Friday evening last week the interest
of Langdon society was centered on
the celebration of the thirtieth an

the number of over one hundred and
fifty, gathered to celebrate the auspic.

evening were further added to by the
rendering of appropriate songs by Mrs.
Ober, and the Misses LaBelle and
Ruth Mahon, Misses Donalda and Min.
ME Finerty and Miss Mary Robertson.
On behalf of the assembled guests Rev.

Dakota university in Cavalier county on
the occasion of their annual reunion
this year gave the event an especial
appropriateness by inviting the people
of Langdon and vicinity to hear a
lecture given by Prof Vernon P. Squires
of the university faculty in the high
school building, The subject of the
lecture was "The History and Develop
ment of Our State University" The
lecturer was introduced to his audien CO
by Mr.. James Austin, of Hannah, and
for upwards an hour and half enter
tainingly told of the early day struggles
and gradual upbuilding of an institution
which today is the pride of every North
Dakotan. The lecture was given an
added interest by views showing the
university buildings, those who for up
wards quarter of century have aided
its development and those of its students
in the long ago who today have attained
places of prominence in public life in
this and other states. All those present
evinced a great interest in the lecture.
At later hour the same evening
reception was rendered Prof. Squires by
the alumni society and Co. Supt Helen J.

the senior class of the Langdon high

These expectations were not realized, however, and for the greater part of thu short session prices held steady, although within a narrow range, and at the close many more net gains were shown than net losses, the changes in both cases being. as rule, not larger than fractions. The standard railway issues were comparatively quiet, most of them declining fractionally on the day. aR did also Steel common.

HOME RUN MAKERS.
J. Franklin Baker Net the Only Orig lnal Circuit cIouter.

Tn the eight modern worlds series, played between National and Ameri- can pennant winners since 1903, only twelve aome runs have been made and nearly every one of them made base ball history. Eight of thes circuit clouts were driven out by American league batsmen, while the other four of necessity flew from the war clubs of National league warriors. The worlds series home runnists are as follows:
 19O3-Pat Dougherty, Boston Red Sox, 2; Cy Sebring. Pittsburgh, 1.
 1904-No series.
 l905-No home runs made.
 1907-No homo runs made
 1908-Joe Tinker Cubs, 1.
 1909-FTed Clarke, Pittsburgh, 2; Davy Jones, Detroit, 1; Sam Craw- ford, Detroit, 1,
 1910--Danny Murphy, Athletics, 1.
 1911-Frank Baker, Athletics, 3; Rube Oldring, Athletics, l.
 1t may be seen from the above table that Frank Baker is not the only athlete who drove out two circuit clouts in a worlds series, as Pat Dousherty, the former BridgeporLer made two merry -go-round slams in 1903, and Fred Clarke turned the trick six years afterWard. But 1t is doubt Hul fl any pair of home runs ever made as much baseball history as the two sent out by the Athletics crack third sacker last fall.
 Pat Dougherty, however. has the honor of being the only man to pole out two home runs in q modern worlds series contest. Pat was nearly the whole show of the second game in 10A2 h Red Sox beat the Pirates by score of to 0. Two of the Beantown tai. liss were the result of Dougherty's homers. Sebring made a homer 1T ! the first game of the 1903 worlds series, but as Pittsburgh beat Bostor by a score of to 3, Cy's homer hac i little effect an the final result No home run in a worlds series was made after Dougherty's secOnf 1 homer in 1903, until 1908. when Jot l Tinker, with the aid of a good breeze | lifted enc of Wild Bill Donovan: l shoots into the right field bleachers l at the Cub@ grounds in Chicago, The l blow nearly broke Wild BilPs heart ani WAS without doubt the mos 1 damaging ciout ever garnersd of Don. oVah's delivery, Tinker made his ia. 1 nous WallOp in the eighth inRing O l the seeond game, when Detroit wa!

Purity Lecture by pr. lucille James
 at Congregational Church.


 The purity lecture, Sunday after noon at the Taftville Congregational church, under the auspices of the Norwich W, C. T. U., was well at tended.
 Dr. James called the attention of the women to the neel of instruction of cur boys and girls along the line 0f sex hygiene. In answer to the question: When should such training begin.' she said: When the child is old enough 10 think and ask questions along this line. it $ old enough to understand the simple truth it is seek ing, and should be told the truth rath- CT thar falsehood or have it's questions evaded. The mother should prepare herself to answer the little one on this subject as carefully as she does along other lines.
 Wien instruction is begun early, it is easy for the mother to keep the confidence of her child. while post poncmant almost always leads to loss of confidence as the child learns these sacred truths from impure sources.
 A letter from a schoolbOy l6 years of age, stating immoral conditions in public schools was read and proved the need of careful home instructions Dr. James said: Fathers as well as mothers arc responsible Ior the con- duct of their children. and to the fla ther should fall the duty Of iGstructing the boys as they grow up. The earli- est teaching nearly always dCvolves upon the mother because of her closer association with the child.
 Prayer was offered by Mrs. Donald MaeLane. Appropriate hymns were selected and a solo. If l Were Voice. was rendered by Miss Marjorie Volk- man, accompanied by Miss Ruth Breckenridge Cn the piano.
