, solved the problem. The roads that
, have been graded in this neighborhood
: have been cut down in width to %
feet. The narrowness prevents two
vehicles from passing without both
running on very siding ground. So
when a small and lean man with a
big fat wife happens to be riding on
the lower side Of the ridge he is simply
"seton" and if the fat woman happens
to be on the lower side the little man
is made to jump on her lap. OF course
this would make a wooden man leave
his wife, or vice versa. The roads
should be made SO feet, or better still
will become the homes of bachelors
and bachelor-maids.

Glacier Park Trail Goat Team Visited
Minot
The Glacier Park trail goat team,
which is being driven over the trail
for advertising purposes, arrived in
Minot Friday afternoon, and remain
ed over night, leaving for Stanley and
other points west Saturday. The
goats were in charge Of Fred Oster
and Dave Burlingame, wide-awake
University of Minnesota students, who
delivered lectures illustrated with
moving pictures. They gave their
free entertainment at the swimming
pool in Riverside park before quite a
large crowd Friday evening"
The goats attracted an unusual lot
of attention. They were driven thru
the streets hitched to a miniature pra-
irie schooner. A third goat accom-
panied the party, being carried in
truck. 1t has been suspected that all
OF the goats were carried from town
to town on trucks, making their debut
from the outer edge of the towns.
