Watts was exhib- i iting his model, in working order. on the streets Of Srringdale Saturday. and it was the center of attraction. The idea is large bully. or wiIldlass arranged on an auxiliary axle on the front of the car A rope from this is attached to a convenient tree. fence post or stake. and the running of the engine winds the rope on the wmdlass and the car is pulled out O the mud hole. Mr. Watts was stuck in a mudhote near Elm Springs re- gently, and the ideas of his patent came to him there.

It works much easiar than harnesSins up old Beck and Tom, and with the same result
