Return Trip.
A trip to Taylor last Saturday
evening with Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w.
Turner and son, David, and Mrs.
Jack Agnew was the pleasure of
Press representative.
Of course the trip was made in a
Cadillac Eight and the time was just
40 minutes. Had it not been for the
mud holes this ride of 20 miles would
easily have been made in IS minutes
and Mr.. Turner did not seem to think
that he was driving fast either.
Coming home it rained a great part
of the way and the run was made
with ease in so minutes. Some of
the cars, however, that made the
Taylor trip had bad luck, spending
long time in mud hole east Of the
Gustine farm.
Taylor has a fair sized auditorium,
where public gatherings are held.
The attendance Saturday night was
good, and everybody seemed pleased
with the entertainment.
DR.. j. P. Weyrens made the an
nouncements and introduced the
speakers. This former Dickinsonite
is whole host in himself. He has a
pleasing way of rounding out the
speaker, before and after, and if any
strong point has been neglected dur
ing the address, the doctor can bring
it out in splendid shape.
The chairman announced that the
Farmers Progressive Club, organized
for year or two, had arranged the
meeting Saturday night. The Club
had already won a reputation for en-
tertaining. A dance was to follow
the speaking and the third and pos
sibly most important event Of the
evening was the luncheon prepared by
the farmers.
The first speaker on the program
was F. w. Turner of Dickinson, a
man who has won national reputation
through his untiring work in behalf
of the Red Trail, incorporated as the
National Parks Highway. Mr.. Turner
served year as president of this or
ganization which now has a well
marked auto road from coast to coast:
It was also the untiring efforts OF
Fred Turner, coupled with those Of
Secretary John Orchard of Dickinson,
which secured the Red Trail bridge
at Medora by popular subscription.
With this introduction the speaker
was received with hearty applause.
Mr.. Turner spoke of the steady de-
velopment of the farmers in the 10
cality of Taylor which he looked upon
as one of the best spots in Stark
county. In this age, said Mr.. Turner,
everybody is interested in good roads,
and with the farmer it is more than
a pleasure, it is of great commercial
importance. The farmer pays an
average of 28c per ton per mile Tor
hauling, which is vastly too much.
Whv not improve the roads and save
more than half this great expense :!
Good roads will also add greatly to
the value of land, and it is but a
short time until we will have both
state and national aid in this splendid
road movement which is being felt all
over this glorious land of ours, said
Mr.. Turner. The people OF Taylor,
he continued, are fortunate. They
live on the Red Trail route, the great
transcontinental highway which
traverses the northern part Of the
> limited States from coast to coast.
This route, the greatest of all the
transcontinental routes, will unques--
tionablv be the first to get state and
federal aid in North Dakota. A bill
is already nearly through Congress
which will eventually give us macada-
mized or grayeled roads. But in the
meantime. said the speaker, every
body should try and 40 someth1he 70
help improve the roads. 80,
