QUICK-JoHNsoN NUPTIALs

Miss Bessie Quick, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. E. W. Quick, of this city,
and Mr.. Alex johnson were two pop
ular young people united in marriage
on Tuesday forenoon at the home of
the bride-on Fifth street. Rev. F.

quiet wedding attended by only few
of the more intimate friends of the
family. The bridal couple were at
tended in the capacity of bridesmaid
and best man by Miss Myrtle Falconer
and Mr.. Jay Quick. At high noon
the wedding party and assembled
guests were served with a course din
ner, the newlyweds leaving on the
afternoon train for honeymoon trip
which includes visit at the former
home Of the groom at Little Falls,
MINI. The home of MIR. and Mrs.
johnson it is understood will be in

been associated with Mr.. Quick as a
contractor and builder. will start in

SALE OF LIBERTY BONDS
IS BIG over THE COUNTY
Every Town in Cavalier County
Enters Into Enthusiastic Cam
paign of Patriotism

Langdon. through it's three banks
and individual patriotic residents,
may be expected to step into line
with a purchase of the government 8
issue of Liberty Loan Bonds to the
extent upon conservative estimate
of at least $50, 600. Possibly half
Fof this amount will be taken care of
f.,y the local banks, while already
bonds have been issued to Langdon
residents in denominations of $50
and 500. One, ,Langdon man, re-
tired farmer, whose name we have
been asked to Withhold, subscribed for
Liberty Loan Bonds to the amount of
$500 last Friday and it is evident
that the campaign is at present only
getting started. Other Cavalier
county towns would appear to be en-
tering into friendly rivalry in re.
spending to the call for showing of
financial patriotism.
In the western part of the county
Banke. McMillan's home town has q
lead on its neighbors, while there is
an exceptionally live movement at
Calvin. Reports also reached the
county seat Monday that quite an en-
thusiasm was evident among bond
buyers at Osnabrock and Milton.
The only indication is that Cavalier
county's quota of purchase of Liberty
Loan Bonds Wilt be nearer $75, OOC
than $50, 600, the anticipated mark
of few days ago.

LETTERS FROM MACDONALD

Superintendent N. C.. Macdonald,
of the state educational department,
has addressed letters to the school
boards of towns, villages, and the ru-
raj districts making the suggestion
that the opening of the fall term of
school should be postponed from early
in September until October 1st. Su-
perintendent Macdonald says: "In
such year as this there is no sense
in turning boys out of school in
June and July and calling them in
again on the opening of the fall term
before the harvest has been cared
for. Over the state he says there
are some 5000 big able bodied boys
whose assistance with the farm work
this fall will mean something in keep
ing down the heavy expense in hand
ling the crop-to feed our own people
and the warning nations of Europe.

MT. CARMEL z. M. INJURED

Peter Zettel, the Mt. Carmel mer-
chant and postmaster, is confined to
his bed and laid up for repairs as the
result of bad injuries sustained Satur-
day afternoon in a runaway returning
from trip to Dresden with load of
freight for his Mt. Carmel store. He
was nearing the end of the trip and
within a short distance of home when
one of the horses became unman-
agable, Mr.. Zettel being thrown on
his head from his seat on top of the
box of the wagon. The fall for a
time left him unconscious, but the
team was brought to stop by his
twelve year old son who had accom-
panied him on the tri . to town. An
auto happening along at the time took
him home. A medical examination
by Langdon doctors the same evening
showed most of the injuries were
sustained by the fall on. his head, a
skull fracture being feared.

TIME TO ACT

1t is now up to the supreme court
of the state to hand down decision
favoring either the republican party
or the non. partisan league in their
opposed views of the modus operandi
attending the election that is to be
held in the First Congressional Dist
rict of North Dakota, for the purpose
of naming a candidate to fill out the
unexpired term of the late Congress.
man H. T. Helgeson. The contention
of the republicans is that the con.
gressional vacancy does not come un-
der the primary election law of this
state and is therefore controlled by
the election law in vogue prior to its
enactment. Two weeks ago the re-
publicans of the district, through their
state central committee set June Goth
as the date for the holding of their
district convention. which is to be
held at Grand Forks, and preceded by
county conventions and caucuses on
June 18th and 9Th, respectively. In
proclamation under date of last Fri
day, issued by Governor Frazier the
10th day of July is the date set for
the holding of primary election in
all voting precincts in the First dist.
rict. Congressional candida tes to
have their name places on the ballot
in their party column by petition as
provided for under the primary law.
This brings double header that puts
the matter into the supreme court of
the state, in which the request for a
ruling naturally has attached to it a
p. d. q. tag from all parties concerned.
