COURT DIRECTS
FOR THE COUNTY
Continued from Page One.)

Ar. Bell proved his fidelity to the
interests OF Crawford county by his
interest and efforts on behalf of the
county il assisting in preparing the
case for trial and in it's management
in court; Mr.. Currie, the county attor-
ney of Sac county, also rendered val
liable assistance in the management
of the case; while Maurice O'Connor
and his assistants did everything pos
sib!e On behalf of their client.
The defense introduced in the neigh
borhOod OF twenty to twenty-five wit
nesses, ali of whom were from this
county, and better and more intelli-
gent class of witnesses than were
examined i'll this case could not be
found. Mr. Boylan made something
OF reputation as an expert in driving
and. handling automobiles, and Frank
Mitchell is entitled to special mention
for looking after the interests of the
county by preserving the evidence
which was used on the trial, and in
standing for the county when at the
sane time he deeply sympathized with
the family of the deceased. Other
names could be specially mentioned,
but it is sufficient to say that each
party coEaected with the case per
formed his full duty.
The ruling of the court on the mo-
tiou af defendant to direct a verdict
follows
The motion to direct verdict in Iav-
or of the defendant having been fully
argued to the court by counsel for re-
spAGtive parties, and the court being fully

advised, finds that the motion to direct
verdict should be sustained, and the
court does hereby sustain the motion
generally.
The court feels impelled to reach this
conclusion primarily on the question Of
contriDutOry negligence Under the law
governing a case of this kind it is in
cumbent upon the plaintiff to establish
by a DrepOnderance of the evidence the
negligence Of the defendant, and in addi-
ton to establishing the negligence Of
the defendant it is equally incumbent
upon the plaintiff to establish the free
dom of the interstate from all negligence
which contributed to the injury COM
planned of. AS the court views this sit
uatiOn in the light of the evidence that
has been introduced it may or may not
have been a negligent act on the part Of
the defendant to establish the barricade
as it did with respect to travellers upon
the highway in question after night,
cOntributory negligence in the judgment
of the court there can be but one con-
cluSOn reached. If the nteState had
been looking where he was driving there
can be no question but that the barri-
cade as erected would have been seen
is the judgment of the court that it was
the duty Of the driver of an automobile
to be on the lookout as to where he was
going. If his lights were not burning,

ways at a rate Of speed from 20 to 25
miles an hour, that in the judgment of
the court itself would be contributory
negligence; if his lights were burning
as thus travelling upon the highway he
could have seen and should have seen
this barricade. The barricade is erected
as warning, there can be no question
concerning it, no two people can reach
any different conclusion with respect to
the province of a board of this size. An
admOnition built as it was across the
travelled path in this highway has a
mission which appeals to all alike. Upon
it's being seen it impresses all men alike
with the thought that travel is intended
to be impeded by it, SO that the intes-
tate, if he saw it should have stopped,
and if he didn't see it it is the judgment
of the court that he was guilty Of con-
tributory negligence for not seeing it.
Now, if it should be commended, which

Strategy in Displaying Goods.
rom the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
The art of displaying merchandise in
manner to tempt the purchaser is one
that has been brought to high perfection.
Few buyers realize, perhaps the pains
spent in the effort to quicken wants of
which they have been unconscious and
to coax the coin from their pockets.
Some ingenious individual who has
studied carefully the psychology of the
feminine shopper has made the discovery
that the plan of the average department
store, in which the counters are placed
at right angles to one another. is a dis
couragement rather than lure. The
familiar phrase, Three aisles over and
turn to your left" serves well enough
for the woman who has made up her
mind what she wants and is intent on
reaching it, but it deters the shopper
who is drifting about with indefinite idea
and mind receptive. only to appeal that
reaches her directly through the eyes.
SO the suggestion is made that coun-
tiers. instead of being set at right angles
to the aisles, be placed on converging
diagonals, so that their array of goods
and prices will be in view as the shop
per who shops for the love of it walks
down the aisle from which they slope.
The idea seems good enough to try:
1t is such carefully thought out
schemes as this that have made success
for those Who recognize that merchan-
dising is both an art and science.

Farmer Russell. driving along the
sunburned road, was surprised to see
an enormous load of hay sitting rlgnt
and extending out on either side SO
that nothing could pass. 1t was the
biggest all-fredest load of hay Farmer
Russell had ever seen. 1t was as pig
as ten ordinary loads; mountain OF

Farmer Russell drove as close to
the foot of the hay mountain as ne
could and gazed upon the marvel Up
and down and around his eyes wan

farmer boy in butternut Jeans sitting
away up on the tip top of the load.
The lad was crying. Farmer Russell
made a megaphone of his cupped hands
and shouted:
Hey, Come down from up there"
The little boy slid down the hay

tale about the horses running away
with the load of hay, upsetting the

istration. And for all I know that
may be true.
1t was on one of these visits to Wash
ington that Parker Anderson, cor
respondent for nearly every paper in
North Carolina, wrote the famous
Bunch McBee telegram, which has
made Parker famous all over the world
wherever newspaper stories are told.
One of Parker's papers telegraphed
something like this:
Bunch McBee is now in Washing
ton. We understand he is being promi-
nently considered as ambassador to
Germany. Please send US good story,
leading off with the statement that
the President will or will not appoint
him."
OF course, the German kaiser would
be delighted to welcome United States
Ambassador Bunch McBee to Berlin.
OF course, the United States Senate
would dearly love to confirm Bunch
McBee But Parker didn't think about
that He merely muttered a few ran
dom curses at the managing editor
who asked a question that probably
Joe Tumulty could not have answered
had there been any truth in the
thought that Bunch was being consid-
cred Had Bunch been in the running
probably even the President himself
could not have answered the news
paper query.
So Parker opened the drawer to his
desk and took out a pipe and loaded
it with a good charge of tobacco.
He then lit the tobacco and smoked

Alexander the Great
Was a Servian

THE student of ancient history, revel-
l ing in the triumphs of Alexander
the Great, never thinks Of linking his
mighty name with that of the little
kingdom of Servia, the fires of whose
internal troubles have set all the
world ablaze. Yet it was from that
small but explosive land that there
once marched forth to the conquest of
the world little army Of forty thou
sand men; and, having completed that
thei rleader sighed because there were
no more worlds left to conquer.
Alexander the Great was a Servian-
that is. he was a native of the country
that is now Servia. His army was made
up almost entirely of ancient Servians.
His mothers family came from the
region up around that turbulent but
much-coveted district of Novi-Bazaar,
and 1t was from the mountains lying
between the Mediterranean and the mid
die Danube, and the valleys on their
northern slopes. that he drew the flower
of that forty thousand who marched to
the barbicans of China and the sources
of the Indus.
1t is stern, rock-bound country, this
Servia. better fitted for growing soldiers
than cereals. There has always re-
manned just enough of the barbarian
about the mountaineers of the country
to make them ideal warriors. Philip OF
Macedon brought them down to the
Mediterranean coast and routed the
polished Greeks with them-includins
the eloquent but timid Demosthenes-
and then. instilling just enough OF
Greek culture beneath their Berserk
bosoms to make them fully appreciate
what the conquest of the world meant

That was the Servian of old, alike in
many respects to his modern brother
The Servian of today few years age
took up the sword against the might
and millions of the Mos1em empire as
jauntily as his forefathers formed their
phalanx and marched across the Hell
lespont to conquer the unknown and
untold millions of Persia and the Indies
and more recently he took up his rifle
against the Austrian Goliath, moved his
government back into the hills out OF
range of fire. and went whistling to bat
tie. never asking whether the odds were
twenty or fifty to one.
The name Servia denotes that its
people were sprung from slaves. Theil
broader name, Slav. denotes the same
origin. But, when applied to people
who for countless centuries have fough
against tremendous odds for theil
liberty. the term takes on a new anf
honorable meaning, Just as the terri

The Siberian Ivory.

RIOT all the ivory brought to market
~ is derived from living animals.
Certain ivory is obtained from animals
long since dead-relics, indeed, of a re-
mote age. Ivory of this sort is found
in Siberia, the ivory of a creature un-
known. 1t is cut from the tusks of
mastodons whose skeletons are found
frozen in masses of ice or buried in the
mud of Siberian rivers and swamps.
The northern part of the country
abounds in extensive boys, which are
called urmans, and in these are found
the tusks of the mastodon. 1t is in
ferred that these animals lost their
lives by venturing upon surface not
capable of sustaining their weight.
To most creatures these urmans are
forbidden ground. The nimble rein
deer can sometimes effect a passage
of them in safety during summer, but
other large and heavy animals at
tempting to emulate these deer would
be engulfed.
In the Tobolsk museum are to be
seen various specimens of mammoth,
and throughout this region they are
not at all rare. When an ice pack
breaks down river bank, or the sum
mer thaw penetrates deeper than
usual into the ground, some of these
antediluvian monsters are very likely
to be exposed.
In many cases their remains are so
fresh and well preserved, with their
dark. shaggy hair and underwood of
reddish brown. their tufted ears and
long, curved tusks, that all the aborig-
ines, and even some of the Russian
settlers. believe that they are speci-
mems of animals that still live, bur-
rowing like moles, and that they die
the instant they are admitted to the
light.
The farther north one proceeds. the
more abundant are these remains.
They are washed up with the tides
upon the arctic shores, and some ex-
tensive islands off the coast contain
great quantities of fossil ivory and
bones.
Tusks long or repeatedly exposed to
the air are brittle and unserviceable,
but those which have remained buried
in the ice retain the qualities of re-
cent ivory and are valuable article
of merchandise. The greatest market
for these mammoth tusks is Yakutsk,
on the Lena. Thence they find their
way to workshops of European Rus
STA and to the ivory carvers of Can
ton.

Modern Single Truck Cars.

From the Electric Railway Journal
A few years ago the single-truck car
seemed doomed to die natural death
except in cities which were too small
to use the large double-truck cars
which were becoming more and more
popular No one would have ventured
to foretell that the time would come
when a large city company would &C
tually discard double-truck cars in e1-
cellent operating condition for any
kind of single-truck design Yet this is
precisely what the Sd avenue railway
system, New York, has done during
the current year in ordering a total OF
fifty singIe-truck cars. The one
thing worth pointing out at this time
is that the operator Of a modern sin
gle-truck car has nothing to apologize
service an economic possibility. The
public must be educated to the fact
that it would be as absurd for it to
expect a metropolitan car in 1ow-traf-
fic service as to demand big-city stand
ards in theaters and public buildings.
