Langdon insurance writer's have
been doing a land office business dur
ing the week writing policies on the
rapidly maturing crop against loss by
hail. Those who escaped the storms
that have visited different sections of
the county the past ten days have
been scurrying to get under cover.
Mrs. Ed. Godfrey, her son, James
and Mrs. Peter Zettel, the latter a
sister of Mrs. Godfrey, were pas
sengers Friday to Grand Forks, where
they were guests during a stay over
Sunday of Joseph Godfrey, who early
in the summer left the Sparkling auto
garage and repair shop to accept a
position in Grand Forks.
Sunday afternoon fire had gained
considerable Roadway or the outside
Of the frame barn at the real Of
Sheriff Kelland's home when both
smoke and flames attracted the at
tention of neighbors. The fire got it's
start from a pile of straw and was
only checked in its total destruction of
the building by prompt work on the
part of neighbors.
Earl and John McGruer, Morris
Winter and Albert Drury left Tues
day with an outfit which required the

for long years been identified with

and social affairs and the best wishes
of our people accompany them to
! their new home on the Pacific coast.

Local Happenings

The Catholic congregation at Neko-
ma are having a residence built for
the priest of St. Edwards parish.
Several fields of early sown barley
in the immediate vicinity of Langdon
are standingin shock this week.. The
harvest this year is at least a week
earlier than that of a year ago.
"Stop Thief our new serial story
On page seven starts this week. 1t is
not of the burglar alarm order,
but will be found full Of snap and go
from start to finish. Now's the time
to start at the beginning.
Munich's ball team is reported as
having d%isbanded. The reason assign
ed being that section having been
severely hit with hail, the business
outlook didn't warrant playing the
team through to the end of the season.
The news reached Langdon last
week that David Hutton, of Preston,
Mimi, we'll known in Rolette county
died last Wednesday, July 18th, from
the effects of falling off from a load
of hay. He was we'll known here as
a dealer in horses years ago..
Yesterday the Ct. Northern ran a
special excursion train over this
branch line for visitors to the Grand
Forks fair. The train which had a
string of passenger coaches giving it
a seating capacity of several hundred
was nearly half filled when it pulled
out of Langdon at seven o'clock in the
morning. 1t left Hannah shortly
after six.
The Democrat this week consists of
ten pages instead of eight in order to
make room for twelve full columns of
official proceedings of the July meet
ing of the county boards of equaliza-
ton and commissioner proceedings.
The amount of business disposed of
can be judged from the fact that
there are still several columns which
lack of space compels us to hold over
until next week.
The annual statements of the school
district treasurers of Langdon and
Mimic townships appear in this issue.
Each show among other good features
a balance of cash on hand after the
expenditures of the year have been
paid. In each case the receipts of
the district from all sources exceed
81, 900, enabling the running of the
schools upon a much wider and more
liberal educational line than some
years ago. Mimic township, by the
way is now credited with having one
of the best equipped rural CONSOLE
dated schools to be found anywhere
in the state.
The Langdon ball team played it's
last game for the seaso before the
players were given their release Tues
day, at the tournament held the day
previous over at Cavalier when they
were pltted against Fark River IN the
afternoon, the score being 6 to 4 in
favor of Park River. There was not
more than a handful of Langdon fans
over there, but the game is stated by
unbiased spectators as n of the hard

release the team when on returning
home he learned that both Clyde and
Munich had d~isbanded, partly owing
to the early arrival this year of the
busy harvest season, but largely for
the reason that hail losses through
the south and western parts of the
county made the outlook for the base
ball business bad.

FESTIVAL OF REASON. /"
French Celebration at Once Siniest

In Paris 120 years ago. November 10.
1898. was at one and the same time the
silliest and the sublimest spectacle that
had up to that time ever been wit
messed on earth.
Poor old France! What horrors she
had passed through, having been ex-
plotted, insulted and degraded for CEN
turies by the titled scoundrels of
church and state. With the single ex-
ception Of Israel. no people ever had
such experience as that which came to
the French under the three Capets.
But the people went through it and
lived to turn the tables on their op-
pressors in grand style-and then they
felt that they were entitled to cele-
brate.
1t was the funniest celebration that
ever took place. Demoiselle Candeille.
