GRIZZLIES HAVE
BEST SHOW

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.
G.N.SO.-The greatest wild ami
NAL show in America is provided
here by so big grizzly bears which
appear nightly at the bear feed
ing grounds in the park.
The big bruins have completely
monopolized the feeding grounds,
driving away the black bears
which used to frequent the place
in large numbers.
Each evening, promptly at 6:45
as promptly as though they
kept time-the grizzlies gather.
They waddle slowly across a
clearing to reach the feeding
grounds. Cubs, mother bears, q
year-olds, and big "he" bears,
they come in small groups, growl-
ing a bit at the tourists who
gather to watch the show, and
then settle down to dinner
In order to prevent disaster,
watchers are kept behind a high
fence, through which they watch
the feeding, and government
ranger, with a high-powered rifle,
supervises the performance.

BALLAD FOUND

KINGSTON, N. M. U.N.S0.
I'm the Baggage Car Ahead" is
a ghost ballad 'now-but it lived
once. Kingston is ghost town,
now-but it lived once. too.
And the ballad and the ghost
town still live for Mike Moffitt.
For the little old man, his
weather-browned face lined with
the wrinkles of time and sorrow,
was the inspiration of In the
Baggage Car Ahead"
In 1890 Mike and his tiny
daughters, Helen, just two, and
Irene, only three months, were
taking Mixes wife back to Penn
Sylvania, to bury her.
Among the passengers was Fay
Templeton-the actreSs-on her
way, with her troupe, back to
New York.
And among them was a song
writer. It was he who wrote, I'm
the Baggage Car Ahead"-the
song hit of the time.
Now Mike lives with his
memories in Kingston.
