TENT COLONIES.

Florida towns are attempting to
work out the housing problem this
winter by organizing tent colonies, to
take care of some of the motorists who
come to the state to spend the win
ter season. Down in Lake county, at
Leesburg, a Tent City Association has
ben formed. and an effort is being
made to have at least fifty tent
houses furnished, to aid in taking
care of the tourists who are expected
in that county this winter.
Such colonies have been found prac-
ticable in California, and the rental
of such places has been fixed at Cor
onado Beach, as follows:

Reapinq the WhirIwind.

The senior Senator from Georgia is
reaping what he sowed. Reports from
all sections of the state indicate that
his following is less now even than it
was in the i1-advised race he ran in
the presidential preference primary.
The Senator is man of parts, of abil-
ity, of power, but one lesson he has
failed to learn, apparently, that one
cannot serve two masters, that sowing
the wind will yield a whirlwind, that
running with both the hounds and the
hares doesn't get anywhere. He has
failed to see that the people finally find
out duplicity and doubled dealing and
spot the straddIer, that they know his
record despite what he may say when
asking for further honors at the hands
of the people he failed to represent.
As, in Chiide Harold, Byron said:
The thorns which I have reaped are
of the tree
1 planted-they have torn me-and
bleed!
1 should have know what fruit would
spring from such seed.
Mr.. Smith has professed great in
terest in the farmer and in things
agricultural. The fundamental lesson
ne talIed TO grasp TOT MS own pO1Ilcal
good has been that what a man sows
that shall he also reap, ana these
days, if he shall have a moment for
recalling the classics he probably
completes the quotation
l have been cunning in my overthrow,
The careful pilot of my proper wee.
The senior senator cannot blame
President Wilson for the predicament
he is in; he cannot charge It to Wat
SON or Hardwick: he cannot lay it st
the door of other leaders, Democratic
leaders in Georgia: he cannot COM
plain at the people who trusted him
ilong-and found him out. He planted
the horns himself and was cunning to
his own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News.

Revelations

The State of North Carolina went

On a monthly basis for the average
| season each tent occupied for five
months, with an average of four peo-
pie, would BRING in revenue of 5000.
AT least one family in Pensacola is
| living comfortably in a tent home At
| the beginning of the world war; a tent
| was put upon their property as a
temporary venture, with the intention
to build in a short time. But the
tent was roomy and cmofortable, the
family spent some healthful and happy
months in the open, and were COM
Portable in the most severe weather.
Now, at the end of nearly six years,
they are still in their tent home,
though the house has been strngth-
ened with flooring and partial siding,
such as is customary IN the tent COL
onies of California and South Florida.
The tent houses are becoming more
and more popular all over the coun-
try, and offer one way to care for
tourists which seems to be working
out in satisfactory manner.
In providing for a free motor camp
proper sanitary methods must be in
stalled. Otherwise the camp becomes
nuisance and a menace. In New
York state at present the state board
of health is appalled, at sanitary con-
ditions at summer camps for boys and
girls and other institutions charging
high rentals for the use of the tents
and equipment. They find that 60 per
cent Of the camps should be con-
demned and are condemning them.
Therefore, camps should be connected
with modern cess pools, and provision
made for Stops, rubbish etc. Provi-
sion should be made for cooking, and
camp fires and this can be done by
organizing the camp with a manager
among the all-the-season guests, who
will buy and sell fuel, and police the
camp. The rules governing the camps
within a city should be a city ordi-
nance, so there would be no dispute
as to location, cost of fuel, cost of use
of LABORATORY, etc. practically making
the camp self sustaining, and yet the
cost nominal.

Company Opens

leave Stayton on account Of his wifs's
health. the Valley Motor company las
! grasped the opportunity to open a
Ford branch which they propose TO
operate with lee per cent Ford pro-
ducts. Stayton is now assured of Ford
and Fordson home second to none in
the state where every Ford owner can
secure genuine Ford parts and reliable
auto accessories. A complete stock Of
Goodyear and Portage tires will te
carried.
Luther Stout, who will be the mann
ger, is an old resident of Stayton end
for sometime has occupied a respon-
sible position as one of the heads OF
the sales force of the Valley Motor
company. Norman Kennedy, vino Will
have charge of the shop and seri1ce
work, is a young man well fitted and
qualified for such responsibilities. He
has most creditably filled the position
of assistant shop mechanic for Wick
Bros, and later with the Valley NotOt
company. Robert Perlieh, the ROAD
salesman, needs no introduction, haV-
ing been closely identified with the
motor trade for years and numbers
his friends by legion.
The Valley Motor company has leas-
ed the Peter Diedrieh building for a
number of years and will remodel ;he

has already been received and is ready
to install. The entrance of the Valley

Of the Valley Motor company includes

MAXWELL MOTOR BIG
FACTOR OF SUCCESS

Maxwell engineers, studying way,
I'm which to improve the postwar car
found several score improvements
which have added to the durability,
strength and beauty of the machine.
Some of these improvements are
minor and some ore of first Import
ance.
The famous Maxwell power plant
has four cylinders. with a detachable
head. The valves are large, and yet
not SO large as to bring the danger
of warping. The stroke is long, but not
abnormally so. The crankshaft is big.
the valves are inclosed and the motor
is quiet and powerful in operation.
The addition Of the rams horn and
hot spot, which are features on the
1929 model, gives that complete con-
troll over fuel consumption which can
not be found in the Maxweh's Of for
mer years.
The Maxwell motor has made
name for itself through six years ana
in the hands Of several hundred thous-
and drivers.
This same motor drove a Maxwell
car so fast that 1t beat the fastest
Pacific train between San
Francisco and Los Angeles seven
nights in succession.
1t has hung up long list of records
and Maxwell owners were tonsur-
prised when factory engineers declared
they could make no great improve
ments to it.
