mendorf Farm, where the very lat

ceive of, have been installed.
Wednesday afternoon will be spent
at Cincinnati and Thursday morning

100 MILE AUTO TRIP.
Tuesday morning the special will
deliver its occupants at Bowling
Green and the Warren county farm
ers will be awaiting with automobiles
to take them on a hundred milk trip
through the length and breadth Of
this county which in the past few
years has made such wonderful
| strides along various phases of di-
versified agriculture as to have it be-
come nationally famous. Saturday
morning will be spent in Maury coun-
ty, Tennessee, where the famous
mule and jack farms will be shown
the visitors. Saturday afternoon a
stop will be made at Athens, Ala,
and our farmers will have chance
to ascertain from actual observation
the remarkable development that Is
possible in the livestock industry once
the cattle tick is eradicated.
The Journal is arranging for this
trip to be taken in a special train of
sleeping cars and has made arrange
ments for special meals to be served
/ in the dining car which will accom-
pany the train throughout its jour
ney. 1t begins to look, however, that
breakfast will be about the only meal
that our farmers will be permitted
to eat upon the diner as the Ken
lucky and Tennessee communities are
| planning such an elaborate series OF
barbecues, luncheons and banquets
that our farmers will have no time
to take any meals on the train, ex-
cept breakfast.
The entire expense of this tour, in
Guiding sleeping car, meals in the
diner, railroad fare, automobile anC
trolley rides, will be $4,000. The
entire party will live on The trair
during the entire eight days they
are away from home. The train vii
either travel at night or be parked
in some uiet spot where one can ge
perfect nights rest.
| LIMIT PARTY TO 100.
AS it is quite a problem to secure
automobiles for so large party, Thu
; Journal has found it necessary t,
limit the number who are to be it
guests on this trip to one hundrec
and is making all arrangements base
upon that number, so those who yr
, DESTROYS of taking advantage of thi
unparalleled opportunity to secure
trip to the most famous farms o
the country that will in effect be a
valuable to the farmer and cattle
] man as would trip to an agricul
tural college, had best send thei
! name in to The Journal, Immediately
!. We will dislike very much at tn
: last moment to be obliged to refus
some of our friends, but it will b
r impossible for us to take care of a
who will be DESTROYS of making thi
trip and we are going to make
a West Florida excursion exclusive
< ly. Many of our Alabama friend
!. have urged US to permit them to &C
4 company the train, but we do nc
think that the educational value t
:, the farmers and cattlemen will b
|, as great with big crowd as it wi
if we keep it within reasonable limit
: so we have decided on one hundre
!; as being about the proper number.
!. Send your name in to The Journs
: as quickly as possible in order thu
we may be able to assign you spac
d on the sleeping car and arrange t
have an automobile placed at you
y disposal at the points which we ma
e decide on.
