FORD CARAVAN
DUE AT SALEM
NEXT FRIDAY

dous development of the automobile
industry in recent years, the Ford
and Fordson power exposition. now

Determined to bring to the very
door Of every citizen an opportun-
Iity to witness most unusual en-
terprise, and to do this without cost
to the public, officials Of the Ford
Motor company, through the Port
land branch, hit upon the idea of
utilizing trucks and tractors with
which to show by actual demonstra-
tion, the phenomenal strides in
power farming, commercial and in
dustrial operations during the past
few years. The plan would not
have been feasible but for the CO.
operation Of some hundred Ford,
Fordson and Lincoln dealers
throughout Portland territory, and
the aid Of a dozen or more of
Americas foremost manufacturers
of industrial equipment who are
represented in the present. tour.
1000 Mile Tour
A similar tour, embracing about
one thousand miles, was successful
ly conducted in Western Washington
a year ago by w. II. Goodwin, now
Of the Ford Motor com
pany's Portland branch. But in
stead of only one thousand miles,
the present caravan will cover four
thousand miles of territory In Ore
gon and a portion of Washington
along the Columbia river. The cara
van consists of twenty six units,
each under its own power and car
rying or hauling about rs addi-
.ional pieces of equipment. A Del
,lo lighting system provides IL
umination for series of evening
including free movie
show and q radio concert. Innum-
orable stunts feature each program,
lay and night, and the show is said
% be educational, interesting and
in the extreme.

But he lifted and carried me as easily
as it had been a 2-year- old child.
I felt an overweening anxiety TO

word while he was carrying me, but I
had an lntuitive conviction that he
was the man who had suggested my
death, and whom the ferret-faced
youth had derisively addressed as
Grandpa"
But for a long moment after he had
laid me down there was silence in the
room, save for my own heavy breath
ing. I felt that both he and Nine.
Hofer were looking at me intently, and
