SUMMER of travel through i the highways and byways of I southern Europe and England was ended for a party of 12 tourists, of which five local women were members, when their steamer' docked in Montreal, Canada, early

Saturday morning. The local persons. Included in the party were: Mrs. Melville F. Johnston, of North Tenth street, who arranged the itinerary and directed the tour. Mrs. Charles Bond, of North Tenth street. Mrs. W. W. Gaar, of the

Hotel Westcott. Mrs. Juliet Shirk, of

North Eleventh street, and Mrs

Their rooms in the hotel, she said, had brick floors, which when they arrived, the hotel servants were sprinkling with water from sprinkling cans. Visit Cathedral. After a night at Cordova, the party visited the catherdal, Alcazar palace, gardens, and the king's palace at Seville. "Granada, Mrs. Bond said, "was our dream come true. The Alhambra, which is situated on a hill overlodking the city, is approached by a drive way lined by groves of elm trees, said to have been planted by the Duke of Wellington. Nightingales sing in the groves through which the road

On one side was the Gypsy hill, wehre the gypsies lived in their dugouts on the hill side, and down in the cty we could see the Spanish inhabitants working about their places, milking their goats, and washing in the municipal wash tubs. Even in Paris, many of the people still do their washings in the river or in municipal wash tubs, we found. Clear Atmosphere. "Three days at the Alhambra were spent by the party. One of the most beautiful things there was the clear

atmosphere which made the snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance look so near that one felt as

epent visiting the famous European cathedrals, and the Old Worfd galleries, were described in a vivid and interestng manner by Mrs. Charles Bond, one of the first of the party to reach Richmond. The trip to Europe was made on the Fteam6hip, Rochambeau, by a southerly route. Mrs. Bond said. "Landing at Havre, France, we proceeded to Paris by boat train. There we spent three days getting a general view of the city preparatory to a longer stay later. From Paris we went to Bergos, a typical Spanish town, which is noted for Its old cathedral. Here, as in many places during our trip, we were con

stantly pursued by beggar cmiaren who fairly clung to our skirts as they followed us about. Noisy Streets. "At Madrid, 'the little Paris,' which was our next stop, we had quarters on the noisiest street in the world." Mrs. Bond said. "An endless procession of promenaders, victorias, autos, wagons and donkey carts files back and forth through the streets without cessation all the night. This is because of he intense heat which makes it necessary for the people to sleep in the daytime. The quietest period in 24 hours occurs between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning. The stores open at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, nover earlier, and anyone who takes dinner before 8 or 10 o'.clock in the evening, is a curiosity. Contrary to the American custom the citizens of Madrid always attend the theatre and vaudeville before instead of after dinner in the evening." While in Madrid the party attended a bull fight, the only part of which they enjoyed being the parade of gorpeously atired toreadors and mateadors on their beautiful chargeis, which always precedes a fight.

Describes Galleries

as being much like those on our western desert. "The next stop was at Carcassonne

rin southern France. Carcassonne has

two parts, the "old city" and the modern city. The part known as the "old city" was built in the fifth century and the "modern" part in the 13th century. The streets are all very narrow but

like other European cities it had its grand plaza. Vehicles are driven along the edges of these boulevards and the people walk in the middle." Nimes was visited after Carcassonne and there they found the ruins of the Coliseum and other places better than those in Rome. In the great coliseum centuries old, built of huge granite

blocks put together without mortar the party witnessed a modern movie "Tar-

zan of the Apes on a moonlieht

night. Outstanding Features. Outstanding things seen in this part of the journey include orchards in southern France which are planted around the edges of the fields and often fruit trees, are trained to grow against buildings. Shrubbery and trees in Europe are trained in marvellous ways in Europe, Mrs. Bond said. In one place they visited great lime trees planted by Napoleon, have been trained

to make a cathedral, outlining - the

cave, transept, chancel and roof.

The limbs of trees are often tacked to laths to make them grow in the direction desired. Another picturesque feature in southern France is a custom

they have of training grape vines so

that they are draped in festoons from

trees around the fields.

well as parts of Europe, the roads were said to be perfect. They are made mostly of stone and along each road symmetrical piles of stone are

arranged which are used for repairs.

Travelling facilities and de luxe train i service in Spain, she said, exceeded ' those in this country for comfort and , luxury. Fom Madrid the group went to To- ' ledo. which Mrs. Bond said "is the most picturesque town in the world . except Jerusalem. The atmosphere is very clear and much like that rf Colorado.- Like in many parts of the ; western United States it is necessary to clutivate and irrigate the land there en account of the arid climate.

"Cordova, with its beautiful Moorish i o que, was the next town we visited. : The village at one time had 1,000,000 ; inhabitants and had paved and lighted . streets before any other city in the " world. It is now only a small place, . with none of its former conveniences." . The tourist party was such a curiosity " at Cordova that inhabitants of the town were lined up for a block in - front of the hotel where they stopped. This, Mrs. Bond explained, was because tourists rarely visited there.

and few farmers have machines

Celebrate Fourth.

Nice, Rivieria. and Monte Carlo were visited after Nimes by the party and a motor trip was taken along the Cornice road, which is a shelf road up the

mountain, which was built by Ceasar.

The road has a wall along the open side. The mountains tower up on one side of the road and looking on the other one can look down upon the

Mediterranean.

Short visits were made at the little

town of Genoa and Pisa after which

the party spent a week at Rome visit

ing all the principal points of interest

there.

They then visited Assissi, the home

of the Franciscan monks, went to the monastery, and from there went to Peruggio and on to Florence, where they spent nearly a week- visiting the galleries, palaces, San Marco cathedral and other places. The Fourth of July was spent in Florence and in celebration of the day Mrs. Bond and Mrs. Johnston entertained with a tea in their room at which the American flag was hung. Memorable Events. St Mark's cathedral, serenaders on the canals at night, stately palaces and a narrow escape from a spill in the Grand canal when a countess' gondolier ran his gondola into theirs were mentioned as memorable parts of the stay in Venice. Mosiacs in 4,000 colors covering a space of 60,000 feet at St. Marks were considered by members of the party as the most beautiful that they saw on their trip. Following a visit to Milan boat trips were taken across the beautiful Italian lakes of Como. Lugano, and Magiorre. In the Magiorre visits were made to the Italian and English gardens on island estates of Italian noble families.

Crossing the Alps through the SimpIon pass the party went to Brigue, a town set among glaciers, coached across the mountains to Interlaken

and from there went to Geneva, Ly

ons ana Orleans, the home of Jeanne

d Arc. Historical Visits.

Several other places of historical,

scenic or art fame were visited after which the party returned to Paris to spend a week visiting the Louvre, Fon-

tamebleau, Versailes, the battle fields

of Chateau Thierry, Belleau Woods, the Rheims cathedral and other places.

En route to Brussels they saw the work of clearing away barbwire entanglements and working the fields

in progress. In some places then

found all signs of the conflict removed so far had the reconstruction work progressed, the only thing to indicate

the battles that were fought in the districts being the great cemeteries. In other parts they visited, particularly in France, practically no headway had been made in the terrible debris and ruins, Mrs. Bond stated. See War Regions More marks of the world conflict were visited in Belgium where th party went to Ypres and Louvain and also visited the place where the mar

tyr nurse, Edith Cavell, was tortured and shot to death. Even Paris has

visit Estates At 'Ostend they took the channel

boat to Dover, England, and went to London by boat train to spend sev

eral days. Westminster Abbey and

Tower, the Tower Bridge, London Bridge were visited and sight-seeing trips made about the city. Visits were also made to famous English estates.

gardens and the surrounding countryside.

Warwick castle and Blenham. the

home of the Duke and new Duchess of Marlborough were among the most beautiful of the estates the party saw. One Sunday morning was spent in Hyde park, the gathering place of hun

dreds of Londoners on Sunday morning.

Anyone who wishes to make a speech, whether he be a Bolshevik,

a Socialist, or what not, is permitted to speak at Hyde park, and numerous

speakers each with his little audience are there in the morning.

Many persons join none of the little

groups but sit over by Rotten Row and watch the equestrians go by. Some time was also spent visiting some of the 21 colleges which comprise Oxford university. From London the tourists departed to Liverpool from where they sailed by a northern route through the iceberg fields to Montreal.

Leonard Wood, who is at present in the Philippines as head of the Wood-Forbes mission investigating conditions in the islands, recently laid aside his official cares for a day to attend the burial of Thomas Claudio, the first Filipino to be killed in the American army in France.

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31. Co-operative marketing of live stock will be discussed at county meetings to be held throughout the state during the next two months by representatives of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations. An attempt will be made to interest stock raisers in a co-operative plan which will be nation-wide in scope. The organization proposed, as explained by John G. Brown, president

of the Indiana federation, contemplates formation of local co-operative livestock shipping associations, co-operative commission companies at terminal markets apd a nation-wide federation of terminal companies. Will Meet in Chicago. Details of the national organization necessary to perfect the marketing scheme will be the subject of a conference to be held at Chicago, Friday, Sept. 2, by a sub-committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation's committee of fifteen appointed to in

vestigate livestock marketing problems. At this conference it is expected plans will be worked out for the organization and management of co

operative shipping associations. More complete details wil be discussed at a meeting of the whole committee of fifteen to be held at Chicago, Sept. 27, and it is expected a national conference of livestock producers will be called during, the latter part of October to ratify the plans. At the present time there are 250 local co-operative livestock shipping associations operating in Indiana. Officers of the Indiana federation believe ; that most of these companies will join in the general marketing scheme. Many , of the associations have already adopted a set of uniform organization plans and shipping practices recommended by a committee of

the Indiana farmers organization. In explaining the proposed plan for

the local co-operative associations. Mr.

Brown declared that no contracts are required to be signed by the stock raisers guaranteeing the sale of stock through the co-operative system. Th companies, he says, will be owned and controlled by the stock raisers. The local shipping associations will be members of the terminal companies which will be organized only where producers demand them. These companies will make the usual commission charges, but earnings will be prorated to the members on the patronage dividend plan.

THE next time a friend comos to you all excited about some wonderful tire bargain ask him how much value he ought to get for each dollar of tire money. It's astonishing that any car owner today should not know all the tire service he is entitled to. Nor how to check up between the economy of par quality on one hand and big discounts, surplus stocks, discontinued lines and retreads on the other.

For two years U. S. Tire makers have been telling the American people all about tires. They have laid open the tire business from every angle. They have always

led the fight for better tires. They have consist-

ently maintained quality first standards with certain economy for the tire buyer. They have established 92 Factory Branches all over the country. Perfecting U. S. distribution so that you get a fresh, live tire every time you buy a U. S. Tire. So when a man once decides on U. S. Tires he knows what he is getting in quality serviceeconomy. In support of his own judgment he gets the pledged word and reputation of the largest and most successful tire concern in the world. r A sound reason for the fact

that you see more U. S. Tires on more cars than ever this year.

The U. S. CHAIN TREAD One of the few tires of which it may be said that they deliver economy year in and year out and tire after tire.
