Another party of Wisconsin land
buyers were up again last week and
several of them purchased homes in
this neighborhood. North Dakota
looks good to the Badger farmers.
They know good thing when they
see it.
In a couple more years Burlington

Gunder Livingston, manager of the
Farmers Telephone Co is the in
ventor of a patent auto tire that gives
promise Of working revolution in
the manufacture of auto tires. The
wheel he has patented has solid rub
Der tire mounted on a rim that is held
in place by springs that give it the
same resiliency as an inflated tire.
When the new wheel comes into gener-
al use, blowouts and punctures will be
things of the past. A tender Of 50,-
900 has been made Mr.. Livingston but
experts have advised him to await de-
velopments. Mr.. Livingston is 10y
al North Dakotan and wishes to see
his invention developed and put on the
market by North Dakota capital. Tire
expense is a big item in the up-keep
of a car and the Livingston wheel has
that reduced to minimum.

Burlington people are curious to know
if the fault lies with the 500 or the
postal authorities.
People along up the line here wish
ing to go to the Magic City and return
the same day are obliged to return
via the Great Northern. The railroad
Liabilities up Cllc OOO Is SOuICc u
wonderment. We wonder how even a
railroad official could conceive a sched-
ule of train service that would be so
inconvenient to the travelling public.
The only consolation lies in the fact
that Minot people cannot get up this
way any where and back the same day.
We are pleased to note the fact that
our good friends in Minot are able to
get back in due time provided they are
so unfortunate as to drop off at To-
gan. .r.
