APPLIES FOR STATE AID

School MOI in the Novi Hradec district
Is the first rural school in Stark county to

aid. The state has set aside certain
sum of money each year to be appor-
toned to the schools complying with
certain requirements. such as the grade
of teacher, attendance OF pupils. Ii
brary. sanitation, agriculture in school
and many other things. The object of
this is more to encourage rural schools.
giving the children Of the country an
education more on par with those of
the towns.
The Taylor village school was the only
school in Stark county. to make appli-
cation for this aid last year and this
school in the Novi Hradec district is
the second in the county and the first of
the rural schools to make an effort to
classify and receive the apportionment
that the state is willing to give to the
district.
Otto Kauer of Richardton is the
teacher of this school and holds a first

CASEY IS IN the RACE
FOR U. S. DISTRICT ATTY.

Fargo Forum, December 4:-The dem
ocrats may select man from the west
ern part Of the state for the next United
States district attorney in the person
of Tobias D. Casey, prominent lawyer
of Dickinson. instead of Fargo bar
rister as has usually been the custom.
Mr.. Casey was in the city today and
this morning was seen at the Gardner
hotel. Several of his friends were
present and asked him about his candi-
dacy for the post. He did not deny
that he would accept the position of U.
S. attorney if President-elect Wilson
rendered it to him.
The Dickinson attorney is one of the
most prominent democrats in the west
ern part of the state and it is generally
felt that that part of the country is en-
titled to some recognition when it
comes to division of the spoils by the
democrats after March 4th next. Mr..
Casey is a member of the state game
and fish and board of control and for
several years was the only democratic
member of the upper house of the state
legislature. His friends are working
very earnestly for his appointment.
The other leading candidate for the
position of u. S. attorney. it is report
ed, is M. A. Hildreth of this city. The
Casey movement is equally as strong as
that for the Fargo attorney, and merry
race is expected between the two. 1t
is understood that former Mayor Lowell
is offered as q comprom ise candidate
to the friends of both the Casey and
Hildreth followers.

BLOCK HATS
good AS new
Langdale Hattery in Dickinson
Turns Out Work While You
Wait AS Good as in
the Twin Cities.

Probably there are many people in
the city and vicinity who are not aware
of the fact that Dickinson has q hat
terry, where all kinds of head wear for
men can be cleaned. blocked and made
to look as good as the day when pur-
chased. Such is the case, and the
works are located in the Mckinley
building, one door east of the Dickinson
Steam Laundry.
G. H. Langdale. brother-in-law of
Contractor L. H. Nichols, who came to
the city with his family on the 25th Of
July. is skilled halter, having worked
at the trade for IL years. Mrs. Lang
dale is also halter, and the four chill
dren. when not occupied with their
studies in school, are assisting their
parents in their growing business.
The family came here from Colorado
partly on account of MIR. Langdale's g
health which has greatly improved in
this climate.
When Mr.. Lan9dale discovered that
there was no halter this side of St.
Paul or Fargo. he at once saw the pos
sibilities of building up new indus
Try in Dickinson. He started in a
small way, and during the comparative
ly short time here, has found it advan-
tageous to buy 100 new hat blocks and
other equipment for the business, en-
abling hiL, to take care of all hats that
come to his place in first-class shape.
The local clothing dealers instead Of
sending to St. Paul as previously, are
now turning over all the hats that come
in for cleaning and blocking to the
Langdale fiat Works, thus saving ex-
press charges two ways and getting a
better job than they usually got when
sending to the cities.
Mr.. lanfdale has made trips as far
east as Mandan and is now getting
work from all the towns between Dick
inson and the Missouri river, and as
soon as he can get time he will visit
the towns west as far as Glendive and
perhaps Miles City. People in the
country are also finding out that for q
few cents they can mail their soiled
and out-of-shape hats to the works in
Dickinson and for $1.00 to $3.50 get a
brand new article. People who are in
the city for day often step into the
works and in two or three hours time
get their hats put in fine shape.
Dickinson is fortunate in having q
first-class hattery, and those who have
patronized the shop are its best adver-
tisers.
