novel experience of taking a hike up
to Askov Ga distance of 100 miles)
for visit over Sunday at their re-
spective homes. They left Minneapo-
lis at 1 p. m. Saturday and arrived
here p. m. Needless to say that
they were given a substantial lift,
in fact it figured out so that they
only walked miles. Going back to
Minneapolis they left Askov at p. m.
and arrived in the city at
$50 p. m. making even better time
than coming up. but then they were
given one lift" right after another

hiking.
