loads Of real fat cattle were included
The winter supply of prime light cat
tie seems to have been marketed and
buyers had to go after the medium
light stuff, which consequently
forced slightly higher prices for these
grades. There is a very slow call for
heavy cattle at the present time, al
though there are very few coming
to market. One load of prime heavy
steers brought 1896 yesterday. Sew
eral other loads of good light steers
brought $3.50 and 1856. The bals
ance of the beef steers sold mostly
from SO TO 1925. Feeding steers
sold well, demand being good. Prices
ranged from 1925 to 50. Best COWS
offered brought IS, with a top Of
$3.50. Very few good COWS are COM
ing and the cow market is strength
ening gradually Medium and ordi-
nary light COWS sold from 81 to
$7.35; common dairy feed stuff
ranged from S. to $3.50 No real
fat bulls were on the market, the best
not getting better than 1915 Thin
dairy breed bulls sold from S4.75
to Sc.
Hogs-The hog market vas rather
a slow affair, buyers and sellers hav-
ing wide divergent views. After trad
ing got under way prices ruled about
steady with last weeks close. One
load of prime light hogs brought
with the bulk of good hogs
bringing $14.S5. Pigs sold from
$12.75 to 1926. Demand was good.
Sheep-All sheep prices were ad-
vanced again yesterday. There was
a fair supply and demand was good.
One load Of prime wool lambs brought
$3.50 with a couple of loads of thin
shorn lambs at $10.35. No wethers
or ewes in trade. Prime wethers are
quoted from $11 SO to $12, with good
light ewes at $40 to $10.5G.

Oregon Potatoes
Rank Next to Lumber

Oregon's potato exports bring Il
the state yearly not less than 81,
100000, or an average of 50 fol
every man, woman and Child in the
commonwealth, according to data
compiled by Allan G. Hopkins of the
University of Oregon school of com.
merce for the United States depart.
ment Of agriculture. All but 13 Y
per cent Of the crop raised in the
state is exported.
Exports of the precious tuber, Mr.
Hopkins finds, stand second only to
those of lumber In 1915, as shown
by the report, 35,791 tons of pota-
toes or 2,3S6 carloads were shipped
out of the state.
Oregon's potato-growing area is
given at approximately $1,000 acres.
The average yield for the last ten
years has been 129 bushels, almost
four tons an acre. Through i'm
proved methods and the standardiza-
tion of varieties, this figure is in
creasing and last year stooo at $50
bushels. The yield varies, however,
from sc bushels in the dry area Of
Wasco county to 200 in the moist
Coos.
Sixty-five to 70 per cent of Ore
CONS potato crop is used in the seed
export trade. California is the great
field for Oregon potatoes, but Texas
and the whole southwest also de-
mands large quantities am the tuber
finds its way in large lots as far east
as Chicago. In January and Febru-
ary of this year potato shipments out
of the state have been especially
heavy, reaching 1000 cars in Janu-
ary and $50 in February.
Oregon's potato farming is done
on comparatively small tracts. The
largest individual grower in the state
is E. e. Morrison of Springfield, who
last year had 60 acres planted,
These small tracts contrast with the
areas of 1000 acres in one stretch in
California. Mr. Morrison friends ex-
perimenting with irrigation this year.
He believes he can overcome the Or
dinary perils of irrigation on potato
land and hopes to increase his yield
perhaps so per cent.
The maximum price to the farmer
during the ten-year period was $3.50
a hundred received during February,
the minimum rs cents and the aver
age has been approximately s1.9O.
The average cost of production is
estimated at not more than As cents
to 70 cents a hundred. Both the
heaviest acreage $1,000, and the
heaviest average yield, 1855 bushels,
were reached in 1912 The price that
year, however, was at the minimum.
The outlook for this industry in
Oregon is bright, in the opinion of
Mr., Hopkins. Big California buyers
are reported ready to take all the
good seed grown in the state. This,
with the demand continuing from
other states, will take care Of the
product of increased acreage next
year
Clackamas is the leading potato
county of the state. Marion stands
second, and others rank in the fol-
lowing order: Washington, Multno-
nah, Lane, Linn, Union, Coos, Yam
hill and Umatilla.
