On Monday we accompanied Mr.
Jas. H. Moran to Union City, com
ing back in his car, making the
return trip in one and three quar
ter hours. The roads were ideal,
and in many places the good farm
ers were using their drags, revers
ing the hitch, and dragging the
snow off the road bedto the ditches
This has been done in many sec
Hnna of the county. It takes all
this slush off the road bed, which
dries out much more ripidly.
Automobiling across the country
in a December five-inch snow is
out of the ordinary. In this weath

transportation purposes, but Jim
Moran pulls a new stunt in this
trip, using his Overland car.
