LANGDON IN SECOND PLACE
At FARe0'S TRACK MEET
Took First Place in Mile and Half
Mile Second in Half Mile Relay
Third in Discus Throw

The Langdon high school track
team returned home on Mondays s
afternoon train from their trip to
Fargo, where they creditably upheld
the reputation Of their school by TAX
ing second place in the big track
and field meet held at the Agriculture
al College of North Dakota.
Grand Forks with team of twelve
men easily won the meet But when
we stop to consider Fargo with a
team of fourteen men; Moorhead with
seventeen men; Casselton with six
men, and few other schools from
over the state represented, we cannot
help but give the highest praise to
our four men for taking second
honors.
Arthur Robertson won first in the
half mile and third place in the mile,
and as a result brings home gold
medal and also a bronze medal.
Llewellyn Row took first place in the
mile, which entitled him to a gold
medal. Kinsell Johnston got third
place in the hammer throw, thus win
ming another bronze medal for the
Langdon team. The four boys together
took third place in the half-mile relay
race, which event may be said to
have given Langdon a clean title to
second place
The day was not an ideal one for a
track meet 80 far as the weather was
concerned. owing to the strong wind
which prevailed throughout the great
er part of the day. Nevertheless the
meet was a fast one, the records in
four events being broken, viz: Dis.
Gus throw, pole vault, broad jump
and half-rnile relay.
The highest Of praise due the
Agricultural College students for
their entertainment. At six O'Clock
on Saturday evening college banquet
was given, to which all of the visit
ing teams and coaches were invited.
Immediately following the banquet a
''get acquainted affair was held in
the gymnasium, at which time the
medals were awarded to the winning
athletes. The Langdon team is es-
pecially grateful to the Agricultural
College students for being entertain.

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Courier Democrat:

Editor Courier Democrat:
The condition of the roads at the
present time are such that show there
is something radically wrong with
our system OF maintaining and repair
ing our highways Culverts that
were washed out in the spring floods
are II a great man. cases still in the
same conultlan Grades that cost
hundreds vi collars - build have Yuts
in them over a foot deep in places
and are hard trial to teams and au-
tos that have to use them.
Farmers have no time in the spring
30 attend to roads, as to get their
crops sowed in the right season every
team and man is needed in the fields.
The same condition applies from the
time harvest starts till the ground
freezes up in the fall, so the roads
are left to take care Of themselves.
The remedy that would offer for
these conditions IS for the county
commissioners to hire say, two men
and two teams in eacn of the commits
sioner districts, whose duty it would
be 10 drag and repair the roads.
These rn4n to be nireG for tire whole
season and paid good wages so as to
get competent men. They should be
under the direct control of the com
missioner Of each district and paid
out OF the county road and bridge
fund.
There is nothing new or original in
this, as it is a plan that is followed
in all countries where they have
good roads built OF material which is
not nearly so apt to get out of repair
as our earthen highways. We hear
a great deal these days about reforms
that should be carried out at Bis
marck and the terminal markets some
of which are doubtless needed. There
| is an improvement that we can make
right at home that will save US many
times its cost and in the comfort ant
safety of every one who uses the
highways.

''MERRY FOUNDERS"
MAKES BIG HIT

Max Spicge1's "Merry Rounders,'
featuring Abe Reynolds and George
F.. Hayes, two Of the best known
comedians on the burlesque stage to-
day, is here for only a few days more
at the Grand theater. A specially Sc
lected cast Of principals support
Reynolds, including May Latham,
who heads the women, and the
soubrette, Elizabeth Jane. The
chorus Of twenty -four girls has been
chosen with an eye for beauty, grace
and voice. Eugene MacGregor, a
newcomer to burlesque, is in one of
the important roles and Frank Ward
assumes the juvenile role. Miss Ruth
Wesley is another delightful principal
in the show this year One of the
novelties of this years production is
the scene from TangOland, the finale
of the first act, in which the black
and white contrast in stage decorating
and costumes is carried out to a de-
gree never before seen in burlesque.
Another novelty is the dance evolu-
ton, showing the various forms of
dancing in vogue from 1912 until the
present day. These are only two of
the novelties introduced throughout
the action of the show, which is rich
in comedy material, and replete with
song hits.

there was plenty Of time, no need to
any definite date.
And so we didn't hurry and we
didn't set any definite dates.
And now the summer had gone
without our having done any of these
good things.
1t seemed inconceivable. But it was
true.
Then someone suggested a plan for
that happy comforter of this years
mlStakeS.-neXt year.
We Had Had Too Much Time.
The reason we had not done anv of
these Things, said she, was that we had
mad too much time. If we had On1v
been down for two weeks we would
nave done all of them. To try to find
a day in the whole summer to do anv
special thing was like trying to find q
needle in haystack. 1t was easier
to find day in a single week. So next
summer we would try to do some one
/ special thing each week. And then
when the summer has passed we shall
have surely done some of these happy
] things we mean to do.
[ wonder how that plan will work.
| 1t sounds plausible, doesn't it?
Well, maybe I'll tell you at the
| end Of next summer.
You see, it never occurred to me-
| that I might put it into practice now
| for winter Plans are never for now
] They're always for next something.
