OF the hes, gyan rooms
we ever saw, compile
tion. Mr.. Kinney then led the
Procession to the assembly
room where he introduced
speaker of the day, Hosbrook,
who in turn made the boosters
feel proud that he was in their
midst. Prof. Kinney, Mr..
Reed, Mr.. Voris and Mr.. Smith
are very congenial men and no
doubt any one attending that
school could not help being
benefited from the teachings
of such men.
Next on the program was a
rising vote by the boosters to
ascertain whether to visit Dun
lap or not. Everyone stood up.
After a tour of the city in the
automobiles, the merry crowd
started for Dunlap with the
President and Secretary of the
Woodbine Commercial club as
escorts. Dunlap wasn't includ-
ed in the original route, as they
didn't think they could make it
so far away from home and re-
turn. The sixth stop was Dun
lap and we wish to mention
that Dunlap has a good bunch
of entertainers. Of course
they didn't expect us and did
not have any plans laid out but
they were very glad we came
and did their best to entertain
us. After a tour of the city
with the automobiles, the boost
ers turned their machines to-
ward Logan, the last stop. Be-
tween Dunlap and Woodbine, a
chicken was run over, a dog
was hit and small pig killed.
x. x. Huntsinger's was the last
car but everyone swOre he was
the man that did the work.
After a few minutes stop in
Woodbine, to let a fellow get
the number of several ma
chimes, which, he claimed had
scared his mule into the barb
wire fence the boosters pro-
ceeded to Logan.
Six automobiles filled with
Logan merchants from Logan
met the boosters about three
miles out and escorted them to
their city. The merchants of
Logan were quite disappointed
as they had had dinner ready
for the boosters but they get
ting there about four hours
behind time dispelled with the
dinner. However they passed
lemonade and did everything
they could to help the boosters.
Mr.. c. w. Hunt, of Logan,
made a very good speech tell
ing the good the Harrison
county fair does and how the
auto tours of the county drew
the neighboring towns closer
together and lastly said for the
boosters 10 take anything they
wanted, do anything they
wanted and in fact he remark
ed they could turn the town up
side down and the Logan Com
mercial men would stand the
cost. Mr.. Hosbrook was again
called upon to speak and Bates
always has a few things up his
sleeve which he let lose to the
pleasure of the listeners. The
band was short two players at
Logan on account of a punct-
ure to one of the machines near
that CITY, so a few musicians at
Logan filled in and made the
air ring with music.
After more visiting and shak
ing hands the dirtiest but hap.
piest bunch that ever crossed
Harrison County started for
home. The official car which
carried the speaker of the day,
Postmaster General Album, re-
porter of the leading Daily of
Harrison County, the junior
member of the old Clothes
Shop of Mo Valley and race
horse WI. Roden went through
the trip with a perfect score.
Most all the others did the ame
but we thought the official car
deserved special mention. The
committee in Fred Beebee's six
cylinder Mitchell, mot being used
to Kidding faster than an ex-
press train would mention the
fact to Fred every few minutes
that he was going too fast.
