Langdon is trying the experiment of
holding by weekly carnivals with the
idea that these will make the merchants
so popular that the people who attend
them will want to trade in Langdon
right along. And it is possible that
there is a considerable in this idea. It
is true that the people like to be amused,
aud when they can be amused and tran
sa business at one. and the same time,
they will be. very apt to take that direc-
ton when they wish to make purchases.
Any town might well try some kind Of
an attraction as there is nc question as
to the result. OF course it need not be
in the line of a carnival, but something
simpler and less expensive would work
we'll in the smaller towns. Free base
ball games, foot ball or sport Of any
kind is an attraction that will / ull every

Gust Harmed, whose farm is twelve
miles west of Langdon, told the DEMO-
GRAFT while in town the other day that
he had about come to the conclusion
that pigs can live longer on a starvation
diet than any other farm stock he knows
OF. Last fall at threshing time he lost
six young pigs in a straw stack. After
being missing two days two of the pigs
made their way out from under the straw
in response to his call. On the fourth
day he dug out three more, all of which
were dead, being suffocated. At that
time he decided to give up the search for
the remaining pig, supposing that it's
fate had been similar to that of the three
he dug out. Early this spring, in March,
four months after the pigs were lost, he
found the remaining pig while loading
straw at the stack. 1t was alive though
reduced to almost a shadow but is now
in as good a condition as any pig he has
on the place, in spite of having lived for
four months on next to nothing under
the straw stack.
