ran a few steps up the road in the

cotton dress and sunbonnet from the
line she dashed into the nearest shed.
It was already occupied by a COW

They were so big that she could
draw them on over her own and then
with the bucket in hand she stepped
from the shed and quickly around it,

A gaping crowd OF country folk

LAMOE RETURNS
FROM TRIP EAST

Victor LaMOe, advertising manager
for the Chambers-Fisher company,
returned Wednesday afternoon from
an automobile trip to Wisconsin,
where he visited his parents and other
relatives and enjoyed a general good
time.
MIR. LaMoe, who was accompanied
as far as Des Moines by Miss Martha
Stevens and Miss Eunice Eagle, drove
east via the Custer Battlefield high
way, passing through Billings, Hardin,
Sheridan, Wyo., Mitchell, S. D., and
Des Moines, Iowa, to Eau Claire,
Wis, where his parents reside. Road
conditions on this route, he reported,
were excellent.
Returning via the Yellowstone
trail-St. Paul, Minneapolis, Aber-
deem, S. D.. and Billings-Mr. LaMoe
encountered tough going, especially
in South Dakota where seas of mud
made driving a hardship rather than
pleasure. He said also that the
trail in Montana was in far from
good condition, especially around Is
may and Miles City and between Bill
lings and Livingston.
