 Therefore, LOehrs removed the col lar that had reposed with it's back at his Adams apple and it's front at his top vertebra, flung his frock into a furrow of succotash, spat holy de- termination on his palms, cranked up his suspenders and went to it with a spade, as though being paid by the cubic inch.

WARES MERCHANTS
 OF DEFENDING ON
 CUSTOMERS FOR AID

Some old time merchants used to say that the satisfied customer was the best advertisement, and would give them all the new business they wanted. They depended upon thts more or less mythical creature to spread information about their store, and believed they could build up q trade as the result of favorable re ports given by their customers to their tOwnspeople. The practical re- suit of that style of merchandising was that stores that praciced it staid in the rut and were mighty lucky even to hold their old trade.
 EImore Peterson of the University of Colorado in addressing the Rocky Mountain Shoe Retailers the other day, warned them not to place de- pendence upon the satisfied custo- mer'' for their advertising. He said that the satisfied customer is the stores best ad for holding trade. but It is not so for getting new trade ''No merchant can hope to grow in his business he said, If he depends upon his customers to do his adver- tiSing for him.

The above quoted speaker might have put it much stronger than that The fact that purchaser is pleased with a purchase does not by any means indicate that he will go to that store again next time.
 Housewives do not spend time as, they were once reputed to do, in leaning over the back yard fence tell ing where they bought their brooms and calico dresses. Most people have no idea where their neighbors buy stuff anyway.
 A purchasers impulse to go to a certain place is largely influenced by two forms of suggestion: First, hav- ing seen an advertisement in some recent newspaper telling of something needed at that particular time; Second: the cumulative result of con- stant advertising, creating the i'm precision that a certain merchant is always playing the game and running his business in an enterprising way likely to attract the public.

Won Der Goltz, Typical German bunker, Makes Great Prediction for Himself and Exiled
 "AIl Highest

1 have recently had an interview with General Von der GOltz, the. Ger man autocrat, who is at present a thorn in the side of the Allies, and also of the German Government in Berlin. In this interview Won der Golez revealed to me his plans and ambitions. In revealing to the world the extraordinary scheme which is being fostered by this typical Prus- sian bully, 1 am animated with only one desire, and that is to let the world know the sinister designs of this dangerous man.
 Let me in the first instance des- cribe Won der GOltz as I saw him. Picture to yourself a man of large stature, with a massive jaw, eXpres- sing enormous wiu-Dower; small bee ting eye, in which only Jhe eNpres- sion of cruelty Is seen; q bullet shap ed head, with 6 close crop of grey hair. As I stood before him, I nOtic- ed his great hands twitching with a nervous intensity as though itching to be grasping his sword hiIt In short, in Won der GoItz you have a typical junkcr General of cavalry, animated by Ihe widest ambitions, and imbued with enormous conceit.
 I went to him on a mission which I cannot now explain. Suffice it to say. that I appeared before him in the guise of an ex-Russian RoyaliSt officer. anxious to restore the ancient regime in COurIand. I told him, the German, that I was authorized by il number of my compatriots to enter into the league with him if he could show me that his intentions were Roya listtc. end not Socialistic. I give in detail the astounding narrative he told me.

farm as a legitimate business invest ment.
 On the other hand, the pastor and his co-defendants, the two women, assert that shortly after Balsinger visited their church in May, 1913, he narrated to Loehrs a wondrous yarn:
 Balsinger, the defendants testified told of his siXty-three acre farm in Oakland, near Paterson. He told of it several time. First it grew vege- tables and corn. Then it grew sue cotash. And then some. Finally, the pastor declares, he was told of a vision that Balsinger had-the kind of a vision that was easily acquired before the first of last July.
 A colored damsel, with hair tighter than the Prohibition lid, came tripping along in Ralsinger's s sleep, and Balsinger went avision- ing, the pastor testified.
 About the time the vision reached his pillow, Loehrs said BaIsinger told him, the negress announced that Capt. Kidds treasure, S2,000,000 in jewels, coin and other valuables, was buried on his farm. Balsinger was said to have been informed that the sum could be had for the spad- ing.
 Awaited Pastors Spade.
 Loehrs wondered why Balsinger didn't go ahead and carve chunks out of the farm. But Balsinger is said to have said that the negroes insisted he wouldn't find a plugged nickle if he dug back and forth and back again, but that the treasure awaited the spade of a pastor. 4 consultation with the congrega. ton followed, said Loehrs, whose testimony was corroborated by his co defendants. They voted to back the dream for a promissory note of S5,OOO and $2O0 in cash. That was how the note was given in May, 1913, they said.
 Shortly after, the congregation shovel committee, consisting of the defendants, churned up the farm busting up forevermore the succo- tash crop and the bean trees and the rye bushes.
 The two women did the heavy shovelling, all the defendants testi- fled. Loehrs did the spectatoring. The women were good at their job (and so was Loehrs). Indeed, Loehrs was so good a gazer at the biceps move ments of the women that Balsinger they testified, promoted him one day with this suggestion: ''The vision has

CI.ERGYMEN IN
 SPAIN ASK FOR
 MORE MONEY

Madrid, Sunday, Nov. ,9-Clergy- men in conference here under the presidency of Cardinal Primado of Spain, have decided to ask the govern ment and the Cortez for increases in salaries.
 The new scale, as outlined by the conference, provides that no priest re- ceive less than one thousands pesetas (about $20O) yearly, and increases ranging from 30 to 65 per cent, ac- cording to the present salaries of priests, are asked, missionaries in Spanish colonies to be included.
 Charges for special masses and other special services would be in creased 35 per cent, according to the plan.

 Rebuff to General Gougf

Again, on another occasion, Gen. eraI Cough wished to shake hands with me, as though I, who am a sol dter of the Kaiser. would shake hands with one of the All Highest enemies. 1 refused to shake hands.
 In me you see Hindenburg, but with more loyalty and less bravado, more action and less talk than that iu-starred fighter. In me you see Luderdorff with that great soldier s genius for strategy, but in addition, I have what he fatally lacked, a knowledge of the world outside a uniform.
 want you to understand that I am neither rebel nor revolutionary. My task is to restore the old ways of law and order, of master and servant and King.
 Already we have formed a Berlin German Cabinet which will form the first Ministry of the new German State. which my bayonets will estab- fish in Western Russia. If I do not return to Germany at the behest of the present German Government it will be in order to further my plans in that city. I shall not desert the men I have led nor throw up the task I have vowed to complete.
 One day, and perhaps, before very long, the German Emperor, now in unhappy exile, will ascend a throne and will once again hold an import ant position among the few monar- chies that now remain in the world

 q interpOsed two questions. I ask ed Non der Goltz to tell me what his plans were in regard to trade should he reach the object of his ambitions and what explanation he had to give in regard to the allegations of cruel ty and barbarous treatment of the natives in that part of the country. He answered my second question first.
 It has always been characteristic of the enemies of Germany to brine allegations of cruelty or sufferins when it comes to a question of tht Kaisers interests or the convenience of his enemies. All rnose who op pose me oppose the Kaiser. The! must be swept away.
 Your other question relates to future State, a State which I trus you are going to help nae bring int existence. When that time comes tht world will see that the German state

PASTOR DIGS FARM
 FOR PIRATE HOARD
 AS DREAM DIRECTS
Spends Six Years, Capt. Kid ding Himself, at Oakland,
 N. J.-Suit for $5,OOO

Frederick Loehrs, of venerable age and pastor of the Congregation for the Enlighten ement of Soul and Spirit, a spirituaEstic ,organiza ton in Paterson, N. J., never has been known to utter, in public, any more Vltuperative epithet than "Ogosh, ogoshv'
 But it's an odds-on bet that when he found himself part way between his Jersey farm. and China, with a cracked spade in one fist and a busted suspender in the other and realized that he had been Capt. Kidding himself into digging for treasure, inspired by what he al- leges was a dream told to him by the man who sold him the property, the dominic, finding himself alone in the hole, exclaimed
 Oh, well, how do we know what he exclaimed
 Anyway, the dominic not only busted a suspender but came near bursting a few blood vessels when he found that the $2,000,000 treasure that he had ploughed up a farm to find wouldn't even materialize like a tarnished collar button.
 Loehrs told Judge Sotyer and a jury last week in Paterson that he and Mrs. Marie Blumer and Mrs Sophie Sautter fell for the tale of Daniel Balsinger that Balsinger's s farm held enough treasure to have made the average olden pirate ap- pear a panhandIer.
