RED CROSS PICNIC

At meeting held Tuesday evening
at the club rooms of the Langdon
Auditorium it was found that the con-
census of opinion favored the holding
of an old fashioned Fourth of July
picnic under the auspices of the local
Red Cross organization as a means of
raising funds for carrying on the work
the local auxiliary of the society has
taken up. The picnic is to be held
in the grove on the Campbell and Ry-
an farm sixteen miles east of Lang
don and three miles south of Olga.
Arrangements for the day include the
securing of an out of town speaker.
The band is to be there and baseball
game and other sports will help fill in
the afternoon. Parties will provide
themselves with picnic baskets, but
will be able to secure coffee, light re.
freshments and ice cream on the pic.
mic grounds at a moderate costs. All
the proceeds, including nominal ad.
mission charged to the picnic grounds,
will help swell the funds of the Rec
Cross society.

ty conventions called in the other

titude taken in the worlds war.

TOTAL co. REGISTRATION 14se

County Auditor o. ]. Eide reports
that the complete figures of the regis
tration in Cavalier county on Tuesday
of last week was 1886. From the
daily papers it would appear that
preparations are going ahead to speed
up if possible the making of the sell
ective draft, which arrording to late
information will be for l, 5OO,O 900 in
stead of 500, 600 as at first reported.
Efforts are being put forth to select
those whose names will be furnished
for the first draft 80 as to have it take
place simultaneously over the entire
United States by August 1st. Mon
day of this week was the last oppor-
tunity for those who didn' t register to
hand in their names so as to avoid ar
rest for evading the law.

LANGDON'S FIRST DEPOT AGENT

Langdon old timers, who date back
to the time when the town first ap.
peared upon the railroad map-thirty
years ago in l887-can look forward
in the near future to renewing the ac-
quaintance of "Bob" Keenan, the first
depot agent that Jim Hill sent to look
after his railroad interests here.
Back in those days it wasn't the Great
Northern, but the rolling stock of the
road was marked est. P. M. & M.
Ry." w-a-days Mr.. Keenan, is
travelling salesman of the whosesale
firm of Chicago clothiers, Alb. Kuisch.
