Tractor and Sled Solve Blocked Line Problem

Cottonwood Falls, Kan. —When the recent heavy snow fall blocked the electric line between this city and Strong City, Frank Hoel, living here, quickly solved the transportation problem. He attached his big tractor to a big sleigh, 18 feet long, and carried passengers between the two towns. From eighteen to thirtyfive people were accommodated on each trip.
