old people were assembled at the
stake tabernacle to be entertained
by the Groveland ward. In the FORE
noon a program was given lasting
an hour and half, cold lemonade
being served while it was rendered.
After the program the guests ad-
journed to the basement where a
hot chicken dinner was served, fol-
lowing which they enjoyed them
selves with old-time dances and
games, every one taking part with
animated faces and light feet. Three
little girls, dressed in Samoan CO.'S
tunes, sang Samoan song under
the direction of Golden Hale. Part
Of the stage in the amusement hall
was decorated with Samoan curios.
During the afternoon ice cream,

REPORT OF TOURIST
TRAVEL IN PARK
Tourist Travel Increase
l4,700 Over Last
Year

Favorable weather and road con-
ditions kept tourist travel to Yellow
stone National Park at the peak all
thru August. According to travel
figures announced by Horace M. Al
bright, superintendent of the park,
the total number of visitors for the
season up to September 1 has been
S9,667. This is 14.70O above the
seasonal total at the same date last
year.
The number of visitors to the
park during the month of August
alone was 3S.097. OF these 1917
came by rail and $3.50 by auto
mobile. The number of automobiles
entering the park in August was
1895.
The railroad travel was divided
among the several entrances to the
park as follows: North, 3474;
west, $500; east,21S5; south, "a.
The automobile travel thru the
several entrances was: North,
6S9S; west, 1881; east, S46S;
south, 1884.
Present indications, thanks to the
absence of early SHOWS or other un-
seasonal manifestations of ap-
preaching winter in the mountain
region, are that the tourist travel to
the park will reach the 100, 900
mark before the season closes on
September 20. In 1921-the heav-
lest travel year in the parks history
-81,651 visions came to the yell

st. Paul, January 24.-The farm
work horse is due to come back and
higher prices and q great shortage
likely are to prevail, according to NJ. j.
Holmberg, state commissioner of
agriculture. Many farmers have come
to the conclusions that horse breeding

few years." MI. Holmberg said "With
prices for feed and labor high, heavy
investments In tractors and relative.
ly low price for horses, farmers by ac-
tual experience have failed to make
satisfactory returns from growing
colts.
Statistics taken from the state as
SCISSORS records are interesting and in

more scarce in the future and higher
prices are likely to prevail.

while for 1921, the drop was more

With the number of colts raised re-

1917 to 1921, it may mean that the fu-
