INTERESTING CANADIAN TRIP.

Tillsonburg, Ont., August 23, 1920 Mr. L. Hamilton, Rensselaer, Ind. My Dear Mr. Hamilton: — The last Sunday morning we had services at Barkley one of our friends in the church came to me and asked me to write up our trip and send it to the Rensselaer Republican. So I will try to be as brief as possible and yet interest this friend and any others who may care to read. Cordially yours, x _ MRS. J. E. DEAN. We left our home at the Barki ley parsonage Monday, Aug. 16th, jat twelve o’clock noon. When we were about 18 miles from home we discovered we did not have our । automobile identification slip and it would cause inconvenience and de-, lay at the United States and Canadian line without .it. There was nothing to do but go back home and get it. Starting out-again we were about one mile away and Mr. Deah could not. remember having closed tile front door so back again to close the door. I suppose superstitious people would have given up fas that day- at least, but we started out. again and about 4:30 drove into Knox to see a great pncle of Mr. Dean’s, living there. After a short visit we proceeded on to Winona Lake, arriving there Sbout 9 o’clock and immediately set p our tent and beds and retired.,, Winona Lake is a wonderful place and they have had. a wonderful program of good things there all summer. They have just dedicated a tabernacle seating 8,000 persons? We thoroughly enjoyed the lectures of several different speakers and four inspiring sermons of Billy Sunday. Wednesday evening ne preached to an audience nearly filling this great tabernacle. We also some wonderful singing, by a double male quartette, Chas. Gabriel, Homer Rodheaver, Mrs. Asher and an immense choir. The Chicago'Boys’ Club have a camp at Winona where thousands of boys in groups of about 75 have a week’s outing during the summer. Mr. J. H. Witter, Kenerad Superintendent of the clubs, .(which nubers in membership about 10,000 boys) and his wife are at the camp continually during the summer. We had supper with them on Wednesday evening and had a delightful time recounting experiences of days when they ana we worked together in Epworth League in a church in Evanston when Mr. Witter and Mr. Dean were preparing for their life s work in school there. Thursday morning at 6:30 we left Winona on our journey to Canada. There has been more ram in the Eastern part of Indiana, through Ohio and Canada consequently the roadside and fields are green and we enjoyed the beauty of the country immensely. We reached Toledo Thursday evening just about dusk and after finding our way out of town about 3 miles we asked permission of a fanner to pitch our tent on his premises and spend the night. ' ' ■ . „ At Toledo and a large territory about they had a terriffic storm on Monday which did a great amount of damage, although this wm Thursday when we passed through Toledo we saw many gardens still under water 8 or 10 inches deep. Tomato patches that appeared to be frost

killed, but were simply drowned. About six thirty Friday morning we started out again, and at 10:30 were crossing the river on a ferry boat, leaving the United States and entering Canada, confident that by night we would be at our destination. We had driven, about 40 miles in Canada and were looking for a suitable place to stop for dinner when a came off the ’car and luckily the wheel, not the car, rolled into the ditch. We were 3 miles from a garage. Mr. Dean hailed the first car going into ■town and took the wheel to have it fixed. It was nearly five o’clock before we had the car ready to go on so our hopes of reaching home that night had been abandoned and after driving about 40 miles farther, we again sought a camping spot in a farmer’s yard. At 6 o’clock Saturday morning wa started out on the last stretch of our journey reaching home at about 11:30 just in time for dinner. We had excellent roads most all the way. The worst road we had was near Wheatfield, Ind. The Canadian toads this year are- far superior to the United States roads. We met on the Canadian roads as many, if not more, cars bearing U. S. licenses as we did cars bearing Canadian licenses. One storekeeper in Canada told me there had been more United States tourists going through Canada this year than there had ever been in any year previous. I must say I am a little ashamed of our State’s tourists. Many of them camp and eat their meals on the school grounds along the roads and most all school grounds are very unsightly from the papers, 'boxes and rubbish that has been left lying on the grounds. Not setting ourselves up as model tourists, do I say that no one will find any litter where we stopped for we always gather up papers, scraps, etc., and take them to the midaie of the road and buni them just before, leaving and wait to see that there is no danger of fire. Perhaps you wonder what we ate when on the road for 3 days preparing all our meals. We carry 4 bricks and where convenient we build a fire of small sticks and cook our meals thus, or we use the ( ned heat where we cannot build a fire of sticks. Our meals depend on our appetites, but we fry steak, pork chops, bacon and the same as at home. And always a can of coffee when traveling thus 18' necessary to complete a m e~We do not carry many eatables along as vegetables, fruits and so oh can be purchased as we go through towns. It is curious to note the different prices for different communities. One place tomatoes were 6c a pound and another they were 12 cents a pound. When we stopped Mr. Dean yßual]y builds the fire, Dorothy seta the table and I get things ready jn -general. It usually takes about ten or 15 minutes to prepara our meal. Perhaps you would like to know something about Canadian crops a®d land. After we crossed over into Canada and were driving along I remarked about the nice homes and so close together and also remarked that the land did not look so good. After our accident and incidents pertaining to the repairing, thereof we learned that land in that section was selling for $1,200 and sl,300 dollars an acre. (This .makes Barkley -Township land sound rather cheap doesn’t it?) The crop

they raise is valued at SI,OOO an acre. I am sorry to say it is not a necessity of life, only just “to bacco.” Farther east the land is not so valuable Sand more grain is raised and crops look about as they do there. Wheat was greatly damaged by the fly. Mr. Dean’s father lost his entire crop thereby. The season is later here as we saw quite a number of farmers just cutting oats and very little threshing done. The farmers here do not seem to have the “pep” that our home farmers do. ■ Oats is higher here and corn too. Gasoline is 39 cents a gallon here although we got some farther west in Canada for 32 cents. We drove after leaving home- at least 500 miles using 23 gallons of gasoline. We are enjoying ourselves and the: time to start back will come all too soon. With love and kind regards to our many friends at Barkley, Lee, and McCoysburg, we are, Sincerely yours, The Rev. Mrs. and Dorthy Dean, By Mrs. J. E. Dean. NOTE—Why own an automobile when you can read The Republican and get all the thrills and see all the scenery in your dreams. —Op.
