o LOGAN MURMURS. .
With this weeks issue we reach yet
another milestone in the journey of
the years, and glancing backwards
DER the path we have wandered here
and there, incidents assert themselves,
which awaken alternately feeling of
pleasure and a sense of sorrow. The
immortal words which heralded the
advent of He whose life illuminated
the fullness of their power, "Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men," are today
upon the lips Of all men, irrespective
of race, creed or politics and could
we but foster, not alone on Xmas day,
but permit each succeeding morn, the
ennobling influence of this teaching,
much of the pettiness, peevishness and
lamentable. paltriness Of our daily
strife will be avoided. Truly is it
said that friendships are built on an
understanding, while enmities are
simply a lack Of understanding" To
those who would understand, alike to
those who will not, your scribe ex-
tends in all sincerity the earnest wish
that Xmas may prove season Of
gladness and the year that is to be
may be enriched with the trinity of
blessings all hearts desire, Health,
Happiness and Prosperity.
Chris Saugstad is an extremely
busy man these days; grinding feed
and cutting Yule logs to brighten the
Xmas freside of many heighbors.
Beebe, the veterinarian, butcher
and general encyclopedia, has found
his services in demand of late. There
are few things Bert can't do, but like
Chris engine, you have to get him
started once.
The Logan Band is making good
progress, the boys one and all display
mig an enthusiasm which augurs we'll
for future success. Vern Packard,
solo cornetist, has muchness of vim,
but for the time being has to check
the exhuberance of his spirits, his
jugular vein being distended we'll
nigh to the bursting point at a recent
practice. But we are glad to note he
is recovering rapidly.
Ernie Stredwick from Pleasant VAL
ley, Alberta, is renewing old acquain-
tances in these parts.
Ray Bates, globe trotter, wander
ed with the popular Lud Mostad to
Bena, Mimi, where Lud is lord of 40
of Gods fertile acres. Ray returned
recently and the description Of that
particular forty is unlike anything we
have read in the state guide to Mime
sofa. As friend Lud will be back in
our midst we refrain from quoting it.
Miss Laura Teets, who has been
enjoying delightful vacation among
friends and relatives in Iowa, return
ed to North Prairie last week.
Mrs. Anna Beebe was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Pennewell on
Thursday last.
Harry Cook, who travelled East in
search of fame and fortune, is, we UNI
derstand, now filling with credit the
position of clerk in the Minneapolis
Post Office. Harry is ambitious and
energetic.
The influence of the press is evident
in many ways. Jack Whitson, our
popular street commissioner, in the
course of an interview recently, de-
clared the intention of cleaning up our
main thoroughfares, instancing one
particular point which needed the re-
moval of scrap iron. Jim Egan and
Jesse Giles, both citizens with civic
pride, got busy and effected quite an
But the weed patch
still remains north of the veterinary
hospital.
Our vigilant deputy game warden
would warn those who are ignoring
the game laws, that beaver are not to
be molested. McCutcheon has deter

the law and a nod should
be as good as wink to blind horse,
Your local scribe must plead guilty
to the committal Of two grievous err
rors in last weeks issue. First in
