GROUND BROKEN YESTERDAY
FOR A PAROCH|AL SCHOOL

The ground was broken yesterda-
on lots north of the Court House for
the foundation and banement of the
Catholic parochial school of St. AL
phonsus parish. The excavation be-
gun yesterday at noon was for the main
hall of the school, the size of which
will be 52x73 with plans adapted
for the erection of a twin building
building later. Drawings that have
been submitted by the architects also
provide for dormitories, and house
for the faculty and other buildings.
It is proposed to excavate to depth
of only about four feet and to have
the basement rise four feet above the
ground level bofore the laying of the
the first floor. 1t is hardly expected
that work on the school building
proper will progress any further this
fall than the laying of the foundation
after the completing of the excava-
tlon for the basement, but the super
structure will be raised, completed
and in readiness fer occupancy by the
fall of the year. The group of build
ings as shown in the plans when com
pleted according to specification will
represent total outlay of not les,
than $3.50, 600 and as one of Lang
dons preset day public improvement
will out reach anything previously at
tempted in the growth and develop
ment of Langdon.

COLLEGE GIVEN A BRONZE
TABLET FOR LANGOON BOY

1t is noteworthy in the write up
of the commencement week exercises
of the Jamestown college, an event
during the past month the Class Of
1919 honored the memory of one of
their most beloved classmates, John
L. Robertson, Of Langdon, who died
of wounds received on the battle field
in France year ago at about this
time. The class upon the occasion of
it's graduation presented the faculty
Of the college with beautiful me-
mortal tablet of bronze. Robbie, -
as he was popularity called by his col.
lege class mates at Jamestown. was
held in high regard and beloyed as
a fellow student and by the faculty
alike. The student body as a whole
sorrowed and mourned during the
long and dreary months of the past
year, during the anxious and nerve
racking period when it was impos-
sible to find out what had become of
their friend and classmate, The me-
mortal tablet is to be given place in
the chapel of the college to commence
rate the supreme sacrifice made by one
of North Dakota's most gallant sol.
diers. The family and friends here
in Langdon are able to appreciate to
the full the honor which his class
did on its graduation day to rev.
er the memory of one of the boys of
Langdon whose golden star will
always shine forth brightly in the
memory of US all.

The eleventh annual Cavalier couro-.

at this time this will be the largest.
fair ever held. In every department

seems to be no reason why there.
should not be material increase.
for this year.
The amusements and free attrac.-
tions which was purchased last
winter presented at the Cando Fair
lastweek as that was the first fair in
the circuit. Officers of three fairs
in the Circuit were at Cando to sec
how these attractions pleased and all
are certain that the free attractions
program is by far the best that We
have ever had. One of the acts was
feature act at the Minnesota
state fair last year. Two others
were at the state fair two years ago.
In addition to the three acts mentioned
there are plenty of good specialties
and other features to keep the crowd
interested at all times.
AS all the fairs in the circuit put
on good race program this year
there will be plenty of racing. At
Cando there were nine entries in the
2:4O class. Seven in the 2 80 class
and all others filled. The race
program is good one and az the
track at Langdon is in first class
shape all can depend on seeing some
good racing at the fair this year.
The cattle and horse show for this
year promises to be unusually good
as quite little new stock has been
purchased and brought to the county
during the past year and the breeders
have bought stock that they expect
to show at the fair.
The stock show is the big thing
at a county fair and every person
interested in the fair hopes to make
1919 stock show the very best pos.
silbe.
Don't forget the datest, July 20,
80 an 81 and plan to attend this
fair
