Run your bananas thru the tanning
mill and the returns will come in
luscious fruit after this cold blanket
Of snow has evanished like a dream
Of the low-vaulted past. Plant hogs
while there is yet time and the mess
pork will watt you a welcome from
the Kitchen range when the hog-kill-
Ing time is over. Turn your calves
out to pasture when the croucuses be-
gin to bloom and the happy lowing of
when the old hen wants to set, get
busy and help her, and the voices Of
her Increasing brood will resound in
4 joyous cackle that shall be heard
around the world. Make this commu-
nifty hot-bed for the nurturing Of in
FAINT industries and your rewards will
appear in the census returns Of 1910.
Tares can not grow where seeds of
optimism are sown and the voice of
the pessimist can not be heard when
every cheerful soul lifts his voice in
the good old song of praise.

City Dads Inspect Sidewalks

Langdon sidewalks. both in the

have determined to give the closest
possible attention this summer. With
this end in view the committee on
streets, consisting of Aldermen Brosna-

of inspection through every portion of
the city, making their report to the
council at a special meeting called to
consider the matter Tuesday evening,

Big Street Carnival Program

Langdon isn't going to celebrate the
Fourth of July this year andthis will
give some of the smaller towns in the
county all the opportunity they need to
make the eagle scream and pull out it's
tail feathers. All idea of a July 4th
celebration was given a q%uietus at the
meeting held last night by Langdon
business men who have the project in
hand of holding a series of street carni-
walls this summer. Sufficient Roadway
had been made by the committee in
whose hands the matter was left at the
last meeting to enable the announcing
this week of the program of attractions
for the three carnivals to be held in
June. Already over $500 has been con-
tributed for the carrying out of the pro-
gram on these three dates, and the
money all stays in the county as the
attractions are all of a local character.
The first carnival will be on June 10th
and 18th, when $3.50 will be divided in
prizes for amateur sports consisting of
foot races, jumping, tug-of-war and
other athletic events. In addition to
this there will be a street parade gotten
up n representing the various trades
and industries of Langdon with plenty
of music by the band both days and a
dance each evening for those who enjoy
themselves that way.
The second carnival dates are June
18th and 18th, which will contain as the
main attraction a band tournament.
open to Cavalier county bands only. A
purse of 5000 is to be divided among the
winners. The Langdou band is not to
be a contestant, and as there are not
less than a dozen bands in the outside
towns of this county the band tourna.
ment certainly should prove quite an
attraction.
June 18th and Goth are the dates of
the last of the street ~carnivals to be
given by Langdon in that month when
another purse of 5000 will be hung up
to be contested for in a Cavalier county
base ball tournament-all Langdon
teams barred. This event is set back as
the last number so as to give the base
ball clubs of the county time to get
each others measure and also have time
In which to perfect their line up.
Further details as to each of these
programs will be given from week to
week during the carnival season.
