REVOLUTIONARY PROPOSAL
[From The Christian Herald ]

Consider, also, the multitudinous
daily hypocrisies of business life: the
false labels of goods, deceptive an
nouncements of clearance sales and
bargains; the Misrepresentation in
which employers and employees sin to-
gether. What a sensation it would
make If for just one day shopkeepers
and promoters would tell the truth! A
popular lecturer brought down the
of a Wall Street broker whipping his
boy for lying, that is, for setting
false rumors afoat." AS politicians
nave given up buying votes, once con-
sldered a necessity, why may not
chambers of commerce get. an agree
ment OF business men to quit lying?

Storlie Township Resident Relates
of Hair Raising Escape From
German War Cruisers

B. H. Bjerken, resident of Stor-
lie township since the first settlement
of that portion of the southwestern
part of Cavalier county, has just re-
turned from a visit of nearly twelve
months at his old home in Stjordalen,
Norway. In letter which he wrote
the Democrat from Owatonna,
Mimi, where he is making a few
days stop over to visit friends, he
states that he is more than glad to
once again find himself upon American
soil. He was passenger on the
Olympic, which leaving Southhamp-
den on July 29th, landed her pas
sengers safely in New York O.,
August 4th, having travelled at top
speed across the Atlantic and being
chased the last two days by German
war cruisers. The last two nights of
the record breaking run across the
ocean thel Olympic was without a
light either below or on deck in it's
endeavor to evade the pursuing Ger
man war ships. He had a fine time
in Norway, but thinks that he put off
his return a little too long and does
not want to repeat the experience he
went through on the trip back.

SUFFERS MENTAL BREAKDOWN

On Tuesdays train Sheriff j. Kel-

Dresden, took Mrs. w. H. Grail of
that place to the state asylum to
receive treatment for a mental all
ment with which she has become
afflicted as result of her very SER
ious illness, which dates since last
spring. Everything that medical
skill could accomplish had proved of
no avail and Mr. Grail, at the sugges-
tion of the doctors, finally decided to
place his wife in the hands of special
lists at the state institution at James
town. The Grail family have many
friends in Langdon as we'll as at their
home town, Dresden, who hope that
Mrs. Grail may soon be able to return
fully restored in her health, both
physically and mentally.

SAD TRAGEDY WITH
GUN BOY SUICIDES
Edwin Engdahl Ends His Life Sun
day Night With Rifle Body
Found Monday Morning

On Monday morning at an early
hour members Of the family OF Martin
Olson Voin, living in Iona township,
found the dead body of the latter's S
grandson, Edwin Engdahl, boy
about sixteen years of age. The
body was found on the ground along
side pasture fence near the house
with bullet wound in the breast
near the heart. He had apparently
been dead several hours and the gun
lying near by, its stock still partly
entangled in the wire fence, told al
most as plainly as words the story of
the sad tragedy. The boy is the step
son of Frank Engdahl and since the
opening of spring had been working
on the farm of his grand father,
Martin Olson Voin, near Wang. He
was last seen about ten o'clock the
night before, apparently in ordinary
health and spirits. Both his parents,
who live in the same neighborhood,
and the family Of his grand father,
with whom he made his home, are
entirely at loss to explain why the
boy could have been lead to take his
life. Official enquiry was made into
the matter Monday by Sheriff Kel-
land, States Attorney Crimson and
the county coroner, Dr.. S. G. Gibson,
but the cause of death was so plainly
evident that no occasion was found
for the formality Of holding an in

agement Of the sub b-station experiment
tai farms, conducted in various parts
Of North Dakota in conjunction with
the state agricultural college at Far
so, were in Langdon to make their
annual inspection of the farm east of
town, which since its institution six
years ago has been under the capable
management of Mr.. E. D. Stewart
The gentlemen arrived on the noon
train from Fargo and were taken out
to the farm in autos, where they spent
the afternoon in looking over the
work done on the Langdon farm this
season. Their visit came at time
when Manager Stewart and his men
were their busiest, but the showing
made by the different tracts upon
which rotation and other crop expert
ments are being made showed up
finely, in fact in marked contrast
with what has been accomplished on
neighboring farms in that locality,
although it will not be until the end
of the working season that the actual
results attained will be known. The
party left overland by way Of Lakota
later in the afternoon. From there
they travel west to Williston, where
another experimental farm is located

tural college at Fargo
