In all probability Langdon is one of
the best organized towns-politicalIy-
OF any in the state.
Threshing would have been hall done
at this time had the weather remained
fine for the past two weeks.
Light damage by hail is reported to
have occurred in nearly every section OF
the county during the past week.
Thursday. Sept, 9th and the prairie
is now as green as in the month OF June
in an ordinary year. \ good deal more
like early summer than early fall.
Harvest hands are not nearly as
numerous here this fall as in years past
and the few coming in on the train each
day are being offered Jobs as they step
off the cars.
The downpour of rain Tuesday after
noomand yesterday measured over one
and three-quarter inches on the level.
Threshing in consequence has been aban-
doned until next week.
The occasional showers of this week
have greatly discouraged the farmer
who has had such an uphill job raising
a crop this year and is now trying to
thresh what little he has got.
Last nights minimum temperature
registered at 80, five degrees above
freezing. The heavy dew that fell during
the night is probably all that saved
uncut crops from light frost.
OF the twenty odd war veterans Of
-Cavalier county Comrade Issac Coles, OF
Yang was the only one that took in
the annual reunion of the old soldiers
that was held at Chicago last week.
That Mckinley club organized at Han
nah last week is understood to represent
the entire western part OF the county.
Petitions being circulated in the different
sections for several DAYS previous to
organization.
Monday was Labor Day and the
banks OF the city observed it as hoi-
day. In legal sense it is not a holiday
in North Dakota the bill making it such
being killed in the Legislature, owing to
the fact that it comes during the
harvest.
A party OF score ormore OF the young
friends OF John Mooney were entertained
Monday evening at the family home, it
being the eve OF the departure OF himself
and several other OF Langdon's young
people who left on Tuesdays train to
take up their studies at different schools
in the east. The affair went off in the
usual successful and enjoyable manner.
All douht is removed as To the lepal
voting place OF the holder OF government
land by SecGS9S OF the Revised Codes OF
1895, which reads that: Cali those
who have filed on homesteads outside OF
the precinct in which they reside, all
who have proved up on. their claims
less than six months ago are debarred
by the statute from participating in
political caucuses projections other than

ing established bv the holding OF home
stead.
The Ct. Northern is making an i'm
portant change in the arranging OF it's
system OF signal lights this fall, taking
effect with the first OF the present month,
and which all who live in the vicinity OF
the railroad property will do well to
familiarize themselves with. Heretofore
the road has displayed but two colors-
red for danger and white for safety
The new code will require the display
OF green for safety, white for caution and
red for danger,
