CHILDREN NEED
VERY BEST ROADS
Bad Highways Prevent Regular
Attendance at School.
SOCIAL GATHERINGS A TASK.
National Grange Is Urged to Work
For Better Highways as Help to
Youngsters and Greater Interest In
Church and Civic Improvement.

One Of the advantages that good
roads are to a community that are often
lost sight Of is the prevention Of chill
dren attending school regularly, thus
furthering the ambition Of every par
ent that his or her child shall be well
educated, and another is the proven
ton Of social intercourse, which is
only fully developed when the going"
is easy over well cared for highways.
In an article written for the national
grange by Logan Waller Page he says:
''The advantages Of good roads ex

Breed to Tyne.

Promiscuous crossbreeding never
leads to desirable results. 1t is only
by persistent clinging to the charac-

Youngsters Should Be Dipped Before

We always have more lice on fall

Sudden Death of Frank Moran

Saturday afternoon at about four
o'clock when it became known that
Frank Moran was dead the shadow of a
deep gloom fell over the City of Lang
don. The sad news came with the great
or shock because as late as the evening
of the day previous he had been seen
around town enjoying his usual health.
The passing away of Frank Moran was
due to an attack of apoplexy with which
he was seized at about noon of the day
on which he died in the afternoon at
halt past three o'clock Preceding this,
however. he had complained during the
forenoon of suffering from indigestion.
which of late years had become chronic.
1t was not until about noon that the
true nature of Mr.. Moran's critical con-
dition was known and the fact dawned
upon the wife and attending physician
that the battle for the life of the sufferer
was one being fought against big odds.
Frank Moran was general favorite with
the people here in Langdon and where
ever he was known and the announce
ment Saturday afternoon that he was no
more was indeed hard for his many old
friends to believe
Mr.. Moran had been resident of
Langdon since the town first started in
1887 and for five years prior to that time
had lived at Bathgate, in Pembina county
He first came to Dakota from Qnebec in
1879 and homesteaded claim in this
county in the early eighties. The birth
place OF Mr.. Moran was at small town
known as Moore's Corners in Quebec,
the event having taken place fifty-six
years ago, and by personal thrift and in
dustry during career in which the
principles of square honest dealing we're
always uppermcst he had accumulated
means and property that had enabled
him to enjoy life of comfortable retire
ment for some years back.
For nine years past, since January,
16, 1901, at which time occurred his mar
riage to Mrs. Jennie Dobie at Bathgate,
Mr.. Moran has thoroughly enjoyed home
life and his traits of character we're
such that he can truthfully be said to
have loved his home 1t is difficult to
= realize that the hearty hand grasp and
CHEEKY greeting of Frank Moran will no
more be experienced by his friends. He
; was man who set good example for
his fellow man throughout life.
> The funeral held Monday forenoon
from st. Alphonsus church was an event
largely attended by sorrowing friends
; though in keeping with the oft expressed

Probability at Your Age Of How Long

After we are dead it probably will
not concern us whether we dled at
twenty or fifty or ninety. but just now
most Of us are intensely interested In
the matter, and, being average per-
sons in sound health, we can figure out
with certainly just what our chances
are Of reaching any particular age,
says Harper's Weekly.
If we are just 20 years of age, our
chances OF living to or beyond 80 are
nearly IL to l; Of living to be 40, 5Ss
to l; to be 50. to l; to be 60, l % to
/. OF living to. be 20 we have less
than l chance in 212; to be 80. less
than chance in So. and to be 80, less
than 1 chance in 100.
If we have reached 80, our chances
to reach 40 are nearly II to l; to be
SO, nearly Az to l: to be 60, rs to l;
to be 20, "A chances in 10; to be 80,
1 chance in 51a; to be 80. chance in
100.
The average man of 40 has S3s
chances to / Of reaching his fiftieth
60. only 5 chances out of 10 of reach
ing 20, l chance in 5ss Of reaching so,
and 1 chance in 100 Of becoming 80.
Having been lucky in all the draw
fngs up to fifty years. the average man
has AS chances to l of becoming GO;
to become 20 the chances are IA to
in bis favor; to become so he has but
chance in and to become 80 1 chance
in 100.
If already 60 the average citizen has
chances to l OF becoming 70,
chance in of becoming 50 and
chance in &C of reaching 80.
The man Of 20 has 3 chances in of
becoming so and l in 50 of becoming
90.
If one has weathered the storm until
his eightieth birthday he has l chance
in II of reaching his ninetieth mile
post.
1t will be observed that as we get
older our chances of reaching 80 in
crease greatly.
