(United Press.) ' ;: O'.mp Lewis, Tncoina, Wash., Oct. 13. In amount of mail handled, the Camp Lewis postoffice is one of the largest in the state of Washington. With 35,000 men in training, an av erage of one letter a day is mailo- daily by each one. The incoming mail is probably even greater. Monday is the busiest day in thr camp postoffice, as most of the men write a few letters Sundays. Last Monday 55,600 letters were mailed. Two motor trucks from the Quar. tcrmnstcrs Department are kept busy hauling the mail to the regiment head quarters. Although the present post office building is twice as large as the one originally planned for the canton ment, it is overcrowded and nrlditiona' room will probably have to be provid ed when all the 50,000 men arrive. Dogs arc, of course, the most popu-lc- company mascot in the camp. However, one company has a monkey? another broutrht a cow to camp and a fawn, a turtle and a bantam cock are her'1 as pei. Hut the Montana bui't'h which brought a rattlesnake claims the prize. In supporting the passage in the Senate of the 2,000, 000,000 revenue bill, Senator -UcNary, f Oregon, made it plain that he did so because a war cannot be fought with out money, .vet Imping that a greater proportion of the money could be collected from those colossal institutions I I 58 W TkiV, I a JML J.YJL 3 M. TRACTORS SAMSON SIEVE-GRIPS IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES. Original Ideas developed through experience and necessity are embodied in Samson Sieve-Grip Tractors, You will find features there not thought of by others. Recently we have secured letters patent on the method of con necting the air breather of a gas engine crank case to our patent ed NODUST-MOISTO-RIZER. This will be another exclusive feature in Samson Sieve-Gripe Tractors or otherwise an in fringement if used by others. The close connection of our management, being direct in touch with the actual operation, wants and requirements proving to be necessary in the small sine farm tractor, we attribute largely to the success of the Samson Sieve-Grip. It is our aim to manufacture a ono hundred per cent efficiency tractor, sold at a right price, and give service that secures satis fied customers.

MAXWELL OWNERS ARE AWARDED LIBERTY BONDS In the recent contest staged by the Maxwell Motor Company in a Nation wide gasoline economy test, over 10 Maxwell owners on the Const were awarded Liberty Bonds ranging from WO to $2(10 as a reward for their ef forts in establishing some new high marks in gasoline economy. In San Bernardino several Max well owners received S200 Liberty Bonds, one owner making 49.5 miles to a single gallon of gasoline, togeth er with 12 other entrants who made a total average of 39.7 miles to the gallon. The highest mileage record ed was made in Atlanta, Ga., where one owner made 51.9 miles. Out of 2000 competitors the grand average ' was 22.7 miles to the gallon and is i considered remarkable in view of the ; fact that no special adjustments were ! permissable and each owner was com. I pelled to drive his own car. Numerous contests of a like nnfnre ! j will be arranged from time to time : and many owners are seeking infor-1 mation concerning exact dates of the their former high marks. 10-13-17.
