WANTS STUDENT SUMMER CAMP

WATERFOWL Herald.-At the annual
weekly meeting Of the city commission
last Monday night VIM. Cochrane, as
sistant city engineer, brouP't before
the commission a plan which may bear
fruit. Mr.. Cocrane states that while
he was in college his department an
nually instituted a summer camp in
which the students secured much valu-
able information about the lakes,
streams, etc, of the state, and he
thought it would be possible to interest
the civil engineering body of the State
College to institute a similar camp at
Lake Kampeska. Aside from the fact
that the students are enabled to secure
a lot of valuable information it would
also serve as a fine outing for the boys.
A survey of the lake would have to
be made, and after discussing the pro-
position for some time the commits
sioners instructed Mr.. Cochrane to
communicate with the engineering de-
partment at Brookings and see if they
might become interested in the mat
ter. Mr.. Cochrane will make a report
at a future meeting.

"PAY AS you RIDE"

Acting on the sound principle that

be- generally sold on the same basis
as pianos, real estate and other com
mOdities of value, +. G.. Fryer, the
local Maxwell representative, an
nOunces in this issue a time-paym mt
plan by which the prospective motor
Is Of this city and vicinity can Sc
cure Maxwell cars without any appre-
ciable encroachment on their financial
resources and Investments.
Pay as you Ride" is the concise
way in which Mr.. Fryer summarizes
the details of the plan.
Modern conditions often demand
that a man make use of his profes-
sional equipment" declares Mr.. Fryer.
"Olten, even the relatively small
amount needed to pay the c~ash-down
price of even a Maxwell automobile is
large enough to keep him from taking
his money from the channels in which
it is at work.
The automobile business must rec
ognize this condition. | have worked
out a plan which | am putting into
effect here, for the benefit Of my Gus
toners who may be so situated.
This plan enables the man of aver
age means to buy a car and enjoy it
while he is paying for it, and enables
him. as well, TO pay for it out Of his
regular income. This plan | am put
ting at work today. 1t will be eligible

schedule calls for more Maxwell ears
than have ever been delivered here IN
