Notice to the Public

On account of the situation in the
meat business, which compels US to
pay high prices and spot cash for all
goods, whether bought of a farmer or
of a packing house company, and the
great increase in the cost of conduct
ing the business, we the undersigned,
have found it necessary to do bust
ness strictly on a cash basis. We
have been buying a part of our goods
of packing houses on from ten to
thirty days time No time or discount
is now allowed, we have to pay spot
cash for all goods, freight, drayage,
help, etc.. and in turn a sell only
for cash at the shops. The delivery
will be discontinued on February LIST,
and between now and that date, all
persons owing accounts for meat must
settle their bills.

Ne Letters from Company F..

No letters have reached Langdon
relatives during the past ten days
from any of the boys who left here
with Company E., and who when last
heard from were at TenaAy, N. j.,
at Camp Merritt. Letters dated the
Bird and 18th inst, tell of their pack
ing up and other preparations for the
trip overseas and were the last mail
ed and it is now quite apparent that
the next word to come will tell of
their arrival in France. In one in
stance alcard is stated as being re.
ceived, that was mailed on the dock,
just as they were going aboard the
transport for their voyage across the
Atlantic to France. Those who were
in quarantine have been left in hos
pitfalls and will accompany other units
as soon as discharged with a clean
bill of health.

Pencils in Japan-


An unthought-of result of the war
has been the creation of a lead-pencil
industry in Japan. In 1911 Japan i'm
ported 65,000,00O pencils, most of
which came from America and Ger
many. But with the opening of the
European conflict German sources Of
supply were cut off and native manu-
facturers, who had been producing
only in comparatively small quantities,
seized their opportunity and made the
most OF it. In 1914 Japan exported
over nine million pencils and in 1916
the number had increased to 168,OOO,-
O0O. There is strong indication, OBJ
serves a writer, that many of the mar
kets won by the Orientals will be held
by them after the war, for they have
the advantage of very cheap labor.
Most of the lead which they use is
imported from India and this country.

Arrive and Depart.

"Arrivals" and departures" have a
definite place in French trench philol-
ogy. When the American troops first
entered the trenches their French COM
rades were very anxious to have them
distinguish accurately between the
noise Of "arr1ves" and "departs." 81
thought they We're talking harbor
c%learances at first" said one Yankee
lad. "Then I heard a. low, whining
sound and a shell exploded behind us.
I'm %arrive,' said my companion. He
signifed that it was a present from
the Germans. Soon there was a louder.
sharper sound. 1t was a responsive
roar from u own batteries. sUn de-
part he said with great satisfaction.
VOLTA! we had it. The exchange Of
artillery fire is, after all, a matter of
arrivals and departures Needless
to say, the departs enjoy the wider
popularity"

Farmers Paper Meeting

A WORD WITH WOMEN
Valuable Advice for Langdon Readers Is Given
by Well Known Lady Resident

Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of back.
ache, pains about the hips, blues,
nervous spells, dizziness and nervous
disorders, hopeless of relief, because
she doesn't know what is the matter.
1t is not true that every pain in
the back or the hips is trouble "pecu.
liar to the SEX" Often, when the
kidneys get congested and inflamed,
such aches and pains follow. Then
help the weakened kidneys. Don't
expect them to get we'll alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They
are endorsed at home. Read this Lang
don woman's convincing statement:
Mrs. Ed. Godfrey, of north Fifth
street, says: 81 used Doan's Kidney
Pills off and on for some time and I
know what a good remedy they are.
When I have had trouble with my
kidneys, I have suffered with dull,
steady aches in the small of my back.
l have often been so lame l could
hardly keep up. l have been very
dizzy and have felt all run down.
A box or so of D.oan's Kidney Pills
has always relieved the complaint
quickly and I have a lot of faith in
Them"
Price sixty cents at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy

AN OFFICIAL STORY TELLER
Libraries in Canada Find Special Fea.
ture for the Entertainment of
Children Is Worth While.

In several of the public libraries of
Canada story telling to children has
for some years been a special feature,
says an exchange. Each Saturday morn.
ing from fifty to one hundred children
assemble at the library in a room set
apart for the purpose and called the
"Children's Room" The ages of the
children vary from six to fourteen
years.
At st. John, New Brunswick, story
telling has been continued now for
three years. This year it has been
found advisable to divide the children
according to age and to hold two
classes of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown in interest,
and the demand for books of a less
trivial type justifes the work Of the
committee in charge. During the sum-
mer, when opportunity offers and a
story-teller of note is a guest Of the
city, notice is given to the library. and
it is often possible to have a special
session.
