Distributors for BASS-HUETER PAINT COMPANY, San Francisco J3 fMaxiirell Good looks, plenty of comfort and convenience and ample room for five adults make the Maxwell Touring model the ideal car for family use. The popularity of this pleasure car alone, during the past five seasons, would have enahled the Maxwell Motor Company to attain a volume production such as few motor car companies achieve with an entire line. Five years of intensive manufacture have developed the Maxwell chassis remarkably, and the efforts of the past year to enhance the car's appearance have borne good fruit. The Touring Car appears this season with a new body. It is just a little more roomy than its predecessors more space in the tonneau and more clearance and leg room in the driving compartment. This naturally followed as a result of lengthening the chassis several inches. A FULL LINE OF UNITED STATES TIRES IN STOCK L. E. FOUST MOSIER. Mr. and Mrs. R. L.

One grower took J4.80O worth otf of seven acres in three crops. The potatoes grown here i are eagerly sought after by seed men. The largest and finest strawberry j field in the northwest is on this soil-- j 61 acres. The berries brought 5.33 ; last season per crate. The finest alfalfa hay, apples, pears and vegetables grow in this section. the heads of the Agricultural Ex periment station in Hood River bought a pear orchard in the Dee section a few years ago and their profits were so great they bought another tract this year.

The cheapest irrigation water we know of anywhere in the northwest covers this tract of logged-otf land. You can get water for $3. 5 per inch if paid before June 30 of the current year, and you do not have to buy stock in the farmers' company or pay for any privileges, or bond your property.
