American Legion
Social Activities
Plans Underway for Social
Events as Starting.Off
Year of 1920

Langdon's post of the American
Legion at meeting held IN Monday
evening outlined plans for series of
events that should do much to shorten
the long winter season and add to
enjoyment. The Legion already has
a basket ball series started with a
local all-soldier team that is out to
win against other legion basketeers
over the northern part of the state.
There is also to be a series of dances
given under the auspices of the Am
erican Legion and later, before the
advent Of spring, the boys expect to
bloom forth with home talent pro-
duction in stageland. In addition to
IA drama :. Dust of the EARTH now
under rehearsal minstrel show is
being considered. There is splendid
material for strong cast as many of
those who will take part have ap.
peared in theatrical performances
while in camp over seas in France.
The activities upon which the local
post is entering aim at giving the
Langdon soldier boys of the American
Legion a permanent home for head
quarters for their gatherings The
Post is here to stay. From now on
it will take it's place in every effort
for the upbuilding and betterment of
Langdon and vicinity and seeing that
as community the sentiment of pa
triotism and 100 per cent American
citizenship is the measurement of
standardization of each and all. The
boys will be back of everything that
is for good healthy loyal boost Of
our town and with the projects which
our people now have underway fol
1920 there should be plenty of room
for them to get busy. The spirit
they show should be given every pos
slble encouragement.

TRAIN SERVICE BLOCKADE
LASTS ONLY ONE WEEK

Patrons Of the Langdon branch of
the Great Northern, alike with the
people of the United States gene
rally, are awaiting with ill conceal
ed impatience the recinding of the
order by which the railroad traffic of
the nation was at practically a days
notice reduced one-half, owing to the
coal shortage. The operators and
workers of the mines have come to
terms and the strike is off. In order
that the country as a whole should
not suffer longer than possible the
great Inconvenience this has meant
there should be immediate resump-
tion of traffic under a normal train
schedule. There has been a com.
plete tie up in the movement of pro.
ducts, both foods and fuel, the mails
have been abnormally congested at a
holiday season and passenger travel
is in tangle and turmoil that makes
the home coming for Christmas a
journey of uncertain dur alton, and
lacking the pleasure of this joyous
season. The train that arrived Mon.
day night, several hours over due,
brought three days mail-something
over two dray loads for Langdon.
There were two baggage cara loaded
with express and double tn accommo
3ation for paneonror troyo1 bol L.or
overcrowded from the tims it left
Grand Forks until arriving at Lang
don. Four hundred sacks of U. S.
mail were sent ncrth when the train
started. half of this having to fine
space in one of the baggage cars.
If such condition exists ten days
before Christmas what will be the
experience as the season grows nearer
