Can Langdon afford to be without q
base ball team this summer?
Saturday afternoon of this week is
the time of the furniture sale to be
held by Auctioneer Wienecke in the
old Clark building on the east side of
Third street, south of the Cavalier
County Lumber Company's yard.
The ladies guild of the Presbyterian
church announce that they will hold a
social circle tomorrow Friday after.
noon at the home of Mrs. Robert
Work, to which the ladies of Langdon
and vicinity are extended a cordial
invitation to attend.
The past week has resulted in a
pretty general "paint-up' of the
store fronts of the business section of
Third Street. The more that Langdon
people get this notion to "paint the
town"-not necessarily red-so much
the better for the town.
Tomorrow, Friday, evening the
younger children of the primary
grades of the city schools present a
pretty operetta in the gymnasium of
the high school. The performance is
one that takes the place of a closing
exercise for the little folks at the
end of the school year.
Among the people of Langdon who
have registered at the North Dakota
headquarters of the Panama-Pacific
exposition during the past week are
noted H. D. ALERT and wife and their
daughter, Miss Daisy ALERT, who are
on their way home after spending the
winter months at La Jo]la, Calf.
Monday May 31st-the day follow
ing Memorial Day--which this year
falls on Sunday supper will be
served in the basement of the Presby-
terrain church by the ladies of the con-
gregation. Details of this event will
be given in a later item, but in the
meantime the people of Langdon and
vicinity are urged to keep the date in
mind.
Schefter's Clothing House will re-
move next week to its new quarters in

rainfall of the thunder and rainstorm
of Monday afternoon didn't amount tc

would appear to have been a regular
downpour in other sections of the
county.

be called only a skirmish and many
such are fought daily in chance posi-
tions along the winding line OF con-
tact along the river banks in west
and central Poland In the regions
where no fighting is reported, the
Germans are mostly digging to keep
themselves warm.
Won Hindenburg is faced with the
fact that the only successful readjust-
ment of his force in Poland must be
sudden; but the closeness of the OPP
posing armies to each other and their
enormous numbers make this impos.
sible. The only indication of an i'm
pending change in the German cam
paign is continuous diversion of
troops to the southern area. 1t Is be-
lieved that the garrison of Cracow is
now composed exclusively of German
troops.
The eminent member OF the Duma
for Moscow, NJ. Maklakoff, who has re-
turned from three months in Galicia
among the hospitals and food supply
organizations, is convinced that the
final settlement with the Austrian ar
my is very near. They still have
supplies of men, but their spirit is
hopeiessly broken. He witnessed one
instance when an Austrian battalion
attempted to attack Russian field
kitchen where a hundred men were
eating. These left their food and rush
ed on the Austrians, who in few
minutes shouted surrender and came
obediently back with the Russians,
bringing three machine guns.
Maklakoff says the Carpathians do
not constitute a serious obstacle to the
Russian campaign. The Russian troops
there are very eager to be led in
Hungary.

SHINES IN DIS
TR|CT COURT
JUDGE FREEMAN is THERE FOR
BUSINESS AND NOT TO LISTEN
TO- LOT OF WAR TALK AMONG
CONTENDING ATTORNEYS.

In the few days that Judge Freeman
has presided as district judge OF TINS
judicial district. he has demonstrated
to the attorneys and litigants As well
as to the spectators in the court room
that he is the boss OF the job and
that the district court was not going
to be used as clearing house in
which to air personal differences
among attorneys.
In recent sitting of the court. a
couple of legal luminaries who were
opposing each other in an important
case. began getting acrimonious In
their remarks, began ghost dancing
and making war medicine. They lit
tie rocked what was in store for them
however, as the moment the judge
heard what he thought was sufiici'
ency he determined to put the two
belligerents behind the bars and see
if they would do to each other what
their remarks would indicate. Ihey
we're given little time for medita
tion and prayer and were again per
mitted to re-enter the court room and
proceed with the case. The little
lesson served as a warning to the
other attorneys at the bar, and they
will think twice before becoming liza
bic for contempt of court
Another thing has been introduced
in the district court room, and that is
an order against smoking, either by
attorneys, litigants, or spectators, and
from now on the ladies can be pres
ent without being annoyed by stale
tobacco smoke. Judge Freeman has
an old-fashioned idea that the courts
should be conducted with dignity and
has passed the word that his court is
going to be conducted in that manner

COMMITTEE MET YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON, AND RECEIVED
WORD THAT GOVERNOR WILL
LlAMS MAY BE HERE.

The committee recently appointed
by the chamber of commerce to ar
range for banquet for the home
coming of Governor Cruce, met yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of
completing ARRANGEMENTS for the
event, but they received word from
President Mullen, who is in Okla
homa City, to defer action for a time
Us he is making arrangements to
have Governor Williams here with
Mr.. Cruce on that occasion, and that
he had practically received an as
surance from the governor that he
would accept at an early date.
Awaiting this date, the committee
will take no further action until
notified. The banquet will be given
some Saturday night in the near
future, in order that the governor
will not be away from his Office
longer than necessary.
Governor Cruce will arrive in this
city Monday, according to present
plans and he will take much
needed rest. The Country club will,
in all probability, claim his attention
for the most of the time until he
decides upon his future action. The
governor has not decided what he
will do after he takes his rest, II
is reported on very good authority
that he has received an offer from
syndicate of New York bankers,
rendering a flattering position at ten
thousand dollars a year. He likewise
has other matters under considera-
ton, besides his home interests here
but what his decision will be he has
not stated.
As soon as President Mullen is
definitely informed of the date OF
Governor Williams visit, the COM
mittee will begin at once to make ar
rangements for the banquet

quakes for centuries. History records
scores of shocks, to which the public
in this day were accustomed, but
they were trivial. Since the Messina
disaster in 1908, however, the people
had feared a similar fate. The rum
bings and roarings of Mount Vesu-
vius constituted barometer of the
peoples fears. If the volcano was
active and threatening the people
were uneasy. If she was calm the
people resumed their joyful and nor
NAL composure.
No one had to be told that the
rocking and jolting that threw him
from his bed was the long feared
earthquake. The people ran TO the
streets. most of them shouting and
screaming. Once in the streets the
people did not know where to go.
The confusion became pandemonium.
For many seconds. that seemed

There are many signs that the Ger

which their second invasion of Poland
has developed. Their wrath expends
itself in waste of their own mems

Yesterday, before dawn, they sent a
strong column in dense formation to
seize a small farmhouse, where they
must have known the Russians were
ready and waiting for them. The Ger
mans had to charge across stretch of
snow swept by two projectors from
the Russian side and were shot down
like rabbits. with scarcely any loss to

earthworks. When the skirmishers
went forward at daylight, they found

 Mrs. Lula Hunter Robinson, matron of Morton Hall, and her daughter, Marjorie, are expected the last of the week. While all the girls will be glad to welcome Mrs. Robinson again they will also be sorry to see Mrs. Waite, who has been in charge at Morton Hall during Mrs. Robinson's vacation, leave for her home in Winslow. The girls have learned to love her very much indeed and it will be quite as hard to give her up as it was to let Mrs. Ro- binson go.

Edison at the Fair

Honors fitting the high rank he has attained and esteem in which he is held by his fellow Americans have been arranged for Thomas A. Edison, electrical wizard, on the occasion of his visit to San Diego exposition. Ed ison, with his family, will arrive at the exposition October 28 for stay of several days. With him will be Henry Ford, millionaire auto manufacturer and advocate of universal peace.
 In the visit of these two big Ameri- cans, exposition visitors will see two vastly different types of men whose ideals are at wide difference. Edison, who has given to the world the great est inventions, is expected in his ad- dress to urge preparedness while Ford, who has $1O,0O0,000 at the dis posal of any person who can bring about peace, is expected to express sentiments similar to those often heard from William Jennings Bryan. One thing stands out prominently in the visit of these two great men. Ii is that visitors will hear both sides of the war question.
