Postmaster John McGauvran asks
that attention of the patrons of Langdon
post Office be directed to the fact that
the department does not allow the mail
ing of fancy postal cards, ornamented
with glazed or gilt Distinguishing the
card a rough t~inish-unless the cards
are properly enclosed in envelopes.
Quite a number of such cards mailed
here have been returned to the Langdon
Office. The postal laws are very strict
in this matter.
Langdon residents cannot be too care
full at this season of the year about
locking their doors and securing window
fastenings when leaving their homes,
and the same advise applies equally to
business houses. Just at the present
time and until the setting in of cold
weather the state is being infested by a
horde of sneak thieves and hold up
artists, who under the guise of harvest
hands are making the northwest their
annual visitation.
Our new serial story, the opening
chapters of which will appear in next
weeks paper, is entitled Satan Sander
son." an intense, virile story, demonstrate
ing dramatically the truth OF the old
saying, "as a man soweth so shall he
reap" 1t is a story that grips, holds
and fascinates. Two men, one strong,
the other weak, and one noble woman
are the leading characters pictured in
this great story. The story Satan
Sanderson" has properly been called the
story of a thousand thrills. Don't miss
reading the opening chapters in our
next weeks issue.
Superintendent Dan j. Ridlington, of
the city schools, in addition to his
scholastic duties has since the opening
of the fall term taken up the duties of
athletic director. On Saturday forenoon
the first move toward organization of a
football team was taken and by the
time that real foot ball weather sets in
quite a creditable line up among the
bigger boys may be looked for. Other
sports in which Langdon is hoping to be
represented at the lnterscholastic state
meet next spring, including the running,
jumping and hammer throwing events,
will be taken up by the boys during the
balance of the open weather season.
The high school girls have already taken
steps toward the reorganization of their
basket ball team.
