The Logan Literary & Debating
Society met on Friday evening and a
program varied and interesting was
enjoyed by many. Mrs. Oliver Saug-
stad in voice superb gave much ap-
preciated rendering Of a favorite song.
Russell Gard was heard to advantage
is we'll chosen selection and Miss
Mabel Ross, whose readiness to con-
tribute to the evenings amusement
might by many of the younger gener-
alton be emulated, sang sweetly. Miss
Mildred Cook gave an interesting
reading and Sherman Thompson
touched the patriotic chord by stirring
recitation. Ralph Gard and Vern
Packard, cornet and trombone artists,
INDUCED but in prelude and will be
heard at greater length on Saturday.
A debate upon the question that steam
is more useful than electricity, proved
both interesting and instructive. Vern
Packard, Miss Henderson and Will
Hecker represented the affirmative,
while Mr.. Bridges, Miss Mary Hecker
and Sherman Thompson dealt with
the wonders of electricity. The Socie-
ty will meet on Saturday evenings at
D.. m. at the school.
Miss Hazel Witted was Logan Wis
itor on Sunday.
Fred Taylor of S. Prairie was
among the distinguished visitors we
noted on Main street last week end.
Mrs. Fremont Cook left for Forest
City, Iowa, on Friday, where she will
enjoy a we'll earned vacation among
relatives and friends.
A dance at Norwich hall OH Friday
evening attracted many of our young
folks, included among the number be-
ing the clever editress Of the Logan
Searchlight, consequently the literary
audience were in darkness concerning
many happenings. Vic Teets is of
course to blame for this but there were
others absent also. Will Brand and
Harvey Forbes arrived at Norwich in
time to take part, enjoying enroute
excitement galore. Beebe's giraffe
was captured and hitched to buggy
which ratified not. Will and Harry
are members of the local C. E. and un-
derstanding naught of the language
by which Bert coaxes progress from
this quadruped, with difficulty got
started But Oh, we Gods, had the
fair maids of Norwich but witnessed
the aspiring and perspiring Romeos
as they unhitched the unwilling steed,
and hauled mule-like the vehicle up
each hill, fam would they have re-
warded then with even more marked
attention But faint heart never won
fair lady and as the first streaks of
chilly dawn cleaned DER the horizon
Will and Harry turned their gaze
homeward and marvelled how and
when they might persuade Pegasus
to return.
Herb Packard of N. Prairie is in
clined to subscribe to the doctrine that
it is not good for man to live alone
Herb will Of course deny the soft i'm
parchment that like Adam of old he
feels the lack of an helpmeet, "but
coming events cast their shadows be-
fore"
Jack McKinnon of Sawyer has re-
turned from the east whittier he had
gone in search of medicine man who
could afford his pedal extremities re-
lief. He is more than pleased with the
result.
: Carl Swenson of S. Prairie was a
business visitor on Tuesday.
Art Gilman contemplates locating
in Mckenzie county shortly. But he
will be with us again.
Will Gilman and Nick Ponteous are
both kept busy tending the tonsorial
needs of Sawyer.
Beebe, when the moon is on the
wane, becomes Industrious. He has
recently constructed a boat with
which he will explore the wonders OF
the meandering Mouse. And half Lo.
gan will follow his example. A list
from a fur house excites romance
even as seed catalog gives visions o.
wealth.
Ralph and Russ Gard of the Farm
ers' Store were Minot visitors o,
Tuesday.
r. NJ. Dickie of Minot was tn
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Gard las
week end.

The rapid growth Of Logan as

tages with which our town is endowe
