Concluded from page iJ

nag Wnlcn looked good 10 me,
Washington is very beautiful
city aud one which should inter-
est us all.
In the afternoon we visited the
White House calling on President
Taft, We found him a very plea
SAINT gentleman with none Of the
dignity we expected in the Presi-
dent of the United States. He
received us very kindly and at
the request of Mr.. Bates willing
ly consented to be photographed
with us. A number of people
waiting to see Mr.. Taft, Senator
Chamberlain kindly showed us
through the White House.
The next morning we visited
Mt. Vernon. the home of Wash
ington. The ride was very beau
tiful and we found Washington's
home as we might have expected
bespeaking simplicity and ele-
gance. Many articles of both
his and his wife's personal be-
longings still remain in the
house including the beds upon
which they both died.
On our return to the city, by in
vitation of Senator Chamberlain
we went to luncheon in the Sem
ate restaurant, Mr.. Chamberlain
showed us many attentions and
was very kind to us. After
luncheon through the kindness of
Mr.. Lafferty in giving us tickets
we visited the Senate and
the House of Representatives
and had the privilege of find
ing out a lite of the workings
of both great houses. In the
evening we visited the public
library one of the greatest in
stitutions of its kind in the world.
The next day we spent several
hours at the zoo in Gin innati.
This was very interesting to us
and is considered the largest in
the world. We took a car there
and crossed the river into Ken
lucky where we remained a short
time, returning in time to catch
the train for Indianapolis which
we reached at IL p. m.
The next morning we called on
the governor of Indiana. Later
we took a ride about the city,
visiting Van Camps Pork and
Beans Factory and saw the pro-
cess of preparing and canning
the pork and beans. We were
not particularly impressed with
the beauty of this city perhaps
because it rained most Of the
time we were there.
From here we went to Chicago
where we spent the first day in
seeing the City by the Lake"
We visited various parks and
took a ride along the lake shore
which was very windy and cold.
That evening we called upon Mr..
Williams, our state Republican
Committeeman and received
tickets to visit the Republican
Convention which was in session
there. The next morning was
spent at the convention. | had
expected this to be interesting
and instructive but was surpris-
ed TO see the disorder, confusion
and apparent rudeness which
prevailed there. / hope when
the women get into politics they |
will teach the men better man
ners than they displayed there. |
They threw papers and hats
shook their fists in each others
faces until the policemen had to
quiet them.
The afternoon was spent in
and looking about the
stores. Here three of us got
from the rest of the
party and after looking for them
in vain for a while went to our
hotel which on entering we saw
them coming in by another door.
That evening we left for Madi-
son, Wisconsin where we went
by invitation Of Mr.. B. b. Clark
If the American Thresherman's
staff. This proved to be one of
he most enjoyable events of our
rip. Arriving there at 10:30l
}. m. we were met by Mr.. Clark
md escorted to our hotel. Next
morning we were joined by the
,ntire Office staff of the Ameri-
AN Thresherman in nine auto
and taken around the
