MEMPHIS HAS 4 MAYORS
IN OFFICE IN SINGLE DAY

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 22.-Mem-
phis to-day experienced the novel sit
uation Of having four Mayors in one
day. The day started with w. T.
McLain as Mayor and Fire and Po-
lice Commissioner. Early In the
morning former Mayor e. II. Crump,
who was "ousted" several months
ago, but reelected to start a new
term January and reinstated by the
Supreme Court, was sworn into the
office.
Shortly after taking the oath of
office Mayor Crump resigned and r.
A. Utley, Fire and Police Commits
sioner, automatically became Mayor.
Mr.. Utley was ousted with Mr..
Crump and went back into Office this
morning, removing Mr.. McLain.
When 1t was rumored that another
custer would be filed because the Su-
preme Court claimed that the custer
law was retroactive Mr.. Utley resign
ed from the mayorship. At the af-
ternoon session of the City Commits
sion T. c. Ashcroft was elected May
or to serve for term ending Janua-
ny l, 1920. w. T. McLain was elect
ed Fire and Police Commissioner and
Vice Mayor.
When Mr.. Utley qualified as Fire
and Police Commissioner this morn
ing Mr.. McLain, who had held that
position about two months. went out
OF ONCE. In less than twenty-four
hours he was back on his job again.,
Thus former Mayor Crump and Fire
and Police Commissioner Utley be-
came private citizens.

II seems that the decision of the
Ohio Fiscal Court to return to the
old system of working the roads has
met with popular approval. In some
parts of the county the roads get no
attention whatever under the former
system and people living in those sec
lions pay their taxes without receiv-
ing the benefit. Under the old sys-
tenn, however. every man works his
own road.

GARFIELD TO BE SHOWN THE
 SIGHTS HERE

The Tuesday tour of Hon. James R. | Garfield through the Salt River val ley was planned yesterday in detail, ,,i so that with but little effort, every | body except those in the most remote l localities, will have an opportunity to meet this distinguished visitor
 Early in the day he will be taken | by his host, Dwight B. Heard, by auto, through the southeastern part of the valley, arriving at Chandler at II o'clock At the usual forum in front of the San Marcos hotel, Mir Garfield will address the public on the presidential issues After luncheon he will be taken to Mesa City. where he will speak in tEe city hall at 2:30 O clock Thence he will go to Tempe for a similar speech at 4:30 and then to Phoenix for the big mass meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A. stadium at 7:S0
 The sOuthside towns were visited yesterday by President Heard. Treas urer Dennett and the organization secretary of the state branch of the National Hughes Alliance. to arrange the preliminaries for the above meet ings and incidentally to prepare for the organization of branches of the alliance in each place At all points the party met with an enthusiastic welcome and found hearty co-opera- tion In effecting its mission At Chandler a goodly number enrolled themselves in the preliminary organi- zation and each one pledged himself to get out ! good crowd for the Car field meeting.
 At Mesa there was special and non- rartisah recognition of the Irivilece of hearing MT. Garfield who is well known to many of the Mesa people I brg -f-
 retary of the interior during the per- iod of reservoir construction It was suggested that it would only be com munity courtesy to close the stores for brief period during his address 1 that all might have an opportunity t1 | hear him. for those who would be edi- | fled by his remarks are by no means | confined to his partisan admirers. or 1 those who are in political agreement 1 with him. Several merchants includ- | ing Mir. Leseuer, one of the leading | business men approved the idea and it | is altogether likely that the stores generally will close for a half hour
 or so.
 At Tempe Dr. Bennett put in an | hour or so of personal work to l sDlendiGly satisfying result Enroll

 a secondary feature of his mission.
 Next time he goes he will carry d trunk full of them.
 The doctor arranged for Tempe

HOW THE MAXWELL
 STAGED COMEBACK

The inauguration of dividends at the rate of 10qt per annum on Maxwell Motor common may awaken the pub lie to a realization of the pace at which Maxwell is now coming forward. Maxwell antedated Ford in large output in the popular priced field and there are probably more Maxwell en- zines of early dates still on the high ways than of any other make. But there came a time when Maxwell had to rebuild financially from the founda tion up. How efficiently was the re- building is indicated by the inaugura- tion of the present 10lt dividend rate.
 To find out what is under it in fac tory. organization and management the writer took little time recently to s down to fundamentals at De- troit He found Maxwell Motor cars being turned out of the factory at such pace that an enormous circus tent had to be provided for their covering between factory and freight car until more buildings now under way could be finished.
 The record hung up the day he left was 412 cars, and the previous day was also over 400 for output. a present capacity and output at the rate of 120,000 cars per annum against 60,OO0 put out the past twelve months and 30 900 the previous year.
 Reasons for Maxwell Success
 The progress of Maxwell has been town talk in Detroit
 It's success is due:
 First, to the one model policy.
 Second, a good name, never changed and always mechanically maintained.
 Third, a sound financial policy.
 Fourth, good generalship manifest ing itself in every detail from labora tory and shop efficiency to an educa- tional advertising campaign and an in- telligent selling organization covering | the entire country.
 l Fifth, consistent large educational l newspaper advertising.

 It is the business of the directors. particularly of an executive commit tee of five-J. c. Brady. William c. Potter. Eugene Meyer, Jr., H. Bronner and Henry Sanderson, all of New York to keep the financial sheet clear and conduct a responsible executive con- mittee management.
 It was the great task of the directors a few years ago to comb over the field and find the man to head the organiza- ton. Error in choice might mean failure, and success opened great pos abilities This man they found in Walter E. Flanders. After this came the forming of a policy and then the push for the goal

When Walter E. Flanders president

When Walter E.. Flanders president of the Maxwell company, was selling heavy machine tools made in Rhode Island, and getting in touch with everything in manufacturing organiza- ton from chemist to salesman. he little dreamed of his future. The industry where he was to make his mark had not been born, but unconsciously he learned who was who and what was what and how to put them together.
 In the Ford factory his ability in organization and in economical me chanics had full play. Today, it has fuller play in the Maxwell works. where armies of wheels and trains of bodies
