The speedometer on Ancient History II reads 2,000 miles from Fifth and Austin; the walk't is out $50, and we've got $10 left. I've just wired the boss for the $25 he promised me to get home on, and if the chewing gum and bailing wire on the trailer and jalop-p- y don't relax their holds during the homewawi 2,000 miles, we shall have made the whole junket on $85. We spent a little over $1.50 each per day on the Fair itself, counting admission at the gates. Thomas, the and Frances, the woman who tells me how to drive, and I walked and walked and looked and stared, finally becoming convinced that the best parts of the Fair are free. We could while away two weeks here looking at the free shows, and never repeat and rever suffer from what the slick paper writers call ennui. We are leaving only because a wolf is howling at a door bearing the coat of arms of a certain small town newspaperman in Texas. Nothing Like the Brazos We stood and gulped when we saw the illumination at the lagoon of nations last night Nothing like that along the Brazos, nor anywhere else. A lightning bolt hit a telephone post as our combination passed it on the road to Knoxville, coming up. It smashed the post, splattered our car with splinters, made an outrageous noise, scared us stiff. We saw it all over again, free, at the General Electric show here. They made 10 milBANG! and we lion volts for us thought we were back on the Tennessee highway in the storm. We fought good roads and bad coming up. General Motors showed us all good in a panorama that 27,000 people a day look at. GM parked us in upholstered chairs, started a public address explanation from the chair arms, and showed us the highway system of 1960. If it hadn't been for that roads system display, we might have thought, in the aviation building, that man was fixing to leave the ground eleven-year-ol- d Any motion that American farnv era fell into an inprogressive rut dur ing the depresion is dispelled by the announcement of the results of interviews with 32,000 farmers states. These results In thirty-fiv- e show that farmers are more eager to lca.rn and to use the latest scientific farming methods than they were in the boom days of 1928. More than S3 percent of the fanners attended meetings or demonstrations held by their county agents.
