Grandpa Krohn is away enjoying a
visit with his relatives and old friends
across the boundary line in Manitoba.
About two weeks ago Mrs. D. Hell
bert purchased a new sewing machine
and as its a Singer, we suppose that
she will have music in the home all
the time now.
j. Spenst started seeding his next
years crop of winter rye last week.
1t is the first of the 1916 crop to be
put into the ground in this settlement.
Threshing operations were delayed
temporarily by light rains on both
Tuesday and Thursday of last week.
AS the rain came in the evening it
only occasioned a lay-otf for a few
hours in the forenoon each time.
F. B. Faust, who is here visiting
from Mountain Lake, Mimi, was
taken to Langdon to see a doctor on
Friday of last week, owing to a sore
throat that had been bothering him
for some time past. He was accom-
panied by G. j. and ]. G. Ericsson and
Jacob PankratZ.
Miss Margaret Spenst has during
the past week left her home in this
vicinity and will make a stay of about
a month with Mrs. Herman Michlink
while the latter's husband is away
from home seeing after the running of
his threshing outfit, which will put in
most of the season over neal Munich.
d. Heibert, Issac Veer and George
Veer have placed an order for a new
Red River Special separator, having
found that their old outfit would not
be able to keep up with the long
heavy seasons threshing of this fall.
Threshing has now been underway in
this locality steadily for a couple of
weeks and it now looks as if it will
continue for another month yet.
A party from Manitoba who came
over for a visit with several of their
relatives and old friends on Sunday of
last week was composed of the follow
ing who are all we'll known here
Jacob Schroeder and wife, John
Schroeder and wife, George Spenst
and wife and Peter Friesen and wife.
They appeared to be much impressed
with the evident Roadway that farmers
in this settlement have made in the
past few years and considered that the
crop being harvested and threshed was
even better than any they had on the
other side of the boundary line this
fall.

Upon Our Poor Planet.
IF the sun should go out how long
would it be before darkness would ap-
pear on the earth?" asks a reader.
Eight minutes, eighteen seconds and
five hundred and siXty-six one-thou-
sandths of q second!
At the end of that brief interval Of
time the blue curtain of day would dis
appear as if an almighty hand had
snatched it off, and the dome of night,
spangled with stars, would instanta-
neously arch the earth. We would be
plunged into darkness so quickly that
for a moment nothing would be visible.
Then the piercing rays of the stars
would begin to affect Il eyes, and aft
er that, gradually, u immediate sur
roundings would dimly emerge from
the gloom. There would be starlight,
but no moonlight, for the moon shines
only with reflected sunlight.
At first the disappearance of the light
would be the thing most troublesome
to us, but as time went on 4 chill
would begin to creep over the sunless
earth, and out of the dark and frozen
air, all around the globe. 4 pallid snoW
would descend. as the atmospheric
moisture condensed. When days and
weeks haG elapsed the awful cold Of
outer space would chill the atmosphere
down to the carth's surface and animal
and vegetable life would alike perish

Earl Montgomery is among those
who are engaged in threshing in the

An event we must not overlook

from Mowbray this week is the birth
of a baby boy during the week at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Walls.

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES
Bring Suffering to Many a Langdon Reader
Warning Not to be IGNORED

Pain is natures signal of distress.
A warning not to be ignored. Those
sharp twinges in the back-those sud-
den, stabilize pains when STOPPING,
are frequent signs of kidney trouble;
signs that must not be neglected. To
remove kidney pains, you must assist
the kidneys. Use a tested and proven
kidney remedy. None more highly
endorsed than Doan's kidney pills.

cate the word liberty with conduct
shat is primarily mans own affairs, and
shey write ''verboten" against the be-
Savior that annoys ones fellow citizen

occur to the German mind that drinking a

rant should be branded as crime, or that
eeereations proper for respectable young

decorum at all times and in all places are
egarded as socially desirable. Order,

are thought Of as sufficiently worth while
TO be secured and enjoyed in practical
fact. The man who filters and defaces

.That International Loan.

It may not be out of place to remind
the American bankers who are consider
ing the billion-dollar loan to France and
England that. this country has already
gone on record as being opposed to the
use of force to collect debts from de-
faulting governments. 1t is entirely
within the range OF possibilities that the
Bosses incident to this war may be so
great as>to compel scaling down of the
national obligations when peace returns.
Repudiation is an ugly word; but so is war
that may make it necessary. And it is
entirely within the realm of possibilities
at the men who are fighting the battle
will have few words to say to their own
statesmen before assuming the financial
palrdens. 1t is scarcely likely that all OF
She unprecedented things connected
with this war will be confined to the
aghting.--Tke Public.
