ROUTE COVERED 3s5 MILES

The third and most interesting of
the Redwood Falls Sociability Tours
left Friday morning, July Is and re-
turned last night. The trip lay
through the most beautiful parts of
Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa
and was delight from the time the
cars left the Kahler House until their
return there at nine o'clock last night.
The cars left promptly at 6:15 led
by Fred Murset's Chalmers carrying
DR.. E. A. Lyman, pilot, Mrs. Lyman
and Mr.. and Mrs. Murset.
This was followed by the pacemak-
er, Rud. Stensvads Cadillac contain
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Stensvad and chill
dren and Mrs. Emil Kuenzli. The rest
followed according to number.
At Seaforth Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Little and
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Davis and daught-
er became members. S. F. Scott and
N. L. Anderson joined the party at
Vesta in Mr.. Scott's Ford.
Lake Benton Entertains Royalty
The first stop was made at Marshall
after the tourists had been ushered in
to the city by DR.. Hard. From Mar
shall the route lay through Russell and
Tyler into Lake Benton where the
company was as royalty greeted and
treated as at any point of the tour.
Ice cream, fruit, gum and cigars in
profusion were lavished upon the
guests, band played constantly dur
ing the stop and everyone welcomed
the tourists with more than usual cor
diality.
The stop for dinner was made at
Pipestone. Silence about Pipestone is
the truest charity! However there
were two redeeming features, the first
was the hearty handshake. of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Howard, who were evident
ly as glad to see the Redwood citizens
as those same citizens were to see
them. The second delightful occur
renee was the joining of the party by
Misses Jessie Walkup and Frances
Everett who rode to Sioux Falls, re-
turning to Pipestone late Friday eve
ming.
H. Shoemaker created quite SEN
sation just before the party reached
Sioux Falls by trying to give a couple
of South Dakota buffaloes a ride on
his tenders. They objected however
and now Herman has nothing to show
for it but couple of bent tenders.
However it was worth the experience
just to see what REQ can do under
stress.
Friday night was spent at Sioux
Falls which as far as hotels go is posi-
lively the best ever. The Carpenter
entertained royalty with the best of
lodgings, meals and service Friday
evening the Redwoodites were the
guests of the Sioux Falls Commercial
Club at large park of which the city
is justly proud.
Iowa All to The Good
Saturdays drive from Sioux Falls
to Lake Okoboji, Iowa, was contin-
uous procession of beautiful farm
homes, splendid crop outlooks and
friendly welcomes from all towns
touched. This entire days run was
made on roads that were the realiza-
ton of the visions of every automobile
lover. They are not roads; just boule-
wards, pavements, poems of travel or
anything else delightful. Minnesota
hasn't any. roads by comparison and
never will have until she has Iowa's
road drag law. The worst road in the
country is that between Redwood
Falls and Marshall which is as bad as
DR.. Hard said it was and then some.
The tourists were warmly welcomed
along Saturdays route at Hull. which
llikes all Redwood Falls because it
loves Rud- Stensvad, at Hartley where
Mr.. and Mrs. M. A. Ebright were rice
showered in honor of an important
event which at one time took place
there, at Sheldon where a delicious
dinner was served and at Spencer
where the Automobile Club served ice
cream and waters, and passed cigars.
From Spencer the tourists drove m
to Lake Okoboji where the Sunday
stop was made with headquarters at
Arnold's Park Judge and Mrs. A. C.
