WARREN AUTO TOUR
WAS A SUCCESS
The Busy and Prosperous Villages in
Eastern Marshall County Were
Visited in Days Run.

Visited in Days Run.
The Warren auto clubs first official
tour scheduled for last Friday had to |
be postponed on account of rain until
Monday this week, when bright, and
genial summer weather and good
roads favored the taking of the trip.
Thirteen cars started on the tour at
8 :25 in the forenoon and several others
joined the tourists on the home stretch.
The first stop was at the thrifty vii
1age of Newfolden, where the Warren
band, which was brought along on the
trip, rendered a few selections while |
the members of the party shook hands
and exchanged greetings with the busi-
ness men and citizens of the village,
who had congregated on the main
street, and also distributed and posted
advertising matter Of the county fair.
But the road is long and time is fleet
ing and we had to move on. Middle
River was reached at noon and the
motorists whose appetites had been
sharpened by the thirty mile run
squatted down in the shade Of stately
trees close to Middle Rivers modern
and up-to-date consolidated school
building. After dinner the band play
ed two or three selections and hurried
stocked stores and shops Of the village.
Monday is cream day, we are told,
hence large numbers Of farmers were
in town delivering cream to the cream.
cry and consequently the storekeepers
were all very busy. The same thing
was true also at Newfolden, at Holt
and at Viking, all Of which towns have
creameries that are doing big busi-
ness. Reluctantly we bade goodbye
to the good people of Middle River and
then proceeded to Holt, where a short
stop was made while the band played a
piece or two. Rosewood was the next
place visited and the same performance
gone thru as at the former stops. At
Viking the performance was repeated
SAnd had some of the boys not smelled
ball game at Warren a longer stop
would have been made. When Radium
was reached the party felt that they
were in the suburbs of Warren and
each one began to investigate how
thick an accumulation of dust had been
acquired on the trip. Close examina-
tion revealed that Col. A. P. McIntyre's
complexion had become shade or
two darker, and that the clothes of l..
M. Johnson, the "dusty miller we're
not as white as usual.
It was happy crowd of motorists
that rolled into Warren at 6 p M from
tour Of eastern Marshall county. To
many was revealed for the first time
the great size of the county. And yet
Marshall county extends much farther
east than the itenerary of this trip.
From Holt to Grygla, near the Bel
trami county line, is thirty miles, about
the same distance as from Warren to
Holt Marshall county is an empire

Rhode Island. The eastern part of the
county has developed wonderfully dur
ing the past five or ten years. Dairy
ing is the chief source of wealth in
that part of the county, and on most
farms large barns were seen. Good
