road, leaving the way at Grinnell fol
Oskaloosa. Mr., McNeill says thai
since the Glidden tour cars passed
lover the road it had been neglected
in places and shows roughness on ac'
count of rains, but in most places the
road is in splendid condition. Elmer
Broyles was behind the wheel in ca
pacity of chauffeur and he did excel
lent work over every mile OF the tour.
Colonel Mcneil is enthusiastic over
the appearance of the country through
which he passed and he says the
country generally is in fine conditions
The recent rains in Illinois have put
the crops In prime shape. Illinois
was in need more than Iowa. Small
grain has made remarkable show
ing, oats in some sections going to 10
bushels to the acre. The corn in both
states Is doing as well as can be ex-
pected. Mr.. Mcneil has many com
pliments for the new blue books.
With the assistance to be had from
them over any route it is possible for
the tourist to go any place and to un-
derstand exactly what he Is doing at
any point on the road.
