MT. CARMEL YOUNG COUPLE
HAVE A CHURCH WEDDING

On Tuesday of last week, the
5th inst, in the forenoon at ten
o'clock in the Roman Catholic church
at Mt. Carmel, occurred the we'd
ding of Miss Seraphina Dorothea
He'll, daughter of Mrs. John He'll, of
Mt. Carmel, to Mr.. William Albert
Appledorn, of Zenith, North Dakota,
The bride was gowned in an all white
silk and satin dress, trimmed wi tn
lace and georgette crepe and wore
wreath and veil, carrying a bouquet of
white roses. A sister of the bride,
Miss Isabella He'll. was the brides
maid, in costume of white crepe de
chine trimmed with white messaline
silk, carving bouquet of lillies of
the valley. The groom in conven-
tional suit of black, with bouquet
of lilies of the valleyswas accompan-
led to the altar by Mr.. Fred He'll as
his best man. Following the cere.>
mony performed by Rev. Father Ber-
n ard, reception was held at the
brides home prior to the leaving of
the couple for their home at Zenith.
accompanied by the we'll wishes of a
large assemblage OF gathered sri ends
from over the neighborhood.

out at the sessions. Some time is
also to be devoted to general discus.
sion of the subject that there may be
an exchange of ideas along this line.
1t is especially requested that every
woman in the county do her share to
contribute to the success of this phase
of the meeting by sending recipes or
by bringing in samples of jars or
glasses Of their most appetizing con-
coctions of native fruits.
A supper will be served between
the afternoon and evening sessions,
for women only, in the basement
parlors of the Presbyterian church by
committee of Langdon ladies'. The
supper will be entirely solicited, but
a charge will be made, the total re-
ceipts of which will be turned over to
the Armenian relief of the Red Cross.

Food Conservation
WOnlanS Meeting
War Time Feature Womans
Programs at Mid-Winter
Farmers Meeting

The sessions for women at the
Farmers Convention will be held in
the Presbyterian church on Thursday
afternoon and evening, February 28th.
The numbers on the program will
have to do almost entirely with
matters of food conservation. The
Importance of such matters no one
can gainsay, and the fact of the
matter is that in the majority of
homes in North Dakota, actual food
conservation in the way of substitu-
tions and limitations on certain food
products most needed by the govern
ment, has not been practiced as faith
fully as could be desired.
Before coming to Langdon Miss
Newton will have spent week tour
ing the state with the committee re-
Gently sent to Europe to ascertain food
conditions first hand and she will
embody the experiences of these
people in her talks before the ladies
of the convention, Mrs. Docksteader,
the chairman of the woman's commit.
tee, is arranging to have various
women make the several kinds of war
breads, such as barley, rice and potato
breads and they will be passed around
to be sampled at one of the sessions.
Recipes will also be given out for the
making of these breads. The feat that
these substitute fours are slightly
higher in price than the best patent
flour does not alter the caseas the
government sees it. The point being
to save the wheat flour.
The matter of economizing our ma
tive fruits. such as June berries, pin
cherries, choke cherries, wild plums,
etc., this coming year is also to have
a place on the program. 1t is thought
that the pioneer women of the county
can contribute the most material in
connection with this subject. as they
have been using these local wild fruits
in various combinations, in jellies,
jams and preserves for many years.
Mrs. Docksteader and her committee
are endeavoring to get in touch with
women who have had especial success
along this line. They are organizing
to have such ladies bring ina jar of
their preserves or jelly for demonstra.
tion, to be sampled by those in atten-
dance. The most successful recipes
are to be mimeographed and handed d

Ben Erickson. who since leaving
Langdon and removing to San An.
tonio, Texas, some few years since
has retired from the practice of law,
writes the Democrat quite an inter-
esting letter when remembering us
with a remittance on his subscrip-
tion. In part he says:
"Well. we are now realizing that
war exists, and here see an abundance
of soldiers on our sterets continually

town with its record of over four
hundred saloons and dozen Or more

elected all of the city and county
officials. But they want the camps
and the soldiers here for the sake of
the business it brings them and for
this purpose give their promise to the
federal government to clean up the
city from vice of all kinds, so that
it could be made safe for the bringing
of soldiers here. Bnt they are slow
in the carrying out of their promise
to clean up. There is not much of
a reform spirit only to the extent
that it is being forced upon them by
the government, which itself seems
to be realizing the responsibility

Big Mass Patriotic Meeting

1t is quite likely that the news con-
tained in the daily papers of last
Thursday, of the sinking of the U.
S. transport, Tuscania, and its conse.
quent loss of life of American troops,
tended to stimulate additional inter-
est in the mass patriotic meeting that
was held in the Auditorium on Sunday
evening. The seating of the build
ing was filled to capacity, many dur
ing the two hours that the meeting
continued being content with stand
ing room in the rear. What had hap
pened so recently would appear to
have aroused many to what war anc
