the end of the first week of travel over
the best roads the tour has ever
travelled. Officials of the tour who
have been on other Indiana trips say
the roads from st. Louis to this city
are the best over which their tours
have been run.
Great interest is manifested in the
different cars in the various cities
through which the tour passe. Each
entrant is examined by those interest
ed along the route and numbers of
questions asked. The good roads
question comes in for a good share Of
the attention of the people. Through
out this section of the country the
various organizations are putting their
every energy into the building of good
roads and the effect is noticeable. This
city greeted the tourists with open
arms and is doing everything for the
comfort of the guests.
The cars will depart at s a. m. for
