ROY WELLS WILL Be FIRST
OVERSEAS BOY TO ARRIVE

Roy Wells expects to reach Langdon
about the end of this week or the
early part of next, probably coming
on Saturdays train. He will be the
first L; n gdon man to return from
service overseas since the close oftbe
war. Incidentally Roy Wells and
Frank Heapy probably were the
first from Langdoa to leave home and
enlisted shortly after this country
entered the war, leaving here on July
10th, couple of months before the
entrainment of this county's first
quota of the draft. After completing
short course at one of the aviation
fields in this country he, was in
few weeks after leaving Langdon
sent overseas to England, where since
becoming skilled as an airman he has
been among the fly ing corps engaged
policing the district around London
against air raids after night fall.
From now on it is to be Langdon's q
great honor to welcome home her
many sons who have seen service in
the war, and in the summer of
next year. it should be possible to
plan rousing welcome hometo all of
our soldier boys of Cavalier county
who have been in both the draft and
enlisted branches of the service.

week has disposed of his Langdon
property, the home on Fifth street
having been purchased by Mr.. Thos.
Ullyott, of Harvey Center, who re-
tires from active farm life and comes
to Langdon to make his home with
the close of the present week. The

John A.. Craw ford, an old LanXdonite
who returns to our town to again be-
come resident and take an active
part in the business life of the town.
The going from our midst of the
AlDstags is a loss that Langdon has
cause generally to regret. In long
years of residence here he has been
active in all progressive steps taken
for community upbuilding and vel
fare, while the family have from the
very first found for themselves a
place in the social and church life
of our iowa. The regret is given a
general expression by all that such a

taking of this family away from our

Erect Monument
Our Soldier Dead
Plan for Lasting Tribute Due
Our War Heroes Who
Fought and Died

| Other parts of the state ere taking
up the patriotic idea of a monument
to be erected in honor of those of the
boys who have made the supreme
sacrifice while fighting in the great
worlds war.
Why should not we as the people of
Cavalier county place in our midst a
monument commemorating the event
which has resulted in the sacrifice of
the soldier and sailor dead of this
county? Why could not such a trib.
ute to their. memory be erected on the
grounds which surround the court
house in this city. Now with the
appro oaching home coming of the boys
who have fought and won, why should
not a movement toward organization
of a movement for this purpose be
started at once. The war is over; the
boys are soon to De home again. To
our brave heroes who have survived
there is a joyous welcome awaiting
them upon their safe return home.
Those who are dead, mourned in a
score or more of Cavalier county
homes, who hravely and willingly
gave their lives in the fight that the
world might be made safe Tor their
fellow man on land and sea.
They won't be here to participate
in the welcome home. Theirs are the
homes where the shnut of welcome
and the noise of martial music will
have discordant tone and agair
make bare the heart wounds of those
who mourn loved one, whose grave
overseas is only marked with small
wooden cross. The task of raising
the funds for monument to the
| memory of cur soldier and sailor deac
| should be one that meets with will
| ing and generous response. How
does the idea appeal to you? Dom
:. you think it worthy of your consider
alton? Right since the start of the
