Episode IV, The Highway 
Scene 6, The First Automobile 
GRANDDAD: "Everything     rolled 
along pretty smoothly. Young Levi 
Parsons joined up when the Span- 
ish American War broke out but 
Admiral Dewey had the war all 
won before breakfast one morn- 
ing, so it didn't disturb us much 
in Waukau. 
   "But we really were a little dis- 
furbed over John Bagley's red 
automobile. It was every man for 
himself when John came tearing 
down Main Street. The young ras- 
cal drove all over the 'Dickens' 
and made up traffic rules as he 
went along. Folks do say they 
thought he probably drove the 
thing up to bed at night". 
  The orchestra plays "In My Merry 
Oldsmobile". The first automobile 
goes by loaded with assorted young 
folks. 
Scene 7, A Cloud Gathers 
   Teams loaded with grists line up 
on the road. An old man and a 
young one sit in a Democrat wagon 
in the center of the line. A man 
waving a newspaper steps up to the 
Democrat wagon. They excitedly 
discuss the latest news. The orches- 
tra plays, "My Dream of the Big 
Parade". 
  GRANDDAD: "I remember so well 
  when the place was crowded sev- 
eral days a week with teams at 
the grist mill by the depot. One 
day Grandpa and I sat there in 
our Democrat wagon waiting our 
turn. A fellow came by all excited 
about something he had just read 
in the Northwestern. *Huns had 
sunk the Lusitania! Just think of it 
-women and even children in 
that cold Atlantic! Made my blood 
boilI Grandpa  started  telling 
about how he'd seen three wars
