CITY SCHOOLS Open

Board OF Education Makes Impor-
tant Announcement About Open
ing of School Term

The following announcement has
beep issued from the office of the
board of education of Langdon city
special school district that will be of
interest to parents and pupils resid-
ing in Langdon and vicinity regarding
the fall and winter term, which will
open on Monday, September IL.
The Langdon city schools will open
Monday, Sept. 18th. 1t is quite i'm
portant that pupils should enter at
the beginning of the school year and
be regular in attendance; especially
if they expect to receive credit for a
years work and be promoted at the
end OF the year. re be sure, pupil
may be able to memorize sufficient
facts IN seven or even six months to
enable him to pass state eXamintion
with fairly good grade; but this is
not education, and it does not neces-
sarily mean that the pupil is prepared
to do the work in the next higher
class We are coming to realize
that work accomplished in this way
is not sure test for promotion A
pupil should be promoted only when
he is able to do the work of the next
higher grade The pupil that enters
late loses the training that he would
have received during the weeks of
non-membership, and is not in con-
dition to be promoted.
Our nigh school is state high
school and no tuition has been or will
be charged pupils entering, however
pupils taking part eighth grade work
will be expected to pay tuition in pro-
portion 10 the number OF studies taken.
AS heretofore eighth grade pupils
will pay tuition at the rate of Sl3. so

eighth grade the tuitica will be

will not be permitted to enter classes
until cl1e tuition has been paid.

B00TLEGGER At MILTON
GETS ONE YEAR IN pen
Transient Nabbed When Starting
in Peddling Booze to Threshing
Crews-Now at Bismarck

Thursday evening last weel. Sheriff
Jerry Kelland brought up from Mil
ton a transient, who gave his name
as James Lawler who had been arrest.
ed the previous afternoon upon d
charge of tlegging. The arrest
took place early Wednesday evening
on the outskirts OF Milton, where
Lawler was caught with the goods in
the act of making a sale to the Off
GERS who effected his arrest. He
was placed in the Milton town Jail
until his hearing held the following
forenoon before Justice F. A. Nc
Donald, when he was bound over for
trial at district court, placed in the
hands of the sheriff and committed to
the county Jail.
The case as unearthed by the au.
thorities was first traced with suspi-
cion to Lawler at the time that
shipment Of liquor reached Osnabrock
on Wednesdays passenger train. The
employees at the depot watched it
closely from its arrival until it was
taken out by Lawler His first step
was to go to the garage of the Moen
Auto Co., hire an auto and then start
ed for the depot and got his liquor,
leaving at once for Milton. Right
after his start from Osnabrock. two
local officers, Peter Schriner and liver
Dahl, got Joe Dahl with his car to
follow the suspected boot logger.
Lawler evidently not being aware
that he was being followed was seen
to stop about half mile outside of
Milton, get out of the car and with
his two grain sacks partly filled with
half pint bottles of whiskey walk into
the grove of trees on the Ofstedahl
farm. He was still there when
Schriner, liver and Joe Dahl came up
and bought some of the whiskey of
him. After this development it was
decided to have Joe Dahl go into
Milton for Jonas Christianson, the
deputy sheriff and Bert Dahl the
marshal, who made the arrest. The
story told by Lawler after he was
placed in Jail is that it was his inten-
tion to work on the Neil Mcleod
threshing machine. He also stated
that he had worked during the sum-
mer on the farm of Tom Reilly at
Crystal. Besides the two grain sacks
each half filled with small bottles of
whiskey, he had $37. SO in cash and
bottle of .whiskey on his person.
The authorities are now looking for
his partner who is thought to be
somewhere in the neighborhood.

Relics and "reminiscences
Of Early Territorial Days

Inc following descriptive account
of the Arts and Crafts Exhibit of the
Civic League at Pembina, held -Au-
gust End and 3rd, contains so much of
historical interest covering the entire
northeastern part of the state, that
1t is being given space in the History
of Cavalier county, now in course of
compilation by the woman's club
of his city, under the direction of the
state historical society. The article
is written by Mrs. John Mahon and
also contains many interesting short
sketches of early days in the Red
River Valley by Mrs. Charles Cava-
leer, Sr., and other pioneers of North
Dakota back in the frontier days of
the first settlers
''ln consoany with Editor Lee and
wife of the Walhalla Mountaineer,
the Mahon family attended the unique
exhibit held at Pembna by the civic
league Of that town and saw a dis
play of arts and crafts, that without
question is unequalled anywhere in
the west. In no wise a competitive
exhibit, in which credit or award was
sought by the exhibitor, it may be
said there was displayed here articles
of ornamentation and usefulness of
the early settler such as has never be-
fore been viewed by the public No.

There were the odlcts Of the craft

In the court room on the second
floor We're displayed. .embroiaeries, fine
laces, curtains, etc. Weaving of many
kinds, including rugs and floor cover
lngs. even carding and spinning were
in actual demonstration. In show
cases We're to be seen an array of
rare pottery, china and articles of
jewelry, much of it from one to three
hundred years old. Every country, l
might almost say was represented in
the relics and distinctly recall having
seen exhibits from England, Scotland,
Iceland, China, Japan, Norway, Egy-
pit, Persia, Italy, East Indies, Alaska.
A great number of the exhibits from
these countries were exhibited on
forms and all were Of remarkably fine
workmanship. There was dress that
had been worn by the wife of Judge
Notion, of the supreme court OF New
York, upon the occasion of a recep-
tion given to a Russian ambassador.
1t was made in the style of the ffties,
with extremely full skirt and fined
throughout. 1t was figured silk and
made entirely by hand. 1t had what
might be called skin tight fit at the
waist, wide sort flowing sleeves, fit
ted with under sleeves. 1t did sure
look old fashioned, almost Pilgrimish

years ago, and had been worn in this

This was of a heavy quality of fine
black broad cloth, trimmed with
black velvet. At the bottom the
skirt was embroidered with colorea
yarns of rich dark shades. 1t had q
snug tight fitting waist. the velvet
on this being trimmed with threads of
pure gold. There was a girdle or
belt of this embroidery that fastened
with gold buckle. The groom Of
the bride was a goldsmith and had
made the buckle and spun the thread

was most interesting exhibit. A
collection of shawls worthy of notice
were owned by Mrs. Harris, the
mother of DR.. Harris, whose grand.
father, Admiral Charles Bran1an.
brought them from various foreign
countries when cruising in years that
preceded the Civil war There was
one from the East Indies and another,
from Persia. Another shawl, the;
property of Mrs. Cavalier, was what
Is known as a maiden shawl, sup
posed to be given to maiden before
her marriage, though not to be worn
until after the ceremony. 1t was
beautiful in design and the romance
of its history dates back considerable
over half century ago.
Private collections of relics worthy
of study were those of Mrs. Cava-
leer and Mr.. G. G. Thompson. They
were made up largely of primitive
utensils, weapons, beaded leggins
moctasns and other handiwork of the
Indians. There was a baby's dress
worn by the Cavalier children, made
out of fancy handkerchiefs, with their

There were two educational DISPLAYS
that each would deserve a column of
space. They were from the School

Institution for the Feeble Minded at
Grafton and after seeing these one
can not help but admire more than
