READING ROOM FOR
LANGDON is IN SIGHT
Steps Toward Realization of Plans for Giving
iangdon Public Reading Room

There has been much discussion
concerning the deplorable lack of clean
public amusements, either out-do or
indoor for our young people particu-
larly. Our town is lacking in good
places where young folks may gather
to pass an hour of an evening when
free from school or work, and the lack
is keenly felt. We are not blessed
with near by lake or river upon
which skating might be enjoyed, nor
have we even a rink which might help
greatly; neither have we hills for
coasting. A reading room has long
been talked of, and we hope it may
be happy realization sometime in
the not too distant future But in the
meantime our young people have no
where to go for a good time free of
any charge. In order to remedy this
condition and lack, the citizens of
Langdon are urgently requested to
join hands in "good time move
ment, - so that it may become sue
cessful, meeting has been arranged
for Monday evening, Jan. 18th, at the
H. S. auditorium, at which every
family in Langdon is urged to be pres
ent The young folks are particularly
asked to come, and it is earnestly
hoped that parents and young folks
alike may have many good ideas tc

TRIP FROM LANGDON
TO MEXICO BY TEAM
R. HausIlerr Has Novel Overland Trip Planned
Canadian Boundary to South America

A journey to South America by
prairie schooner and horse back is ,ln-
dertaken by R. M. Hausherr, to start
about May 1st, 1915, from Langdon,
North Dakota, through South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
Mexico, British Honduras, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and Panama.
Mr.. R. M. Hausherr, born in Ger
many, is 36 years old. In early life
he took up the study of bacteriology,
chemistry and engineering. Later on
in practical life he studied electrical
and mining engineering, also United
States laws. Mr. Hausherr has trav-
eled over the whole of Europe, Africa,
South America, Japan and Canada.
He spent two years in the Mackenzie
River district prospecting for minerals
and oil. While Mr.. Hausherr was in
South America he was specially inter-
ested in the study of the rubber indus
try Of that country. He believes he
has discovered, in certain South
American republic, a substitute for
rubber which he thinks will revolu-
tionize the rubber industry. The un-
settled government in that state at
that time prevented him from COM
pleting his experiment. However he
has decided to go back now, and he
will make the trip to South America
starting from the Canadian boundary
line, he will travel with his family
and party, which will consist of
several scientific men, straight across
the United States and Mexico into
South America.
Iniorder to defray his expenses, he
will sell the space on the canvass COW
ering of his wagons for ADVERTISE
ments; the novelty of this proposition
should have great effect and appea al
to any wide awake business man. Mr..
Hausherr has been reserve officer in
the German army and fought in Ger
man South West Africa in the Herero
rebellion as young man, also some in
South American Republics. He is six
and half feet tall, clean of charac-
ter, strong determination and will
power. He has done great deal of
travelling all over the world, and this
is not the first time, that he has been
at the head of an undertaking of this
kind.
Mr.. gHausherr will write of his ex-
perienees on this trip, illustrating
them by photographs for the press and
magazines.
ANY one who may be interested, and
desire further information should ad-
dress G. J. Pease, Langdon, North
Dakota, who is special secretary and
advertising manager.

Frank Green has since the first of

in the Green Bros. barber shop, dis
posing of his interest to his brother,
Chas. Green. He is understood as
having closed deal for the purchase
of bowling alley, pool room and
barber shop at Clyde and moves there
with his family at once as the busi-
ness is to change hands next week.
Frank was always an enthusiastic sup
porter Of sports and should rapidly
gain popularity with the people of

both Mr.. Green and his family quite
an acquisition to the western Cavalier

PENNSGROVE, n. j., Jan. 29.-The

building that is being done there, has
had the effect of starting a movement
in this borough to return it to a town
ship form of government in Upper
Penn's Neck township, where it was
previous to becoming borough. The
effect of this will be to bring the tax
ablos into one common treasury, that
the money may be used for the erec-
tion of additional schools that will be
required by reason of the increasing
population and to pay the other neces-
sary expenses incident to so thriving
a community

more than 5000 persons are employed
at the powder works and that at least
rs additional buildings are to be erect
