And NO ACCIDENT

This is the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, F" said J. R.
Callahan, district clerk yesterday in
telling Of the wonderfully successful
auto trip he made through the coun-

breakdown. Mr.. Callahan travelled
more than 1000 miles during his trip
and declares that he did not spend an
amount to exceed IS for repairs on
his car and that he lost no time on
the trip on account of breakdowns.
The best time made by the Gala
ham party was the first day OF the re-
turn trip. A distance OF 14O miles
was covered on that day. The party
were on the road seven days coming
home on account of the big rains they
encountered in Kansas. They Travelled
four days in rain and mud.
~One Of the best agricultural coun-
tries that we saw otuside Of Oklaho-
ma was in the irrigated districts Of
Kansas where the sugar beet is the
only product says Mr. Callahan.
The beet crop will be immense in
that section.
Grady county cotton fields have
the best indications for bumper
crop Of anything that we saw on the
trip continued Mr. Callahan. There
was no cotton on our route until we
reached Hennesey. Mr.. Callahan
says that he would not like to live in
Colorado although il is a fine place to
enjoy a vacation
