The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1925-8-13, Page 2• u (QmObi BEWA.RB OP TOO MUCH LU Before the automobile industry changed our mode of life radically, the idea of 'going camping wasenot in- dulged in by any great proportion of our population. Camping then in - Volved worlds of preparation and num- "orous other problems, The motor ve- hicle has changed all that. Now al - Meet everybody contemplates a camp- ing experience and most folks use their automobiles in one way or an other in the process of enjoying the great out-of-doors. To prepare for camping via auto- mobile involves no, great outlay of time or expense. There are just a few simple facts to consider to be prepared when going on tour. A little exper- ience makes one thing plain; the camper must first of all consider the model of his car and then select his outfit with reference to it. A. live - passenger car with a light outfit, two or three fewer passengers than there is room for, and nothing on board that is not absolutely necessary, represents a sort of ideal to be striven for. Make a tentative list of articles one proposes t.e take and then weigh the value of eh one of"thein in service before i.:.apleting the finai''list.; A faili:ig of many campers. is to take too much outfit. When camp is to be made every night and broken every morning equipment should be easy to handle. Some outfits take hours to set up and as long to take down and pack away in the morning. They make work out of camping in- stead of recreation. A tent should weigh not more than thirty pounds, Every detail of camp mating, from pitching the tent or making the beds or handling the food containers, building the fires and pre-_ paring the meals, should be easily within the strength of every member of the party. DINING ROOM SHELTERED. One of the favorite forms of tent provides a shelter dining room under the extension. In stormy waether this protection will be welcomed, as one can set up a gasoline stove and con- tinue operations. Look for a tent with a sewed -in floor and provision for keeping mosquitoes. out " Blankets are essentials, but many campers dispense'with a cot and sleep on the sewed -in tent floor. If this is done, spread a rain -proof protection under your blankets. Camping creates a taste for simple foodsand, since there are stores along the main routes, it Is seldom worth while to carry food supplies for more GOAGE IN CAP. CAMPING. than a couple of days unless one is going into an uninhabited region. Meals in camp can be made as good as Meats at home, You can use the fireplace and firewood provided at meatpark camp sites or you can carry - a folding gasoline stove, aa, folding grid, or agrubstake The tourist who goes• by auto fully prepared for eirergencies, however, is seldom out of 'luck. A little breakdown of one kind or another will not incon- venience him greatly. Bad weather will not impede his progress. In fact there is nothing that is liable to pre- vent him proceeding happily on his way. The speedster knows little about the pleasure of touring, nor does the fel- low who is always worrying lest he may not arrive at a certain point at exactly a certain time. Such a person spends so much time pursuieg the maps of the roads or watching his clock that the beauties of nature lav- ishly provided for. him to see are entirely lost. The man who is starting out for , a tour witha new car which has been. tried out enough to be sure that it is in condition need only know he has with him the 'things most likely to be needed in an emergency. But if the car has been in service for several months or more he ought to give it a careful inspection before starting. In fact, after the owner has done what he is able to do by way of a thorough going over of the machine he can con- firm any suspicions he may have as to mechanical infirmities by taking the machine to a good service station. REFILLING GEAR OASES. One of the things toattend to is the refilling of the gear cases. Both the transmission and the differential cases should be drained of all oil and wash- ed ashed out carefully with kerosene. At the same time the gears should be exam- ined closely to see if they are not in. good shape. When cleaned the cases should be refilled with the proper amount of new lubricant. The crank case of the engine should be drained and cleaned out with kero- sene, and fresh oil should be put in. If the oiling system is working proper- ly it is best to let it alone except to see that it is well filled with the epi c per quality of lubricant. Of course the, grease cups should be filled with the proper quality of lubri- cant andall f points which are lubri- cated with oil from a squirt can should be taken care of. AU the wheel bear. lugs should be examined to determine their condition and to see that they are properly lubricated.. Canadian Towns Indulge in Rodeos and Round -Ups All Canada, from the St. Lawrence Fest to the Pacific, has gone "stem- ). ode cracy." Rodeos, frontier -day celebrations and spectacular round -ups are the order of the day, writes an Ed- monton correspondent. Every town and. hamlet in the west- ern half of the dominion 'dignified by a name and a dot on the map at some time during the summer months holds a stampede where the local tallent as- sembles to try for championship hon- ors in. the saddle with rope or string of relay horses. Outlaw horses for these contests are at a premium and the prices paid for equine "bad actors" is something al- most unbelievable. The fortunate ranc'nman owning a real, dyed-in-the- wool buzzard headed owtlaiw, a sure, fancy bucker andone guaranteed to make the crack bronc riders show their best stuff cannot be bought under $4,000 or -5,000; $100, $200 and $300 a • day for the use of such a four -footed terror is the usual lease price. Time was, not so long ago, that a spoiled horse, an animal known to be an incurable bucker, was referred to by his owner as "that worthless out= lamed son -of -a -gun," and was traded off for a $4 dog or led out and shot. With the present demand for "siinfishers," worm -fence backers, end swappers and other fancysteppers, the owner of such an "onery fantail" bestows upon that outlawed one the same care with which a racehorse is surrounded: When being prepared for a stampede or rodeo they are trained and exer- cised as regularly as a race horse, be - and feel the noose of a lariat circle about their necks they know what is coming and they start their stuff! They rear, plunge, buck and fall over backward in attempts to prevent the indignity of saddling. And when the nervy broncho'twister "forks" his mount, throws in the spurs, or gut - hooks, that wise fourfooted package of dynamite lets out a squeal of rage, and tucking head between front feet soars into the aiie in a perfect frenzy of bucking. surest investment. "The man who puts $10,000 addition- al dditional capital into an established business is pretty certain of increased returns; and in the same way, the man who puts additional capital into -his brains —information, well -directed thought, and a study of possibilities—will as surely. yes, more surely, get increased returns. There is no capital, and no increase of capital, safer and surer than that."—Marshall Field" ,� R `'' ,,QL in S M i^ 131- ®A AP5®.. 5 T H A Al b•", PURSE•: T 13 CY'.ju.46AWJ©-^i S Tea' ®IM Ci® pg, .
