Mr.. and Mrs. H. Van Vleet were
in Dickinson on Tuesday on their
way to Minneapolis neal which city
they expect to buy a small farm and
settle down for the rest of their
lives. They came to the Mary
country from South Dakota seven
years ago, acquiring two sections of
land, and engaged in the live stock
business. Their sons, Glen and Pal
mer, took land in the neighborhood
and also engaged in live stock grow
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Van Vleet decided
that it would be nicer for them to
go east. They disposed of their land
and cattle at a good advance over
prices paid and go away with the
feeling that they made no mistake in
coming to this country as they did.
Their plan now is to visit North Da-
kota at least once every year. Mr..
and Mrs. Van Vleet have a daughter
residing in Calgary, Canada, and they
are inclined to think that she would
be much better satisfied if she was
back in this country.
