THE PROBLEM OF GETTING COM.
MISSION Statesmen TO STICK
Feather Gets Rufned

As SOON as / met Martin Brainard
n the general manager of the Glider
Automobile Company, / knew why he
was popular with the district manager.
He was a kindly, courteous, elderly
gentleman. and one wonders how he
managed to build up such a splendid
business, In talking with him, how
ever. you were quickly impressed with
the way he sorted facts from opinions
and how logically and quickly he ana
lyzed problem.
We four-Brainard Feather, Duke
and myself-had lunch at the Mer-
chants Club. During lunch Brainard
refused to have business discussed, al
though Feather tried hard to do so.
As soon as lunch was over, however,
Brainard said:
"I'm sure, Mr.. Duke, that you al
ready have a plan whereby we can re-
duce our high cost of hiring men|'
"Yes. Mr.. Brainard. Your problem
is really. simple"
'That's splendid. viii you tell us
what it is?' responded Brainard.
) Feather merely gave an ill-concealed
grunt.
II must warn you," Duke smiled,
"that while the plan is simple, its exc
rution is not so simple; but I'm sure
Mr.. Feather can do it.
"Ycs. indeed, I'm sure he can"
Branard bowed his head ever so
slightly.
This is how size up the case, gen
tIemen." AS Duke began to speak
Feather and Brainard instinctivsly
hitched up their chairs little nearer
while you have a rate of pay for
statesmen, you have no plan of hiring
them. Each manager does as he wishes
prepares his ads and interviews pros
pective statesmen just as the mood takes
him.
""The managers look upon hiring mel
as incidental to their work, and more
or less of bother" Turning to me
Duke said, II visited number of th'
branch offices while you We're in kee'
hoo and before we talked with MIR
Feather"
whats the idea of that?" growlet
Feather.
| 'T cant afford to get preconceiyet
ideas of h problem from a business
head, so by doing little preliminar!
skirmishing ! avoid that-besides, ! an
able TO follow more intelligently idea.
that may be given to me-"
'lIumph,' - was the ungracious com
ment of Feather.
''The first thing, then, to avoid in
discriminate methods of hiring is to re
lieve the district managers of that dut,
and to centralize all the employment
statesmen under one head
"Do you mean,' snapped Feather
"that we here in Detroit should hir
the statesmen for Kalamazoo, or Bos
ton, or Pittsburgh, or Frisco? If SO
must say, Mr.. Duke, l think it's
stupid idea ~ =.
wait, Feather" Brainard put hi
hand on Feathers knee. II wouldn'
condemn an idea until it is explained.
Duke faced Brainard, and from the
on addressed all his remarks to hin
thus ignoring Feather.

'If, Mr.. Brainard, you have sales
employment manager, you can systema-
tie your method of hiring and training
men. All that work can be done-and
should be done before salesman is
turned over to a branch manager
''That would relieve the manager of
a job he doesn't like and doesn't know
how to handle. He could then put his
time TO studying the territory, finding
leads, circYarizing for prospects and
such work Tor which he is equipped,
'.It will also give him more time to
supervise the service stations. l be-
lieve each manager has to oversee the
foreman in charge of it, doesn't he?"
Brainard nodded assent.
''How did you find the service sta
tions in the towns you visited-that is,
if you did--er-have time to see
them?" Feather asked in rather
bullying way.
Duke turned on him quietly and said ::
-''I not only visited them, but called
on II number of people who had re-
Gently used the service stations. If your
record of complaints is as complete as
your sales statistics, you know better
than / how unsatisfactory they are.
Can you expect different when good
mechanic has practical charge? Such
man knows the car, but knows no
bookkeeping, nor does he know how to
handle a disgruntled owner. No won
der owners are disappointed and don't
rebuy. Do your statistics give a rec
ord Of repeat buyers? Relieve the
manager of hiring men. and he'll have
time to supervise the service stations
and to see that owners are satisfied" "
Feather looked decidedly upset and
glanced anxiously at Brainard. That
| gentleman, however, never said a word.

The Convict's Plot


TNHE tool house was a mass of flames
i as the farmers family ran from the
house, and they had all they could do to
drag the tools and farm machinery from
it before the roof crashed in, sending
sparks high into the heavens. Peggy,
Billy and the birds, flying around to see
what would become of the pot of gold,
had to dart away in a hurry to escape
the smoke and cinders.
Meanwhile, the convict made a quick
Job of seizing the treasure, leaping from
the window, and darting away in the
shelter Of the hedges.
As the last machine was drawn safely
from the tool house, the farmers family
thought Of the pot of gold. Into the
house they raced, only to find it gone.
Then there was shouting, weeping,
and a wailing, and the row waged hotter
than ever for moment. The mother
finally hushed it up.
I'm glad the gold is gone!" she ex
claimed. 1--WE were all SO contented
and happy before it came, and it worked
evil among us all
"You are right, mother" spoke up
the father. 1--WE don't need riches to
satisfy our desires. Our crops are good
and I'll have enough money by fall to
build you the new house you want, to
give Sue the dress on which she has
set her heart, to send Jane to the art
schools of Paris, and to give Henry a

 IF ALLECEL SPO|Ls

After having the grand larceny case against him dismissed. although he is alleged to have confessed his guilt to the county attorney, Robert Halpin asked the court to refund the amount of money he is alleged to have stolen and which was taken from him when placed behind the bars to await trial.
 Halpin was arrested the latter part of December charged with the larceny of approximately s90 Wednesday County Attorney L. NJ.

MUCH PAVING TO BE DONE SOON ON
 STREETS IF MESA

MESA, March 21.-Mesa is to have more paving. So said the city council when at it's last meeting. resolutions
 were passed relative to paving Main
 street from Center to the eastern limit
 of the town and East First street from
 Macdonald out to Hilbert. This means
 that Mesa will have a mile of paved
 roadway running west through the
 town and connecting up with the Mesa Phoenix highway. Since it is planned that part of the proposed county road building will include the Roosevelt highway from the eastern limits of
 Mesa to the eastern canal, which is the desert boundary. It means that travellers coming over the Apache Trail
 will strike paving at the valleys edge
 and ride through to the state capital
 on as good road as is to be found in the country.
 The First avenue paving runs through the residence section one block north of Main. Later on will come the paw ing of North Macdonald street from | the present terminus of the paved dis trict to the city limits on the north, giving another mile of finished high way for the fast growing city of the south side

COFFEE MAN SAYS
 STOCKS ARE LIGHT

Ed. F. Murphy, representing the M. J. Brandenstein coffee house in San Francisco. is among recent arrivals in Phoenix. MT. Murphy reports that never before, not even during the war, has there been such tenseness and scarcity in the coffee situation. Cheap coffee stocks are almost entirely ex- hausted in this country.
 This condition, said MT. Murphy, is caused largely by the lack of trans portation facilities during and after the war. The governments huge buy ing of coffee for army and navy con- sumption also was a factor and took up almost all spot stocks of coffee in America.
