Idahof Well, Sophie Boellert was and
did. That is to say, she found her
self a saleswoman in q Boise store
She set herself to work. and hard
work, with treless ambition to go on
and on" She took one course Of study
after another, for I'VE never hr,e
enough learning"
That she won the national prize In
corset selling not long ago is Just one
milestone on her way. She's buyer
and department manager In the Boise
Mode. That means that she has come
to know Intimately the buying public
Of Idaho. and the manufacturers of
America and the world al they afs
translated to the retail trade through
the clever, complicated, ever changing,
ever interesting New York market
Shes a director Of the store, which
means that she's managed to learn
how to work with other people day In
and day out to get her own way when
it's based on good hard knowledge
without Irritating the other person,
and to yield her opinion as gracefully
when other Judgment IL the better.
Her position means work with much
overtime, but Miss Boellert finds op-
portunity for outside interests. I've
always been Interested In helping girls
up In their work." she says. MY own
experience Is that the best founda-
tions for the average girl are laid in
smaller towns. People seem to have
more time. But in any place the study
Of human nature Is the most interest
ing one. This many-sidsd study is a
great help in any works One of the
most interesting studies today is sell
ing. We are all doing that. It has
many angles and the whole world
enters 1t at some angle"
Miss Boellert's own life seems to
bear out her statement about the wide
angle vision possible to the good sales
woman wherever she IL. The war
brought more than one honor to this
Idaho woman who had been 30 con-
scientiously preparing herself. And
when. just after the war, the National
Federation Of Business and Profession
al Women was started, the women of
Idaho chose Miss Bosllert to be their
representative In the national council.
Each year they have reelected her.
This year she has mothered two new
clubs into being, and has two more on

KEEPING THE KIDS ON THE
FARM e
BY LAURA MILLER

Out near Chickashaw, Okla. there's
little station-and by this time prob
ably a post ofice-called Lyle. Near
by are three Lyle children on the $50
acre farm who show no enthusiasm
for learning to become white-collared
sity folks, The story runs like this
There was a Tennessee farm boy who
did things "just like dad" and stayed
just az poor ~ dad was. There was
a girl, an orphan, who grew up being
waited on In her sisters home. Then
the girls father asked her to Join him
on Texas ranch. TT was 21 miles
from town." she laughs in retrospect" /"
and had to cook or starve, and keep
nice house or live in filth. By and
by the boy and girl became Mr.. and
Mrs. Bob Lyle. and tried farming on
big scale in Oklahoma.
But we liked to work our fool
selves to DEATH" recalls Bob. And,
mine months of the year was kept
busy feeding 20 farm hands and bal
ing the hay CROP" says his wife. land
when the bottom dropped out of the
hay market, and the war took all our
labor, we decided we'd let the hogs
do the haling and save me the cook
ing" -
At one time they made record
shipment of % cars, filed with $3.50
head of hogs. They brought $4,000
and the Lyles felt proud until they
happened ON a sale of pure bred hogs
where so head sold for more than
$4,000. Then and there the Lyles
discarded all faith in old-fashioned
methods. They substituted high-bred
pigs and treated them with the con-
sideration due to breeding. That
they're succeeding financially is evi-
denced by the fact that three sales
last year nettsd $4,000.
Mrs. Lyle is the business manager
of the firm, carrying all correspond
ence, keeping the books, working up
pedlsrees (Which for human folks had
always fascinated her). and doing
some clever advertising. At the fairs,
where Lyle pigs are carrying of prizes,
there's funny. booklet always TOR dis
tribution. 1t is called "Pig Tales"
and the long braids Of hair on four
girls spell out Leave it to Lyle" In
side are scraps Of Mr.. Lyle's humorous
philosophy turned into sales argu-
ments.
And the little Lyles7 Each one had
a pure bred pig sold him or her on
interest. At the end Of the year they
sold enough pork on the hoof to pay
off their notes and start them in q
husInoss that at tho end of five vQa ~
their mother estimates, should give
each the equivalent Of 5000 pigs
worth $75 each! rsr-Hr

Banker-Farmer Notes

Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, banks
and Chamber of Commerce at the be-
ginning of 1923 mapped out a visoe.
GUS program for the promotion Of
agriculture IN tho county. Through
out the year they assisted IN keeping
the farm organisations funetiooing
and distributed to them agricultural
bulletins and information Of interest
They held rural community meetings
and entertainments, exhibits Of farm
and home products. and advertised
home products. One specific result
was to induce q milk receiving station
to locate in the vicinity. and during
the first month $4,000 was paid the
farmers for their milk. This marked
the turning point IN the farmers
business.
California bankers created an emer.
gency fund of s1.00o,O0 at meeting
recently in San Francisco to combat
the foot-and-mouth disease which has
broken out In that State. The Federal
and State governments each pay one
half of the appraised value of the AMI
mails slaughtered, and the State gov
ernment was not prepared to mee'
this unexpected expense. The bank
ers agreed to supply the funds needed
as a loan to the State government.
The Vermont Bankers Association
offered $1,000 to winning club men,
bers in 1928. Part OF the funds wa
,sed for prizes for project leaders
out between FIVE and six hundred dol
,ars was awarded to outstanding boy
and girls winning In the variou
