Finishers
BY JOHN BLAKE.

bx JOf1N hLAAE.
"HOw do you pick men for promo
= tion?" I heard an interviewer
demand Of big business executive
about whom he was gathering mate
rial for an article.
The executive paused briefly. From
the way he began on the subject, one
could see that he had given 1t care
ful consideration during the course Of
his life.
IF It's up to me-" he explained,
IT promote the men who finish things.
When assign q piece of work like
to feel that it will be completed. The
man who wraps 1t up, ties q string
around 1t and leaves it on my desk
is the man I think most highly Of.
In my years Of experience it's the best
way Of judging q man I have ever
found. Intentions have never meant
very much with me. General intelli-
gence Is a pleasant thing to encoun-
ter, but it has never helped me much
in selecting men for promotion.
II have always liked finishers. II
. man can complete one Job believe
he can be intrusted with another. OF
course, my executives have to have
originality and ingenuity. But have
never found any dearth of good ideas
to be carried out. What have been
scarce were men to carry them out.
When can find q chap to take an
order and carry it through to the end
with no further supervision on my
part ! hold on to him. The more
men have like that, the more effi-
cient know our organization Is"
The executives excellent criterion
is not restricted to the business world.
There is something about q finished
task that appeals to every one. The
very completeness is satisfying.
A job that is done clears the way
for new undertakings. And the man
who is responsible for the finished
task commands respect. You feel
you can rely on him. You feel like
intrusting him with another job.
That executive was q busy man.
He didn't have time to tell his sub
ordinates how to do their Jobs. He
had no time to suggest methods Of
completing the tasks he assigned. His
Job was to give orders. The more
efficiently they were carried out. the
more eficient the whole organization
became.
He knew how dificult or easy .
given assignment might be. But difi-
cult or eaSv he wanted IL done And
50 he set great store by the men
he called "finishers."
Aren't they the men you and I
would pick, If we were in his shoes?
Aren't they men We trust in life? .
Most Of us are busy. too. When
we assign q job to some one we want
it done without further consideration.

However did you find that out?" ne
asked. You see, Bob knew that Peter

Peter pretended not to have heard
that question. Have you a big family
this year?" he asked.
Just then they were joined by Mrs
Bob. "I should say We have" said she
"How many?" Peter asked.
Twenty" replied Mrs. Bob.
That made Peter prick up his ears
''My goodness" he exclaimed, that Is

"But not so sad as If you had had

"1 don't suppose We really do mis-

Worry" chuckled Bob White.
Worry. I wonder If you ever worried
in your life over anybody but your
self, Peter Rabbit"
Peter grinned. Nobody worries
about me. 50 why should worry
about others?" said he.
How about little Mrs. Peter? Are
you sure she doesn't ever worry about
you" asked Bob White.
Peter was forced to confess that
little Mrs. Peter probably did worry
about him sometimes. But I don't
worry about her." said he. you see,

Bob began to whistle, special call
known as the rallying call, and pres
entity young Bob Whites began to ap-
pear from all directions. They made
a pretty sight as they crowded around
their father and mother.
Peter shook his head. I'm glad,
said he, II don't have to look after

CASHEW NUT
(Anacardium occidentale)
ny LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

~ I'D you know the cashew nut
was known as freak? That
Is the truth. Yet we have
- passed by the many stores to
be found in the larger cities whose
white capped boys stand in front OF
the shops giving away hot salted
casnew nuts A few samples OF these
delicious nuts and the first thing we
know we are another customer, walt
ing for our turn in the crowded little
shop. OF its life story We cared little
or nothing.
The cashew Is a native Of America
that has just come into her own.
Some members of the family are
poisonous. In Cuba, there are many
beautiful cashew trees. They have
round tops and are low and spreading.
Children love to play house in them.
The dry weather does not seem to
trouble them and on q hot day they
are as cheerful looking as if they had
tust received a cooling shower, the
bright yellow-green leaves always
glossy.
Toward the end of the dry season
the tree is in bloom. The flowers are
borne in clusters and do not attract
much attention. Few develop seeds.
The fruits are set and when the rains
come the following Spring the fruit
begins to swell and in an unbelieyably
short time they are ripe.
One of the things that stood in the
way of the popularity of the cashew
with us has been sampling an unripe

Sleep.

THERE is a vast difference among
persons in respect to the amount
of sleep which they require. Undoubt-
edly these differences IN respect to
the popular eight hours, more or less,
are to some extent due to habits. It
Is possible to acquire . habit for six
hours, and get along as well a. on
o habit of eight hours.
There are other reasons for this
individual difference. Some persons
are so constituted that they tire easily.
Naturally they require more sleep.
Again persons who have little to do
have little need for sleep. This Is 20
because they are really not fully awake
as they 60 about their busy day Of
doing nothing.
There are few persons In every
thousand who really never actually 60
to sleep. Perplexing problems may
cause one to fret more than half the
night away in anticipation Of the
morrow. If you are one Of these you
may console yourself In the fact that
merely lying as still as possible ID
after all the essential virtue Of sleep.
