CUP IN TIE AIR"

Very timidly [ went to the Boss
Wednesday morning during work
hours and asked if 1 could get off
for few minutes to "go up in the
air." He very kindly consented
knowing that I was going to have my
first ride in an aeroplane.
After the machine was all in readi-
ness, the pilot motioned me to get
in whereupon I took my seat in front
of the pilot. Little time passed before
the great machine started during
which time 1 though of this and that,
and my heart got to beating faster
and faster Finally the machine
started off on the ground at a pretty
good clip and after one turn was
made on the ground and before l
knew it we were up in the air. I
looked down on the ground and saw
a lot of pigs in pasture below. l
wondered who was engaged in hog
raising and had so many pigs in a
pasture but on second look I dis
covered that they were cows and
horses. Over the Little Colorado we
flew, then around and over the High
school building, up by the ice plant
and over Coopertown, past the depot
and then back to the ball park
Say, that was something great!
From above the town of Winslow
looks pretty, actually pretty, and
very clean. The streets appear so
straight and look as if they were
paved. The people on the streets
were tiny specks, automobiles run
ming around looked as small as toy
cars. The ride was very smooth. not
half as bad as l thought it would be-
Mr.. w. M. Ainslie, who is taking
this aeroplane to the coast, has been
taking passengers in his machine
along the route of his trip. These
rides prove very popular and each
person gets his moneys worth The
machine is the property of The
Colorado Aviation Corporation of
Glenwood Springs, Colorado MrAins-.
lie is president of the corporation and
is fine gentleman. He is accom-
panied on this trip by his two me-
chanics. He made exhibition flights
at the ball park last Sunday after
noon that was witnessed by big
crowd. The machine went from here
to Snowflake where day will be
spent, then from there to st. Johns
and Springerville The plane will
return to Winslow and will again fly
at the ball park on Saturday and
January % and %. Let me
give you a tip-take ride, it's great
and is a good chance to ride a real

NEEDLES C OF C is BUSY

The Needles Chamber of Commerce
is preparing to send motor delega-
tion to Barstow, VictOrville and San
Bernardino, to meet with the cham
bers of commerce at those cities and
urge upon them the necessity of get
ting the state highway commission
of California busy upon the project
of the building of the National Old
Trails road across the desert sec
ton of San Bernardino county. Under
the forty million dollar bond issue Of
the state $360,000 is set aside for the
road from Barstow to Needles. An
effort will be made to have this met
with federal aid for like amount.
There is certainly good work for the
Needles chamber to do and if all the
chambers get working together they
will throw some weight into the pro-
position and create an impression
upon the state commission.

IMPROVED
HIGHWAYS
INCREASE IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
Statistics Show Increase of 1.41s a2o
Cars Over 191s-Roads Must
Be Maintained.

Ihat the present interest in the con-
struction of new highways should not
dlvert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved is
a point which the bureau of public
roads, United States department of ag-
rlculture, has had occasion to empha-
size many times in recent months. par
tlcularly in view of the enormous in
crease in motor vehicle traffic which is
taking place. The bureau recently
completed compilation of statistics
from all the states of the Union show
ing that there were a total of 1865. .446
registered motor cars (including motor
cycles and trucks) in the United
States in 1919. This is an increase of
70 per cent, or 1,41S,829 motor cars
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, 1t is pointed
out. and in consequence added atten-
tiOn must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase in the number of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered in the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use of roads and streets
has, of course, been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments in the form of Ii
cense fees which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles, trucks, and motor cycles in
use in 1919 totaled $64697, ,255. .5S-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The
total revenues for New York and Penn

WHAT PER CENT FOR ADVER-
TISING?

A retailer should spent 7 IL per
Ecent Of the total amount Of business
done annually in advertising and for
rental of the store, according to an
official of one Of the largest clothing
"a ctorfes.
This appropriation should apply
whether the store is on one of the
choicest locations on the principal
street, or on a side street.
The dealer on the best street pays
"a higher rent, but on account Of his
favorable situation he finds it neces-
sary to spend less money for adver-
Using; whereas the merchant whose
store is situated on a side street has
to spend more for advertising in or
der to attract people to his place Of
business.
Successful advertising is done on
the budget system: that is, definite
plan Of campaign is drawn up, and
the cost estimated. A specific sum
Of money is apportioned for at least
a years advertising, with little
over for contingencies. AS advertis-
ing has cumulative force, the zeal

system will be delighted with the
steady growth Of his business, long
