PREP AREDNESS
I'm BUSINESS
BY r. S. HEIGHT,
~ ~ -
American Bankers Association.

American Bankers Association.
My observations for many years,
both as an employee and as an eXecu-
tive, have convinced me that the rea-
son some men and women go ahead
and others do not is that some keep
themselves constantly prepared to &C.
cept and fulfill larger duties and re-
sponsibilities as they offer, and some
do not.
Grant, as we must, that there is a
certain element of luck in the condi-
lions under which opportunity for
promotion comes to different men and
women, we nevertheless must also see
that it is each individuals own state
OF preparedness which determines his
ability to seize opportunity if and
when it comes, and having seized it,
to succeed in meeting the greater de-
mands which it inevitably places upon
him.
Real advancement never means 60
ing ahead to easier tasks, but always
to harder ones. Opportunity for adj
vancement is worthless unless in &C.
cepting it you are able to carry with
you the abilities and qualifications that
prepare you to meet the heavier exac-
tons that are an inherent part of OPP
portunity.
1t is far better to go into action in
the field of enlarged responsibility
prepared and qualified, rather than
that you and the institution you work
for shall be exposed to the hazard Of
your having to build up to new re-
sponsibilities after having assumed
them.
The new spirit of all business seeks
to prepare it's people in advance
through education for the higher
duties it holds in store for them.

HOW ARE YOUR Dogs?
ARE they HAPPY?

Prepared under the direction of the
Executive Committee, Public Health
League of Washington.
These hot summer days-are your
feet happy? Or do they ache and pain
and make life generally miserable for
you. If so, perhaps it is because you
haven't done right by them, states
the Public Health League.
Women insist upor encasing their
poor feet in tight shoes with high
heels and the result is corns, hammer
toes, bunions, ingrowing toe nails,
and fallen arches, causing aching
knees, hips, and back.
DR.. Sherman has recently given us
the following foot facts:
1-85 percent of men and women cal
led for war service had definite foot
troubles.
2-65 percent of school children have
foot troubles due to wrong shoes.
3-The barefoot races experience few
foot troubles.
Three absolute essentials for foot
health are-proper stockings-pro-
per shoes and cleanliness. Too long
or too wide shoes are as bad as too
short or too narrow one.
Exercise the toes and the ankles and
give the feet some sunshine. We can
not go barefoot much of the time, but
we can give our feet more considera-
tom Mature did not intend us to
have the atrophied, square, squeezed
together things we call toes. We have
almost lost the use of the individual
toe muscles-mass action is about all
we can accomplish now.
Sometimes, of course, pain in the
feet may be caused from some remote
infection, such as diseased teeth or
tonsils. A competent physician should
be consulted if pain persists. The
general use of commercial arch sup
ports is doing much harm. If the foot
needs a support for some corrective
purpose. it should be fitted to the in
dividual need.

OUR STATE LEADS WORLD
I'M APPLE PRODUCTION

About quarter of century ago
Washington began shipping apples to
the markets of the world. Today
Washington is the leading State in
the commercial production of apples
1t produces over one-fourth of the
commercial apple crop of the Unitea
States, with an annual production
value of from $50, 100000 to $40 900,
coo.
There must be a reason for this
remarkable development. especially
when it is recalled that the Washington
product had to be transported across
the continent to reach the large cen
tiers of population. In addition to ex-
ira cost of transportation there were
other extra costs involved in the de-
veIoprnent of new orchards and in
the production and handling charges
necessary in maintaining a quality Of
grade and pack that has become the
standard of the world.
The reason is found in the COM
bination of soil and climate that pro-
duces the highest quality of CONNER
cial fruit. The irrigated valleys of CEN
1ral and eastern Washington, girt
round with hills and mountains; vol
caric soil; abundance of water; warm
days and cool nights-all these things,
plus an unusually high type of fruit
farmer. have brought Washington
from last to first place in this indus
try in a quarter of century.
Washington's opportunities for the
expansion of this industry are almost
unlimited. There are thousands of
acres of fruit land yet to be developed
To- meet whatever needs may arise.
There are great areas within present
developed irrigation project that may
be planted to orchards by those who
desire to enter the industry. There are
thousands OF acres in future projects.
Washington is destined to hold first
place in this important industry, sim
ply because it possesses to an unusual
degree the factor necessary to highest
success in apple production.

IF roup appears in the poultry flock,
as it is apt to do at this season, treat
the fowls by applying twice daily an
antiseptic solution to the affected
parts, spraying the head or plunging
it into the solution. One part of by
drogen peroxide to 3 parts of water,
or drains of permanganate of potash
70 pint of water, can be used. When
the inflammation has progressed to
the eyes, one or two drops of 1870
solution of argyrol introduced be-
tween the eyelids is beneficial. The
sick birds should be removed from
the flock, and put in warm, dry,
and well-ventilated room.
