ABOUT YOUR HOME MERCHANT

Right here's a case to the point
which we think makes clear what we
have in mind: At the annual county
fair, which will be held in Langdon
on July 9th, 2Sth and 29th, n OF
the main features on which general
interest all over the county Is center
ed is the farm contest, in which prizes
in each of the five commissioner dis
%sricts. and one grand sweepstake prize
are offered for the farms which COM
petent outside judges claim are the
best. Now for that point, which has
preceded this statement of fact: Who
offers the prize? Is it the big cata-
logue house in the 7 sin Cities OF
Chicago that is nowadays filling the
order of an ever increasing number OF
Cavalier county customers. No. but it
is your home merchants, right here IN
Langdon, who whenever there is a
celebration, something for the church
needed, or some community interest
that needs a boost, are always looked
to and always do financially help to
start the good work moving. Who
ever heard of a mail order house doing
things of this kind. or for that matter
contributing in any way to the up
building Of your home communicate All
they care about is to take out OF it as
much money as possible and give
nothing back beyond the goods sold.
These are solid facts, that cannot be
refuted and which the patron Of the
mail order house ought to carefully
think over and act upon accordingly.
But usually folks who habitually buy
of mail order houses care little as 10
whether their home town sinks or
swims Just SO long as they can buy of
such houses an article at a fraction of
a cent or less than they car from
their home town merchant.

ALC0R, THE DOUBLE STAR.
Much Brighter Now Than It Was In
the Tenth Century.

"S S''s ShSA
The two stars, Mizar and Alcor, form
a double star system which can easily
be perceived by the naked eye. This
was not the case formerly, as the
Arab used the resolution of the system
into its TWO components as a test for
good eyes.
1t would seem. therefore, that this
star has increased in brightness since
the tenth century. a supposition which
is supported by the fact that it is not
mentioned by the a%ncients.
The history OF this star was familiar
to astronomers when it was found, IN
1907. that AIcor is itself u double star.
1t is now discovered by Harlow Shap-
ley that Alcor varies in brightness, the
variations having L feeble amplitude
and Il short period. The spectrum type
OF Alcor, which is Il sta Aethat is to
say. u white star with hydrogen pre-
dominating and the doubling of the
lineS-announceS Il variation OF the Al
Sol type. by eclipse rather than con-
tinuouS variation.
1t is supposed that there exists q
couple of elliptic stars very close to-
gether and inclined on their orbit in
such a way that the mutual eclipse is
feeble or almost nothing, the variations
of brightness resulting from their
marked ellipticity. Cleveland Plain

A FORD EVERY SIXTEEN SECONDS

The production of 46, SO Ford cars
in the twenty-six eight-hour working
days of April, means a new car about
every sixteen seconds. Of course this
is a new record, even for the Ford
motor company. But the remarkable
feature of this splendid manufacturing
achievement is the fact that each car
that came out of the assembly lines
of the factory and assembling plants at
intervals of sixteen seconds and glided
away under its own power was made,
in the minutest detail, with all the
infinite are and perfect design and
the laboriousIy tested materials which
the Ford progressive efficiency alone
has made possible. While it requires
about two months to build a Ford car
the special equipment and methods
assembled a complete Ford car as
above stated, one every sixteen Sec

WHEN HER BACK H
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition
Rapidly Slipping Away

Langdon women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, nip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles are
frequent indications of weak kidneys
and should be checked in time. Doan's
kidney pills are for the kidneys only.
They attack kidney diseases by strik-
ing the cause. Can Langdon sufferers
desire stronger proof of merit than
this Park River woman's word?
Mrs. O. G. Thorson Of Park River,
n. Oak, says: 81 had a lot of trou-
bic with my back. 1t ached all of
the time, and when l Strengthened up
after STOPPING over, sharp twinges of
pain caught me in my sides. l was
also bothered with headaches and
dizzy spells and the kidney secretions
were unnatural. | tried different
medicines and consulted doctors, but
got very little relief. l finally used
Doan's kidney pills and they greatly
benefited me. l take this medicine

Coal was first imported into London
at the end OF the thirteenth century,
but the smoke produced by burning
it in improperly constructed CRATES
caused such a prejudice against it that
in 1906 a law was passed making it a
capital offense to burn coal in the city.

of recent years show that Americans
