L. Menzel and family, who ac companied by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hes ter, have just completed a 3.1(H) mile motor trip from Independence, la., de clare that their trip was wonderful, in that the journey the entire distance, until they arrived at lirain, was with out rain. Spending a month en route, the party took the Lincoln Highway into Nevada and traveled thence to California. Mr. Menzel owns a young orchard in the Snowden district of Klickitat county, Washington. He ex pects to reside here, however, for the next year, in order that his children may attend school. ''Our trip was wonderful in another respcet," says Mr. Wenzel. "Not once were we refused camping privileges by ranchers or farmers on our way. We were welcomed with a hospitality that was cheering. The automobile park, we find, has become an established in stitution in western towns. We will hold in pleasant remembrance some of the eonvenineces of these municipal paiks. The first of any pretension that we arrived at was at Tonapah, Nev., but none at any point was more com modious and inviting than that of Ash land." Clark Praises Hood Growers Y. F.
