DISLOYALTY |S REhSON GIVEN

Adolph Smith was a perfectly good dairyman employed at the State Hos pital for the Insane. That is, he was until day or two ago and then he ceased drawing pay from the state ail because of the fact that, notWithstand- ing he is a native born American, he has decided pro German tendencies and doesn't hesitate to express them- Ac- cording to Superintendent A. c. Kings ley. Smiths utterances were calculated to disrupt the morale of the other employees, all Of whom so far as known glory in their Americanism and have fullest regard for the flag.
 For several days after congress for mallv declared that a state Of war exists between the United States and Germany, Smith is said to have been particularly talkative, his conversation being along lines decidedly in contra vention to the fixed principles of the true American One could have easily imagined, so it is said, that Smith saw more good in Kaiser Bill than in President Wilson. Soon word of Smiths attitude reached the ears of Superintendent Kingsley. Thereupon he is said to have directed the steward to make an accounting of Smiths ser vice and to settle with him then and there.
 The steward, so the story goes, en- tered upon his task with much gusto. and in informing Smith that he was no longer in the employ of the state, advised him that a hurried exit would be quite in keeping with the trend Of affairs Smiths departure took on something of the nature of the move ment of one who in war times is '.drummed out of camp. Employes off duty are said to have seen to it that Smith did not hesitate as he made his way, trunk dragging behind, to- ward the big gates in front of the administration building where he later managed to hail a stage bound for this city, And so Smith left the hospital under circumstances he could' hardly have foreseen when he enrolled as an employe some time before.

many larger towns and cities than
Langdon that are rated as third class
offices. A postoffice to have rating
in the second class must for one thing
be able to show an aggregate of bust
ness done during the preceding year
exceeding So, 900 and there are other
indications needed to show a general
all round development of business.
All this means that Langdon is grow

banks show it in their deposits and
the aggregate of business in all lines
show it. Langdon is going right
ahead and when one avenue of indus

FAIRY OPERETTA A SUCCESS

The rendition last Friday evening
at the Opera House of the fairy op.
eretta entitled, GA Rose Dream" by
the children of the first three grades
of the primary department of the
Langdon city schools was an affair
which as the initial event of the clos
ing exercises of the school year fully
came up to the expectations of the
audience in attendance and reflected
a large measure of credit upon the
individual members of the cast of the
piece and their teachers, who have
done excellent work in training the
children at their rehearsals. The
proceeds, it is understood after the
expenses have been met. go toward
the purchase of art pictures and other
decorations for the class rooms of the

BIG EVENT AT ELECTRIC

On page seven of this issue is to be
found large display advertisement
of the famous photo.play, "Civiliza-

the most wonderful ever produced,
and many critics say it even outclasses
it. The production of Civilization"
was accomplished at an outlay of over

brought to the Electric theatre here
in Langdon on Saturday of next week,
May 10Th. at no small outlay and ex.
pense. This will be the one and only
opportunity to see it and special af-
ternoon and evening performances for
that day have been arranged to take
care of the out of town crowd. The
Electric, with Morris Orton as pro-
prietor and Mr.. Cyril Radford as man.
ager, certainly deserves every en-.
couragement for its effort to secure
the best plays that are produced for
their Langdon patrons and with the

cured for the summer season should

The object of introducing this class is
to bring out an exhibit of the best
grade horses in the county in each of
the four heavy draft breeds given
above. The new class we should have
stated is open only to fillies and GEL
dings.
What we believe many will con.
slider to be a more important addition
to the premium list this year is made
in the cattle department of the county
fair. The new feature is a Consola-
tion Purse of $25. 90 for Cattle Breed
ers, this is offered by the fair associ-
alton to each exhibitor Of a herd of
pure bred cattle, living at distance
of more than ten miles from Langdon.
The rules and regulations of the cattle
department of the fair defines the
term "herd" as meaning bull, one
year old or over; COW, three years
old or over; cow or heifer two years
old or under; a heifer one year and
under two and heifer calf. In the
instance of the Consolation Purse
however, the condition is altered 80
that the calf entered in the formation
of the herd may be either a bull or
heifer calf. The object of the associ.
alton in offering this purse is to en-,
able the cattle breeders of the county
who live at distance from Langdon
to enter exhibits and not have to
shoulder the entire burden of the ex-
pense which it would otherwise entail
1t might be also we'll to mention that
the consolation purse is offered in ad.
dition to the usual premiums found in
