16, in a dilapitated Ford touring
car of the vintage of about 1915, and
worth perhaps dollar and a half.
They planned on giving the East
ern States a thorough "once over"
and succeeded admirably.
The connecting rods of the Ford
lasted until they landed at Albany,
N. Y, and the engine didn't fall
out until they reached Boston. They
bought a new motor from a Boston
junk dealer for $500, installed it
themselves, and the old car ratified
along and brought them safely
back to Sank Centre Tuesday eve
ming of last week. =. : :. =
The young men had q camping
outfit with them and retired when
ever they were willing to call it a
day, and slept under the stars most
of the time.
When they reached a point Of
particular interest to them the boys
remained long enough to get a
pretty good idea of the community.
The first objective after leaving
Sank Centre was Milwaukee, Wis,
where they remained over night
with friends. The next day they
drove to Chicago where they re-
manned four days as the guest of
Leo Schaefer, uncle of Richard.
They are satisfied they saw most
of the interesting sights Of the
Windy City.
After leaving Chicago the next
stop was South Bend, Indiana,
where they visited the famous No
ire Dame University, and were
very cordially received. From South
Bend they motored to Toledo, Ohio.
They had a happy experience af-
ter arriving in the Ohio city
when they accidently met Mrs.
Percy Hansen, of this city, who
was visiting at the home of her
brother, Charles Doolittle, a resi-
dent of Toledo. They remained a
couple of days at Toledo.
The next stop was Detroit where
they had an opportunity of going
through several of the large auto
mobile plants. Leaving Detroit
they crossed the famous Ambassa-
dor suspension bridge to Windsor,
Can.
Three days were spent travelling
in Canada enroute to Niagara Falls
where three delightful days were
spent.
After leaving Niagara Falls the
next stop was at Buffalo, N. Y, for
a short time and on to Warsaw,
N. Y, where they arrived that
evening.
At Warsaw they again met Mrs.
Hansen who was visiting her sister,
Mrs. Webster. and Mrs. Jack Col
ton Vera Jamieson). They camped
about Is miles from Warsaw for
nine days.
Lizzie" became weary shortly at
ter leaving Warsaw and the boys
battled with the old girl until AL
bany was reached. Connecting
rods were replaced at Albany.
They landed in Boston five days af-
ter they left Warsaw.
Richard said Albany was quite
an interesting city but that the
state capitol building did not in
any manner compare with rae Min
nesota state capitol.
Four days were spent in Boston
where many of the historical and
educational places were visited.
From Boston the route took the
boys to Portland, Maine. After a
short stay in the Maine capitol
the boys made triangular trip
which landed them at Concord, n.
H., and back to lexington. Mass.
The next stop was Plymouth Mass.
where they inspected the historic
old rock of prerevolutionary days.

en-, Conn. with a friend of Richard
Borgmann's. 2 ....s:--a =,

headed for New York City crossing
the Hudson river over the famous
Bear Mountain suspension bridge,

it Is the ambition of Richard to
enter this famous institution as a
student after he graduates from
High School. =;
After the West Point visit of a
few hours the young men headed
the car for New York City, travel
ing over the famous Storm Kings
Highway. @, SC -.
Upon their arrival in New York
they were taken under the protect
ing wing of Leo Schosnhof, a na-.
tive Sank Centre son, who is max
ing good in the big city.
The boys were quartered at the
Y. M. G. A., and they made
friends there who assisted them in
seeing some Of the interesting
sights.
Coney Island was visited, of
course. Richard said the day was
scorching hot and it was reported
