Bernard kiley came back Saturday
from Holdingford, Mimi, where he
had been attending his brothers. we'd
ding and it is just possible that he
also has contracted the matrimonial
fever with results that may prove
disastrous Towel just hold your
horses and see.
Rev. Father |. Perius of St. Mary's
College, Ky, is visiting with rela-
tives at the Dawson residence, and
expects to stay for about two weeks.
His many friends recall with pleasure
his visit of about a year ago and the
writer can testify that all who came
in contact with him are raised to
a higher moral plane and a greater
sense of their responsibilities. His
sermon delivered last Sunday, in
which he depicted the Nervousness of
sin and the terrible consequences
resulting therefrom, was delivered
with a power and earnestness which
can only be accounted for from the
fact that his life is a living embodi-
ment of what he breaches.
The Dresden band 4th of July pic
mic at Machacek's grove on the 9Th
was a decided success. The weather
was ideal, the crowd simply immense,
and although two constables were
sworn in for the occasion their servic-
es were practically unnecessary as the
best of order prevailed during the en-
tire day. From what your correspon-
dent can learn from many interviewed
all were we'll pleased with the days
program and the band boys wish tc
extend their thanks to all the sur
rounding towns for their hearty
efforts, by their attendance, to make
the celebration the success it was.
Mayor Mcintyre was called away ano

Iona

Miss Walker, one of our school
marms OF a year ago visited old
friends in Iona owe Sunday.
Miss Emma Smith and Miss Mabel
H%eimbecker left here last week for
Valley City where they will attend
the summer training school for teach
ers at the state normal, intending to
resume teaching here in the fall.
Quite a large number of the natives
of Iona went to a big picnic held on
Monday in honor of the Fourth of July
at the William Cheatley place, where
they played base ball, ate and drank
oh not booze-and made merry by
all having a good time.
Well, July 3rd, 4th and 5th has
come and gone. 1t started out with
lots of flying colors and an abundance
of patriotism. Nearly everybody left
Iona and celebrated somewhere else.
But the patriotism at the wind-up at
Iona looked more like Pat Riotism.
John Dietz and j. D. Soper went to
Weaver and back on Friday evening
of last week and report having met
one of the largest crowds ever gather
ed in that town at celebration of the
Fourth of July, which was held there
on Saturday. That's doing pretty
we'll when you consider the weather
and the fact that they didn't wait for
the Fourth before they held their
celebration.
Roy Rosholt, L. Melland, Gus.
Melland, Tom Padden and Ernie Carl
son, along with Mr.. Carpenter, made
up a jolly party of fisherman that
spent Sunday across the line at Rock
Lake, Man, returning to their homes
in the vicinity of Iona on Monday
evening with a nice catch of fish, but
we hear that a part of the catch
disappeared after their reaching here
by the sneak thief route.
The base ball team went to Neko-
ma and captured that $50 purse, less
the assessments. One would be nearly
led to believe that they had been
playing possum ball all summer. They
went to Dresden and played ball be-
hind two trees that the folks over
there call & grove and on a diamond
which we understand was as rough as
a nutmeg crater and the boys who
were in the game have all been limp
ing since they got home. They had a
joyful time maybe.

S. l. Koehmstedt and wife spent
their Fourth at Mowbray at the home
of their son-in-law, Alex Boroho.

panied by their two sons, spent Sun

ing the trip in their auto.

brother south of Mt. Carmel. They
made the trip with an auto from their
home at Lichville, N. D.
The larger crowd of Mt Carmel
young people were to the Fourth of
July picnic given by the band boys of
Dresden in the Machacek grove and
all to agree that they had the
best kind of a time.
Wedding bells will soon ring in Mt.
Carmel. We hope to be permitted to
announce the m of the contracting
parties in this paper next week. This
is one of those events which we were
looking for to occur in June.
Nine young couples of Mt. Carmel
married within the last two years,
spent a very enjoyable day on the
fifth at the home of Stanley Schnei-
der. They picniced all day in the
grove beside the house which was
decorated very prettily for the occa-
sion. The afternoon was spent in
prize winning contests and other
amusements and a barn dance in the
evening. Souvenirs were given to
each couple. Many pictures were also
taken during the day. They all went
home we'll pleased with the way they
spent their fifth.
Joseph Shredder made quite a trip
when he visited his two daughters at
Milwaukee in a convent at that place.
and thence to Eastern Ontario, where
he made a short stay of a couple of
days with his brother, Rev. Anton
Shredder. He has returned home,
arriving in Langdon on Fridays pas
senger of last week.
The race which took place on Mon
day the fifth, between some of our
young people on their way to Dresden
turned out to be rather hard nm the
spokes. We hear that two buggy
wheels were badly damaged by the
encounter when the rigs came togeth-
er. There was no further details to
this incident which might have result
ed in rather a bad accident on the way
to the picnic.

ders from James Gordon, the Langdon
representative of the Independent
Harvester Co.
The picnic of the Elkwood, Homen

Farmers who have fall rye hat was
far enough advanced in its growth
when the frost came June 18th, are
now finding, that the best thing to do
with their crop is to cut it for fodder.
There's nothing in the heads, although
up to that time it had been a good
looking stand of grain.
There has been a hurry and scurry
among lots of the farmers in this
vicinity who have a fine looking crop
to get under cover with a hail insur-
ance policy. There sure has been
some weather that looked like hail
the past few days and those clouds on
Saturday gave a number around here

Robert Robertson, Jr., is one of

up in the latest and most approved
style.
This locality is able to report a
frost on the morning of the Fourth of
July this year. There is the evidence

this kind to straighten out the spell
Of weather which has made out door

ACT QUICKLY
Delay Has Been Dangerous in Langdon Several
Times in Years Past and Gone

Do the right thing at the right
time Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan's kid
ney pills are most effective. Plenty
of Langdon evidence of their worth.
w. B. Gordon, retired farmer,
Langdon, says: Il suffered for a
number of years from dull, grinding
pains in the small of my back, direct
ly over my kidneys. The kidney ac-
ton was irregular and caused much
annoyance. I doctored and tried
several medicines, but was not reliev-
ed until l began taking Doan's kidney
pills, procured at E. l. Donovan's
drug store. A few doses brought
much benefit and before long my kid
neys were strengthened and every
symptom of kidney trouble disappear
ed Over three years later, Mr..
Gordon said: "From my good expert
ence with Doan's kidney pills, l am
convinced there is nothing better to
regulate the kidneys and correct any
disorders arising from them
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
