What about Langdon having a market

What about Langdon having a market
day?
Don't fail to note the change in the
adv't of Parsons & Alpstag this week.
Will Langdon be represented at the
state tennis meet which opens at Grand
Forks next Monday, August 10th?
Is there anything doing in Langdon
to-day? No need to ask that question.
just spend an hour or two at the parish
picnic at the race track this evening.
Two local organizations that have
made good this summer and deserve
the encouragement Of every Langdon
citizen are the band and the base ball
team.
The Devils Lake ball team is under
stood as having decided to abandon its
idea of touring the state since the awful
w~alloping the Langdon boys handed it
this week.
The storm which passed over Lang
don and vicinity Friday evening is
reported to have wiped out the crops
near Morden, Man. Hail stones are
stated as having been found on the
ground the morning following the storm.
There was no hail here.
Langdon boys were again the star
actors in two games played Sunday with
Devils Lake, at the latter place in the
first game the score was Z to 5 and 2 to
O in the second. Devils Lake considers
itself about the only town in the north
.ern part of the state that knows how to
play "big league ball."
ct. Northern surveyors placed the
stakes in the railroad yards here this
week for the extension of the elevator
side track which will be extended to the
spur now running to the Crawford mill
The building of the Langdon farmers
elevator makes an addition to the length
of the elevator side track necessary,
The railroad company has advised
Agent Bolton that they are sending a
crew here to fence in the reservoir.
Later, when the large pile of shale ex-
cavated has been removed, it is the in
tention to plant shade trees around the
reservoir.
The Langdon ball team returned home
Monday about midnight from their
Devils Lake trip. having won three
games over there. Two on S~unday-one
in the afternoon Z 10 5 and another in
the evening 2 to 0. The shut-out game
Sunday evening aroused the ire of the
Devils Lake boys to the extent that a
third game was arranged for on Monday
This was also won by the Langdon
team, the score being Z to 5 Three
automobiles we're chartered for the
Devils Lake trip and the seventy-five
mile run and back was thoroughly en-
joyea by the entire %party-the fact of
having won all three of the games
played while over there adding to the
pleasure of the trip.
Friday of last week the Langdon ball
5eam broke even in the games it played
at the Calvin tournament. Its first
game with Clyde was won easily with a
score of 6 to 2, but the evening game
with Rock Lake, which had in the
meantime won from Brocket, did not
terminate quite as satisfactorily. Lang
don losing the game by a score of Z to 3.
1t was not so much a result OF poor
playing as the way in which the Rock
Lake team was strengthened up with
crack players picked from the other two
mines that had played in the tournament.
If Rock Lake had been satisfied to play
its own men against Langdon in the final
game it would not have had any license
to win. Langdon has the satisfaction
of knowing that it can plny and win a
game from Rock Lake any old time.
