Needles in Stock.

Nc6dleS In StOCK.
There has been such a dearth Of
knitting needles in the local market
and the demand has been so great
for them everywhere that it is a diff
flcult task to procure them, but a
number suitable for the Red Cross
knitting may be found now at the
Oden store. A number Of women
here who have been anxious to take
up the knitting of socks and other
articles for the Red Cross have been
unable to do so because the most
necessary implement-the needle
could not be found. Now that there
are some on the market, these ambi-
tious ones will be able to join forces
with the already large company of
knitters at work here.

LANGDON'S Three BANKS
HAVE SI,258,275 DEPOSITS
March Call Statements Show New
Record for County Seat Banks
Over Million and Quarter

In their call statements published
last week Langdon's three banks, the
First National, Cavalier County and
Citizen State, show combined depos-
its which amount in the aggregate to
81, 258, 275. .4l-upwards of one and
a quarter millions of dollars. We
feel sure that the showing is one of
the best that has yet been made of
the financial status of Langdon when
placed in line with towns of its own
size and larger over the northern part
of the state. Locally the three banks
of Langdon each have broken any rec
ord of past years in statements shown,
while incidentally the increase in de.
posits, cash, loans and discounts, etc
is a most fattering one over their last
statements on December 9th. The
banks of Grafton, Park River and other
towns of like size have got to get in.
to line with million and a quarter
of deposits and much bigger footings
before they can lay claim to the
wealth and financial standing which
Langdon has now attained. Inciden.
tally attention is called to the fact
that the towns of Osnabrock, Hannah
and Milton. in this county each make
a showing of over $500, 900 deposits
in their statements Of last week.
When the twenty odd banks in the
county have been heard from their
aggregate wealth is one that will
place Cavalier county way up at the
head of the list of counties in the
state with the possible exceptions of
Grand Forks and Cass counties.

LANGDON'S ORGANIZED
LIVE WIRE "BOOSTERS',
Have Accomplished Big Things for the City in
Ten Years of Active Work

Langdon's Commercial Club has
done much for the upbuilding of the
city since its organization. In addi-
tion to the recently completed audi
torium, there are any number of pub
lie improvements that can be credited
to the effort put forth when the club
put its shoulder to the wheel. The
fact of the matter is the Commercial
Club has been behind everything that
Langdon has accomplished of any size
during the past ten years. Among
those that occur to mind on the mo-
ment are the new Great Northern de.
pot, the securing for Langdon of the
sub-station experimental farm, the
reorganization of the Cavalier county
fair association, and the holding of an
annual farmers county convention and
mid-winter fair in Langdon. Now
the commercial club is hot on the
trail of flour mill and is going to get
it. Next on the card no doubt will
be the sewerage and waterworks pro-
ject that is being given consideration
by our city authorities. If the club
gets behind this it will help a whole
lot. Every member of the Langdon
Commercial Club is booster and the
clubs membership should include all
who have the welfare of the town in
which they live at heart.

MAKE LAMGDON'S LIBRARY
WORTHY OF ITS NAME
Woman's Club Advances Reasons for A skiing an
Increase of City Appropriation

Attention City Voters. The Lang
don public library is an institution
long appreciated by a considerable
constituency, but it now seeks lar
ger place in the communal life. The
library occupies one of the finest rooms
in the Auditorium which has already
become the civic center of Langdon.
The new room is commodious, light
and attractive. The Langdon Wo.
mans Club has charge of the library,
the members of which give a large
amount of time and attention to its
care and the selection of books. The
change in location has increased the
maintenance charge in the items of
rent, light and heat. Heretofore the
city has paid 5000 a year toward
this maintenance. This sum, how
ever, is not sufficient to enable the
library to be kept open and to be eff
cient and it is proposed by the city
council to give 5000 additional, out
they ask the voters to go back of them
in this matter. 1t is therefore to be
voted upon at the spring election.
Those specially interested in the il
brary proposition urge all citizens to
visit the library in its new location
and see for themselves what has been
done and is planned for the future so
they can vote jnte)ligently upon this
matter.
The 5000 increase will make but
few cents extra tax upon any one per.
son and it will aid in giving US a IL
brary worthy the name. 1t is the in
tention of the ladies to keep the Ii.
brary open as public reading room.
