A Short Sketch of the Diff culties the Great Explorer Had In Carrying Out His Theory and Discovering America.

~ HE great Genoese's troubles be- A gan when he was little boy by G his trying to obtain an education. ~ His father was wool comber who made the merest living for his fam fly and little Christopher had to assist his father in making a living. The boy was born in 1446 in a little hnuse on Ponticello street in the city known at that time as Genoa the Superb" ." This house is still standing and great ly revered by both Italians and Amer jeans.
 When Christopher was old enough, he was sent to school where he spent much of his time studying maps and charts and soon understood how to steer so as to keep ships from going on the rocks. He always loved the water and told his playmates that sometime he would do great things in exploring unknown lands. He played about the wharves and talked with the sailors. for Genoa was a great port even at that time and ships came from all parts of the known worlds.
 Columbus was always an adventur- ous boy and the idea of leading the tame life of a wood carver was most repulsive to him and he Ionged to go to sea. The captain of one of the vessels took a fancy to the boy and when the lad was about fourteen years old, took him to sea as his cabin boy. During this voyage he surprised the captain by his knowledge of maps and charts. He talked with the crew and listened to the yarns of adventure spun out by the sailors and dream ed of the day when he might have such experiences and perhaps sail to a place called Cathay, which is now China. It was said to be a land where kings lived in golden palaces and the streets were paved with jewels.

STRAIGHTFORWARD TESTIMONY
Many Langdon Citizens Have
Profited By It.

If you have backache, urinary
troubles, days of dizziness, headaches
for nervousness, strike at the seat of
the trouble. These are often the
symptoms of weak kidneys and there
is grave danger in delay. Doan's
Kidney Pills are especially prepared
or kidney ailments-are endorsed by
over so. 900 people. Your neighbors
recommend this remedy-have proved
it's merit in many tests. Langdon
readers should take fresh courage in
the Straightforward testimony of a
Langdon citizen.
w. B. Gordon, retired farmer,
Fifth St., w., says: 81 suffered for
q number of years with pains in the
small of my back, directly over my
kidneys. My kidneys acted too fire..
quently. l got Doan's Kidney Pills
and used them and they were what l
needed. They soon rid me- of the
trouble entirely" Statement given
August 81, 1907.
No Trouble Since-On November
%, 1917, Mr.. Gordon said: 81
haven't had any need of a kidney
remedy for a long time. 1 give Doan's
credit for my good health"
Price 60 cents at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
the same kind that Mr.. Gordon had.

1t would appear that the press fra.

From present and future quota

would appear that the demand for

more than enough to hold the price
in advance of So. 26 per bushel, which

guaranteed the producers. Where are

where the country faced financial

Monday September 18th is the date
on which the Langdon city school re.
opens for the fall and winter term.
Announcement of a definite date was
made yesterday by Superintendent
Bonar, who stated the date of open

and cities over the state would be
simultaneous and therefore allow of
all schools adopting a systematic ad.
vancement in their work.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1919-08-21

The government official report is
out and gives Cavalier county seventy
per cent of a normal wheat crop.
This sounds a little high and would
indicate that the drouth condition had
not advanced to it's fullest pre-harvst
proportions when the estimate was
made.

There is now a discount of six per
