THE BISMARCK. TRIBUNE Boy! Page Hans N, Langseth, of Barney, N. D. He ig wanted out in Sacramento! Wor Hans is the winner of the Na-| tional Beard Contest which has been | staged to locate the longest beard in | the United States, | He's got it—by far. Seventeen perfectly good. fect o whiskers sprout from hig chin.. And, as a result of being ¢rowned Champ, Hans is entitled to free trans- portation to Sacramento, and return, | that ‘he may attend the. “Days of '49” | celebration to be held in the Califor- nia capital, May 23 to 28, ‘And that isn’t.all. When he arrives in Sacramento he’ll | be presented with a gold medal, And for every one of the six: cele-} bration days he will be paid $50—a total of $300—just for displaying his prize-winning crop of whiskers. ‘Langseth’s beard got its start in Norway, for he lived in Kidsvold, when j he decided to “let ‘er’ flow.” | It .is the custom at Eidsvold, as ‘Langseth explains, for men to permit their whiskers to grow during the win- ter months and to shave them off each | spring. (He did this up until he reached, 29 years Of age, Then, emboldened by the astonish- ing luxuriousness of its growth, he de- cided to let the chest protector sprout. “Just wanted to see thow long it| would grow,” says he. | And it has sprouted an average rate | of 41-2 inches a year ever since. The extreme end of the whiskers, | which, years ago, nestled close to the chin, still form a mat of Viking red, their color when the beard first reach- ed the United States in 1876. Gradually the color fades and the | upper section is snow white, Langseth takes an active interest in his. farm near Barney. ‘When he is not using his beard to measure the distance ‘between fence ‘posts (just obout a rod you' know). he. keeps it tucked beneath his vest, And when. it is thus hidden, you'd merely! think he had a short crop of fluffy whiskers. ‘For, in truth, he has a double growth. While the main. champion strands run to the’ full 17) feet, a shorter crop still bushes out in the ordinary beard, manner, Friends enjoy the sight when:Lang- seth washes out his famous growth. ‘He uses a curtain stretcher. And take it from Hans, it's a considerable job to coax a comb through 17 feet of hair. Le oad | “When I was younger,” says Lang- ‘seth, “I used to let> folks pull my beard, in the: tug of war style. Not any more, though. It hurts my neck.” And s0,,a beard that started out, in the days of '47, will be on hand to IT HURTS HIS NECK, IT TOOK FIVE AND: TWO-THIRDS ‘STRETCHES OF A THRDE-FOOT TAPH TO CG WAS THE TIME WHEN HANS LANGSETH USED TO LET FOLKS USE HIS BEARD IN TUGS-OF-WAR PULLS.
