LANGDON PEOPLE
PETITION CITY DADS
Have Petitioned to Re-Distric'
Boundaries of City Wards of
the CITY

Monday evening the Langdon city
council at special meeting received a
petition signed by a large majority OF
the voters of the city, asking for the
re-districting Of the three wards of the
city. The move to change the present
boundaries of the wards meets with
a practical unanimous approval and the
proper legal steps will be taken grant
ing the petition at the regular monthly
meeting Of Monday, March 2. In the
meantime a notice Of the proposed re-
districting OF the wards will be given
official publication as required by law.
The First ward includes all that portion
of the City of Langdon within the CITY
limits lying north of Spruce street: the
Second ward includes all that portion
OF the city between Spruce street and
Walnut street; the Third ward all that
portion of the City of Langdon south of
Walnut street. extending to and includ.
ing South Langdon and the Fairview
\ addition, All three wards will run east
| and west the entire breadth of the city
| The Second ward includes the business
center of the city and may be expected
/ to have somewhat of a lead in its voting
I strength over the First and Third wards
but the latter extend over a larger por.
ton of the city and as the present in.
dications of the Langdon's futuregrowt
show largely IN favor of Langdon ex.
tending north and south rather thar
east and west the proposed change in re-
districting the city is certainly the bes'
and only plan that could be adopted
and give all the people an equal voice
in the administration of municipal affairs

VII w. NOTES

DR.. Chas. A. Payne, of Milwaukee
who lectured in the high school assem-
bly, Thursday evening seems to have
captured his audience, His free and
easy delivery, his enthusiasm for his
subject, his fund of anecdotes, his vivid
description OF those h%ospitable Hawaiian
Islanders, OF their home life and Of their
beautiful gardens brought many ex-
%clamations of delight from the people.
The patrons OF several of our former
courses who we're in attendance say,
CDR. Payne is the best man we have had
in many a day. Should he come again
We'll be glad to welcome him"
The lecture, illustrated with those
magnificent, colored slides took one to
fairy land. With the temperature
twenty-four below it was indeed a treat
to wander even in Imagination from
home, The young people show their
appreciation of this when they say that
they never dreamed that there was

A. Payne's many lectures, is a criterion

ing a total of 100. This number repre-.
sents 43 counties, and is an increase OF

| schools results.
Better High School Privileges Eff

| pills completing the high school and Al
| one third the cost when compared witt
the old rural school system.
Better Organization-A teacher with

BANK ACT CRITICISED ABROAD.
Prince Peniatowski says Obvious
Psrpsse IL 70 weaken New York.

Foreign bankers have becn studying
with a good deal OF interest the new Fed
eral reserve act, which President Wilson
signed on December 20 last The con-
illusions reached are beginning TO be re-
ported here and among the foreign OK
pressions Of opinion which have reached
this country liz an address delivered by
Prince Poniatowskl Mt the monthly dinner
OF the Society of Political Economy In
Paris on February last.
Prince Poniatowski Jays IN substance
that tho new law Is defective in It's failure
to provide for a unifcation of the Amer
lean currency and especially criticiscs the
continuation of bond secured bank notes.
He says that the needs OF an elastic
medium are met by the power granted
TO the reserve banks to Issue notes upon
prime commercial paper rediscounted by
them" but regrets the lack of provision
for tho retirement OF every form of note
mot containing In itself the principal OF
It's own amortization" 80 far az the
Federal reserve act is dangerous he finds
that the danger Ia not contraction. but
initiation Of credit"
As the prince analyses the bill II seers
to him intended to deprive New York OF
Its financial supremacy. THE object"
he says. war to carve New York into
a. many elices a. possible" On this sub
ject he utters the following opinion:
'The banking tendency of tho country
derives from causes and rvssts on founda-
tons that no legislative party should
have overlooked New York necessarily
will control foreign exchange and Its stock
market will remain the only one affording
through call money a most nseful adjunct
