matter how unusual or how far out of his province it may be.
 Yesterday morning a man called on him and requested his help in the for nation of a company to manufacture and apply a new kind of plaster for houses. Welch was just getting ready to explain that the board wasn't an in cooperating company when another stranger who had been hanging about the room injected himself into the con- versation. He was looking for bus- ness opening of some kind, and the plaster proposition sounded good to him. Welch decided that his duty was done when his visitors went off tOgeth CT, in earnest conversation.
 Soon thereafter a man dropped in and asked if the secretary could tell him where he and his wife could se cure a position on a ranch. Welch doesn't pose as an employment bureau but he happened to know of rancher who wanted just such a couple and gave his visitor the address.
 A young woman was his next caller. She had inserted an ad. in The Repub- lican, asking for position as stenog rapher. and received a reply from man who had neglected to give his ad- dress. Welch didn't know the man, who was a newcomer to Phoenix, but again a bystander came to his res cue and gave the young woman the address of her prospective employer.
 There were a dozen others yesterday who had strange requests to make. Welch couldn't comply with all the re- quests. but he did his level best. Tell your troubles to Harry Welch.' seems to be the moral. and. if his business in this line continues to increase he will open an office of his own as astrologer, cIairvoyant palmist and bureau of gen eral information.
