show big success and place the As

to do big things for Minot and this

"By having the programs at the corn
and potato show in the afternoons and
the carnival running at night Minot
people and visitors TO the city will be
enabled to attend both events without
sighting one or the other. Travelling
men working out of Minot report
widespread interest in the carnival
and show and we have every reason
to expect thousands of visitors in Mi
not for the three days. 1t is planned
to have rooms in private homes listed
in the event that hotels become crowd
ed and in that way everyone who
comes to the city will be taken care
of properly"
