|LANGDON'S JUNIOR RED
CROSS HAS DRIVE $500

To the sixty.seven boys who have
left homes in and around Langdon in
the past few months to enter the ser.
vice of Uncle Sam on the battle field
in France it will afford no little
interest and pleasure to learn of the
varied line of activities that have been
taken up in the past week or ten days
by the pupils of the Senior and Junior
high schools of Langdon in their Red
Cross campaign drive.
Since the school undertook onW ash
ington's Birthday to organize branch
of the Junior Red Cross, each of the
six grades, composing the two high
schools have been pulling off compet--
tive stunts to out do each other in
raising funds for the Red Cross, the
incentive being which should by head
ing the list be the first to enter Berlin.
The results have been most crafty
ing with total aggregating upwards
of $500, with the pupils Of the Eight
Grade having the honor to head the
list. 1t has been strenuous week
for the pupils and their teachers, and
it may also be said that the heads Of
the families Of the boys and girls had
somewhat of financial inkling of
what the drive amounted to.

WQODMAH MONSTER SALE
FOR LkNGD0N RED CROSS

Saturday, March 10th, one week
from now, is the date of the monster
auction sale beng held by the Modern
Woodmcn Of the Langdon Canp p. As
everyone knows the roads during the
past week haze been such as to make
1t impossible fer the out of town com
mlttees to make q proper canvas of
their d!s !strlcts, but work has heen un-
Ger way that promises to make the
aa!e come up to th2 highest exqecta-
tions Of all. A. e. Harrington, who
is making the list OF donations to this
big Red Cross sale Of the Wocdmen
urges that all articles to be offered at
this sale be listed with him net later
than Monday of next week, as it is
planned to give complete list, as
lar as possible, in the Langdon papers
of next week. Donations to date have
been most generous. Hon. P, c..
Olson, Of Elkwood has given pig.
There ls a sewing machine, donated
by A. 0. Void, load of hay, a gold
watch and in fact everything from a
load cf grain to a dozen of eggs. All
the Langdon merchants are going to
spread themselves in this effort on
behalf Of the Red Cross. They have
also interested the various wholesale
houses in which they are connected in
this greatest drive ever undertaken
in the county..for the Red Cross. Great
results are expected. Let everyone dc
their share. Next week there will
be all the details available for the
public regarding this monster Rec
Cross benefit auction sale, that is being
gotten up by the Modern Woodmen oil

Convention Visitors Tagged

During the farmers convention of
last week there were number of
most praise worthy individual effol ts
put forth fer the raising of donations
for Red Cross work, from the differ.
ent branches of the Cavalier coun ~
chapter, There was q young pig, which
before leaving town with its owner,
after changing hands not less than
half dozen times was responsible ifJr
placing in the treasury OF the Red
Cross a contribution of not less than
than one hundred dollars. Another
feature .hat gave the society quite a
boost was a sack Of Victory" flour
that was given several turns on the
street of speculation during the fair
before it got into the flour bin of a
Cavalier county housewife. The co.,
vention week visitor who did not wear
the emblem of the Red Cross while in
Langdon last week was really the ex-
ception to the rule. 1t is estimated
that from all sources not less than a
thousand dollars was realized for this
work before the closing session of the
convention was reached.
