Their lmprov ement Discussed a
Meeting Last Night.
NkATO DELEGATION THERE
MANKATO DELEGATION THERE
Discussion OF Question That Business
Men and Farmers Can Unite
On Very Quickly.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Good roads was the topic discuss
ed at an interesting meeting of the
Amboy Automobile club at the AM
boy opera house last evening Sew
present and addressed the audience
of men and women who had gather
ed to hear the discussions on this
Interesting and vital subject. The
Amboy Automobile club has a mem
bership of twenty-five, although there
are about forty automobile owners
there, and the meeting was called
in order to get the other owners
to join the club.
Those who went to Amboy from
Mankato are as follows: William
Schwender, ]. P. Dineen, Rueben
Foster and c. H. Saulpaugh; John
Hohmann, August Schultz. City Edi-
tor Frank Franciscus of The Re-
view, and City Editor Arvid Erick-
son of The Free Press; Mr. and
Mrs. r. E. Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
T. Warwick and Mrs. Darlington;
Warner Clements, n. P. Paulson, Al
Pioske and F. J. Busch.
When the party arrived at Am
boy they were made hosts of the
Automobile club and given splen-
did supper. The first of the party
made the trip in a Mitchell Six,
owned by Schwender and Saul
paugh, the second in a Buick Four,
owned by Mr. Holman, the third
in Mr.. Browns car, and the fourth
in a Hudson .Thirty-three, owned
by the Hoerr & Clements Auto
company.
Before the meeting began the AM
boy band gave a street parade and
rendered several selections, and al
so played in the opera house before
and after the meeting.
John n. Hohmann Introduced.
President Charles Chamberlain of
the Amboy club, presided at the
meeting and introduced the speak
ers. The proposed business of the
club was dispensed with in order
to listen to as many speakers as
possible in the short time given.
The first speaker was John H. Hob
mann, president of the Mankato Au-
tomobile club. He told of his ex-
periences with good roads work in
and about Mankato and how good
roads were secured through the CO
operation of the business men and
the farmers The benefits to the
farmer as well as to the business
man and auto owners were many,
he said, but there was difference,
for the farmer used the roads al
most every day in the year, while
