The man who builds your house no longer luts to cut the
timber or hew and saw it into lumber. JVeither does the doctor
of today go about the fields gathering the herbs, from which to
extract the medicines h,e prescribes for the treatment, of
your diseases. It is also just as unnecessary for the optician of
today to thinh of personally having to grind down the lenses
used in spectacles or eye glasses used- in correcting anomalous
of refraction. Opticians advertising that they do so are fakirs.
As an optician we build our glasses. That is we buy tJte intri
cate parts that go into the making up of spectacles or eye glasses
in large quantities. From these different parts we build the
glasses required according to the erfractional errors we find
the patient to be suffering frommaking athoroughly scientifie
test of his eyesight. The instruments used are all of the latest
make. TJte grinding of lenses is done by the manuf aoturing
optician, whose business it is. Our business is the testing of the
eyes and the fitting of glasses—and you will find us at our
place of business sLv days in the week.

Langdon is one of the North Dakota
points where harvest help promises to
be scarce this fall. This week several
farmers have beeu vainly endeavoring to
hire men to work in the hay fiel. What
laborers have already arrived up here
seem to prefer working in town to going
out on farms.
A summary of.th& weather during the
month of July shows that rain ^li on 8
days, the total precipitation for the

The rank growth of weeds alongside
the walks, especially in the residence
portion ot the city, is a nuisance.

pride in their premises to look after this
Without further fiint. AH hour's work

greatly to the general appearance of the
town.
Cavalier county will need several
hundred harvest hands to care for the
big crop now beginning to ripen

towns along the line could give employ
ment to from 100 to 250 men each.
There are (-is towns along the railroad
in Cavalier county and all report the

help in the harvest field is most felt in
Milton, where early crops are ripening
rapidly oa the mountain side here and
•t western points the rush is also be
ginning to be fe't. There is more grain
ttnd less help to care for it this year
fhai^ever experienced in the past.

The new card is the same size ns the old

unusual features. The lettering, the

the top, In order to leave the spacejfor
cancellations. In the upper left hand
corner, which heretofore was blank, is
an eagle. The stamp is a bust of Mc
Kinley. underneath which are dates of
his birth and death, in place of the head
only of an American statesman. The
card itself is smoother and better
material than any previous issue.
It is a source of satisfaction to learn
that a farmer from the western part of
Cavalier county, was awarded the best
and most coverted prizes in the live
stock exhibit at the Walsh county agri
cultural fair held at Park River three
days last week. Jas. Austin, of Hannah,
had on exhibition at the fair horses,
cattle, pigs and poultry aud the excel
lency of his stock is attested by the fact
that the judges awarded him fourteen
first aud ten second prizes. Mr. Austin
took down from his stock farm at Han
nah exhibits of thoroughbred cattle,
hogs and poultry that filled a car, and
gave western Cavalier county a reputa
tion at the fair that will do much to at
tract the attention of Valley farmers to
this section in the future. There are
doxens of farmers throughout the coun
ty we could name who are as prominent
ly identified with the stock raising
branch of farming as Mr. Austin and the
holding in this couut.v of an agricultural
and live stock fair each year would do
much to interest the man}'other farmers
who would go more into stock raising jf
they had the opportunity to see the fine
results attained by those who diversify
their crops and make money the year
round by raising well bred cattle. It
shouldn't be necessary forCavalier coun
ty stock breeders to go off to some other
part of the state to exhibit. There is a
splendid opportunity to illustrate in this
instance the imperative necessity that
exists for Cavalier county people having
an annual agricultual and live stock fair
of its own. The position is one on
which the farmer and the business man
should unite. All the surrouuding coun
ties and our neighbors across the line
have for several years held highly suc
cessful fairs. We have exhibits that take
the prizes away from home and an op
portunity should be given them right
here. Let's get iuto the game quick.
