Bro. Page of the Latter Day Saints
conducted services on Thanksgiving
Day at the school. A congregation
representative Of every denomination
made apparent the need of a larger
hall, and one was impressed by the
unity Of purpose which animated the
many present. Bro. Page, in an ear
nest address, emphasized the true spir-
it Of thankfulness.
Snow in Logan, accompanied by
hardship, suffering, privation and OPP
preston. On Thursday, irrespective
It creed, the good folks of the vicinity
assembled to give thanks for the many
blessings enjoyed. On Friday Mr.
Snow (Socialist) in the course of his
Peregrinations from coast to coast, de-
trained at Logan and aroused anew
the spirit of discomfort. His lecture,
clever, witty, and excellently delivered
covered the usual ground, a mental
picture portraying in unrelieved drear-
mess of color, one phase Of life, and
hat the darkest. Though interspers-
ed with many humorous anecdotes, a
fair analysis would lead but to the
question whats the good of any
thing" "Why nuffin'?" But it fol-
loved too closely on Thanksgiving day
to leave and lasting impression.
The Logan Literary and Debating
society had full house on Saturday
night. President Giles, who opened

Sders that the people of these parts
are unable to voice with any degree of

emitted the opening patriotic effort.
Russ Gard delighted the audience with
two well selected veins from his roper
toire and Miss lola Horning sang
sweetly taking song. Sherman
Thompson related story Of life in
St. Louis gaol in manner dramatic,
and Miss Mabel Ross contributed a
song. Ralph Gard and Vic Teets made
amends for the previous weeks dis
appointment, entertaining the assem-
bly, with cornet selections. Miss Teats
also sang charming song. The claims
Of cattle and sheep as profit producers
was the subject of debate. Will Heck
er handled ably the cattle claims and
the merits of sheep were demonstrated
by Will Humphrey. Elmer Cook, in
maiden effort, was interesting.
There are few who attend local
gatherings whose antics would sug-
gest either a deplorable lack of COM
mon courtesy or desire to exhibit
an unusual ignorance. If the enter
tainment or service fails to interest,
don't become conspicuous by throw
ing paper pellets, or chattering and
giggling, monkey like, but make room
for others who can appreciate what is
beyond you.
Miss Irene Sellman, who is teaching
school Burlington ways, spent Thanks
giving with her folks on S. Prairie.
The North Willis Farmers Club, a

ship Farmers Club had arranged a
successful Thanksgiving ball.
