HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1931. PAGE THREE KILLING THE SNAKE A pamphlet issued by one of the big Insurance companies tells us how to act in emergencies: how to revive a drowning person; how to bandage a burn; what to do for snake bite. On this last subject there is an introductory sentence which is set in big type for emphasis. It reads: DON'T STOP TO KILL THE SNAKE. The idea contained in that crisp utterance has far-flung applications. Whether any specific deed should or should not be done depends not merely upon its character but equally upon the circumstances and the time. Years ago I Interviewed Dr. John R. Mott, a great leader, and I asked him his rules for selecting execu tives. "I watch a candidate for a long time before I decide," he answered. "I want to satisfy myself on two points: Does he do small things well? Does he do FIRST things FIRST?" As he spoke I remembered a well intentioned, hard working man who was under my observation at one time. He had a most amazing ca pacity for doing his work in the wrong order. He was to meet his boss one day at the Grand Central Station with tickets for Detroit. The boss arriv GAME Driving over Austerlitz mountain, one of the Taconlc range which sep arates New York from Massachu setts I flushed seven pheasants in as many miles. One gorgeous, long tailed cock pheasant rocketed out of the brush smack into my wind shield and fell to the road with a broken neck. He deserved a better fate. The breeding of pheasants is be ing encouraged by the states of the Northeast. Some state authorities supply pheasant eggs free to those who will hatch them under barn yard hens. New York is paying 4-H Club boys and girls $1 each for mature pheasants so hatched. They are liberated in the state forest preserve, to be shot by hunters in the proper season. In Virginia and some other parts of the South the native American partridge is sometimes called a pheasant. There is no native phea sant. These game birds are im ports from China and eastern Asia. They have been bred in Europe for sport for centuries. American hunt ers have pretty well cleaned out our native game birds, but it is expected the imported pheasant will increase and multiply under careful conservation, so that there will still be something for the next generation of sportsmen to shoot. BONUSES Bethlehem Steel Company, in re sponse to the protests of some stockholders who thought the men who run the business were getting too much money for their work, has increased salaries and reduced the percentage of bonuses paid to em ployees for Increased production. Perhaps the Bethlehem bonuses were too high; I cannot judge that. I am certain, however, that the greatest Incentive to good work which any employer can offer to his employees is to give them money rewards above their wages if they do more than the routine require ments of their jobs. Some day the whole wage system will be revised and every worker will be paid precisely In proportion German inventors have devised powered by an air propeller, a an passengers.

His ex cuse was that he was engaged on a plan which he thought might pos sibly double the business and he had become so engrossed in it that he had forgotten his watch. The plan might have been all right, though it turned out not to be, but in dealing with it at the wrong time he caused the boss to miss a train and lose an order. He was forever writing memor anda on matters outside his depart ment, while neglecting the routine duties for which he was paid. He was usually late to the office be cause he had gone out of his way to make a call which he believed might be of benefit to the company. All of his activities were inspired by a genuine desire to Increase the business and so raise his own earn ing power. But he was a nuisance, and was finally fired. The human race possesses all the information necessary for, the suc cessful conduct of affairs. Many of its troubles arise because men fail to make a schedule and arrange their tasks in the order of relative importance. The parade is held up by perfects ly good people stopping to do per fectly proper things at exactly the improper time letting the patient perish while they earnestly kill the snake. to his output. Then if he wants to loaf on the job it will be his loss and not his employer. BABCOCK When Dr. Stephen Moulton Bab cock died at the age of 87 a few days ago, there passed on the man who, more than any other individ ual, was the father of the modern dairy industry. The Babcock Test for butter fat revolutionized dairy ing, and s,et a new standard to which to breed dairy cows. Today the butter industry, which Includes not only milk, cheese and butter production but the wide range of manufacturing industries based on the use of casein, from skim milk, is one of the greatest in the nation. It has brought the impoverished wheat states of the Northwest into the forefront of ag ricultural prosperity. It has brought healthful, nourishing food within the reach of everybody. And all that as the result of one agricultur al college professor's experiments. McCORMICK Exactly 100 years ago, in July, 1831, a young Virginia farmer nam ed Cyrus McCormick made the first public demonstration of his horse- drawn reaper. At that time more than four-fifths of the people of the United States were engaged in farming. To put in another way, it took the labor of four families on the farm to feed five families, in cluding themselves. The direct result of McCormick's invention was to increase agricul tural production, and reduce the number of farmers. Today fewer than a quarter of our people are farmers. One family on the farm feeds three other families who pro duce no food. And anyone who knows farming will agree that few er farmers could feed the whole nation. McCormick became a millionaire, one of the few such in his time. His descendents still control the Inter national Harvester Company. They are industrialists, and the United States has become an Industrial na tion, largely because of Cyrus Mc Cormick. POPULATION The population of the United States is not increasing at as rapid a rate as formerly. We have about 125,000,000 people now, and Presi dent Hoover recently said that the expectation is for an increase of 20,000,000 In 20 years. That would give us 145,000,000 in 1951. The Importance of those figures lies in the fact that some long-time industrial and railroad operations have been based on the expectation that population would keep on growing at the rate which it did In the above "Zeppelin onfjVv lu-cls," answer to the airplanes' bid for half and can do i 3D miles ail hour. the 1890's and early 1900'8, when immigration was unrestricted. Pres sure for the lowering of Immigra tion bars comes mainly from those interests. Farm production in the United States today is sufficient to feed 140,000,000. Farmers must find a foreign market for food sufficient for 15,000,000 people, therefore, or suffer from low prices. The alter native is to reduce the acreage un der cultivation for the staple crops. That is what the Federal Farm Board is preaching, and it is bound to come. A demon taxi-driver whirled us into Fifth Avenue out of Twenty third street the other noon, just beating a red light, grazing a traf fic sign, grazing a safety zone, graz ing a bus. A cop halted him. De liberately he took a big handker chief from his pocket. "Listen, cowboy," he said, "On your way back I'll drop this, an' see if you can pick it up wit' yer teeth." With this he motioned him on.

And any continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders. Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor should know what is best for them. "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin" is a doctor's prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years' practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all ages. It has proven perfectly safe even for babies.
