Two RAPID AUTOMOBILES
FROM michigan TO DAYTONA.
TWO BUSES. MAKING LONG TRIP
FROM TRAVERSE CITY, MICH
TO pAYToNA, ARRIVED MON
DAY AFTERNOON.

Two rapid auto buses, Of thirty
horsepower, owned by E. A. Hub
bard, reached this city shortly after
noon. Monday, completing long and
Interesting trip from Traverse City,
Mich.
The party making the trip consist
ed of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Hubbard,
AIR. and Mrs. ]. J. Mckenzie and
daughter, Miss Rose, and Mr.. and
Mrs Samuel McNeely, although Mrs.
McNeely did not complete the trip
90 Daytona, but missed seeing the
prettiest city in Florida by stopping
eff at Jacksonville, where Mr.. Nc
Nicely expects to join her after an
inspection of the st. Cloud district
The party left Traverse City about
November first, but not more than
half the time, Mr.. Hubbard says
was actually consumed in travel, as
they made frequent and often quite
lengthy stops. They found the roads
comparatively good from Northern In
LLAMA to Macon Ga, Mr.. Hubbard
says the Florida roads are very much
better than those in Southern Georgia
They entered Kentucky at Louisville
and kept a course west of the noun
tains, finding the roads pretty rough,
but more than compensated for by the
excellent roads this route gave them
through Tennessee. They stopped at
Mammouth Cave, KY, and explored
that celebrated subteranean wonder
place.
; Their route carried them by way of
Nashville. Tenn, Huntsville, Ala, At
lanta, Macon, Waycross, Ca, crossing
the st. Johns river at Kings Fer
~ and then into Florida; following
the East Coast route from Jackson
vile to st. Augustine and Daytona.
The party carried with them nee
essary camp equipage and slept in
the cars, thus being entirely indie
pendent of hotel accommodations
along the way.
The cars using solid tires saved ]
them all trouble from punctures and
they had very few other mishaps,
most Of them being matters which /
Mr. Hubbard, who is a good mechan-
&c, could himself remedy.
Mrs Hubbard stated that they had
been well received all along the way
and had no startling adventures of
RnS kind although occasional accidents
Ihss.Tped to eniiven the trip and kept
IL from being altogether too tame.
The weather was fairly good through
out the trip, though they met, Of
course, with occasional rains on the
way.
An account of the trip in detail,
viii appear In the Motor Era, of At
lanta, Georgia.
Mr.. Hubbard is as yet undecided
as to whether they viii remain in
the city or go elsewhere for the sea-
son.

viands, the work was again en-

the morning this was finished
l shall not tell you for there was
no one present who dared to look
a time piece in the face. Suffice
it to say that the visiting broth
ers arrived in M Meade in time for
breakfast. This event marks a
mile stone in the work of the
order in this country and was
withal very pleasant. Il h e

work for their progressive town

getic young business men the

More Hogs Needed.

With shortage of several mil
lion hogs and this shortage further
augmented by big shortage in the
beef supply and with many thous-
ands of people boycotting meat on
account of the high price 1t requires
no argument to show the country in
general needs more hogs, so will
turn my attention to Meade county
IN particular.
Meade county needs more hogs
because much of the meat consum-
ed by her people is shipped in from
the packing houses which ought to
be produced and cured at home;
true there is a good many hogs ship
ped from here but they are produc'
ed mainly by people living IN the
alfalfa district and who will not sell
them except in car lots, this does
not help the farmer living on the
flats, On the other hand there are
good many stock hogs that &c
from the fats to be finished in the
alfalfa district. This ought not tc
be for hogs at the present price car
be finished on the fats at proh
even If the entire grain ration has tc
be bought as it is on the valley, bu
granting for the sake of argument
that there is no profit in raising
them and that the farmer owns then
at butchering time at an actual cos
of III or 8 cents per pound, he il
still able to own his cured bacon a
from IL to 13 cents compared will
20 to "a cents when bought at thu
local merchant. The difference o
to 10 cents per pound represents
the profit of the shipper the rail
road company both ways, the stool
yards company the commission
saleman, the packer and last bu'
not always least the local merchant

Elmer Brown of Halsted, Kan
sas, bought some time ago two
mare colts from uncle Dick Skin
ner, of his noted Morgan breed.
Last week uncle Dick received a
letter from Mr.. Brown which we
quote in part. have raised my
price on HELEN and Hazel, l had
asked $900.00 and a party oner-
ed me that sum, but could only
pay a part of it down. That left
hole to back out and | did so.
| now hold them at 81, 100000 for
the team. They are heavier
than Billy, the two weigh 1880
pounds. There is a sample of
the stock which Meade county
raises. But it is not only in
Morgan horses, but in draft
horses as we'll that Meade has
the prize winners and price
bringers. Neither is the fine
stock productions of Meade clos
ed with horses, for the cattle
are as good in their class as the
horses. 1t is sure sorrow of
the heart to think that with all
these advantages Meade stock
must be sent away from home to
be shown and we have no fair
with its show ring where these
fine specimens could be exhibit
ed. For lack of that our breed
ers get only medium prices for
stock which as soon as tits where
it can be shown brings fancy
money.

A Thirty Thousand Dollar Real
Estate Deal Closed.

Elder Newberry last week closed
a trade with II. E! Guelick of south
Reno county by which we loose the
Elder and gain Mr.. Guelick's FAM
lily. Mr.. Newberry said that he and
his wife were getting too old to care
for so large a place. The one he
gets from Mr.. Guelick being not so
large will not be so burdensome to
care for. His complaint was that
with so much alfalfa there was no
breathing spell, haying begins in
May and lasts till frost, then it is
thresh, bale, haul hay and seed TIL
time to start the mowers on the next
crop
Mr.. Guelick expects to live in
Meade while his son, Ralph will live
on the farm ard care for it. Mr..
Guelick was attracted to Meade as
many others have been of late by
its exceptional advantages as resi-
dence town, aud the alfalfa farm
Just suits the younger Guelick, the
press of business which is too heavy
load for a man of Elder New
berry's sage is the delight of a young
man.

Seen At Plains.

business trip nor a news gather
ing raid, but IN so live a town
one will see interesting things
no matter what IS the object of
the visit. AS a matter OF course
our first stop was in the Journal
Office. Brother Mcconnell was
just taking a form off the press,
but stopped to say how. He
seemed a little worried or per-
haps only tired. We will say for
his comfort that he is getting
out a splendid paper for his town
and doing it under difficulties.
However more room and better
facilities are in sight as he will
build at once.
We next made a round of the
real estate Offices and bunch the
next result of our observation in
the statement, that one and all
were busy, some attending to
mail orders, some with clients
executing deeds and some talk
ing land and crops to customers.
The next thing to attract the
attention of visitor was "a new
iron clad building being erected
by w. H. and O. II. Wilson tc
be used as ware room and
implement house for their trade
1t is situated on the h, r. right
of way and is 100x26 feet, two
stories high. The merchants
seemed to be doing good busi'
ness. The reason for which we
had noticed while at the Journal
office in the fine line of adds
which that paper carries. The
one thing which betokenes pro
gress as much or more than any
other one thing is John Elder,
electric light plant. 1t is JUS
being installed and is not fully
adjusted yet. Twenty-siX busi
ness houses and residences hav,
contracted for lights in the town
The plant consists of a ID horse
power gasoline engine with 24C
light dynamo with the necessary
wiring, lamps etc. On the stree
we met Mr.. A. c Fish, who sale
that his son, r. L. returned
Wednesday of last week to Kan
sas City, Missouri, where he il
assistant cashier in the Contra
National Bank and the other sol
J. c. of Pueblo and Mr.. Fish:
brother and wife will remain ;
few days longer.
Some wheat and other graiI
was coming in not wlthstandlng
the cold weather and bad roads
We also talked with w. A
Bisbce the wheat farmer, wht
said that his brother, Mr.. K
Bisbee and his wife of Brice
Tennessee, is now visiting at th,
farm. However Mr.. E. BisbeC
has been for some time in Cali
fornia and New Mexico. Mrs
Bisbee's health is not good ant
they are seeking climate which
will agree with her. They ar
encouraged with this climate ant
may conclude to locate with us
| We also talked with one of TWEEN
| ty persons who we're in Plains
looking for location. They al
came from Castleton, Kansas
and we're pleased with the coun
try around Plains.

things to rights. He will i'm
prove the two farms at once.
