As ten wagons were loaded they were formed into caravans and started off with as many ..-orking 'men as could be spared to look after the loads en route. Toors truly accompanied the first caravan. With us, also, was Jack Crelgbton, Barle Maione, ana £ boy from the cookhouse. The thlrty>4ve xMc trip -was made -without Incident and no serious iccldoit, end the last of the forty-tWO WtUtOIlS 'iras on the lot In Matador by three O'clock MOH- c.i.r. By hustling, everything Could have vpeueA Monday night However, our opening was advertised for Tuesda.v, so we all took a mu<^ needed rest and took our time, and all opened Tuesday night to tunaway business -for one show apiece all around the Mldn-ny. Tbe big doings commenced early Wednesday oibmlng. Wagons, automobiles and saddle horses by tbe hundreds, camping every place available.

Doc drifted Into tbe general agent field and this was tbe first .ittompt In front of a s!<ow In over four years, but be has lost none of his old time per- sonality and as a result Songland got tbe money, as did every other show and store on the Midway. The picnic is now over, but we will finish out the ' week here, ot course, Tbe town folk have been so busy entertaining that they haven't had an op- Sortunlty ot seeing anything themselves and we gure thnt they should elvc us a nice business for these la.<;t two days of the TVeeS, I'aducah, Aug, 2-7.
