Memorial Day at Clyde

An event held at Clyde on Sunday
forenoon was a memorial service at
the community church of that place
The service was held for Private Will
lis ssGish, one of the young men from
that town who went from this county
with the quota of the military draft
called in May. His body was found
in the bay at San Francisco, after he
had been missing. from Camp Fremont
for nearly week. He had been CIV
en- an over Sunday leave of absence
and is supposed TO have met with foul
play. The Knights Of Pythias lodge
at Clyde had charge of the exercises
and Rev. A. o. Birchenough, made
the address. Young Gish was held in
high respect among the people of the
western part of the county and the
services were largely attended.

LANGD0N BUSINESS MEN TO
FORM SHOCKERS SQUADS

AT meeting held Monday evening
at the Court House R. O. Miller, of
the commercial club and J. w. Haw,
the county agricultural agent, told
the audience of ssLangdon business,
professional and other townsme n there
gathered that the problem of safely
gathering in the grain crop of this
fall, tributary to Langdon was large.
ly up to them. The shocking of the
grain as it is cut is first and foremost
and this will have TO be given atten.
tion within the next few days.
The plan suggested and which is
being heartily entered into by all the
business men of the town is the clos
ing of their stores, Offices and shops
at four O'Clock in the afternoon, and
going out to the harvest fields to
work until sundown.
Squads of fifteen men, six of them.
with captain to each squad are be-
ing formed and will go in autoes to
places where there is the greatest
need of saving the crop and put in
the afternoon and evening hours on
the farm. 1t was signifed at the
meeting that upwards of sey enty
could be drafted from the various
lines of town employment for this
work and the organization of the
squads and outlining of the work cam.
paign are underway.
At the suggestion of County Agent
Haw. not being certain Of the work.
ing "apacity of the men forming the
squads it was thought advisable to fix
the remuneration at certain price
per acre. rather than by the hour or
day and this will be the arrangement
made.
The captains of the squads of
Langdon's shocking troops are

aid. The other business done before
the meeting reached an adjournment
consisted in the naming of a COM
mittee composed of J. B. Boyd, Sim
on Schefter and A. E. Harrington to
personally interview all the places of
business not represented at the meet
ing and explain to them the action
taken and seek their cooperation.
The slogan of Langdon from now
until the harvest is safely gathered is
"Work or Fight, our boys are gone
to fight and its up to US to save the
crop in order to see that they are
properly feed. Its up to you to get
out and do your "bit."

Henry Ford's New Tractor

On Friday nights freight j. F.
Ramage received the first carload Of
Fordson gas tractors that have been
placed on the market in this county.
There we're but nine If these COM
pactly built.pieces of farm machinery
in the carload and as their distribution
over the crop raising area Of the
United States is under government
direction it is likely that. more of
them will not be available for distri.
button in Cavalier county for this
season. They are built for use in
practically all kinds of work on the
farm where horse power is required.
And the way in which the tractors re.
ceived here went into the hands of
purchasers as soon as they reached
town last week shows what confidence
ia felt by the farmer in the invention
of Henry Ford. As the tractor has q
travelling speed of from % to 10
miles per hour it is likely that the
Fordson will be used quite generally
for hauling grain as we'll as p]owing
and other work on the farm.
Among the buyers were Edward
Peterson, of Nekoma P. j. Antony,
of Munich; C. E. Shortridge, of CAL
vim; Wild Bros, of Osnabrock and
John Howitz, of Langdon. Mr.. RAM
age has another one or two in his
salesroom at the garage, but they are
practically sold.

Finley Ramage, who shortly after
his graduation from the high school
early in the summer, enlisted for
army service and was sent to Fargo
for mechnical training for the motor
corps, has written his parents, MIR.
and Mrs. ]. F. Ramage that his. di.
vision arc now moving east to the sea
board to embark on transports for
France. His older brother. Walter,
who has been training for the same
arm of the service is now finishing up
his course and will doubtless be NOV
ed forward with the next detachment.
Oscar Liebeler, another of the high
school class Of 1918, is heard from
in Florida, where the training camp
that he is attached to has both motor
and aeroplane work under instruction.
Oscar is we'll satisfied with every.
thing. excepting perhaps the southern
hot weather at this time of the year.

going out-being finished in the bed
time hour is all that, Langdon friends
need look for-as there is not the
time to answer, all the welcome let
ters that are received from home.
The busy time is evident from the
tone of the letter on nearly every
page. There should be quite lot
more to tell after the war is over and
the boys come home.

Have to Register
On August oath
All Men Who Have Attained
Twenty.One Years Since
June 5th Register

Yesterday at noon the draft board
ef this county received the official
notice in a telegram from the Office
of Adjutant General Fraser. at Bis.
marck in which it stated in substance
that President Wilson was about to
issue q proclamation in which it will
be required that all young men who
have attained the age of twenty-one
years between June 5th, of this year,
the date of the last registration, and
Saturday of next week. August oath,
inclusive, will be required to appear
for registration for military service
under the selective draft act. In this
county all who are required to regis
ter under this new enactment of the
draft law willregister here in Lang
don, between the hours of seven
O'Clock in the forenoon and nine
O'Clock in the evening, at the office
of Auditor Eide at the court house.
II wouldsseem to be evident that the
federal authorities are making an
effort to complete the list of regis
trants Of twenty-one years of age as
nearly as is practical before making
the registration of the men for the
draft in September, in which the age
required has been amended by con-
gress to include all men between
eighteen and forty-five years. At
tention is specially called to this 50
that it will in no wise be confused
with the registration of August 24th
for men who have attained the age of
twenty.one years since June 9Th, up
to and including the Oath of this
month, when they will come here to
Langdon to register. The Septem-
Der registration will be held in the
various voting precincts over the
county of which Auditor Eide will
publish list next week, giving also
the names of those who will be in
charge as registrars in the precincts.
In Langdon city there will only be one
place for registration.

LABOR AGENTS
NAMED FOR THRESH|NG

The following have been appointed
labor agents for the respective towns
in Cavalier county, and have consent
ed to do their best to meet the needs
of the rather trying situation which
onfronts the county today in this re.
spect. The appointment of these men
has not been made with the view of
comforting honor upon them but with
full knowledge that they are to be
called upon to per form a service
which in these. times can be we'll be
classed as war activity .and is from
this view point that these men have
consented to act. Not only may the
farmers apply to these men for help,
but those who come in looking for
work may make application. to these
agents find employment without de.
lay if it is to be had in that vicinity
1t is expected that farmers are aware
of the difficulty of securing help this
fall and that if these labor agents do
not find the help demanded about the
town that their only recourse will be
to apply to labor agencies in the
Twin Cities and Grand Forks. Such
procedure this year will mean no
doubt considerable delay in filling or
ders and some inconvenience in the
way of advancing railroad fare, etc.
Those who are endeavoringA to help
out this fall in procuring harvest la
Dor expect that the above matters
will be taken into consideration and
just because they happen to be acting
in the capacity of labor agents they
do not wish to be expected to create
help on the spot.

FRED PRESTON WAS AC-
CIDENTALLY SHOT TUESDAY

Fred Preston. of Alternately, was
brought to the Lubbock Sanitarium
Tuesday suffering from gun-shot
wound. He had just the day before
received by mail some kind of wolf
gun. a contrivance to set so that
when the wolf touched the bait a
gun would shoot him. He took the
trap out early Tuesday morning to
set il and in some way il was dis
charged accidentally. the ball going
through the abdomen from the
front. He walked a mile to a neigh
boris and had them bring him to
town. II is thought he will likely
make a fair recovery.
