Bismarck on this subject. The hear
inEs will open at Aberdeen on Feb

GLENDIVE PLANS
FOR CORN SHOW

Gfendive, Mont, Jan. 25--To make
Dawson County, Montana, not only
the leading corn and hog center of
the state is the ambitious program
which was outlined at q recent meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Glendive Chamber of Commerce.
This too, despite the fact that this
territory is already recognized as Il
splendid corn country and also that
dul1ng the past few years its de-
vclopmcnt in the hog industry has
been very great. As beginning il,
this movement, the board voted to
put up $i,y0o.0O in prizes for Il corn
growing contest. The first prize to
consist of $4,000 in cash, the second,
$4,000 and the third $4,000 to-
gcthcr with amounts ranging down
to $1,000 for other winners. The
premiums arc to be awarded to the
best 20 acres Of dent corn of any
variety grown within the borders of
Dawson County. Other merchandise
premiums will also be offered, and
it is probable that establishments
who 1--we branches in Glendive and
who might be interested in the agri-
Ncultural development of it's trade

A Goat That PlOws
E. P. Gates Garden is Willingly
Cultivated by Billy

There is a plowing goat in
Chapel Hill. He belongs to E.
P. Cate the jeweler, who says
that, for a vegetable garden,
he is as serviceable as a horse
and much cheaper to maintain.
Icame across Mr.. Cate leading
the goat through the vacant lot
by the Pope furniture store.
Both of them seemed sociable,
so l joined them in a walk. After
a while we went to the goats
home, the stable in the jewler's
back yard. There + inspected a
plow, a tooth harrow, and a cut
away harrow, all of a size suit
able for a goat.
Never having heard of plow-
ing goat, naturally l was curious
as to the origin of the habit,
and | questioned the owner.
"Well, it just came to me one
day." said Mr.. Cate. Il had got
the goat and a wagon for the
children, but as soon as the
novelty wore off they didn't
take any interest in driving. l
noticed the animals big strong
launches, and it occurred to me
that he might as well help cul-
tivate my garden. So l took part
of an old hose reel and made a
plow out of it. The goat took
to the job willingly almost from
the first. Later | tried him with
the harrows, and he seemed to
like them too. Every year l do
the first breaking of the ground
with a horse, but after that, all
through the gardening season,
the goat and l do it all. He's
eight years old and still going
strong. He never seems to want
to eat any of the vegetables. !
leave him alone with 'em any
time, but he doesn't touch 'em
Despite the notion some people
have that goats will eat any
thing, this ones hunger seems
to be quite satisfied by the reg
ular meals that | lay before
him."

Y. M. !. COMES
HERE SATURDAY
Big Crowd Expected to Attend
Game Between Carolina
and Cadets.
CLOSE CONTEST LIKELY

The Virginia Military Insti-
tute football team will come
here Saturday to meet Carolina
on Emerson Field. This is the
most important game of the sea-
son in Chapel Hill, and Gradu-
ate Manager of Athletics. C.
T\Woollen and his assistants
are making preparations for a
monster crowd.
For several years these two
institutions have met in Rich
mond; but, because the Carroll
ma students and alumni were
eager to have a better home
grounds schedule in years when
Virginia did not play here, it
was decided to bring the cadets
to Chapel Hill. Another factor
in the decision was the evidence
that games here were drawing
crowds enough to make the
event just as profitable financi-
ally in Chapel Hill as in Rich
mond.
Early Saturday morning
automobile parties will be start
ing for Emerson Field from
cities, towns, and villages all
over North Carolina, and be-
tween ten and two o'clock eight
or ten thousand people may be
expected to pour into town over
the three main highways-from
Durham, from Hillsboro, and
from Pittsboro. Policemen, some
of them recruited from outside
for the day, with student as
Sistants, will direct the traffic
and guide the motorists to the
carefully laid out parking spaces.
The chief basis of comparison
of the two teams is the games
that they have played with the
North Carolina State College,
State lost to each by a margin
of 10 points, the, scores being
Carolina 10, State 0, and V. M.
l. II, State 7. This indicates that
Saturdays match will be close.
No other team but State has
played both Carolina and V. NJ.
