Friday nights freight brought to
Langdon three carloads of automobiles
for local dealers. The Ramage garage
was fortunate in receiving another
consignment of Fords while Messrs
MCLAUGHLIN & Stranger unloaded two
cars of Chevrolets. Indications at the
outset of the seaaon show buyers in
Cavalier county are finding plenty of
spare cash left with which to buy auto
mobiles after doing their bit in putting
the Third Liberty Loan campaign over
successfully.
This week the Courier Democrat is
again arriving at the homes of its
readers all over the county on schedule
time after two weeks of trouble in
its press room and mechanical depar t..
ment that has delayed the issuing Of
the paper. to a great amount of in.
convenience to ourselves and disp-
pointment generally. 1t is to be hoped
that the experience is one that we
won't be up against again in hurry.
For the past two weeks the Office has
been able to appreciate courtesies that
have been extended to it by our con.
temporary, the Republican.

Baptist Church
c o M MUNITY SINGING

About one hundred service men
were entertained at the College Ave

ing by the Philathea Sunday School
class, taught by Mrs. NJ. E. Fullerton.
Il was called a Halloween party,
though it was given day after Hal
loween, since the church's prayer
meeting is held on Thursday night.
The parlors of the church had been
decorted by the young ladies with au-
tumn leaves and corn stalks with
black cats, witches and blinking
pumpkins, so that you found yourself
transported back to the Middle Ages
and were not certain that you would
not be transformed by the witch's art
into frog, white doe or a tree.

golden harvest
The program was a varied one of
vocal and instrumental music, recita-
tions and games.
The popular and patriotic songs
were rendered by the young ladies and
their friends, and were received with
the greatest applause.
The community singing was the spe-
cial feature of the occasion. The
service men love to sing, and the call
of the refreshment committee, at first,
fell upon unheeding ears. However,
the steaming coffee and ginger cake
and pumpkin pies like mother used
to make" with a hunt for apples,
gained the day; and thus closed a
most delightful evening with the en-
listed men
