CAUGHT THE BUYERS.
Making Use of the Law and Disaster
to Draw Trade.

- ~
In an English city not long ago
the Junior partner of dry goods
firm applied for a warrant for the
arrest of his partner on the ground
that he was selling goods below cost
and so running the firm. So great
was the local interest in this case
that the courtroom was as crowded
when the suit came up for trial as it
might have been had a sensational
murder case been the cause. Coun-
sci for the senior partner moved for
postponement of the trial in order
that he might have more time to
prepare his case. The motion was
granted. As the defendant left the
courtroom the younger member of
the firm stood up and angrily cried:
off he is released the sacrifice
will go on!"
The consequence was that an
hour later the shop was mobbed by
bargain seekers, and eventually,
when the case was called again, no
plaintiff appeared. whereupon the
case was dismissed. The whole af-
fair was simply ruse on the part
of the firm to attract customers.
Following is an instance of how
disaster was turned to good account
BY a French cloth manufacturing
concern. This concern actually dou-
bled its profits through a balloon
disaster near Rouen. In this disas-
ter the car of the balloon had bro
ken away. The aeronaut and his
elder son were thrown downward,
but the son had been caught by
hook that pierced his coat. He was
carried in this way for some miles
and at last came safely to the
ground. His coat was repurchased
by the makers, the mentioned COM
pany, and hung in the show win
dows with full description of how
it saved the wearer's life.
A Welsh miller had lost a guinea
piece in a bin of -four and. after
spending many hours in unavailing
search for it, told a friend of his
misfortune.
perhaps it will turn up in one of
the Sacks" suggested the friend,
whereupon the miller was seized
with brilliant idea. He advertised
his loss in the local papers, offering
a reward to the finder of the gold
piece. His sales trebled in a week
or so, and he was paid many times
over for the loss of his guinea

Michelanoelo's Vow.

The story is told, but with no
solid foundation, that Raphael had
undertaken to decorate the walls of
the mansion of Cardinal Farnesina,
on the banks of the Tiber, on the
condition that no one should see
his work until it was completed.
Michelangelo took an oath that
he would stop this work. Finding
his opportunity when the artist
came late to work and disguised as
a seller of cakes and wine, he dis
tracted the attention of those round
the scaffold that was prepared by
offering to them his wares, and, as
cending, he drew upon the wall a
gigantic head of Jupiter and hur-
riedly left the building, his vow
thus accomplished. When Raphael
presently came he. instantly ex-
claimed on seeing the sketch,
''Michelangelop' and left the pal
ace. never to return

NEEDLES GOOD ROADS Asso-
CITATION.
L. V. Roof, PRESIDENT,
H. E. BENEDICT, SEC'Y AND
TREAS.
Needles, Cal. Doc. 6, 1912.
Parks Transfer Co.,
Mr.. w. H. Clark,
Holbrook, Ariz.
Dear SIR
About so of Kingman's Good
Road Boosters held a joint ses-
sion with a like number of en-
thusiasts at Needles November
18th. The important object of
the meeting was to establish a
northern route of the Ocean to
Ocean highway from Los Ange-
les through by way of Barstow,
Needles, Kingman, Seligmap,
Ash Fork, Williams, Flagstaff,
Winslow. Holbraok, Gallup and
east to Albuquerque.
The Supervisors of Mohave
county will bond their county
for One Hundred Thousand Dol
lars for the building of this road
from the Colorado river to their
east county line; also building a
road from Peach Springs down
Diamond Creek to one of the
most scenic points of the Grand
Canyon, offering an opportunity
for automobiles to drive to the
waters edge.
We are writing you that you
may interest your people and CO.
operate with the balance of the
Good Road Boosters along the
route. One of your townsmen,
Mr.. Fred Nelson, recently made
a return trip over this Northern
route and when here sisted that
it was very passable. With the
cooperation and assistance which
we will get from the different
counties, this road can be put in
excellent condition; in fact we
are led to believe that it will be
far superior to the Southern
route. With the advantages of
visiting the Grand Canyon, the
driving through the mountains
and the addition of an excellent
hotel service there is little doubt
left but that the great portion
of the automobile traffic acroos
the country will come this way.
1t has been variously estimated
that from Fifty Thousand to
One Hundred Thousand automo-
biles will cross the country in
1915. There is no one thing
that would better advertise our
country or bring mora money
into it than to have the big per-
centage of this traffic travelling
over a highway leading through
the places named.
l am writing to people in
Springerville and St. Johns; also
Gallup, New Mexico. Please
give this matter your earliest
consideration and correspond
with me. 1t is possible that we
will later make a personal visit
and endeavor to enthuse your
people.
Yours very truly.

INDIANA FOR TAFT

Of Ohio.
Wilson's popularity, according to
Judge CLANCY, is on the wane.
The Republican party cannot go
before the country with a candidate
who does not endorse the administra-
tion," declared Judge Clancy at the
new Ebbitt. If it should then there
would be no hope of victory. We
might as we'll admit defeat
With this view there is, in my
opinion, no other course left open but
o renominate President Taft. 1 be-

lake this view, and that the Presi-
