TRALIA, NO, BOYS WILL MAKE
UNIQUE TRIP TO 81. LOUIS.
70 HAVE YOUNG COMPANIONS,
Lads to Make the Journey, 100
Miles to Exposition in
Less Than a
Week



Steve and John Rddy OF CentralIa,
No, IA and II years old, respectively,
haze started on their I20-mile journey
70 st Louis 10 an OK wagon.
The two lads have arranged TO bring
ten or twelve Of their companions
with them. All arrangements have
been made BY the young tourists
for their journey. Each Of the party
viii furnish from his home a part OF
the supplies and cooking utensils that
viii be used by them on their trip. as
they expect TO do their own cooking.
They will sleep in the wagon.
The wagon In which the trip will be
made IS a big. roomy vehicle, covered
with q tarpaulin and a trough attach
ed al the rear from which the oxen
viii eai at night The boys say the
oxen viii eat from the trough only az
night and morning, as they will not
unyoke at noon. :.
For q long time the Rody brothers,
with their yoke OF oxen, which they
reared from calves, have been a fami-
liar sight about the streets Of Gen.
tralia. Everybody in town knows the
two lads and their oxen, prince and
"Jim,p and when The two boys driv-
ing along the streets Of Centralia are
met by acquaintance they are always
hailed with Hello, steye,n "Hello,
Jack, Hello, Prince and jim"
When the boys frst suggested the
trip to their father, Robert Rody,
several weeks ago, they met with a
refusal.
"Why, how can you boys go to st.
Louis in an OF wagon" he inquired.
"Trg US and see," the lads answer
ed, and so persistent we're their ap-
peals that they be allowed to make
the journey that Mr.. Rody finally
consented, with the stipulation that
they take along some grown person
to look after them this gown person
proviso did not appeal to the young
sters, and they have persuaded their
parents to let them undertake the trip
accompanied only by boys their own
age. They count on making the trip
in less then a week, and will live in
their wagon somewhere neal the
Worlds Fair grounds.
