The Langdon postoffice has received
stock OF the new Mckinley post cards.
The new card is the same size as the old
one, but has several distinctive and
unusual features. The lettering, the
wording OF which is changed, isl almost
in the middle OF the card instead of at
the top, In order to leave the space..for
cancellations. In the upper left hand
corner, which heretofore was blank, is
an eagle. The stamp is bust OF Nc

his birth and death, in place OF the head
only OF an American statesman. The

1t is source OF satisfaction to learn
that a farmer from the western part OF
Cavalier county, was awarded the best
and most coverted prizes in the live
stock exhibit at the Walsh county 'agri-
cultural fair held at Park River three
days last week. Jas. Austin, OF Hannah,
had on exhibition at the fair horses,
cattle, pigs and poultry aud the excel
lency OF his stock is attested by the fact
that the judges awarded him fourteen
first and ten second prizes. Mr.. Austin
took down from his stock farm at Han
nah exhibits OF thoroughbred cattle,
hogs and poultry that filled car, and
gave western Cavalier countya reputa-
ton at the fair that will do much to at
tract the attention OF Valley farmers to
this section in the future. There are
dozens OF farmers throughout the coun-
ty we could name who are as prominent
ly identified with the stock raising
branch OF farming as Mr.. Austin and the
holding in this county OF an agricultural
and live stock fair each year would do
much to interest the many other farmers
who would go more into stock raising if
they had the opportunity to see the fine
results attained by those who diversity
their crops and make money the year
round by raising we'll bred cattle. 1t
shoudn be necessary forCavalier coun-
ty stock breeders to go off to some other
part Of the state to exhibit. There is u
splendid opportunity to illustrate in this
instance the imperative necessity that
exists for Cavalier county people having
an annual agricultural and live stock fair
of it's own. The position is one on
which the farmer and the business man
should unite. All the surrounding coun-
ties and our ncighbors across the line
have for several years held highly sue
ccssiul fairs. Wehave exhibits that take
the prizes away from home and an op.
portunity should be given them right
here. Let's get into the game quick.
