A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

The Y. M. C. A., drive for the
war fund which has been national
campaign during the past week has
had gratifying and highly successful
results, from all reports that are
available at this time.
Here in Cavalier county, where at
the last minute the amount to be raised
was advanced one third-from, So, 600
to 81, OOO-the returns coming from
both the town and country solicitors
show that more than the amount asked
for has been contributed by the people
of Cavalier county.
Langdon has the credit of having
raised at least $3.50, and possibly
nearly 81, 600 of this and the way in
which the workers had theira task
mapped out has much to do with the
success which brought about such
handsome achievement. It is expect
ed that detailed statement OF what
was done in the different parts of the
county will be available next week.
At this time there is an immense
amount of satisfaction in knowing
that Cavalier county held up her end
in such fine shape in providing for the
comforts and attention which this or.
ganization is providing for our
soldier boys.

Presented With a Purse of Gold

On Friday evening of last week the
people who have been attending the
services more or less during the ten
years ministrations of the retiring
pastor, Rev. F. J. Hibbard, were
present at a gathering which filled to
capacity the body of the church. The
occasion was a farewell to the pastor
and his family, who have left during
the present week for their new home
at Crookston, MINI.
Addresses of felicitation and we'll
wishes were given the first place on
the program that had been arranged,
although the choir had an appreciated
part in making the evening one that
will for quite time be pleasantly
recalled by all present. Just before
the adjournment to the basement,
where coffee. ice cream and cake where
served by the ladies Of the guild a
short talk was given by DR.. Tom Smith
on behalf of the officers and members
of the church and at the close purse
of gold was rendered Mr.. Hibbard
together with the expressed wish of
all that his valuable work in his new
field of labor may meet with a proper
appreciation on the part Of the people
of that community.

being one of the few strictly singing

entertainment parts in their pros ram,
such as humorous songs, in pianologs,

different about their concerts, is that
each member is first of all a good
singer and by long, association and
constant work together, they have
brought their quartet singing up to
standard seldom reached by COM
panies that we are privileged to hear
in Langdon.
Not all of their songs arr of ga.
