that many more hills placed right

each man has hill of his own
We did not find and dragged roads
until Monday afternoon and we sure
appreciate it very much. We drove
along pretty well with only inlnor
troubles such as fiat tires. etc, pass
ing through some very nice country
Before reaching Clarinda We had
some trouble with the auto air pump,
tby bending il and coaxing it we man

lating ourselves on the good roads,
when we struck newly worked hill
land the first car stopped without any
choice. We all got out and pushed with
all our might, our feet dragging the
road as we went, we might have look
ed like some of the inmates OF the
IClarinda asylum as we moved along up

All things come to him who pushes
and we finally reached the top. A
