HOW SENATOR .McNARY VOTKD.
(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

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.
