Summer Months Will Bring
Throng of Visitors to the
City Beautiful

The calendar of "Coaaing Events
FOR Langdon, twill contain dates in
both April and May. Both months
bring to cur city delegated gather
ings from over the northern part of
the state. In April will be held the
biennial gathering of the Pembina
presbytery, composing a delegated
representation of the churches of that
denomination from the town in the
adjoining counties of Pembina, W alsh
and Grand Forks, as well as Cava-
lier. This will be follawed in May
by the coming to Langdon for their
annual convention of the state fede-
rated won1an's clubs for the northern
district, when upwards of hundred
ladies from towns covering the north
eastern part Of the state will be
guests in our homes during a stay
extending over part Of the week.
Of course in neither case will the
number of visitors reach anywhere
near the figures of those here only
the other day to attend the farmers
convention and mid winter fair, or the
monster crowd that is expected to
gather here at any time within a
! week or SO, "when the boys come
, home.'' The point, however, is that
. bringing gatherings of people from
other parts of the state to langdon,
. TO matter whether large or small, is
one of the very best assets we have
. in advertising our town and its many
: natural and acquired advantages to
. the outsider. The advantage of
bringing all possible gatherings of
. these and similar kind are appre.
y ciated by live community builders
Il and when secured the impression
i. created should be the very best that
We can give. Let the visi tor within
our gates see that we have the goods
when it comes to fine homes, educa-
h tional facilities church and social
advantages as we'll as every modern
public improvement to be found in a
town of twice the size of Langdon.

CAPT. HENKEs SEEKS FREEDOM

Captain David A. Henkes, now serv-

Leavenworth, Kan, has filed habeas
corpus suit in federal court to obtain
his freedom. The case is of interest
here because of the fact that Henkes
some years ago married Miss Mile

Frank LANCER of the town Of Ell Paso.
Henkes has been in the regular army
for sixteen years and served in the

Baldwin, Hammond and Woodville In
Dispute With Burkhardt Milling Co.
Over Payment of Bill.

The street lights at Baldwin and
Hammond were turned on again Mon
day evening about 8:45 q. M, after
being out since the evening of Oct. 15,
when the Burkhardt Milling & Elec-
tric Power Co. discontinued street
lighting services in the villages, in an
effort to force payment of bills for re-
placement of lamps.
The lights were turned on in re-
Spouse to telephone call from the
Railroad Commission at Madison. The
Commission had previously sent word
to the Burkhardt company that in
their opinion the company was not
justified in disseminating service, and
ordered the lights turned on forthwith.
The company evidently did not re-
ceive this letter or disregarded it, and
the matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the Commission again by Pres.
Swenumson of this village, who ap-
peared before the Commission Mon
day in behalf of the villages of Ham
mond, Woodville and Baldwin.
The village of Woodville stands with
Hammond and Baldwin in. the matter
of paying for lamp requirements, but
paid their bill under protest.
The Commission will set date for
a hearing on the charges, which will
probably be held in this village some
time the fore part Of next month

TAKING EASE OUT OF DISEASE

Sherwood, a residential suburb of
Milwaukee, challenges attention as
community of extraordinary intelli-
gence. By applying that community
intelligence to the problem Of contag-
ious disease among children, it has
succeeded as we'll or better than any
city of which / have heard, in secur-
ing almost absolute control Of child
ren's diseases.
From September 1, 1917, to August
l, 1918, there were 219 children re
ported to the health department. as
victims Of one Of the following dis
eases: German measles, chicken-pox,
measles, whooping cough, scarlet fe-
yer, humps, diptheria, or infanLlle
paralysis. For corresponding per-
iod in 1913 and 1919 there We're but
% victims of these diseases.
What Sherwood has done, you can
do in your community by applying the
Shorewood method, which is as simple
as first-grade problem in arithmetic.
It consists merely in treating every
child who shows the slightest synp-
tom of illness as though he were act
ually known to be the victim of
highly contagious disease. He is TAX
en- out of school Immediately and kept
isolated from other children until he
has been proved to be safe.
The school authorities of Shorewood
agreed and the parents agreed to the
novel cooperative plan because peo-
pie who understood explained care
fully to others-until all understood
that the best interests of each child
and each family lay in playing the
game to the limit.
A more detailed report of the plan
will be sent to anybody who wishes to
make his children as safe as those of
Sherwood now are.

The Callfornlans had youth and speed

match of the fourth round Nat Niles
beat A. n. Reggie. 6-l. 6-l, %. Two
hard thunderstorms Interrupted play.
Biddle's mastery at the net position,
and young Garland's splendid forcing
shots from deep court, by means of
which he paved the way for his veteran
partner to finish off the points with
sharp volleys or severe smashing. were
the features of the other semi-fnal
round match in the doubles. The
Wright brothers were not quick enough
a covering court and their shots
lacked finishing power.
Williams scored an easy victory IN
the Longwood singles, completely out
playing the veteran Seaver, who has
held the state title several times. The
former national champion is gaining
every day in efficiency, and the shots
that failed to come off successfully
during the early matches were going
much more smoothly this afternoon,
so that Seaver was continually finding
himself out of position as Williams
slipped the ball through the most mi
mute openings and tricked his opponent
by battling change Of pace.

moro difficult task on his hands in de-
feating Josiah Wheelwright, of Boston,

fore Harte won by score of 3-6,
6-4. 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Wheelwright
offset much Of Harte's brilliance at

from back court, and il was only when
Harte trailed at one set TO two that
he buckled down TO his work and
forced the issue

the japanese contenders, was elimi-
mated by the oldtime star F. J. Sui

at 6-4, 6-3, 6-1. Both men elected
to make their fight from the nase line,
and Sulloway was steadier and put
more speed in his strokes.
