ada, was the guest Of Maj. Ross and
family several days last week. He
also visited Joe Ross, Mr.. Willard an
Reese Dickie Of North Praire, all be-
ing old Iowa friends.
Friend Bert was long while plan
ming and even longer still. building
his barn roof. Many boards were de-
tachable and the superfca, observer
might imagine he had done rather
poor job. But We understand that
since taking the higher course Of ve:-
Urinary science he has evolved some
original ideas on ventilating systems,
and Is determined that his quadrupeds
shall moi suffer at all events, through
lack OF fresh air. The structure gen
orally would never lead visitors to
suppose that strong winds ever blow
in breezy North Dakota.
A little west OF our town the burn
ing question of the moment Is fcnc-
ing. Fence posts have developed a
nasty habit OF wandering in the dark
hours and a rod or SO viii disappear
twixt sunset and sunrise. Maybe the
moons wagaries have not been stud
led, for we believe all the good Chris
tians hereAhnuts subscribe to the
teaching that it is meet and right to
love thy neishbor as myself.
The truck trust received a severe
blow recently. A we'll known chick
en- farmer, who has lately taken to the
culture OF garden produce, was reap
ing rich reward for his labor. when
he who has hitherto had a monopoly
in this line, became aware of the new
comer's audacity. So he, fastened to
the Magic City with a goodly load of
what the learned would term, "Raph.
auus Sativus," and flooded the market
sadly. But the good. people bought
not all OF his wares and many did
he bring back into the village. But, a
few among their number ate cheap
radishes.
Jesse Giles, who ere these notes ap-
pear, will have afforded our town a
first class restaurant and lunch room.
has acquired the premises adjoining
the livery barn and garage. Jesse is
enterprising and deserves the support
which awaits him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Shaw were the
guests Of Maj Ross and family on
Sunday Last. Maj. has a fine display
OF garden produce and is illustrating
forcibly the fact that Logan and dis
trict has no equal in this line.
By the way the manager of the
Logan baseball team might secure
quite an attractive feature were he
to fix up a game with the Ross nine,
which includes several charming
young ladies among their star players.
Bill Ray, who holds an important
position with the 500 Ry., was init.
lated into the mysterious rites of To-
cal order which is rapidly gaining in
strength. Bill looked as If he had un-
dergone severe ordeal next morn.
No not forget that the Logan nine
are to play Surrey on Saturday after
noon next. This should be the same
of the season.
ALI credit Is due to Manager Teets
for emphasizing what some began ia
think impossible, i. g., victory fol
Logan ball players. Now that the
boys have struck a winning trail moth
ing should be able to switch them.

arranged in their honor on Monday
last and the young folks OF the district

Rev. w. Gunter conducted services
at the Forbes school house during the
week which, Judging from the attend.

the preacher. The services were
bright, brief and should be fruitful OF
much good.
What might have proved a serious
accident occurred on Sunday last at
Egan's corner An automobile was re.
sponsible for causing both consid-
cradle alarm to Mrs. Rob Waldref and
party Of young ladies', and serious
damage to her buggy. Fortunately
none OF the occupants were injured,
