road for the season. His leaving Lang

The vacation period for the Langdon

studies. In Langdon the city schools
open Monday and the youngsters will

is somewhat changed by designations

Langdon take a pardonable pride in the
educational advantages offered by the
different institutions of the city. The
opportunities for the youth are many
and the reputation of Langdon in that
