Unless the astounding action OF a

At meeting OF the committee,
Monday morning. the legal publishing
and various job printing contracts
were promptly awarded To the lowest
bidder. When IL came 10 the oihciai

The specifications require publica'
ton In all editions OF a morning o.:
afternoon newspaper. The council has
permitted the EVENING News Asso-
citation to bid for its AFSLedltion- under
these specifications since it discontin-
ued the Tribune several years ago.
Although The Times guaranteed 10
give identical service At a 'ower rate in
its morning issue. comprising the hrSt
and second editions. Rheiahardt, Wing
and Skrsycki voted to pay the News
several hundred dollars more for the
same service and make future compe-
tition for this award impossible by
ruling that editions issued from n De-
troit newspaper office In the morning
are not morning issues unless they
come from the EVENING News Asso'
citation plant.
II there is 10 he competition III

tice for the lowest bidder, II is up to
the council TO refuse 10 follow the rec
ommendation OF the printing commit
tee in this matter. The Free Press
and Journal no longer try TO compete
for the business. and if the commit
tees contention that only the News
is qualified is upheld, a monopoly OF
the official printing at its own terms is
inevitable.

MIDNIGHT TALkER
FINALLY CAPTURED
Herman Luehman Has Delivered
Semi-Weekly 0rations On Mrs
Gorenflo's Lawn for Two Years.

Right in the midst of his four hun

sort which he had been patiently de-
liVering for four years, at midnight.
every Saturday and Sunday, in front
of Mrs. Mary Goren1los residence, a.
No. 80 Maple-st., Herman luehman. 30
years old. of No. $40 Dequindre-st.,
was arrested by Patrolman School,
sunday night.
Four years ago Luehman. who is a
shipping clerk employed in Jefferson
ave Wholesale clothing store, met Mrs.
Gorentlo while they were Doth touring
Europe. Ii was one of those chance
meetings between fellow townsfolk in
foreign land, but it evidently made
a deep impression on LuChman. Not
long after her return from Europe,
Mrs Gorenfo, the widow of one OF
Detroits most prominent German citi-
Gems. was greatly astonlshed when
Luehman appeared In front of her
home and started to crate on Ger
many, the kaiser, world politics, ana
other topics. AT that time, Luehmau
was arrested and fined. But he re-
turned to his Saturday Sunday mid
night talks. Always at about midnight

Usually his remarks were prefaced by
the statement, probably meant for Mrs.
GorenflO's unwilling ears. You are
rich and | am poor and you will not
talk to me, but | will talk. Then he
would launch into discussions about
the kaiser Some nights. he would
laud the kaiser TO the skies. Again.
he would assail him bitterly. Ever
and anon he would break into song
the old German folk songs. love songs
and national airs being rendered with
tremendous effect.
Week after week, members OF the
household planned to trap him. but
Luehnian was wary, and he would APP
pear only when there was no chance
OF being captured
But Sunday, at midnight, Patrolman
School was standing behind a tree
when Luehman started his regular per-
Torrance. The officer was RECALLED
with = hot discourse on the kaisers
pol,tics. and stood motionless, but
when Luehman started 10 sing, School

What do you want 10 do such
things for?" asked the Judge.
"I'n stop it," said Luehman.

obligingly, and he fined Luehman $40

~ the main ingredients In the eyolu.
ton Of big modern business How
this principle may BE- applied effect.
lively On cooperative basis to
widen markets and create new ones,
Is illustrated by the striking success
of the allied fruit growers Of Cali
fornia.
TWO years ago the growers. through
their exchange. began an advertising
campaign with an appropriation of s5.-
OOO. The next year they spent S25, 600
telling the country about the virtues
OF California fruit And this year the
sum of $4,000 has been set aside
for the same purpose
One significant instance of the profit
in such procedure Is shown in the case
OF Siorx City. In one year without
publicity. this market consumed
ninety carloads of California fruit.
The next year. with advertising. the
amount jumped to lT2, or nearly 100
per cent.
Other similarly impressive compari-
sons are given for various localities.
and they must De credited. since hard.
headed business men would not be
increasing a cold outlay OF cash in
so large n ratio In two years. did not
results Justify the expenditure.
The growers have found that che
campaign was aided By adopting spe.
cial brands for different fruits. and
applying them throughout the process
OF marketing and publicity. even
going so far as to wrap each indi-
vidual orange In tissue paper bearing
the title OF the brand.
All these revelations are coming out
as the result Of the investigations
OF a committee OF orange-groweTs
from Florida. seeking TO discover the
reason for the encroaching sales OF
the Western product.
IL is a safe bet that the men from
the South will take a leaf from the
experience of Western enterprise. and
straightway inaugurate similar meth
DDS. They do not expect to displace
the California product. Their plan
Is 10 increase the demand for Florida
fruit. so that as a result of their cam
paigns the total consumption of the
country will appreciate considerably.
The idea might, with advantage, be
adapted TO other Southern products.
The art Of publicity. as exemplified
by the stimulation OF industry and
the legitimate quickening OF consump-
ton. Is barely in its infancy in Amer
lea. The South has as much TO gain
as the West in studying its possibil.
tiles and the way TO materiailze them.
