of the war, where he was sent on
company business prior to the United
States becoming involved and men
toned number of interesting events;
ais his experience in France and Eng
land during the time he was abroad.
This, however, being his first visit to
Minot he was greatly delighted with
the trip and the life and hustle OF the
city. -,
In driving around its parks and
driveways all of these men expressed
their great surprise that the little
city in the valley has such magnificent
drives and we'll kept up park system,
which they state goes to show the ac-
tivity of Minot's populace and IN
which they state there must be some
real live wires in the different
branches of the commercial industry
of the city, everyone stating their de-
sire to come back and visit with us
again whenever convenient.

lied for about three years he says 1t
lacks the "pep" <hat seems to. exist
with the Minot Why-Not bunch and
carried away with him number OF
snappy ideas that he will endeavor to
engender into their own club.
Both Mr.. Walker and MIR. ORourke
being implement men, they regretted
their inability to have been with US
during our recent tractor demonstra-
tion and more clearly expressed their
regrets in this respect after seeing
the moving picture film of this dem
onstration at the theatre Tuesday
night. and for which reason they ex-
tend a very hearty invitation to all OF
the Magic City people to their state
fair at Helena in September, as well
as the fair at Lewistown about the
same time, at which they say they will
try and show us something worth
while.
Both of these gentlemen left for
their respective homes last evening
delighted with their trip to Minot and
saying that they will come back agalr,
whenever they can get chance ana
their wives will let them get away
from home long enough. OF course, we
ali realize how difficult it is for one
of these Montanans to get away just
when he has the inclination.
