Great Be oster for Meade.

members Of the Commercial Club start
ed for Beaver in five automobiles. The
weather was fine and delightful run
was made To Miles Kansas where stop
of over an honr was made for dinner
and to anyone who is acquainted with
Mrs. Busing it is needless to say that
the dinner was one to be remembered
and for the benefit of those who have
never had the pleasure OF partaking of
one of Mrs. Busing's famous meals we
would say that you should not miss an
opportunity. About one O'Clock the
party again resumed its journey and
were soon at Hamilton 2. o. where a |
short stop was made and mutual greet |
ings were exchanged with the residents
of that place. The next stop was made
at the we'll improved farm of Lon Jones
about 8 miles north of Beaver City |
Okla, where we were met by part OF
the Beaver Commercial Club, also in
autmobiles and rousing cheer of well
come each to the other and seats were
exchanged by different members OF the
party and we were escorted to the S20,
600 90 court house at Beaver where we
were given a short but cordial welcome
by the citizens Of that place after
which it was announced that we would
take another Joy ride" south OF town
where they said the crops were better
but we were rather skeptical about
this assertion as we thought they had
been as good as could be all the way.
But after they Showed u.s." we were
convinced.
Our first stop after leaving Beaver
was at Balko, Okla % miles southwest
of i,eaver which consists of one good
general store, postofiice, etc, amidst
waving fields of very fine grain OF all
, kinds which is now made and will be
ready for harvest in a very few days
From here we proceeded over muddy
roads to Kemp City, % miles south OF
Beaver which is thriving little town
surrounded by very productive iafm-
ing country, short stop was maze
here and our return trip to Beaver was
resumed and made in remarkably short
time. As was the whole running time
of this trip being led by Mr.. Frank
] Lauphrin in his new 40-horse Buick
and he set pace that was hard to ioi-
low but the little Bucks, Fords Royals
: showed that they were there with the
: goods and with the exception oil one
blow out in the tire of one machine
which caused a short delay the trip was
made without trouble and we were back
to Beaver in good time for supper
where we met the balance of our party
; and band which had left Meade later
in the day.
At s O'Clock Won Prosky's band was
called together at the Beaver hotter
where they formed in line and march
> ed to the main business part OF the city
, where they gave an open air concert as
long as they could see to read music
then they marched to the court house
where reception was held which ter
minated in regular old fashioned love
feast. Short talks were made by cit
: izens of both places and general feel
" ing .of good fellowship was established,
The Meade band furnished most of the
music aud to say that it was highly APP

to have had more.
