A fundamental but often ne
elected rule for success IN bust
ness is, BE imaginative
Many people seem to think that
Imagination IS OF value only to wri-
ters. artists, and musicians. In re-
ality It Is OF the greatest helpful
ness 70 every man, no matter what
his business.
II you are selling mats or shirts
or shoes, carpets or wallpaper, books
or groceries, stove polish or plumb
er's supplies. Il you are selling any
thing whatsoever-the more you de-
yelop the imaginative faculty the
greater will be the likelihood OF
your prospering.
Some goods, TO be sure. almost
sell themselves, and you are fortu-
nate IL you deal in these. But the
sale OF even such goods may be
amazingly increased by the exercise
Of imagination to think up novel
methods Of advertising them, or
novel uses for them.
You need 20 be able % visualize
prospective customers in their daily
life. so that you can. whether by
word OF mouth or word OF pen, ap-
peal to them concretely. You must
divine their needs, their desires
and this you can do only IN pro
portion as you are imaginative
Also. especially IL you are sell
ing goods "on the road" or by mail,
you need the aid OF imagination 70
enable you. not simply 70 present
effective selling arguments, but 10
present these arguments at the
best possible time

The average girl of this country and
of government better conceived, will
consider the grand duchess part very
sad one
1t isn't what our girls will think about
the grand duchess part that we want to
comment upon, however.
1t is the attention of men, the men Of
Michigan in particular, that we want in
calling attention to this woman's sacri-
flee and WILLINGNESS to sacrifice.
It was always the part Of women and
always will be.
The grand duchess will yield soon to
marriage to a man whose identity she
does not know at this writing, because
it is DUTY that comes with her rank
and duty that comes with her royal
blood
She will meet it unhinchingly with the
courage of her sex-as unAinchingly as
the mother gives her son to his country
as HER part.
This is the interest Of A woman, this
sacrifice that Grand Duchess Marie is
ready TO make, and this is the interest OF
ALL women, this sacrifice that the moth.
er is willing to make, that the men OF
Michigan deny BY WITHHOLDING
FROM WOMAN THE RIGHT TO A
VOTE, and the RIGHT TO EXPRESS
THIS INTEREST.
Why not a vote for woman, men Of
Michigan
Why not tear down the barrier that

A Woman Soon to Marry
Doesn't Know Yet Who
Her Husband Will Be

The following came to the newspapers
from Zurich:
The Neue zuricher Zeitungs Luxemhurg
correspondent announces that the marriage
az Grand Duchess Marie OF Luxembourg
probably will take place shortly. Court
officials OF Luxembourg favor an Austrian
archduke The duchess for political rea-
sons cannot marry German prince or any
Of the Bourbon princes and the princes OF
the smaller neutral states either are too
young or are Protestants
The grand duchess is to be married
shortly.
She knows that much about it and
nothing more.
She doesn't know yet whom she is to
marry.
She has not been told.
The plight of the grand duchess re-
minds us of the candidate for political
Office who doesn't know what his plat
form is going to be until the party leaders
tell him.
Don't ask me-" returned the man who
was running for office when his attention
was called to an inconsistency in his
last speech, I'm only the candidate"
Grand Duchess Marie is only the bride
to-be.
Don't ask her whom she is to wed /;
the court officials haven't told her.
You know from the dispatch that they
favor an Austrian archduke; it is pos
sible that she doesn't know that much
about it.
Her ideal just possibly would have to
be tall, erect, athletic, brown-eyed and
dark, with perfectly magnificent"
head of hair, soft-voiced and affection
ate.
She may get; she may HAVE TO
TAKE a short, pussy, painting and bald
headed person with a pug nose, who cares
more for game of pinochle than for any
woman or any grand duchess in the
world.
The grand duchess is supposed to
marry this man, or SOMEBODY, no mat
ter how far removed he may be from
what she would order by way of hus-
band, and she is supposed to have chill
dren, as a service to the throne.
That Is the idea of royalty.
That is her part as a member of the
royal family.
