$4,000 FOR GOOD ROADS

Thomas Hall, secretary of state,
announces that he has distributed,
during the year 1914, the sum of
$50, 1857 to the good road funds of
the fifty-two counties of the state,
dividing the money to each county ac-
cording to the number of automobiles
and motorcycles registered with him
from each county, A sum such as
this, devoted annually to the building
of good roads will, if spent wisely,
soon have an appreciably beneficial
effect upon the roads of the state.
The total amount collected by the
secretary of state from the registra-
tion of motor vehicles during 1914
was $55, 964. 90. The expense, which
included cost of registration tags,
postage, printing, clerk hire, etc.,
amounted to SIS, 6l3. Sc, leaving the
net amount as given above. The total
number of automobiles registered was
II, BAT and the number of motorcycles
was l,255. Cavalier county had SIS
automobiles and 10 motorcycles
registered and received ST., 442. "a
from the fund for use on the county
roads. -.

WALES "WONDERS" DEFEATED

Friday evening of last week the
Wales wonders were only able tc
make score of 8 to the 36 which the
Langdon team sprung as surprise i
the fast game played in the gym
nasium of the high school, The game
was played with rush from the start
and seldom if at all were the visitors
able to get the ball anywhere near the
Langdon goal line Wales repeatedly
tried to rally and bring victory out Of
defeat, but finally had to relinquish
hope of breaking through Langdonss
guard and making the required bas-
kets. The game of Friday evening
now places Langdon where she can
honestly claim having defeated all Of
the teams played with since the OPEN
ing of the season. Her most for
midable opponents being Park River,
and Wales. Langdon can show .as
likely bunch of basket ball players
as can be found anywhere over the
northern part Of the state and is now
look ing around for something really
worth while to go up against before
tn season closes.

One of the best get-together gath
erings of the business men Of Langdon
and the farmers of Cavalier county
was the three-day corn, alfalfa and
live stock convention held in Langdon
last week, which opened Thursday at
noon and continued without hitch
until the close on Saturday afternoon.
There were sessions morning and af-
ternoon with programs arranged for
farmers in the old Void store build
ing, many Of the talks being i]lustrat-
ed by moving picture films. Overhead
the Odd Fellow hall had been convert
ed into quarters where the meetings
for the wives of the farmers attending
the convention were held forenoon and
afternoon, onFriday and Saturday fore
noon Under the direction Of Miss Sulli-
van, Miss Viola Wood and Mrs. j. j.
Robson. The evenings were given
over entirely to the entertainment Of
the visitors. Thursday evening Presi-
dent Worst of the agricultural college
at Fargo, addressed capacity audi
ence in the hall. Friday evening a
reception was rendered convention
visitors by the members of the Lang
don commercial club, when at con-

four hundred present. 1t was on this

RAMAGE'S AUTO INVENTION

Visitors to the farmers convention
last week had the opportunity of see
ing in operation the new invention Of
j. T. Ranage, an attachment to his
Ford automobile, which enables its
being operated over the snow covered
streets in the winter with almoss#tae
same amount of satisfaction as WHEN
running tie car during the smn}hgr.
Runners are placed under both the
front and hind axles, with an extern
sion to the steering gear in front and
an attachments to each Of the power
wheels at the rear, enabling them to
propel the car over the snow covered.
roads. Demonstrations both in town.
and on the roads out through the cou,-
try, show that the idea of Mr. Ram
ages invention is quite practical and
it is understood that patent is being
applied fOr.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1915-03-04

G. Haney of Grand Forks; Oscar
Stearn of GrandF Forks, and T. Cooper of
Fargo. These talks were followed by
features of more general entertain
ment, among them music by the or
chestra, a short program arranged by
Manager Waldron of the Electric
Theatre. In fact it was an effort in
which all of Langdon's people, both
young and old, appeared to vie in the
effort to show their visitors entertain
ment and even the glee clubs of the
high school were on the program At
midnight refreshments were served
after which the social session continu-
ed with unabated interest until the
hour had reached two O'Clock of the
morning of the next day.
The convention from start to finish
may be said to have had the hearty
cooperation Of every business man in
Langdon. Since the organization of
the commercial club the members have
felt keenly the need of closer rela-
tion both socially and in a business
way between themselves and the peo-
pie upon whose trade they depend and
the convention of last week shows a
most decided step in the right direc.
tion has been taken
Perhaps the feature of the conven-
tion carrying with it as wide an in
terest among attending visitors as any
was the exhibit of the various kinds
of wheat, oats, barley, corn, alfalfa,
flax, butter, potatoes and other farm
products, for which most liberal and
useful line of prizes had been donated.
The showing in this exhibit came
from almost every section of the
county and though much of the grain
shown was from farms tributary to
Langdon, the display of corn and
other exhibits extended along through
the entire eastern half of the county.
The exhibit in its entirety was the
best of its kind ever shown in the
county. The awards with both the
name of the winner and that of the
party donating the prize appears in
the list given below.

A Plea to the City Council

The practice of splitting on the side
walks and in the halls, entrances and
stairways of the stores and other pub
lie buildings Of Langdon has become
so common that it is an annoyance
and a menace to the health of the
community. The habit is disgusting
to everyone and there can be no ques-
ton but that it is one of the direct
causes of the spreading of tuberculo-
sis. We believe that the city ordi-
nance against the practice should be
enforced and urgently request that the
matter be taken up by the city coun-
Gil. The Langdon woman's club
would respectfully suggest to the
council the posting Of printed notices,
calling the attention Of the public to
the ordinance covering this nuisance.
Signed on behalf of the Woman S
Club,
Committee on Resolutions.
