COAST IDEAS
WILL Be USED
IN LOCAL SHOW

Many ideas which he secured while
attending the big auto show at San
Francisco will be used by Edward Ru-
dolph, Arizona state distributor of Ford
cars, in his display of Ford machines
at the Phoenix auto show.
Mr.. and Mrs Rudolph have just re-
Gently returned from a long auto trip
through California, during which stops
were made at many of the important
points. The trip from Los Angeles to
Phoenix was made in just 2512 hours
running time.
The Ford display at the San Fran
cisco show, according to Mr. Rudolph,
was the most attractive he has ever
viewed and many of the novel features
of the Frisco show will be incorporated
in the local display.
On the return trip to Phoenix, the
party traversed the Parker Needles
route and Mr.. Rudolph brings the in
formation that the roads are in ex-
cellent condition along this route,
which will undoubtedly prove the most
popular for motorists this summer.
Two cutoffs have been made; one
between this city and Parker and one
between Parker and Ludlow. These
cutoffs have effected a considerable
reduction in mileage. The improve
ments on the roads have resulted in a
big reduction Of time to motorists be-
tween this city and Los Angeles.

CIRCUS WILL BUY
FRESH PRODUCE IN

Aside from the animal food which
is purchased by the Barnum & Bailey
circus locally, there are orderss to be
placed for the feeding of more than
fourteen hundred healthy persons
three times a day. But there should
be no shortage of food because the
circus gives notice in advance of its
wants and when the red wagons ar
rive in town, food for men and beasts
is delivered on the lot and ready for
cooking.
.Ahe commissary department, under
the supervision of Charles Henry,
buys practically all Of its supplies
from day to day, thus avoiding the
necessity of carrying cumbersome
loads of foodstuffs on the circus trains
For the day that the circus will
spend here, Commissary Henry will
purchase in the local markets approx
imately 300 pounds of mutton chops,
200 pounds of pork, 800 pounds of
beef, 200 dozen eggs, 800 loaves of
bread, 10 barrels of potatoes, 10 bush
els of carrots, 10 bushels of cabbage,
bushels of turnips, 20 barrels of ap-
pies, 200 head of lettuce and similar
amounts of other vegetables and fruits
These supplies will all be consumed
in t....is city, with the exception of just
enough food for breakfast IN tne
next town, which is all the commits
sary department ever carries with 1t.
The "cookhouse' and kitchen tents
are the first canvasses erected on the
sh grounds in the morning, and
hot breakfast is generally ready for
serving by 7 a. M, provided the cir
