Reading Squirt the Feature.

There was more business transacted
in the early hours of the afternoon
than in the morning.
The feature of the whole session was
violent squirt in Reading which car
ried the stock from 163 and small
fraction to 1885,. a gain of over six
points scored in short order.
The rest of the market did not SYM
pathize with the movement in the rail
leader. showing that it was specific
case of sensational strength. but it had
the effect of steadying other values and
checking any declining trend.
Lehigh Valley started a rise Of its
own soon after the development of the
movement in Reading that promises to
carry it to higher levels before the
close of the session. '.'
Small fractional gains in the general

GET-T0GETHER MEETING

The get together meeting of the
teachers of the city schools and the
parents of the scholars held last Fri
day evening was both a social and
useful event in the mutual welfare of
our community, as it afforded much
needed opportunity for the teacher
and the parent to get into closer
touch with one another in the work
of development Of the child, both in
the school room and the home. An
organization was effected with officers
and committees named who will re-.
port at another meeting to be held
shortly after the holiday festivities
have been appropriately disposed of.
The ladies of the Langdon woman 8
club who have taken an active hand
in the movement, served coffee and
light refreshments after the routine
business before the meeting had been
disposed of. Mrs. G. Crimson has
been named as the executive head of
the new teachers and parents league.

LOCAL FOOTBALL Player
IS ON ALL STAR ELEVEN
Arthur Robertson Of Langdon High
Picked to Play Quarter Back
on All Star Eleven

Langdon friends of Arthur Robert
son, OF the local high school, who
since The opening Of the season mas
made for himself and the football
team name on the local gridiron
and at places where our boys have
played schedule games since the sea-
son opened will, be proud to hear of
his scoring as one Of the inter-schol-
astic all star football team of the
state. Robertson as quarter back has
done more than make good for the
team and the rest of the boys on the
eleven feel that they to some extent
share with him the honor of being an
all star player.
The sport column of an issue of the
Grand Forks Herald during the week
in commenting on the pick of the all
star state football team says: "Rob-
ertson is placed as quarter back by
means of his speed and defensive
ability In all we believe we have
picked we'll balanced team with a
haevy line and an especially fast back
field. -

SURVEY MADE IN LANGDON
FOR A SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Preliminary Survey Made by En-
glneer Dodge for a Waterworks
and Sewerage System

City Engineer Dodge, of Devils
Lake was IN the city couple of days
last week and made preliminary
survey that would enable him to
present drawings and other details to
the city council IA to the practic..
ability OF Langdon putting in sys-
tenn OF WaterWorks and sewerage, anc.
estimates as to its probable cost.
1t IS not likely that Mr.. Dodge will
have his drawings and estimates in
shape to present to the council for
two weeks. The city has taken ne
definite steps regarding this much
needed public improvement, but when
the report of Engineer Dodge is re-
ceived will be able to view the pro.
position in an intelligent and business
like manner. Mr.. Dodge stated be-
fore he left that there would be a
sufficient fall in the level from the
business section of the city to the.
west to make the drainage problem
one that could be carried out to a
successful completion. Langdon needs
and eventually will have to secure a
waterworks and drainage system.
The question that is uppermost with
those interested is Are we ready to
undertake the making of this im-
provement that Langdon so much
needs right now at this time"

figuring to any extent in socia! events
of the kind. Nothing had been
overlooked to add to the charm and
pleasure of the evening. cards and
other entertainment being provided
fo- those who did not indulge in
the dancing.
The decorations and favors gave a
tone to the crowd of merry makers
who express themselves as more than
surprised with the thought and care
shown in the details of of this social
function of Langdon's older set of
married folks. The refresments serv-
ed at midnight proved to be a most
delicate and appetizing menu. The
music for the occasion was furnished
by the Lorraine orchestra.

RAFFLES PROHIBITED BY LAW.

Editor Courier Democrat
AS so many inquiries have been
made at the states attorneys office
as to whether or not the ordinary
turkey raffies, or any kind of raff1es
are against the law, l take this way
of notifying the public that in my
opinion all raff1es are against the Jaw.
The law prohibits any game of chance
upon which property or money is
wagered, and it seems to me that
that includes such raffles Another
feature of these raffles, concerning
which complaints have been made, is
the fact that liquor is often used in
connection with them, which may
make a nuisance Of the place where
the rattle is conducted. l realize,
however, that in the past many people
have conducted these raffies without
the least idea that they were break
ing the law. But hope that in the
future the law will be taken into
consideration. Any complaints made
to this office concerning raff1es will
be attended to the same as other
complaints.
Yours Sincerely,
g. Crimson, States Attorney.

COURT HOUSE FURNITURE

During the week new furniture and
fixtures for the interior of the court
house have been unpacked and pot in
place in the court room and the
various off -es in the basement, and
on the first and second floors. The
shipment Of which there is A carload,
came direct from the factory at Mil
waukee and was accompanied by ex.
! p-rt furniture ,netIt who have been
installing the desks, book cabinets,
chairs and tables in the Offices The
greatest Improvement, however, is
found TO have been made in the court
room. The part of the room reserved
for the judge, officers of the court
and the jury is now rallied off and
provided with well matched ar
rangement of furniture specially
designed for the purpose, the room
now having the appearances of the
court rooms of larger and more
modernly constructed halls of justice.
This finishing touch which has been
given to the alterations and improve
ments of Cavalier county's court house
during the past summer certainly re-
fleets both credit and sound Judgment

pear that Tuesday was red letter

place being the scene of the taking of
the VOWS of matrimony by Mr.. John
lllerbrun, one of the substantial and
best known bachelor farmers of the

A STATUTORY CHARGE
Resident of Eastern Part of County
Under Arrest = Seventeen Year
Old Girl His Victim

One OF the most repuguant cases
brought before the Grand Forks county
and city officials for some time past
was brought into justice court before
City Justice r. ]. Purcell on Monday
afternoon when Leon Plante, arrest
ed on statutory charge was brought
up for hearing and remanded over

and testimony given out at the hear
ing, Plante is married man and is
the owner of farm near Beaulieu,
in Cavalier county. His wife it is
understood has during the fall season
been cooking for restaurant and
threshing crew in the western part of
Cavalier county nea. Calvin. A
young girl, under seventeen years of
age is the complaining witness, and
claims that Plante coaxed her away
from her home, offering her one
dollar day and her expenses, if she
would come with him as a cook,
while he was operating straw bind
ing apparatus, at different points
over the state. 1t is alleged that
the couple arrived in Grand Forks
about two weeks ago and leased
rooms at a residence on Skidmore
avenue. The suspicious Of the parties
with whom they were rooming was
aroused one evening when a quarrel
between Plante and the girl was
overheard in the room that they oc-
cupied. Chief of Police Lowe was
notified and at once proceeded to
make the arrest. The story of the
girl who laid the complaint was told
to Assistant States Attorney #. B.
Elton, who will have charge of the
prosecution of the case. 1t is stated
that the girl will be returned to h:r
parents, who have been searching for
her for some time. Plante it is stat.
ed is likely to enter plea of guilty

LABOR IN GROWING WHEAT

1t requires twelve and one.thircl
hours of human labor and thirty
hours of horse labor to produce an
acre Of wheat in the state of Mime
sofa. These figures were secured in
an investigation carried out during
the years l9O9.12 under the direction
of Thomas Cooper, then with the
Minnesota experiment station, but
now director of the North Dakota
experiment station. If the yield was
twelve and one third bushels per acre,
each bushel would require one hour
of human labor and nearly two and
one-half hours of horse labor, while
if Ethe yield were twenty-four and
two third bushels, only about half as
much labor would be required per
bushel.

Mclean were passengers north yes
