Hague, North Dakota:
Population today...78. Population at its peak...about 450, when it boasted four grain elevators along railroad sidings, two cream stations, three grocery stores, a lumber yard and Schall motors where they sold and repaired cars and provided gasoline.
Also there was a hardware store where they sold International Harvester farm machinery and a Case farm machinery dealer and repair shop. A cafe, three bars, dance hall, bowling alley, post office, two bulk gas dealers that hauled gas and oil to the surrounding farms, all rounding out a good economic community.
The Hague school had nuns teaching and you had better obey them!
The St. Mary Catholic church always had two priests and two masses every Sunday. Mass was in Latin and the sermons were in both English and German.
Today Hague has one grocery store, one bar, a cafe, a post office, one grain elevator, and a repair shop. The KC hall gets used for dances and weddings etc. and St. Mary church is still there, but no more resident priest.

North Dakota Red Eye: (Submitted by Millie Wald)
Take one cup sugar, place in heavy skillet and put on burner and let it burn
slightly. Then add about a cup of water and stir to liquefy the burnt sugar.
Pour this in a glass gallon jug and add one fifth of 190 proof. Then fill jug with
water. A few drops of liquid anise may be added.
