The Langdon. Sundiaes played the
Goats on the Nekoma diamond a week
ago and proved their strength, defeating
the Goats by a score of 6 to 3. Nekoma
boys played good ball but the Langdon
bunch proved too heavy for them.
Monday was another of the hot June
days of 1910, the mercury in the thermo-
meter registering 1902 in the shade and
most any old thing in the sun. An un-
usually warm night followed the lowest
temperature after nightfall being I'll.

Enumeration Jas. Reid completed the
school census of Langdon city last
Saturday. The complete returns show
that the city has a school population,
between six and twenty years of age,
numbering 397, against 1884 in 1908.
Thus according to the usual computation
of one-ffth would place Langdon's total
population at this time at 1885.
Tomorrow is st. Jean Baptiste Day
over at Olga; at Nekoma 1t is the day of
their big base ball tournament; here in
Langdon it is the opening day of the
two days carnival given here by the
Sarver Bros, street carnival company.
This ought to furnish enough attraction
for tho people of the surrounding
neighborhood for one day anyhow.
Tomorrow, June Gath, the four lead
ing restaurants of Langdon, will all
raise the price of meals served to
thirty-five csnts. Heretofore the price
has been a quarter OF a dollar, but in Or
der to keep their bills of fare up to their
: present excellent standard find them
selves compelled to raise the price to
t%hirty-tive cents. They are today paying
a higher price than a year ago for every
thing on the market while it is almost
impossible to secure help at any price.
Miss Florence P1inyer, the organizer
of the Langdon chapter of the American
Woman's League returned Wednesday
last week from St. Louis, fairly brim
full of chapter house news of a character
that was bound to dispel any doubts
that may have been entertained by the
most skeptical that Langdon will have
a chapter house next year. of which
every citizen may feel proud, 70 state
it briefly the news is to the effect that
the new chapter house will be built and
finished this fall. The fact that the
local organization was able to secure
title to a site in a location asked by the
head officers of the league in st. Louis
no doubt had much to do with the
favorable outcome to the interview
which Miss Prinyer and other members
of the local league had with President
Lewis while in St Louis. When Miss
Prinyer reached home on Wednesday
she found that the plans and specifica-
lions had reached here.
