sands Of White People.

For the first time in many years the
Redpath-Vawtcr Chautauqua system is
featuring colored talent. Prof. Lau-
liams Jubilee Singers appear on the
fourth day of the Chautauqua operated
by that system. The singers give half
hour prelude in the afternoon, and Prof.
Jones speaks at three. In the evening
the singers give full program.
The biggest day Of the Chautauqua is
the afternoon Prof. Jones speaks, the
biggest night Of the seven, the night
the Williams singers appear. Hundreds
of white people rush up after the lee
ture to shake hands with Prof. Jones
and to tell him that they are SO glad to
hear the other side of the Negro ques-
ton, after hearing 80 many Southern

Born in Langdon
Died in France
News Came Monday Placing
First Golden Star Upon
Our Service Flag.

A telegram from Minneapolis,
which was received while here in
Langdon by Banker c. B. Mcmillan
early Monday forenoon, brought the
sad news that the third oldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Laidlaw had
met death in France. 1t was briefly
stated that the cause was a prema-
ture explosion of powder. The acci-
dent appearing to have occurred on
June 23rd, death from the injuries
received having evidently followed a.
few days later in one of the base
hospitals. The deceased, William
Mckinley Laidlaw, was Langdon
boy being born here on "Dewey
Day." the 1st of May, 1898. He
had been in France about six months,
going across with the First Minnesota
Artillery, which upon its reaching
France was made unit of the fa-
mons Rainbow Division, His two
older brothers, Walter and Charles,
are both over there, but in different
branches of the service and had not
seen the deceased since going over
seas. The Laidlaws have many old
friends here in their home town who
join them in mourning the loss of one
of our boys who died with high honor
for his country in foreign service and
whose body lies in soldiers grave.

unaware of its approach until it was
on top of him. His injuries include
bad leg and arm fractures, he being
dragged under the car before it could

take critical turn He was taken

A Harvest Hands
Wage Schedule
Farmers Organizing to Meet
Problem of Help to Move
Fall Grain Crop

In nearly every county of the state
a meeting of farmers and threshers
has been held to determine upon a
just scale of wages to be followed
during the coming rush season. There
is no question but that labor is scarce
and the prospect is now for reason
ably heavy crop to handle, which
condition makes it doubly important
that the farmers meet to consider the
best ways and means of meeting a
situation Which has every appearance
of being very serious. The govern,
ment has provided free labor agen'
cies in the centers of distribution
such as the Twin Cities, Grand Forks
and Fargo, which will direct such
help as is available to the points
where it is most needed. These agen-
cies, together with private employ
ment officers can probably be relied
upon to receive orders and send on
such labor as ia seeking employment.
On the other hand. hawever, it is
up to the farmers to agree upon what
is commonly termed "going wages. F."
that in the rush of harvest they do
not bid up the wages of farm help to
an ezhorbitant level. There ia great
danger that at the beginning Of har'
vest with the help coming up from
the south slowly, there will be
an unwarranted alarm and perfect
stampede to get help at any figure.
This must be avoided il possible thi:
year az it is mt difficult to agree
upon q reasonable wage, which ever
if not followed to the letter will serve
as basis OR agreement and there i:
the benef Of keeping down the cost
of production, which is already fa,
too high.
The officers Of the County Thresher:
Association are sending out notices OF
a meeting of the farmers of this
county and those owning and operat
ing threshing rigs to meet next Mon
day. July 22nd, at 200 O'Clock p
M, at the court house. at Langdon
AS this is the date Of departure fo,
large number of draft boys it il
hoped and expected that tkere Will b'
large and representative gathering
of Cavalier county farmers and ever!
hody is invited and urged to attend
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1918-07-18

In Langdon and elsewhere over
the county during the past couple
of weeks reports have been received
fgan points extend p g through most
Of the wheat growing sections OF AL
berta, Saskatchewan and parts OF
Manitoba, indicating that crop pros
pect.are diminishing daily. Lack OF
rain and dry hot winds prevailed dur
ing much of the growing season.
while since the middle of June losses
from hail have been severe in many
sections. Different parties having
travered from $50 to 500 miles by
auto through the western Canadian
provinces to Langdon and vicinity
have brought reports of what great
disappointment confronts Canadian
farmers in the 1918 crop outlook,
especially when compared with those
of recent years.
