SHOULD CAMPERS PAY?
Investigation Shows That the
Real Pay Camp Sites Favor
Better Class of Travellers

Many years ago almost every
city, village and hamlet opened up
free camp sites for summer travel
ers. At that time it was thought
to be real paying investment and
necessary to keep the auto tourist
in the community. After thorough
tests the free camp grounds have
been found to be detrimental, for
the reason that whole families
would take advantage of the free"
portion Of the public's generosity
and become a generally
staying in one spot all summer and
doing no good to anyone. The
Amigo Journal believes like the
News that the pay" grounds are
the ones that seek for better and
cleaner tourists, and states as fol-
lows:
The idea Of the supervised camp
site is becoming more popular
throughout the country and many
cities are planning on providing
such camp sites during the coming
summer. The city of Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, which expects at least
5000 camp site visitors next sum-
mer, is going to introduce a little
different method of charging from
what has been practised. The
charge for one night will be fifty
cents, but you can stay week
without paying any extra charge.
This is intended to encourage the
tourist to make a longer stay. And
it isn't bad idea. If you can get
them to remain more than one
night it will mean some business
for the local merchants and like
wise give the party an opportunity
to see what advantages that par
ticular community has.
Arrangements should be made in
Amigo for a supervised camp site
next summer. We have been talk
ing about it for a long time, but
thus for nothing definite has been
done. In order to give 1T official
significance and be a permanent
institution, it should be undertaken
by the city. And it wouldn't need
to cost the city anything. To make
a regular charge Of fifty cents
would bring in more than enough
revenue to pay the supervisor
salary and such other expenses as
would be incurred in the conduct
of such camp site.
There used to be just a little
criticism Of the fee camp sites but
that has been changed and the
tourists are actually inquiring for
the pay sites for they know when
they get there that they will be
able to get those conveniences OF
necessities that they are looking
for. The matter should, we believe
be given consideration by the coun-
Gil so that everything will be in
readiness when the season opens

Sweet Clover is Important.

Once regarded as a wayside weed,
sweet clover has taken an impor-
tant place in Wisconsin livestock
agriculture, R. A. Moore of the ex-
tension service of the state college
of agriculture said in telling of its
advantages as feed.
Owing to its great drought re-
sistance, biennial sweet clover pro-
duces a most abundant and succu-
lent growth during the dry season.
He said, Cows on sweet clover pro-
duce an excellent milk flow and for
growing calves It has achieved a
great reputation" Mr.. Moore and
L. F. GRADER of the extension ser
vice, have prepared a bulletin tell
ing farmers how to grow the pas
ture crop.

Federal Motor Truck
Celebrates 18th Year

The Federal Motor Truck Com
pany, of Detroit, is celebrating its
fifteenth anniversary. Organized in
February, 1910, this company enjoys
the unique distinction Of never hay
ing experienced a losing year from a
financial standpoint. Its original
capital of $4,000 has grown to So
100000 without refinancing or re-
organizing.
Still another remarkable distinc
ton is the fact that Martin l..
Pulcher, its founder. is still president
and general manager and that its
board of directors has remained the
same throughout its entire history.
OF vigorous personality and keen
business acumen, Mr.. Pulcher has
constantly manifested unbounded en-
thusiaSm for motorized transporta-
ton, and because of this enthusiasm,
he has brought his company up to 4
position among the Big Four" of the
motor truck industry.
1t was Mr.. Pulcher who personally
sold and delivered the first Federal

truck. There are many of his
friends who declare that he actually
built it with his own hands. In
those days the motor truck was
looked upon with skepticism by
transportation men and merchants.
Nevertheless the sheer force of Mr..
Pitchers optimism and faith in the
motor truck served to break down
these doubts, with the result that the
motor truck in recent years has be-
come one of the greatest factors in
the development of highway trans
portation throughout the world.
In his effort to build motor trucks
to fit the needs of every business,
Mr.. Pu!cher announced last June the
creation of the Federal knight. com
bining the strength of the Federal
chassis with the long life of the
WHY'S knight valve engine.
Within eight months time 5000 of
these were sold and hundreds of new
dealers, sensing the opportunities Of
fered by the sale of this truck, &C
quired Federal truck sales franchises.
During the fifteen years of its
history, the Federal Motor Truck
Company has built more than $780,
100000 worth of commercial vehicles.

American Close Car
Captures British Market

The modern type of American
quality closed car is capturing the
British market according to reports
to the Paige Detroit Motor Car
Company from its London branch.
Up to this season, at least 80 per
cent of the shipments to Great
Britain were open cars or "tourers"
is our British cousins call them.
Orders for Jewett cars since July
1st for shipment into Great Britain
have called for over 60 per cent clos
ed cars. The biggest demand has
been for the four-door type sedan of
top quality and q lesser demand for
the cars equipped with two-door
bodies. according to Paige officials.
The British have quite evidently
adopted the closed carriage" says
Mr.. ii. NJ. JcWctt in commenting on
this report. Like the American
public they have discovered that a
closed car with ample power per-
forms just as we'll on tour as an
open one and is more comfortable
under all weather conditions"

The Ideal Motor Car
By ERWIN GREER
by Irwin SNEER
president Greer College Of Automotivs

president Greer College Of Automotivs
Engineering. Chicago)
1t goes without saying that the
ideal automobile should be noise
less, free from vibration, power
full, of simple, sturdy construction,
with few moving parts to get out
of order and require attention, and
with friction reduced to a mini
mum. 1t should be easily operated,
flexible, capable of rapid accelera-
ton, quick stopping, ready at
moments notice, free from me-
chanical and other complications,
theft-proof, clean, roomy and COM
Portable. Most important Of all,
it must be practical, reliable, serv-
iceable and economical. In ap-
pearance it should be so distinctive
and attractive as to cause that just
pride that comes with ownership
Of really fine car. The body work
should be typical of the best tradi-
tons of the coach-builder's art. In
brief, it should be right in every
detail.
The reason for the high favor
with which the closed type of auto
mobile is regarded seems obvious.
The we'll built closed car affords,
in summer and winter, greater
measure of comfort than is possible
in the open type of vehicle. With
windows lowered, the touring Sc
dan or coupe becomes an open car,
providing protection from dust,
rain storms and other summer dis
turbances. In the winter months,
with windows closed and equipped
with a heater, the sedan or coupe
always is comfortable. And COM
fort, after all, is the factor that
most appeals to the present-day
motor-car owner.
What will the final equipment
Of automobiles be? This is the
question that is brought up almost
every time several motor-car own
ers get together for a few minutes
chat on what their car can do.
When the electric lighting and
starting was installed, it was
thought the last word had been
heard, for these improvements
overshadowed all the previous ones
that had beca made. But competi-
ton forced manufacturers to try
and add new features, and the sue
ceeding years found further ad-
ditions, until today a car is sold
with practically everything that is
designed for efficiency and COM
fort.
Correct form in driving means
minimum drain on the pocketbook.
Velvety stops and starts prevent
unusual strains on the engine,
clutch, transmission, axles and
tires. They also cut down the con-
sumption Of gasoline and oil. A
we'll made engine, like a Swiss
watch, is a sensitive thing. It
resents abuse, but responds will
ingly and capably to gentle hand
ling.

Look to Motor Design
For Saving in Gas

| (By L. A. DeWaters, Chief En-
| gineer Buick Motor Company.
/ By observing certain rules and
precautions it is possible for drivers
of cars to save considerable
amount of gasoline.
Economy in gasoline consumption
| naturally starts with the design of
| the motor car. SO the first thing to
do is to make sure the car you
| drive has a motor so constructed as
| to get the most power out of every
quart of gasoline. You can't get
| economy from a wastful motor.
Great progress has been made in
| the past few years in carburetion
and intake manifold construction,
| and it is an actual fact that some
| cars of today get a far better gaso-
| line mileage on low grade gasoline
| than cars of ten or fifteen years ago
achieved on high test gasoline.
In addition to improvements in the
| carburetor, itself, the old choker
wire that was pulled out while
| cranhing the car, has been developed
into a dash adjustment for the
carburetor.
7 Probably every driver knows the
principle under which the spark is
regulated 10 the speed of the motor,
but many of them fail to apply their
| Knowledge i'll all cases. In some
cases the spark is automatically ad
vanced or retarded with the change
! in speeds of the. motor. and this is
as it should be.
The spark in the motor should
| take place at the completion OF the
compression stroke on the upward
| travel Of the piston. 50 that the
charge may be ignited at the instant
| the piston is starting on its down
ward travel.
When the motor is travelling at a
good rate Of speed the spark should
| tGko place slightly before the piston
reaches the top of its stroke, be-
cause a certain instant of time is
required for the charge to ignite and
expand. and the finished driver. who
| is driving q car in which the spark
| is not automatically advanced or re-
| tarded. will take advantage of this
instant by advancing his spark lever
to the point where he secures the
| most power and efficiency from the
gasoline. AS soon as the motor
slows down he will retard the spark
sufficiently to take care Of the re-
| duced speed.
Avoid opening the throttle sud
denly while the motor is running.
This practice is wastful because it
introduces a larger charge Of
mixture than the motor can accom-
modate at that speed. Gradually
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-03-21

opening the throttle permits the
meteor to accelerate normally, and
converts all the gasoline into power.
This explains why one driver can
drive a car up a hill in high gear,
while another driver, with the same
car, will fail to make the same hill
on high. The first driver increases
his speed gradually, while the sec
ond attempts to rush the hill,
Ct Ckcs his motor with an over-rich
II ixture and must then shift to sec
ond to work off the excess fuel.
The owner who puts these sugges-
tons into practice Will get results
that will be eminently satisfactory to
him

seldom able to learn the true facts concerning a property or it's probable value. In most cases the promoters themselves possess little accurate know ledge of the mineral possibili- ties of the properties they seek to exploit aside from what may be gleaned from the presence of mineral exposures and as- says therefrom. Hence the in- formation they give to the pub lie is usually more theoretical than accurate. The public has come to realize this fact and, have 50 often seen the glow ing promises develop into dis nal failures they are naturally skeptical of all mining ven lures.
 Mir. Townsend very sensibly concludes that this attitude could be changed by the adoption of the English system of having competent mining engineers pass upon the mer- its of a property before stock is sold.
 MT. Townsend said: "In Eng land mining shares start at par and go to premium if the vent ure is a success. He declared different methods were "one of the reasons for the decline in interest in mining in Seattle since the Klondike days. There is no doubt there is a great mining country lying at our doors. Great mines developed in Alaska and British Colum- bia, prove this but in getting our industry before the public we must carefully separate facts from hopes.

The time has come, to para phrase the Walrus, to talk of many things, especially of house-cleaning and gardening. It's an old joke with men, and one which they always depend upon to get them a good laugh, that women are never happier than when they are cleaning house. It is just as traditional that when Father pulls this joke, Mother must flare up and tell him just how much fun" house-cleaning really isn't.
 But whether it is fun or whether it is not, there never was q woman who didn't feel all happy and contented inside when the rugs were all clean and the windows were bright and all the old newspapers had been thrown away. There is something in the good clean air of spring which makes one hate the winter dust in rugs and curtains, and the mist which will gather on the win doWs.
 And it is these very annual sprees which make our homes the delightful things they are. To really love a home one must work with it, although it would be a highly idealized saint who would have true thoughts of love for anything while she was in the midst of house. cleaning. The love for the home comes later when the. ache is gone from her back and the stiffness from her knees.
 So to make our habitations real homes, Mother must have her annual spring upheaval and the result is HOME.

 Shall women swear? On the other hand an anti-swearer comes across with this com polling argument. Ut just won't do at all because it dis torts the face. Cussing must be done forcibly, to be effective, This hardens the mouth, wrinkles the brow and brings on premature age. An angry face is never beautiful. Men have used strong language since the beginning of time. That is why there are so few god looking men. "That should settle the question. On the face of it the negative wins. A rep resentative of the swearing sex can only offer, as a clincher, this modest addendum to the argument: with all mems swearing, at life, at fate, for tune, accident, misery, women and things in general, what has it got them?"
Hyder weekly herald., 1925-05-06

Harry M. Townsend, Se- at+le mining engineer, recently voiced the opinion that the dis trustfrl attitude of many American and Canadian iIl- ve3tors toward mining projects is due more to the generally dubious character of the in- formation at their disposal concerning them than to a dis trust of mining ventures. Tn other words, the average min ing investor has no opportun- itv to secure information ex- cept' from the promoters.
 Needless to say this variety of information is usually not of R character in which the in- vestor may place his trust. The promoter may be honest enough but at the same time, 1t is human nature to present the roseate side of things and
 to eliminate the undesirable clements which may tend to limit faith in his venture. Thus it is that the small investor is
