Born in Waterbury, Conn, young Janet came to New York in 1917 and got a job as a stenographer with large manufactures, enrolled for evening courses at New York University and studied hard at night. The fact that all the other girls she came in contact with were having young eligibles didn't influence her one iota. She was serious. She was determined to get somewhere. And to this end she put forth all her efforts and all her thoughts.
 Her next job, which she held for two years, was assistant to the ad- yertising manager of a patent medi- cine concern. Here she got her first real break. The man she worked for was whiz at selling patent medi- cine through the printed word. His for the product at so much per ad, for which he received between $4O,- 900 and $50,000 per year. Gradually Janet took over the writing of some of the ads. and he very generously turned over to her part of his earnings. So that, all in all, she didn't fare so badly. She learned how to write well, and earned a good income besides.
 Then he took over formula for "Vitamon,"~ and with Janet kiIduf and two of their co-workers, they formed company and proceeded 10 manufacture and market this new product. And 1t went over with bang! Something new! Orders came pouring in, and within six months the sales were so tremendous that they were offered three million doliars in cash for their holdings. by one of the largest drug manufac- turers. But at the rate sales were sky-rocketing, they pooh-poohed a mere three million!
 This made the william very angry. down? Refuse me? I'll show you!' Whereupon his company began manufacturing another vitamon and offered 1t as a premium with the purchase of their other products. Needless to say, what the public could get for nothing, they stopped buying, and the sales of the original vitamon company hit the well- known slide.
 Within six months there just weren't any sales. And so passed away what started as a beautiful business.
 Just as the quartet were about to officially close their door, someone brought them, from out of the mo- where, formula TOT pyOrrnea. They thought they had something. Conferences started. and they knew they had something! More confer ences, and they were sure they had something. So they asked the safe company to bring back the office safe (for the formula) and they went to work on the product.
 As before, orders came pouring in, but not for long. After thirty days the druggists returned all they had purchased. 1t & ms that the "pyorrhea cure" ate away the cork go that within thirty days there was no cork left. And their customers brought back the corkless bottles as evidence.
 By this time the quartet were pretty much discouraged. With the result that they all threw up the sponge and set out to get jobs for themselves. The butcher and baker hadn't been paid during these thirty

OILING WORK
TO BE BEGUN
Engineer Here to Inspect
Plymouth Road; Accept
Hartford Work

Plans were laid Monday at the
meeting of the county commits
sioners to rebuild the Prosser-
Whitstran road in the west end of
the county. This work will be done
as part Of that districts farm-to-
market program and will start
early in June. A new grade and
surface will be put on some $751;
600 of the districts money being
allotted to that purpose.
r. w. Judd, an engineer in the
Yakima division of the state
highway department, and head of
the states oiling department, was
in Kennewick Monday inspecting
the Kennewick1 plymouth road and
making arrangements to start the
work. The legislature in its last
session appropriated S51, 000 to
maintain the highway during the
next two years. The road will be
oiled this year, it was announced.
This route is one of the oldest
in the state and will be used as a
detour while the North Bank road
is being built. This district has
been maintaining the 28-mile
stretch in recent years.
The state highway department
yesterday accepted the new work
of seven miles running west from

CLUB SPEAKER
Urges Members to Think
of National Problems;
Farm Man Here

w. ID. Buchanan, well known
poultry specialist from Washing
ton State College spoke before a
well attended meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce today. He
said that the financial depression
which this nation has just passed
thru was one of which the coun-
try could be heartily ashamed;
that it was unnecessary and due
to lack of use of the brains which
were given us. His theory was that
unemployment could be averted by
intelligent planning and that small
communities as well as the larg-
er centers could give every man
who wanted work an opportunity
for supporting himself during a
period in which work would 9TH
erwise be lacking. He asked the
club members to spend some time
in thinking upon such problems as
these in order to avert a repeti-
ton of such period as we have
just experienced.
Roy Grinnell, president of the
Yakima Valley Farm Bureau, was
also a guest of the club and spoke
briefly of his work in the upper
valley. He said he was convinced
that one solution of the major
problem facing that district was
the addition of a certain amount
of livestock on every valley farm.
Reporting for the road commit
tee, III. S. Hughes stated that a
joint meeting had been held with
the committee from the Pasco
Chamber of Commerce and that
work was being pushed as rapid
ly as possible.

Possibility of Kennewick becom-
ing the center Of a highly inn
proved and prosperous community
thru the extension and development
of the districts most unfailingly
profitable crop, was pointed out
to the members of the local Cham
Der of Commerce at the special
meeting last Friday night, in a
paper presented by NJ. N. MOul-
ton. The paper was read after a
discussion of the basic advantages
and shortcomings of the district,
and the plans and suggestions
made in the article were heartily
received by the Chamber. Com
mittees have been appointed to
start immediate work on the plan,
which is presented in the paper
which follows:
Mr.. President and Members OF
Kennewick Chamber of Com
merce.
Every man in this room would
rejoice to see a continuous cond1-
ton of prosperity existing in this
district. Because feel that way
about it have often asked myself
and tried to answer to myself these
two questions: How can we who
call the Kennewick District home
make it thing more worth while
and a place in which we shall be
most happy and proud to live? The
answer: BY making it physically
clean and beautiful, morally and
spiritually wholesome and upward
looking, intellectually awake and
progressive and financially and
economically sound. And how may
these results be attained? The an
swer: By concentrating thereon
the best thought and the most per-
sistent and aggressive effort OF
which our people are capable.
In this communication it will be
my constant purpose to direct your
thought toward the fourth desir-
ed end, namely the creation in this
district of a condition which will
be and remain financially and eco
npmically sound. The task we know
will not be easy, but is neverthe-
less possible of performance. This
we are assured-we cannot COM
mence in the future. We must deal
rather with the present and create
what we would possess out of the
raw material at hand.
We are exclusively a farming
community and as such we must,
whether we will or not, accept as
fundamental this truth, that un-
less the business of farming in
this district rests upon safe and
sound foundation there can be for
none of US such a thing as finan-
cial stability. In any search, there
