River won the first game by a score of 6
to 2. Monnett was on the slab for Lang
don and pitched an excellent game, Park
River only getting three hits off him,
but a pitcher alone cannot win a game
and we didn't win. But in the evening
game there was a different r'.tale to tell,
Every boy in a Langdon uniform was up
on his toes and played errorless ball.
This proved to be the best game played
here this season, and Langdon won by a
score of 4 to 2. When you take into con-
slderation the fact that the P. R. boys
have practically an all salaried team and
that Langdon's is an all home team it in
deed is a feather in our cap to break
even in the double-header of games
played last Thursday when the Park
River team came to Langdon.
On Monday the D. B. C's., of Fargo
who are touring the state came to Lang
don for a series of three games. The first
game was nothing more or less than a
runaway for Langdon boys the score at
the end of the ninth being 13:to l. The
good playing in the game was.all on the
one side as the score would indicate.
The second game on Tuesday afternoon
was a much closer n in fact very close
but our boys came out on top with the
big end of a 7 to 6 score. The third
game of the series, Tuesday evening
ended somewhat disasterously for the
home team. They got a late start and
darkness would not let them play out
the full nine innings. The score when
the game was called showed 7 to S in
favor of Fargo. Getting two out of
a series of three games with this fast
bunch is another feather in our cap.
Tomorrow, Friday afternoon Fairdale
is scheduled to play here. Fairda lie for
years past has had one of the real fast
ball teams in the northern part of the
state and they come here tomorrow to
pull some of those feathers. Lets all go
to the game and help the boys win, be-
cause it really does hurt to have feathers
pulled out. So far Langdon's ball team
has Won IL out of IA games played so far
this season.

One of the serious weeds is the
Canada thistle. 1t can be killed; but it
must be taken at the time when it is
weakest, which is when it is in blossom
as it has at that time drawn most
heavily on the food that it stores up in
it's roots. Ii it is cut and then plowed,
and plowed occasionally until fall so
that no thistle can get up it will be kill
ed. The success of this treatment will
depend q great deal upon its thorough
ness, as il they are allowed to get up
and get green they will get a fresh hold.
And II the treatment Ia begun too early
they will then have enough food left in
the roots TO carry them through o pretty
severe treatment
