ed their second trade trip, Visiting
IL towns southwest Of Tulsa on the
Frisco. The train failed to leave on
time and all of the stops had TO
be shortened in order that the train
might reach home on time. \ train
OF three coaches and one baggage
car was furnished and J. T.. Spring
er, division freight agent Of tho
Frisco, and T.. q. Bittner, passenger
agent, personally conducted the trip.
There we're about ITO live, energetic
Tulsa business men on the trip and
all OF them expressed wondermcnt
at the great change In many Of the
towns since their visit last year.
At every town except Hepburn the
cntire populace. or the greater part
iof it, were on the depot platform,
greeting the boosters with ycIls and
cheers. At Hepburn the platform
was deserted. and due to the loss
in time at the start no stop was
made. This was the only town left
off OF the original schedule. School
had been dismissed at all of the
towns for the occasion, and one
booster ventured the remark that
any one of the towns had more
kids for it's size than any town
I'm the country.
a Commute stop was made at
Sapulpa, the first town on the sched-

Depew, and 1t was well warranted,
because the depot platform was one
solid mass OF red headed girls and
freckled faced boys. Here for the
llrSt time the excellent parade for
nation which had been possible in
other towns was destroyed. Depew
lies at the top OF "A large hill and
the boosters were hauled to the top
by the many ears at the depot. w.
ID. Moss, that renowned song leader,
had the kiddfes sing one OF the
booster songs, and told them that
for their efforts they would receive
tho famous booster rings at the
train. They did, but many were dis
appointed.
Dinner was eaten at Shamrock
where a i5-minute stop was sChed-
