The Burns celebration will be held as
usual in Langdon on Wednesday
Jan 25th, 1911. The committees have
all been appointed and complete arrange
ments are being made for bigger and
better celebration than ever. Owing to
last years crop failure several of the
other towns in the state will not cele-
brate this year aud this gives Langdon
better opportunity to engage talent
that they otherwise would not be able to
secure. The usual concert banquet and
ball will be given. Individual invita-
tions will be sent only to those outside of
Cavalier county but all those living in
this county are invited and expected to
be present and render their assistance.

Length of Presidents Messages.

If brevity is the soul Of wit some of
our presidents cannot be said to pos
sess very considerable amount Of
spiritual humor. AS the years go on
presidents messages appear to length
en-. Some of President RooseVelt's
compositions to congress were regard
ed as inordinately long, but President
Taft has just submitted one that beats
the record. More than 10000 words
are contained in Mr.. Taft's message.
If published in book form this essay
would make Il volume of respectable
size-not a book Of novel length, but
certainly one of large novelette, pro-
portions.
If presidents messages were as in
teresting as novelettes perhaps it
would be we'll to have them of the
Taftian length. But they are not of
such engaging qualities, and in the
nature Of things they cannot be, no
matter how aptly worded, how elo-
they may touch upon matters of i'm
mediate interest to all the people.
Were the messages Of average high
class fiction interest they might be
published in serial form by the news
papers, and in that shape they would
be welcomed by editors and readers
alike. AS it is they must be boiled
down to the ultimate limit before the
average newspaper can accommodate
the remains of a message.
Comparatively few of the biggest
newspapers printed Mr.. Taft's recent
message unabridged. Many of the
smaller papers issued nearly all of 1t
in supplement- form, but probably most
Of the editors as we'll as majority OF
the readers, wished most devoutly
that the soul Of wit had had a hand in
it's making.

Gagging the Orator.

The Swiss understood the art of pub
lie dinners in the eyes Of some per-
sons there is however. one drawback
the after dinner speeches are inter-
minably long. In bygone days the
people of Berne seem to have awak-
ened to Il sense of the infliction Of
long after dinner speeches. and they
hit upon plan. which is observed to
this day, for the purpose of cutting
orators short when they become too
long. A man wearing bears skin
stands near the speaker, and if the
latter becomes prosy and wandering
and drawn out in his remarks then the
bear advances very gravely and just
lays it's claws upon the orators mouth.
This method has never failed so far

AN OLD PIONEER GONE
Passed to the Great Beyond at the
Ripe Old Age Of Ninety-two VI

Another old pioneer has gone to his
last resting place, when on Monday even
ing at 1890 at the home of his grandson
G. G. Crawford, the spirit of Mr.. John
Wheelon passed to the great beyond at
the ripe old age of 81 years, three months
and fourteen days.
John Wheelon was born in the County
of Armagh, in the town of Down, Ireland,
on September 10, 1918. His parents,
who were Scotch, from Edinburgh, re-
turned to their native land soon after
his birth, where he was educated and
lived until moving to America at the age
of about II. With the exception of q
few years spent in Glengarry, Canada,
the deceased has lived continuously in
the United States, making his home in
New York state until about 1886, NOV
ing to Superior, Wis, where after a
residence of ten years, the death Of his
beloved wife occurred. At this time, he
moved to Langdon, Cavalier county,
where he made his home with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Joseph Crawford, and his
grandson,C. @. Crawford Of Calvin.
His life was an ideal one for truth and
honesty Of purpose, abhoring anything
leading from the straight line Of yirtue;a
member Of the Presbyterian church
since boyhood days. All who came in con-
tact with him were impressed with his
maryslous memory and keen recollec-
ton Of events Of nearly century ago,
as we'll as his knowledge Of current
events, being agrsat reader. In politics
lfhsiwas q stauach dsmocrat, having voted

Presbyterian Church Notes.
BY Rev. f. J. H1pBARp. Pastor.

BY REV. f. j. HIBBARD, Pastor.
The boys and young men of the Pres
byterian church and Sunday school have
organized Society of the Holy Grail in
three grades. Those of nine to twelve
years are known as Pages of the Grail;
those from twelve to fifteen years are
Esquires of the Grail and those from
fifteen years up are Knights of the Grail.
The knights meet every Tuesday even
ing at 7:3O in the basement of the
church for an hours program of varied
character; following that is an hour or
so of games and social intercourse. The
pages meet at 4:15 on Tuesday afternoon
and the Esquires at 7:3O on Wednesday
night, under the same arrangement
varied as to ages.
The Presbyterian Sunday school has
been somewhat reorganized and the
beginners. primary and junior classes,
now use the graded lessons. DR.. Nc
Queens adult Bible class, now studying
the Revelation, meets at 3p. No., each
Sunday and is open to all.
The session of the church has planned
to commence the annual pre-cem-
munion services Sunday night January
Goth, to continue for a week at least.
This announcement is made that all may
have these services IN mind in making
social and business plans. The pastor
will be alone in conducting these services
as no outside help has been secured and
will therefore rely on the church for it's
support and cordially invites the entire
community to be present when not
engaged in services elsewhere.
The organization of different depart
ments of the church is now in splendid
condition. The choir is under the
efficient training of Judge f. W..
| Bleakley as leader and Miss Winifred
| Ferguson as organist lends an added In
terest to services. A cordial welcome
awaits all not worshipping elsewhere.

can't vote. Better take advantage
of the opportunity if you have not
done so already, and be at the polls

in your ward. If you do not take
interest enough in the election to
come out and exercise your right at

election is over because things did
not come the way you would have
liked. Come out and VOTE, then,

let us forget about them, and all
get together for a greater and more

This is an off year in municipal
politics, and the majority do not
think it of great Importance, be-
cause only three aldermen are to be
elected, one from each ward. AS a
matter of fact this election is OF
the greatest importance The men,
bers of the city council have COM
ing up before them one of the
6 reatest municipal undertakings
ever handled in Whitefish. We
might say greater than the water
works, because it will involve more
money. The people should take a
keen interest in this election, be-
cause it means that with the build
ing of the sewer system thousands
of dollars OF the city funds will be
spent. which comes first out of the
pockets of the people. The people
should use their very best judgment
in casting their vote, and it should
be cast for the man who they con-
scientiously believe will act for the
best interests of the city, not allow
ing personal prejudices to interfere
with his honest judgment.
