Treasurer's annual statements of
the school districts of Mt. Carmel,
Fremont, and Waterloo townships
appear elsewhere in this issue.
Especially to the taxpayers of the
districts they contain interesting read
ing and should be looked over by all
who contribute to the education of the
children of those districts. Bear in
mind that the rural school is the
foundation of good government and
that the school officers who attend to
the management of the schools and
the tax payers alike should feel proud
of the American public school system
and what it is accomplishing for the
rising generation.
Among Langdon's distinguished out
of town visitors during fair week
were Judge and Mrs. E. H. Griffin of
Devils Lake who made the trip here

county court in Ramsey and his visit
to Langdon gave him an opportunity
to express himself as being astonished
at the immense crowd and the evident
growth and development of u fair
association. He had attended the
state fair held in Grand Forks the
week previous and said that both the
attendance here and the racing pro-
gram compared favorably with what
he saw at the state fair, a number of
the horses entered here being the
same as had taken part in the races
at the Forks.

been afflicted with the presence of
this cheap carnival company during a
part of this week. They were not
successful in fleeing the people here
to attend the fair to any extent and
the way in which the company busted
up before they left town it looks as
though the most respectable of the

ed their jobs before the outfit of this
cheap bunch of grafters folded their
tents and hied to the end town.

a citizen OF Brazil
In the meantime Cohen has been max
ing his regular trips to Brazil and back.

alienists pass on his condition so that
they may avoid having him as a life
