On This Day | Facing a Grave Situation in Minot
Author
MinotVoice
We are facing a grave situation at the present time from the growing number of rats that are infesting this section of the state. Within the past two years the number has increased from an occasional specimen found usually near the railroads until the present time when it is the exception for a single firm to be without a few of these rapacious pests. Steps should be taken at once to rid the country of rats, and every effort made to head them off before it is too late.
