1t Ia high time active steps were being
taken to raise the 500 ap@portioued to
Cavalier county for the purchase of the
silver service for the battIeship North
Dakota? The various towns over the
state are hustling their quotas and
Langdon and Cavalier county should do
something. The sum needed from this
county is not a large one. 1t has been
explained before, but the explanation
will bear repeating, that the amounts
assigned to each county were not fixed
arbitrarily, or at the caprice of any
person or committee, but were appor-
toned or the basis of assessed valuation,
This seemed the ~fairest way to reach an
a~pportionment, and everywhere it seems
to be considered satisfactory. The com
mittee will meet in Fargo on Oct. II tc
select designs for a service, and it is
hoped that the work can be awarded al
that meeting. There are evidences oil
hearty interest all over the state, auo
locally the contributions have reached ,
considerable sum without anything
more than q desultory canvass at ode
times during a day or two.
