is coming into its own this year with
signs of splendid crops on every side

and going in for dairying more than
ever A great future is predicted for
the Slope country. The writer trav-

Grand Forks and Fargo last week, and
crops in the Slope country seem far
ther advanced and fields are greener.

car. Cornish refused to quit the tour
and went en- in another car. William
Dahlheim was badly hurt in the leg
after the caravan left Hazen where a
stop was made for noon luncheon yes

which followed the passenger cars at
a sharp turn and heavy barrels of gas
oline battered the sides Of the truck

plunged head foremost to the ground.
A spiggot of gasoline barrel struck
him in the shin bone of the left leg

and Dahlheim continued the journey
to Killdeer after the injury was dress

encountered in Minnesota while he
and Fryane Baker were flying to Bis

received with enthusiasm in many
towns along the line.

held up by dozen cowboys who shot
pistols and circles the caravan. After
firing, leaders of the tour surrendered.
and the party was presented with the
keys to Beulah. The holdup was ar
ranged by local citizens.

keep up with schedule because of the
late start from Mandan and when it
appeared that the party would not
reach Killdeer for the night control

road boosters were pleasantly sur
prised when ladies of the Congrega-
tional Guild at Halliday which was
