THE STICK-AROUND CLUB
Personal Reminiscences of Old-Timers by One of Them.
Four new members of this famous
organization are enrolled this week,
whose total years aggregate 310, all
four enjoying life and doing their
part in keeping things going. All
lour show the value of labor as a
means of enjoylne a Ion and us.w
ful carreer. The four include a
farmer and fruitgrower, a carpenter
a hod carrier and a blacksmith. It
would be pretty, hard to pick four
younger men who are any more use
ful or happier than these veterans at
the gentle art of staying on the job.

The chief Slick Arounder of the
thirtieth general assembly was Alex
LaFoIlett of Marion county, - going
on 75, hale and hearty, of Falstattian
proportions, well fed and possessed
of Falstaffian humor and punch. Af
ter a few years in California fresh
from Indiana, he came to .Marion
county in 1860 and 1 !U5i got hold
of 310 acres of land in Misiron bot
tom at $10 'an acre which he ?till
cwns and the orchard of which is
worth $500 Ian acre and over. He
has the firsrloKanberry patch plant
ed in Oregon from the original cut
tings bought of Colonel Logan of
California. He has thirty seres in
fruit, mostly peaches that bring him
as high as $1100 an acre. He c'eared
his land from the original stumpage
with Chinese labor at 17 "erts a
day. While he pulls off his coat
and runs his big farm nnd Is the
biggest fruit grower in the county
he has a residence in the city and
has a son who is following, in his
footsteps as a fruitgrower. He first
was sent to legrslature 32 years ago.
and again in 1903, besides a special
session, and two terms in the senate,
with another term to serve. He is
easily the Nestor of Sol on s and a real
solon at that. He virtually leaves
the plow and with the smell of hay
on his clothes, and some lime and
sulphur Jspray, takes hlj seat in the
senate. tHe shaves in regular far

clean clothes on Sunday. The rest

"OST anyone would tiiink that after building
50,000 motor cars on one chassis plan that
close on to perfection would be reached.
That is true in a large measure; but it happens to
be only the point at which the Maxwell executives
began.
They decided to keep on building Maxwells better
and better as each new day went by.
The locomotive engineer drives his engine better
every day. The' banker who loans money does so
with more and more judgment The man at the
forge likewise.
This is the principle on which the Maxwell is built
It-is not new in the business world. But it is sound.
And today, with 300,000 Maxwells built on this
plan, anyone will readily understand
Why a Maxwell runs on and on and never quits with age;
Why a Maxwell seldom turns in at a repair shop;
Why a Maxwell is so eagerly sought for in the second
hand market.
One of the last of more than 1000 im
provements made since the first Maxwell
was built is the appearance.
Let your eyes glance over this present
day Maxwell and you'll think the price'
$200 more than we ask for it
