prize in the marriage lottery in
Langdon township and the beaux
are just dying to take chance.
According to the report of ]. B.
Egbert, assessor OF Langdon town
ship, filed this morning with county
assessor Conklin, there was not
marriage from March /, 1908 to
March l, 1909, in the township.
Even the leap year brought no re-
suits.
"Tbere is a genuine scarcity of
manageable girls in our neighbor-
hood" said Mr.. Egbert. "There is
superabundance of boys and be-
lieve that the spirit is willing, but,
as the market man would say, .'rhe
demand exceeds the supply" Let
all those gentle fairies who are pin
ing away on account of lonesome
ness move to Langdon township.
If the girls are alright, they don't
need any matrimonial agency book
ing.
"Of course" he admitted, "our
boys may be a little backward.
Some of them are very shy, / be-
heve, but just consider; they havn't
the practice in Cupid's wiles that
have made other boys post-gradu-
ates in love-making. However, l
look for several marriages in the
township In the next year."

port on the scarcity of manageable

the inquiry has been handed to Mr..

say? Just simply this, that the town
of Liberal has only an insufficient
system of waterworks. But more is
promised. Only himsy promise
of waterworks, and the town liable
to a million dollar fire any minute.
We do not know the object for the
information that the chief of the

presumed that he desires to know
how well the towns along the road
are protecting themselves from fire.
