Few American farmers confine them

zones of production, such as the cotton,
corn, wheat and beet sugar belts. There
aiso are fruit areas, dairy zones and
potato areas. But all Of q given COM

belt or zone, and the competitive activi-
ties Of these various sources Of o given

phases of the farm problem.
For example, peaches are grown in
Georgia, North and South Carolina,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Colorado and
California, and the total lack Of unity
and cooperation between these regional
growers has causedsrepeated oversupply
and undersupply, with resultant peaks
and low levels in prices and typical

LISTEN WORLD!

Be Yourself!

The old lies rise up and bring
them to judgment. Their happi-
ness is wrecked. They part. The
split was inevitable. But 1t
wouldn't have been inevitable IL
they had faced and discussed the
truth about themselves. If Agnes
had been honest about her hunger
for offices, and IL Fred had been
honest about his gypsy trails, they
might have arrived at working
compromise which would have
satisfied both their natures. But
instead they lied and cheated
themselves and each other.
There is a certain, peculiar
Truth for each one of us. That
Truth can't be diened. It Is built
into our characters as our bones
are guilt into our bodies. It il the
product OF our early training and
environment, our physical inheri'
tance, our glandular structure
ali that has gone to the making Of
our physical and mental life. For
d time that Truth may be evaded.
Under the excitement of love or
anger or curiosity We may under
take ventures which are alien to
our spirits. But sooner or later
we come back to our real selves.
And IL we have denied those real
selves, we must pay q heavy
penalty.
Face the Truth about yourself.
Study the terms and conditions
which govern your life. Before
YOU enter into any kind Of part
nership, state your terms. State
the peculiar needs Of YOUR MA.
TURE.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO STATE
THOSE NEEDS. YOU HAVE AS
MUCH RIGHT TO BE YOU AS
HE HAS A RIGHT TO BE HE.
If by stating your terms you
lose love, you'll lose 1t anyway.
For though you may remain dumb
concerning the Truth about your.
self, life will not remain dumb.
Sooner or later you'll have to BE
Yourself. You'n find 1t far better
to BE Yourself right from the.
start.

the way, don't forget that going
south, in New Zealand is some
thing far different from going
south in the United States. The
whole country is in the southern

means heading toward colder

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis E. Bisch-I

N0-Dy OAs AWNA1 &@s A&ADAeA
Famous AuthOrity on Health and
Psychology
YYoLUMEs have been written
upon personality and volumes
will continue to be written upon
this fascinating and exceedingly
helpful subject.
For everyone knows that per
sonality is worth even more than
knowledge.
It Is more valuable than wealth,
social position or power.
1t Is q greater asset than any
Of these possessions, because with
personality any or all Of them may
be most readily obtained.
No greater mistake can be made,
however. than to assume that we
are born with personality, and
therefore, If we are not lucky
enough to have inherited It, that
we must needs do without 1t all
our lives.
Personality is something We de-
yelop in ourselves, not something
that is handed down to, US.
Therefore. everybody can develop
personality If he wants to. An at
tractive. winning personality il In
herent in every man and woman.
Nevertheless this intangible thing
we call personality cannot Be ac-
quired merely through wishing for
it. You must work for it.
You must create certain habits
through your own efforts if you
would possess that kind of person
ality that in5 ariably wins.
First of alNyou m.st study your
self carefully, and without finch.
ing you must note whatever de-
ficiencies, handicaps and bad habits
may exist.
This viii not be- easy. If you
have q straight and fearless heart
to-heart talk with yourself you
will find that often you have
made excuses for yourself yfor
failure, for disloyalty, for In
efficiency or whatever your fault
may have been.
10 develop the right kind Of
personality, therefore, you must
4 be absolutely truthful. Otherwise,
it will betray itself in your char
aeter and undermine the building
OF personality.
Next, you must repair your
faults. You must change your
bad habits and overcome your
handicaps.
Then you should observe your
speech, your manners, your bear
ing, your clothes--in short, your
general address, for it is by
means of these that personality
reveals itself to others, and 1t is
by these that personality Is judged.
You must likewise watch your
constituencies, your pride, your
moods, your carelessness, your
reliability. your honesty, your
courage, your dependability and
score or more Of other traits the
possession Of which in plus or
minus way will determine so
largely the kind and degree Of
personality you may possess.
But It can be done!
You really owe it to yourself to
develop your inherent possibilities
for personality to the fullest ex-
tent. You owe 1t also to your
work. to your community, and to
those whom, you hold near and
dear.
Never be discouraged. Let moth.
ing dim your prospects or inter
fere with your job OF bettering
yourself
Just keep at It until you sue.
