closed for six months by reason of the
great slides at Gold Hill, which seemed
to threaten permanent destruction. The
sliding mass has, however, now been
cleared away; stable dition
reached by additional excavation, and
the commercial world realizes that the
canal is not only adequate for the larg-
est draft ships and always ready, but
that it is safe for the future, and that
ships can rely with confidence upon it.
During the war the shipping of the
world was needed for special uses,
and the business of the canal grew
but slowly. Now, however, the worlds
shipping is released TO trade; new lines
are being organized from Europe to
the Orient, and from America to the
east and west coasts OF both North
and South America, so that in 1919
the canal actually showed a profit of

The time 20 begin the poultry pro-
duction is now. Plan TO have the first
hatch coming off as soon as the cold
winter days are over. Chicks from the
early hatch will be the most economi-
cal birds on the farm through summer
and fall. Fewer of them Will die from
the late matches. and they will begin
laying eggs early next winter with a
marked tendency to continue the egg
production through the cold season.
There is a best time to hatch TO get
the profitable pullet. Severe hot
weather is hard on little chicks Every
experienced poultry man knows that
the danger point in the lives of chicks
is before they have reached six weeks
of age. DR.. NJ. w. Sanborn, poultry
husbandman, at the college of agricul-
ture, says that constant attention and
good care are necessary to bring them
through this period with the least
possible. losses. If the weather is hot
during this time, they do not do so
well and are much more liable to over
heating with consequent bowel trouble.
After they have passed this age there
is relatively little loss in the flock
and the great majority OF the chicks
can be counted on by the poultrymen
as his. 1t is extremely important, there
fore, that the Matching be begun and
be completed at such a time that the
chicks will have passed the danger
point before the hot weather catches
them.
The proper care and feeding of
baby chicks is especially important

Cultivate a pleasing personality, If

Miss De Wave 1. Payne. secretary Of the
Aetna Trust Company. Miss Payne
modestly disclsims any ability on her
part which gave her her position. al
though her rise in the two years she
has been connected with the Trust Com
pany has been remarkable.
Miss Payne came to the Aetna Trust
Company, after six years work In In
surance business, as supervisor OF the
safety deposit department.
II knew absolutely nothing about
banking" she said. laughing, mot to
imply that 1 know much now.
Il owe my advancement in a certain
sense to chance. The secretary was sick
and 1t happened that was the one who
seemed to know the next most about
his job"
In discussing her qualifications for her
'job" Miss Payne declared II person

Trust and Just sits In his little box he
will continue to sit there all his life.
You've got to poke around and learn
a little bit about everything If you ever

secretary is one Of coming n contact
with people and smoothing over rough
edges for them"
In discussing the success OF women In
any lire Miss Payne emphasized the
necessity of either having or cultivating
pleasing personality.
"You win hnd that py being pleasant
you can often smooth over some error
which otherwise might cost you not
only criticism but also your job" she
said
In Miss Payne's code OF success is an
other rule which she thinks should be
adhered to by every person who seeks
success; namely, never to think that you
have gone as far as you can.
There is always something ahead. and
you have never reached the peak OF your
achievements" she declared. "if you

the care of the sick and will prob
ably be started about the first week

A number of classes will be or

SAND At DEPTH INDICATES OIL,
Is BELIEF OF |LL|PAP OR|LLERS

George A Foster Of the lllipah
Basin Oil and Gas company made a
trip to the drill Yesterday afternoon
With several visitors and gave out
the report that the well is now
down 200 feet. with operations go
ing along smoothly Three shifts
will be put on next week. Mr.. Fos-
ter does not claim 10 be able 10 see
any deeper into the ground than the
ordinary man, but he is very opti-
mistic over the showing that is be-
ing made as the drill goes down.
The drill Is still in the strata of
sand and has held this sand for ~
feet with indications of oil. This is
the first slight jolt to the theory
that the natural basin had been at
one time drained by volcanic action
south of the antielines. The theory
was that while the surface shales
held the oil, the stratas of sand
would be found dry.
coilu at 81 utptU vi
little over 100 feet is good indi-
cation TO the experts that the drill
has been placed at the apex of tho
anticline and the indications of oil
in the sand strata at the highest
point would indicate that the vol
canic action II there was such had
not destroyed the oil basin.
Several eminent geologists have
failed to find the reported indica-
tions of volcanic action.
During the local oil excitement
much has been said of the report OF
l.. w. Trumbull. state geologist Of
Wyoming. who il is claimed, turn
ed down 1llipah as an oil prospect,
but few have a definite idea of just
what the report was. The following
is reported to be a true copy of the
statement of Mr.. Trumbull and ss
an oil man remarked to a represen-
tative of the News, THE man who
