RETURNS FROM
PLEASANT TRIP
Ruth May Curtiss of near Canute,
was in Elk City, Friday having just
reurned the evening before from a
trip to Kansas, and this being her
first trip ever taken so far away
from home, sne is very enthusiastic
over it and speaks with delight of
the good time she had. She made the
trip with her grandfather, G. A. Bow-
man, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Evans and
Miss Ethel Bowman. They made the
trip in a large truck, and visited at
Coldwater and Earned, Kansas, camp-
ing out enroute each way. They
went by the way of Waynoka, re-
turing by the way of Woodward. She
says her aunt living at Coldwater
lives on the Albert Pike trail, and it
j. sure fine. Then she enjoyed see-
ing the large Taloga bridge and also
the one on the Arkansas River which
was lighted so nicely with electric
lights.
