CAPTAIN JUDD \, KIRKHAM
RETURNS TO PRACTICE
Since his return to Langdon on Sat

Since his return to Langdon on Sat-
urday of last week Captain Judd H.
Kirkham, M. D., has resumed his
medical practice in this city and
opened up suite of Offices on the
second flour of the ALERT and Winter
block. DR.. Kirkham has been away
over two years leaving on August LIST
1917 and landed July 10Th of this
year after seeing service during the
greater part Of the time overseas.
That he is being accorded the right
sort of a welcome home is shown by
the number of professional calls for
his services since returning, the first
being an out of town call that came
Saturday evening, The Doctors SER
vices among the wounded was confin-
ed largely to the Marne sector of the
fighting, being attached to Mobile
Hospital No. IL. While overseas he
saw Ben Lothspeich in April at Neu
Chateau, when the latter was entrain
ing for the trip home. 1t was while
serving in base hospital in London
that DR.. Kirkham attended young
jacob, an Osnabrock boy brought
over from France suffering from ma
chine gun wounds. The doctor found
the surgical work one of great pro-
fessional interest and great value.
That he is glad to resume his practice
and return to his family here goes
without saying. That his return is an
event of general congratulation here
is also well known. His service over
seas is something that will always
be recalled with pride.

Hum of ThreSher
Heard Everywhere.
Damage to Crop by Drouth
Will Average Less Than
Twenty Per Cent

Robert Flack while in town Friday
stated that he had so far done two
days threshing over Iona way. He
had threshed fall rye on the Flack
farm, also for Tom Padden. 1t was
some of the lightest stand of grain in
the Iona district and owing to drouth
conditions yielded bushels an acre.
Wheat in the same dry area is only
expected to show a ten bushel yield.
The threshing season for 1919 with
the Flack outfit started on August
11th and is the first heard of in this
part of the county. Last fall it was
nearly month later, September 9th.
when they got started on their rnn for
the season. Favorable weather this
fall should see most of the crop all
threshed by September 9Th.
Two days threshing was done last
week in the Harvey Center set
tlement by the outfit owned by Rob't
Murie, rye being threshed ON the
Murie and Bert Welsh farms that
showed yields averaging from sixteen
to twenty bushels per acre.
Wheat was threshed on Monday
afternoon on the John H. Kartes
farm in the Mt Carmel settlement
that when the job has been finished
up may be expected to show an aver.
age yield of anywhere from twenty
to twenty-five bushels to the acre. 1t
was of the Marquis variety and when
examined by experts was found to be a.
fine sample, By the way this is
the thirtieth crop raised on the land,
since it was first homesteaded by the
father of the present owner, the late
Henry Kartes. who filed on the claim
back in the eighties.
Ere mont townships crop is now far
enough ahead in being threshed to
indicate that the yield has suffered
to the extent of fifteen per cent over
the outlook on July first owing to
subsequent lack of rainfall.
