feet long and are painted white with
circle star on each end and the
bottom and top. That is the y. s..

powerful in these machines as they
are just for instructive work. They

New M. E. Church Pastor

At the services of last Sunday the
pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal
church of this city, was occupied for
the first time in nearly three months
by its new pastor, Rev. Foley, who
comes to Langdon from Racine, Wis.
and quite favorably impressed large
congregations at both morning and
evening services. Rev. Foley is a
gentlemen who has had quite an ex-
tensive and varied experience in
church work all through the west, and
brings to the Langdon church quite a
fund of knowledge ssof work in his
chosen career here in the west that
should prove of great value among
Langdon people.

Soldiers Tribute
to the Red Cross
A Draft Man at Camp Dodge
Write in Thanks of Gift
From Langdon

Merle A. Hall, who is with Co. A.,
1st Bat, of the 313th Engineers. at
Camp Dodge, writes Mrs. William
Herricks, of this city letter which
she received since the holidays, &C.
knowledging Red Cross gift received
at Christmas. which in addition to be-
ing high compliment to the Ameri-
can Red Cross pays a most deserved
tribute to one of the most active
workers that the Langdon branch the
society has. The letter follows:
81 thought I would write and thank
you for the pair of socks that you
knit. 1 certainly know that they are
warm as I have them on now while
I am writing this letter. They were
given to US few days ago. If you
should happen to know a Mrs. j.
Stewart, would you please extend my
thanks to her too. She did not pu
her address on the slip of paper con :
! tanning her name. We certainly are
getting lots of snow down here, but
we manage to keep warm and comfort
able. Lots of the fellows are going
home for their holiday furlough, but
l will have to stay here, in fact the
biggest part of us will put in the
Xmas here in camp. The general
opinion is that we shall soon get
transferred across, and those who like
myself are not used to this climate
will be glad to go. Let me in closing
again thank you ladies for the knit
ting and urge that you keep up the
good work.
