The Schefter Clothing House has
during the week removed from the
east side Of Third street to it's new

nouced is to be given a formal OPEN
ing on Saturday, May 29th, although
they have been doing business there
since Monday at noon. The interior
finish of the new Schefter Clothing
House is polished quarter sawed oak,
the clothing being kept in large dust
proof cabinets, each capable of hold
ing one hundred and eighty suits of
clothes and Mr.. Schefter has four of
these filled with new line, purchas-

entrance and large show windows,
with the handsome loaded glass sky
light over head, in which the name
Schefter is centered in colored stained
glass gives Langdon's exclusive cloth

to-date appearance as is seldom found
outside of the big cities. The work
of remodeling the building for Mr..
Schefter's occupancy was done by
Contractor Angus Mcpherson of Fargo,
and formerly of Langdon, who has
done a job that is credit to the skill
of the builder, but at the same time
proves to be a handsome improvement
to the business center of the town.

LANGD0N WAS THIRD
AT FARGO MEET
High School Track Team Got Third
Place Among Ten Contestants
at Fargo Field Day
SMITH WON HALF-MILE
Our Bows Won First in Half Mile Second
in Broad Jump Third in Mile Run Also
Finished Third in Relay Race-Rain and
Mud Made Slow Time in Every Event

The four Langdon high school boys,
Marcus Smith, Arthur Robertson, A.
Mclean and L Row who represented the
school track team at the Fargo inter-
scholastic meet held at the agricultur-
al college last Saturday, made such a
fine showing that the school holds
third place among the ten represented
at the Fargo meet. Grand Forks had
a big lead over Fargo for first place,
while but a difference Of ten points
was scored by Fargo over the Langdon
team, who no doubt could have taken
place next to the Forks had Coach
Robertson had few more of his fast
bunch Of young athletes at Fargo
along with him. The first event in
the afternoon finals in which Lang
don secured a place among the win
ners was in the mile run when Arthur
Robertson finished third; the time in
this race being 5 minutes and 5
seconds, over slow track. The half
mile run is the event in which Lang
don starred over Grand Forks, Fargo
and the bunch of tail enders. This
event was taken easily by Marcus
Smith, who came in first at the tape,
easily negotiating the distance in 2
minutes and 13 seconds. Smith was
also contestant who got place in
the running broad jump. The distance
covered in this event was l8 feet, 3
inches and Marcus proved to be such
good second that Flynn, of Grand
Forks, was merely able to just grab
first place. Worse weather for a
track meet than the boys experienced
at Fargo could hardly be described.
In the foot races the events were run
through mud, and at places from two
to three inches of water, while the
pit into which the jumpers landed was
a mud puddle where they sank to the
depth Of a foot. The preliminaries
in the forenoon were held in the rain,
which fortunately dried up before the
finals were pulled off in the afternoon.
With such an experience our Langdon
high school athletes are certainly to
be- congratulated upon the showing
made.
