DIVIDEND OF TWELVE PER CENT

The Langdon Farmers Elevator
Company, at its annual meeting of
stockholders in addition to re-elect-
ing ell of the old officers Of the COM
pany also by unanimous choice decid-
ed II name Messrs D. F. Mcdonald
and Fred Newbern to succeed them
selves as members of the board of
directors for another term of three
yeafs. The report of the business
done by the company's elevator here
in the past year presented by
Manager John Power showed quite a
hactering margin OF profit for the
stockholders with the result that the
dividend OF twelve per cent was de-
clared. The annual report Of the Sec
retary and treasurer of the company
showing the financial condition is
being prepared and will be in the
hands of stockholders very shortly.
Manager Power has been again secur.
ed in charge of the company's busi-
ness affairs and as grain buyer at the
elevator.
