promptly forgotten afterward: that
nothing has been available for the

that the same conditions prevail to-

the gauntlet to the rest OF South

because the remainder Of the city.

LANGDON'S BABY WEEK
CREATES BIG INTEREST
Over Fifty Babies Here From All
Over the County-Big Parade
Saturday Afternoon

The three afternoons of last week.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June
1st, End, and 3rd-when programs
devoted to the topic of "The Child's
Welfare, - were given, was we'll at
tended and a far bigger success that
had been anticipated. The affair,
planned by the woman's club was
Langdon's observance of what is be-
coming recognized all over the United
States as ''Baby Week.
In the three afternoons after the
rendition of the program an invitation
was given to those who had babies
with them to have examined by the
doctors of Langdon and surrounding
towns. AS a demonstration of the
interest taken in Langdon's first OBJ
servance of Baby Week, fifty little
one within the baby period of age
were examined. Of these seventeen
were found to be free from physical
defects. Eleven of these being baby
girls and the remaining balance of
six, baby boys. The families having
babies included in this honor roll fol-
low:
Girl Babies-H. Albrecht, j. C.
Cummings, S. Diemert, S. Gould, M.
Klein, j. Stremich, j. L. Schwartz,
O. E. Serum, ]. P. Tembreull,
Us. Roth and ]. Webber.
Boy Babies-C. Anderson, M.
Fuchs, G. Lothspeich, r. o. Miller,
A. Waldner and A. Witzel
All the programs were both enter
tanning and instructive, but perhaps
the most significant demonstration of
the large amount of success attending
Langdon's first observance of Baby
| Week was the parade of babies held
Saturday afternoon. The weather
was adverse to a baby parade, but
the youngsters and their attendants
responded to the occasion with a
splendid show of bravery in defiance
to the blustry wind which filled the
air with dust. Upwards of twenty
baby carriages were in line each show.

equipment in the parade, the winner
being Mrs. j. P. Tembreull.

Gated at Auburn, n. y, was drowned

ed Langdon friends through the
columns of Thursdays Grand Forks

the happening through his brother
Rev. J. X. Burleson Details as to
the accident followed in letter from
the widow and show that the deceas-
ed, accompanied by one of his choir
boys had padded out in a canoe on to
the lake about half past seven O clock
on the morning of Decoration Day.
About one o. clock a squall came up,
which it is believed capsized the
small craft. An hour and a half
later, about half past two O'Clock,
in the afternoon, persons who had
been on the lake shore telephoned
to the Burleson residence that the
canoe and paddles had drifted in.
No trace of the minister or choir boy
has been found since. Mr.. Burleson
it is understood could swim, but the
boy could not. 1t is likely, however,
that both went down together Ow-
ing to the fact that Owcsco Lake is
very deep and cold it is feared that
the bodies may never be recovered.
