MAXWELL CAR WON
TWO ECONOMY TESTS
Detroit Car Victor in Contests Con-
Quoted in California and
Virginia

Recent tests for economy in gaso-
line consumption conducted in differ
ent sections of the country show that
the Maxwell car continues to enjoy
superiority in this vital item affecting
the motorists purse.
Within the last month, two import
ant economy contests were conducted,
one in California and the other in
Virginia, and in both of these, the
Maxwell car was victorious, proving
its ability to go farthest on the small
est amount of fuel. Both of these
contests were participated in by a
number of cars of well known make
and both were officially checked.
Wins Government Test
II. p. Jayne, government sealer OF
weights and measures, officially OBJ
served test in the Yosemite Valley,
CAL, recently. Five cars were start
ed from the Commercial Club in
Fresno for the valley, after Mr..
Jayne had sealed the tanks. The
roads were in the worst possible con-
dition. The steep grades were made
doubly hard by having six inches of
dust and the ruts from the heavy
traffic let the cars down frequently to
point where the axles scraped the
road
Arriving in Yosemite valley, Mr..
Jayne broke the seals, and with certi-
fed measures refilled the tanks with
gasoline, also weighing the loads car
ried by the cars, including passengers
and luggage.
The result showed that the Max
well consumed seven gallons of gaso-
line and carried 875 pounds. ITS
nearest competitor used eight and six
tenths gallons and carried only 635
pounds. The third car in the compe-
tition used nine gallons and carried
874 pounds. Two other cars trailed
along. In other words, the Maxwell
carried greater weight than any
other automobile in the contest and
did two miles to the gallon better
than its nearest competitor
More Honors in Richmond
At the Virginia State Fair, held in
Richmond early in October, the Max
well won big economy run in compe-
tition with practically all the four
cylinder cars sold in that city. All of
the contestants were started with
one-half gallon of gasoline IN a spe-
cial tank provided by the fair author
tiles. The Baxwen distanced all COM
petitors by wide margin, covering
thirteen and three-tenths miles on the
half gallon.

FRUIT RAPIDLY
GOING FORWARD
Ocala Packing House Is Open and
Sending Fruit to Market
Steadily

In company with Mr.. A. R. Sand
lin, manager of the Ocala sub-ex-
change, Star reporter had the pleas
ure of visiting the packing house of
the Ocala Citrus Association today
and was well pleased to find that ex-
cellent institution in active operation
The employees were stepping lively
the machinery was singing merry
tune, boxes of the golden fruit were
going into cars on the sidetrack in
front, while long string of empties
stood on the track in the rear.
Eleven cars of fruit have been
shipped since work began last week
four carloads are in the house and at
least eight more will be in this week.
Most of the fruit in the packing
house was of the best quality and
well colored for this time of year.
There was some beautiful grapefruit
from Floral City, the globes being
large, yellow and firm, pretty to see
and evidently excellent to eat.
Mr.. Sandlin said the prospect was
good for more business for the pack
ing house this year than last. 1t will
evidently have all it can handle for
the next five months.

be audited as usual. As much of the
money on hand will be used as the
committee deems advisable for the
purpose of meeting the expenses of
this campaign; certainly the support
of the Democratic candidates when
they are assailed by Independents
and Republicans is necessary to the
proper maintenance of the party or
ganization.
1t was a minority meeting all
right-the eleven votes which Cats
was able to muster on~October 7th
dwindled to two with three proxies
today. Of course it is apparent to
everyone that the so-called meeting
OF the minority committeeman was the
cheapest sort of politics-not intend
ed in good faith to ask for any ac-
counting, but concocted by few men,
bers of the committee who are op-
posing the democratic candidate for
governor, and who have thereby for
feited their right to participate in
affairs of the Democratic party.
