 For all his presence, you will do well not to get in over the tops of your waders, particularly in "heavy" water. If it be SD heavy that you can not negotiate it properly by wading, you will. of course, have recourse to | boat or canoe.

with this idea in view. I decided
10 repeat a test I made some years ago

used the ordinary stock Chalmers six

been in daily use for four months and
is one Of the best cars I have ever
driven.

The large number Of motor cars in

lthan in any other section Of the coun-
