 We have the window shades for the school, and have ordered lamps. Our school is progress ing nicely, the children are all very much interested in their studies, and we are proud to re- port them doing well.
 As the spring weather comes on, let us endeaver to get the children and young people inter- ested in the work around home.
 We have all been housed" more or less this past cold, dis agreeable winter. and will all welcome the warmer weather. If we can get the help of all, it will work wonders toward put ting farm homes in better order. For instance, let the children, both boys and girls, think they are doing something worth while. And they can do, and will, with all willingness. if they get the proper encouragement from the older ones.
 Let's encourage them to help us clean up, and plant seeds in all the hooks and corners" in- stead of allowing them to ''gali- want" around in idleness. Of course a goodly amount of play is good for youngsters. As you know, all work and no play makes a dull boy of Jack" and the same rule will of course ap- ply to Jill" But if you will manage them so as to get them interested in the helping of us, with an occasional half holiday, Pm sure they will spend thelr vacation with as much content ment, and with a better feeling than if they are allowed to idle the time.
 Some parents may read this and say My children are al- ways at work, 1 didn't need that advice" Perhaps so, but, do they go at it willingly or do you have to drive them to 1t?

Credit for Knitters.

Realizing also that knitters de-
serve recognition of their services,
the following schedule has been
adopted to govern their work: For
each sweater that is turned a woman
shall receive credit for 16 hours work
for each pair of socks, IA hours; for
each pair of wristlets, 7 hours; for
each helmet, II hours; and for each
scraf. 8 hours. If the chapters in the
division, as a whole, will adopt this
schedule it will aid in maintaining
Uniformity throughout the entire divi-
sion and will eliminate to some extent
the friction caused when one chapter
gives the same reward for less work
than another.

GOD AND DEMocRAcY,s STAKE.

The American people, indeed, have
risked their all in this war-and it is q
glorious thing to have done, for the
needs and the ends amply justify it. If
we are defeated it means not merely
the loss of lives and treasure, but per-
haps Of u independence and our de-
mocracy. Yes, we may even say
that if, with US, the allies are beat
en- and a peace dictated from Berlin
shall result, it will set civilization
back from three to five centuries, says
the Living Church. Free democracy
would, ever so, sometime live again,
but many generations would probably
rise and fall before that would come
to pass. Whatever progress we have
made in solving the problem Of de-
mocracy we have staked upon the out
come of the war-and wisely. With
such a stake we cannot afford to lapse
into hysteria. Amid all the rocking Of
the foundations Of the world there is
just one power that is absolutely
stable, absolutely mistaken, absolutely
certain to dominate in the final ana1y-
sis, whatever be the vicissitudes that
may come to pass. And that power
ts--Almighty God.

AN OPEN LETTER
Editor Courier Democrat
To Residents and Taxpayers of Lang

Editor Courier emocra
To Residents and Taxpayers of Lang
don:
At this time with the period rapid
ly approaching upon which you will
be called upon to elect your repre-
%sentatives to transact your municipal
affairs for another term, it may be
expedient to review a few of the
principal transactions of the past
two years. Subsequent to the cleo
ton of 1916, about the first problem
we were called upon to solve was the
question of street s%prinkling by oil
or water. This caused a great deal
of discussion in the council, some
members advocating the merits of
oil while others took the part of
water, but all though it necessary to
sprinkle the main street and as much
outside of that domain as we could
handle with me team for the pre-
servation of health and comfort of
the citizens. 1t was deemed neces-
sary to try to keep down the dust in
the central part of the city as much
as possible. We finally decided that
water was cheaper and not liable to
advance in price and ordered a water
sprinkler costing about $4,000, and
since putting it in motion have had
fairly good service over a limited
area. With the installation of water
works and an easy method of filling
the sprinkler in the central districts
a great deal more territory can be
covered by the same equipment, and
it is expected that during the next
season the dust on all the principal
streets car be kept under subsection
This is absolutely necessary as We
found last summer. Any person who
has lived on a frequented street dur.
ing a dry spell knows how much dust
can be created by the repeated treat
of the rapidly revolving wheels of thu

1t is not only your wish and your
privilege, but your duty as well to
make the best possible use Of your
natural endowments and occult pow
ers for your betterment, your uplift-
ment, your enrichment in "body, mind
and estate" says Nautilus. The plea
that has often been put forth
by the old thought that it may not
be Gods will that you should pros
per in any but. spiritual ways is null
lifted by the declaration Of the
Masters that ut is your Fathers
good pleasure to give you the
kingdom"-unto which all else is to
be added-and that God is more will
ing to give good gifts to his chill
dren than they are to receive them"
Being a part Of God as the wave Is
a part Of the sea, ard therefore with
the same quality creativeness and the
same material from which to create,
you have sin the house" the stuff from
which to build a life and a living and
the same tool with which to manipu-
late 1t rs is used by God himself

Imagination. Store keepers tell me
they have made more money during
the last three years than any time
since they were in business. We
never had fewer people drawing on
the poor fund. Some say, why did
you not wait until after the war was
over and all the war debts paid? If
we want them(and a great many have
said words to that effect) we want
them during our life time. We want
them for better surroundings for
ourselves and our families. We
want them for the better develop
ment of the town in which we live
and, friends, it seems to me when
everything is considered the expense
as it will be distributed over many
years of payments will not be felt
as much as anticipated. The pay
ments in warrants now draw 6 per
cent but they contain the clause con
or before" which entitled us to take
them up any time we can get cheaper
money by bonding. The warrants for
the main contract have been sold to
the Minneapolis Trust Company and
the money placed to u credit. Part
of it has been checked out in pay
ment for material on the ground and
labor performed to date. On the
unused portion to our credit, the
contractor has agreed to stand the
difference in interest. That is, we
get 21a per cent from the bank and
the contractor pays the difference
between that and 6 per cent until the
date of settlement arrives. This was
done so as not to take any chance on
the money proposition which might
become tight at any time.
The more I study the benefit to be
derived from sewer and water
systems for a city like ours, the bet
ter and more necessary they appear
to me, and should I decide to, become
a candidate for another term as
Mayor, my principal ideal for the
city's benefit would be to see these
systems installed completely and per-
fectly and in a substantial manner in
order to guarantee to the citizens Of
Langdon the best possible service
over a long period of years .
Just a few words in conclusion to
mention the attitude of the city coun-
Gil as well as the auditor and city
attorney who have all been called up
on to sacrifice more than during an
ordinary years business with little
extra compensation, each and every
one has given literally of his time
and ability to the numerous problems
that have developed during the past
years and the demeanor Of the coun-
Gil has been harmonious with strict
attention given to the numerous
details of the city's business.
Very respectfully yours,
John j. Power, Mayor.
