Here is typical case. A group CT
men undertook to promote a vending
or self-serving machine. Their plan
called for the sale of $4,000, 900 worth
of leases in the United States. Similar
projects previously started through
out the United States had failed. AS
matter Of fact, the average daily
sale of one of these self-service ma.
chimes was only $3.10, which in itself
made it impossible for a machine to
produce sufficient revenue to make it
profitable. Servicing the machines
was another obstacle which had not
been successfully overcome. In three
months the promoters were successful
IN selling over $2,500,000 worth of
rights to use these machines.

for the scheme.
How Endless Chain Catches Victims
Here is how it catches it's victims
Each victim pays 81 and receives
three one dollar coupons which she
must sell to her friends, and the
friends must come in and pay down
$4 each, get three coupons each which
they must sell to three friends and
then these friends must perpetuate
the scheme by selling coupons to their
friends and so on indefinitely.
Here is where the promoters make
a cleanup. One of the conditions
which must be met before the young
woman who purchased the first cou.
pons receives her $40 worth OF hose
for 81 Is that all three to whom she
sold her three coupons must come in.
pay down $4 each for three more cou.
pons and then go out and sell them.
Before the three have done this, one OF
perhaps all three get "cold feet" on
the proposition and, rather than go out
and soak" three of their friends 81
each, they simply give up the job and
charge their loss to experience. But
in doing so they also block the girl
who purchased the first coupons from
completing her contract. and of course
she, too, loses the money she invested
in the scheme.
At glance the loss appears to be
SMALL but the truth is the scheme is
capable of such great expansion that
it soon takes in hundreds and thou.
sands OF victims. This is but one of
many endless chain schemes in use
today in the United States.

TOLATEL LAMENTED HALL.
J.. BY HIS WARM FRIEND, DOUGLAS

From far and near the dwellers of
the desert gathered at Salome Sunday
to do honor to their friend and part
ner, Dick Wick HAIL For to his
neighbors, and people living any
where within SO miles of each other
count themselves as neighbors out
there, he was only incidentally the
editor of the Salome Sun, the creator
of the Swimless Frog. the sage of the
desert, the only Arizonan ever to win
international renown. Indeed it is
doubtful if many Of them realized
the magnitude of the fame that had
come to him because his quaint phil
osophy and droll stories made. the
whole world smile. To them he was
just a good scout to whom they went
for a dollar when they needed it, or
for a grubstake when they had a
hunch that this time they would
surely discover the great bonanza
which all of them, including Dick
Wick himself, ever dreamed of find
ing.
And so Sunday they came to drop
their native desert flowers upon the
bier of him whom they all loved. The
population of 10, of which the Salome
Sun so often boasted was for few
hours swollen to unheard of proper
tions. But as Dick would have said,
there's plenty of room at Salome for
everybody; the town was not crowd
ed.
The body arrived on the 6;O5 train
from Los Angeles, where the great
humorist died last Wednesday. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Hall; by
his two children, Dick Wick, Jr., and
Jane; by his brother, Ernest, and sew
eral friends. All Salome, and scores
of neighbors who had already arrived
from other camps, were at the sta
tion to meet the one who, when, he
went away just three weeks ago,

of various simple exercises that any

of each exercise before it was dem
onstrated, pointing out the particular

assured them that he was
rest and when he came back would
be "the best damn man in Arizona"
A little Ford truck which he had
used in his mining operations bore
the body of Dick Wicl1s own Blue
Rock lime, which has a huge picture
of the frog painted upon the. adobe
wall, There it lay in state, surround
ed by wreaths and gorgeous bouquets
from Phoenix and Los Angeles floral
shops. Singly, by twos and threes,
the mourners dropped in, stood silent
a few moments, and moved listlessly
ION.
All morning the friends continued
to arrive in battered flivvers in
wagons, and even on horseback. Rev.
Bertrand r. Cocks of Phoenix arrived
lat II o'clock. Then the casket was
lovingly borne across a hundred yards
of white, g1aring desert sand to the
forlorn little garden beside. the adobe
office where Dick Wick wrote the
Salome Sun every week and set down
the stores for which editors of big
magazines like the Saturday Evening
Post and Red Book were continually
importuning him. 1t is the irony of
fate that this is the first grave in
Salome. In earlier issues of the Sun
the editor frequently lamented Sa-
lome's lack of cemetery and jocu-
larly threatened to start one with his
trusty six-shooter.
There, beneath the China umbrella
trees that the laughing gas man
planted with his own hands twenty
years ago, a grave had been dug.
Surrounding it were great banks of
greasewood, of scarlet ocotillo blooms
and other blossoms plucked from the
bosom of the desert that he loved so
well he refused to leayesit, even after
recognition came and he could live
where he chose.
The pallbearers were Henry Barker,
Mickey Sullivan, Virgil Sanor, Robert
gKeast, Charles Kaufman, NICK Garter,
E. S. Jones and August Nord. All ex-
'cept the last two were pr0spectors
who had worked for Dick Hall, had
been grubstaked by him. Jones and
Nord were old friends and neighbors.
Barker, incidentally, was one of the
three sdiscoverers of the renowned
Glory Hole, the pocket of gold ore.
nine miles northwest of Salome which
first brought that town into the lime
light over twenty years ago.
Stoical old desert rats were these
pallbearefs, and yet tears trickled
down their leather, sunburned faces
as Mr.. Cocks read the simple Epis-
Icopa1 burial service When the wood
en- box had been lowered by ropes
to it's last resting place, they, them
selves shoveled the earth over their
dead comrade.
Its the saddest job O. muckin'
that I ever tackled" gulped Virgil
Sanor.
"And I don't care if he has cashed
van. Hes still the best damn man
lin Arizona"
Today Salome is outwardly the
same as it was a week ago, a month
Iago, year ago. The frog still
|perches serenly by the entrance to
the Blue Rock lime. The comical
signs still stand beside the roadside
across from the Laughing Gas sta
tion. Sa1ome's sinuous form and SIM
ipering smile still proclaim to passing
motorists that they have arrived at
the place "Where She Danced" But
Salome is not the same; nor is the
world quite the same for it has pro.
duced only Dick Wick. Hall and he
has gone farther west.
