Three weeks from tomorrow will be
Friday, May 7th, which Gov. L. B.
Hanna has designated for q proper
observance of by the people Of North
Dakota as Arbor Day. Right is
not a bit too early and in fact is just
about the right time for every citizen
of Langdon to plan for what they will
do as their share Of a proper observ-
ance Of Arbor Day. See after the
getting of what trees or shrubs you
will plant out on that day right now
and don't wait until the time comes
when you want to be setting them
out. Trees add to the beauty and
shelter Of a town and also add to its
homelike attractiveness, which is
something that every citizen should
take pride in. The governor procla-
nation urges all of the people Of the
state to plant a tree on Arbor Day.
Let Langdon people show the public
spirit asked by the simple and easily
performed act of planting at least one
tree on that day.

BEAUTIFYING A R E
Michigan Avenue of Chicago to Be
Widened and Extended.

World famous thoroughfares = like
the Champs Elysees, Paris: Inter den
Linden, Berlin: Ringstrasse, Vienna;
Piccadilly. London. and Fifth avenue.
New York city-do as much perhaps
to lure travellers from the uttermost
parts of the world to their respective
cities as any other single object of in
terest in them, writes Walter ID. Moo
dy, managing director, Chicago plan
commission. in the American City.
Perhaps the most spectacular and
most needed street Improvement ever
undertaken in a large city is the Chi
cago Michigan avenue extension, APP
proved by the people at the Nov. 3
election and which will cost $4,000, 900.
1t is likely that Chicago today in it's
fascinating mile section of Michigan
avenue skirting the lake front and
coursing the heart of the city possesses
the most splendid business thorough
fare in the world. This is not only
true because of the magnificent facade
of the palatial buildings, but also on
account of the fine perspective afforded
W LII SlcdtL opCH SIitSc just OpDOSltc
in Grant park.
The widening and extension of Mich
igan avenue is to be on the two level
plan, the river to be crossed by Il dou-
bic deck bascule bridge. This NAM
moth bridge, the first of it's kind to be
constructed anywhere. will have il span
of 21O feet and Il width of ninety feet.
Light traffic will take the upper deck
and heavy traffic the lower.
The two level extension of Michigan
venue is proposed solely for the pur-
pose of separating the north and south
from the east and west traffic. North
and south approaches to the upper
level will be on so slight a grade as to
make the elevation almost impercepti-
BILE.
The significance of the Michigan we
nue. improvements in the plan of Chi
cago is best seen in the fact that it
forms the eastern boundary of the
Quadrangle" in the plan. This quad
rangle" is bounded OIL the north by
Chicago avenue, on the west by Canal
street and on the south by Twelfth
street. These four streets are destined
to bear the heaviest traffic of any four
streets in Chicago. The development
of the Quadrangle" will complete the
foundation of the street circulatory
system in the plan of Chicago. No
Improvement is needed in Chicago ave

New System of Garbage Collecting.
The city Of Syracuse. n. Y. has in
stituted a novel type of automobile
garbage collection by which it has rid
itself Of the nuisance of open wagons
scattering garbage through the streets
and giving off an unpleasant odor. says
the American City.
Two motor trucks are used for the
new service. and each is Of three
tons capacity and carries 10S cans of
100 pounds capacity. AS the cans are
not always full the average load is
about three. and 4 half tons. Each
truck employs Il force of six men.
Two are stationed at all times on the
folding running boards. Their work
is to place in position on the car the
cans which are brought from the yards
by the four collectors.
When loaded the trucks go to the re-
duction plant outside the city, where
the truck driver and two assistants
empty the truck. These assistants stay
at the plant. Part of their duty is to
wash the cam and have them ready
for the next days service. In the
meantime clean can which have been
used on the previous day. are placed
on the truck, which returns 20 the city
for the next load. The trucks are neat
and attractive in appearance. and if
the system, which is in the expert
mental stage, proves satisfactory Il sut-
dicient number of trucks will be pur-
chased to extend the service over the
entire city.

serve, so that she may suit all tastes.

has produced type Of nardy hshel-

Haskell island o: Outer Heron or
farther east on Isle au Haul, are
peculiar characters who shut them
selves off from communication WIN
their fellows, live their own strange
lives and avoid intercourse with any
but their own people. When a sum-

They have no daily papers. seldom

Well Always to Keep WatchfuI Eye
on the Grocer and Butcher
Splendid Green Salad.

Don't allow the grocer to weigh your
butter, lard, etc, in wooden dish.
These dishes weigh from one to three
ounces, according to their size, and
YOU are therefore paying for that much
wood at tho price of butter.
Don't let the butcher weigh your
meat and then trim it and charge you
for the trimmings that you have paid
for. The fat can be rendered into lard
and the bones used in soup. The
butcher knows that they have a value
for when you do not take them he re-
sells them for six or seven cents a
pound. Do not be afraid to ask for
what is your due and to demand hon
esty and full measure.
A green salad served with cheese,
nuts or eggs, and French dressing
with whole wheat sandwiches, can be
made the main course for luncheon
A cheese souftie served with spinach
makes meat unnecessary. Beets
stuffed with creamed mushrooms and
nuts are delightful, and a ring of
mashed potatoes filled with Creamed
carrots and peas will please the most
fastidious appetite. A canape, bisque
or PURGE made of fresh vegetables, or
a cocktail made of mixed fruits, is a
good beginning to either luncheon or
dinner. Desserts should be fresh
fruits, fruit ices or gelatin dishes
with sponge cake or other plain I'm,
iced cake.

Rats as Plague Transmitters

In view of the admitted Importance
of the rat in the transmission of
plague, the study of this disease
among rodents has often as necessary
from the point of view of preventive
hygiene as is the management of the
human cases when they arise. In a
report to the local government board
of England on rat plague in East Ang-
liza during the period from July to
October, 1911, the magnitude of sim
gle campaign is shown. During four
months 1882 rats were examined for
plague infection. Thirty-five of the
rats were found to be plague infected.
Twenty-seven premises were found to
harbor plague-infected rats The
places were all within an area previ.
ously pronounced to be infected The
rat destruction, which had been main.
tanned by local enterprise for some.
what more than a year, had in many
localities appreciably diminished the
rat population.

There is a camaraderie of the sea
and the crew of the vessel wrecked
off Mount Desert island a week or
two ago found plenty Of assistance
among the rugged islanders there,
who cared for them in their homes
and sent them to the mainland,
clothed and fed. These rec1use island
ers would respect any vessel so long
as she were afoat, but when ground

parlance a "wrack" and is proper
plumber for any of the coast or island
inhabitants who may have oppOrtun-
ity to reach her.
Looted Craft That Went Ashore.
The story Is told of case where a
New Jersey coaster grounded on a
sandy beach in heavy fog. The cap
tain took the mate and cook, who
made up the crew, and started in a
rowboat for Rockland, after dropping
an anchor astern, intending to get a
towboat to draw her off. Being an
amateur photographer, he took a
snapshot of the beached schooner be-
fore he left. When they returned with
the towboat he found that the
schooner had been stripped Of every
thing movable. Her cabin furnishings.
the galley stove, the sails and rig.
ging had been removed, and even the
masts had been chopped down and
towed away. Had the schooner re-
manned afloat. even with no more than
two inches Of water under her keel,
