WAR CHANGE IS OF
BENEFIT TO MINERS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July az
Suspension of the law requiring assess
ment work on mining claims for the
period of the war is provided In a
resolution passed by the Senate and
expected to be speedily enacted into
law.
Last year Congress passed res
olution suspending this recruitment OF
the mining laws during the years 1917
and 1918. The new perposal Is to ex-
tend this exemption to the /, end OF
the war. and until December 81 of the
year following. Congress previously
to that had relieved those in the
military or naval service from per-
forming assessment work.
Under the new Hesitation II will
still be necessary for the claimant to
file each year with the local land Of
flee formal notice OF his desire to
hold the claim under the privilege

val of a letter from his girl
than / do over my bank ac-
count-which is going some.
When he does not hear, he
lfrets-he begins to figure that
something must be wrong at
home. Regular mail deliveries
mean as much to his we'll be-
ing as regular meals and pro-
per food when he's up front. "
This comes from a man who
talks from experience = not
theory-from a man who has
been dodging German shells
and enduring all the hardships
of the front line trenches. He
knows how the men feel, how
they lock, act and talk. In his
story Patullo takes a sharp rap
at the American mail service in
France. The service is not
what it should be. We cannot
help that though the govern
|ment can and doubtless will do
so as fast as it can learn how.
But our home people can
write letters. We can and
should write more than we do.
We should write not only to in
innate friends and relatives
but to others also. Every allied
soldier is a friend, treat him
with the regard that is due him.
Give him a line of cheer, let
him know his service is appre-
ciated and that the country is
solidly back of the army. Let
him know that the great run
of people in this country have
cut out the flubdubbery, that
we are buckling down to busi-
ness and that the men of mill
tary age and then some are all
ready to hit the trail when
needed. 1t will be the truth to
tell him that and it will make
him a better and happier
soldier.

INCOME TAX MAN HERE '.s7'
FOR TWO WEEKS STAY

The income tax man is in town and
will make Langdon his headquarters
during stay of two weeks, for the
purpose of giving information to
parties who need to figure out what
amount of tax they are required to
pay on their income.
The income tax man is Mr.. w. C.
Fiske, who arrived on Monday and
will remain until the close of the
coming week, February 16, being
located for the convenience of the
public at the courthouse.
He states that his experience so far
is that farmers generally have little
difficulty in making out their returns,
as all they have to do is to remember
what they sold during 1917, the year
for which the present returns nave to
be made. Mr.. Fiske says that real
estate men sometimes buy a piece of
property, and have to trade three or
four times before they get their money
out of it, and consequently are at
something of a loss to know with any
degree of accuracy what their income
was for the year that is just closed

Home Talent Basket Ball Games

Last Friday the local high school
"gym" was the scene of series of
inter.class basket ball games. The
first game was between the 5th and
9th grades. This game was won by
the 9th grade. The next game be-
tween the 7th and 9Th grades was a
tie and 2. The girls game, which
followed, was victory for the Fresh
men who defeated the Sophomore girls
with score of 10 to 6. These games
shows that Langdon has lot of good
material for future athletics. The big
game of the evening was between the
Freshman and the Seniors versus
Sophomores and Juniors. This was a
good game. The teams were evenly
matched and all made good showing
The final score was 81 to II. An
onlooker at this game will surely

of George Brown, a renter on one of
the John B. Mooney farms in the vi

the overhead room on the second floor

known to be afre. Nothing was saved
and it was only with great difficulty
that the bedridden mother, of Mr..
Brown was taken from the house as
the fire gained headway toward the
