Editor Fred L. johnson was in town
Saturday, having just returned from a
trip to Minot looking after the threshing
of his crop of fax there. The yield,
although Up to the average there, would
make only poor showing with records
made by Cavalier county fax growers
this year.
Western Cavalier county farm lands
have been bought up extensively the
past week OF two by farmers from Iowa,
who have been induced to come out here
by J. H. Mccullough. Seven farms
were disposed of during the week and

more quarter section farms from the

that Attorney Il. B. Doughty has left
Pessenden and formed partnership at

holds forth is known as the metropolis Of
Benson county. Many old friends here
will join in wishing him we'll.
Figures on farming profits this year
are obtainable on all hands this fall.
Land on which wheat was raised is
estimated to have netted the producer
from SO to SIS per acre; barley from $l4
to 1922 per acre; oats SIS per acre; flax
s25 per acre. At these figures farming
pays and much of the school lands sold
next week are likely to find home buyers.
Despite the fact that Langdon main
tains an electric light plant there are
numerous patrons of the Standard Oil

merchants, whose customers are CON-
planning suggest calling in the state oil
inspector and have the stuff tested.

The Baptists did good act when they
placed an electric light on the corner of
Spruce and Sixth streets, where their
church is located. The street lighting
of Langdon is something that has never
been adequate to the demands of the
public, especially when the facilities at
hand are taken into consideration.
Walking up town from any direction on
dark night has often been found
dangerously unpleasant. Proper light
ing OF the residence portion of the city
is something that ought to have been
provided by the authorities long ago.

Reports coming from the west and

much of the hay and grain destroyed in

Here with October drawing to close
farmers are doing the tallest kind of
hustling. The weather for nearly two
weeks he's been magnificent, contrary to
predictions Of Hicks, Foster and other

and considerable fall blowing done.
Facts and figures demonstrate that
Lanxdon outclasses all towns of Its size
for the amount of business done.
Freight shipments here for September
show 154 cars, and this doesn't include

tho same period last year the aggregate
was less than third of that amount.
Every person will do we'll to bear in
mind that the law provldesa severe pen

coed to advertise them at once. The
owner has to pay costs, as we'll as other

MR.. MURPHY AT FREEHOLD.
ADDRESSES THE MONMOUTH COUNTY
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Freehold. Oct. Z (SpeciaD.-The Republicans
Jersey here to-day. which is that there abso-
fall. The Monmouth County Republican Conven-
ton held in the courthouse here, and It was
dgnified by the presence of Franklin Murphy, OF
Newark The convention nominated for the As
sembly ex-Judge William T. Hoffman, of English
town; Somers T. Champion, of Atlantic Highlands.
and John A. Howland. of Long Branch.
The convention was called to order by DR.. John
w. Benrett, of Long Branch who announced that
the county executive committee had selected Ed
mund Wilson, of Red Bank. temporary chair
man of the convention and William S. Jackson, of
Belmar, secretary.
Franklin Murphy presented to the conven-
ton amid ringing cheers. Mr.. Murphy said he had
for years been a summer resident of Monmouth
County, and was, therefore, closely identified with
Its interests. He did not come to Freehold TO make
a speech, but to meet the voters. He hoped that
New-Jersey would roll up its biggest Republican
majority this fall, but do this from what he
knew Of the situation. the support of every Re-
publican voter would be required. He believed
Monmouth County was no longer Democrat TIC
county. Mr.. Murphy pictured the effect of big
Republican victory in New-Jersey this fall as
President, who, he said, stood for everything
loved by Americans. He thought doubling Demo-
Gratis had more reason to vote the Republican
ticket this fall than before.
The resolutions adopted by the convention rec
ogniZe the fact that the great heart OF the Amer-
people is to the core sound and patrlotlc, SO
fully evidenced by the manifestations OF sorrow
and indignation at the assassination of the Pres-
dent of the United States" and indorses the ma
tional and State administrations and the platform
adopted at the State convention at Trenton.
