LOGAN MURMURS.
We understand that arrangements
have at last been made whereby our
town and vicinity will benefit by the
opening of the new 500 depot, which
by the way is the most handsome and
commodious twixt the Magic and the
Twin Cities. Ralph Gard, who has
been developing the Western Ex-
press interests at Logan can now fur
nish one and all with the necessary
passports to almost anywhere. Lo-
gan on the 500 is now on the map
and destined to grow amazingly.
Miss Myers of Kenmare is the
guest of her sister, Mrs. Ralph Gard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Teigan are to
take up their residence in Minot short
ly and Logan regrets their departure.
During their brief sojourn in our
midst they have taken keen and ac-
tive interest in all that appertained to
the development of our town and we
trust that in the wider sphere which
Minot affords they may find Fortune
in merry mood: It has been truly
said that Gnats are unnoted where
soccer they fly, but eagles are gazed
upon by every eye, or, as Shakespeare
has it, the Moon being clouded pres
emily is missed. But little stars may
hide them when they list.
Mr.. j. C. Gard, our local Sears Roe.
buck, was Minot visitor on Tuesday
last. We are pleased to learn that he
is deriving much benefit from a course
of treatment recently submitted to.
The Union Ladies' Aid were enter
tanned in royal manner by Mrs. Will
Humphrey of Hecker on Thursday
last. A goodly gathering Of members
and friends piled the nimble needle
till eyes grew weary. and DIM, Lunch
con appetizing and dainty recuperated
the industrious assembly and q truly
enjoyable visit was the unanimous re-
port the minutes chronicled.
Miss Bernadine Ross ! popularity
was emphasized on Saturday last
when on the occasion Of her birthday
all the young folks for miles around
gathered to tender congratulations
and offerings valuable and varied. "A
merry party in happy mood dispersed
when Chanticler suggested chore time
was approaching.
Eugene Humphreys birthday was
also marked by q gathering Of little
folks who enjoyed just the time Of
their lives.
Friend Sherman, who is deservedly
popular with Loganites, has weak
ness and admits it. Mince pie will
distract his thoughts from the more
serious things of this life, but lest we
forget, when next our genial friend
wanders to the town of possibilities,
if we can by "occident" omit to use
"Snowwhite" in preparing the tooth
some .morsel his appreciation of our
hospitality may be lessened.
A paragraph in q recent issue re-
fleeing the opinion Of q respected
Old Timer suggested that the cheer
full croaking Of the frogs augered well
for the coming crops. In this local
;ty the frogs have quit croaking, mer-
lily or otherwise, but persistent and
pesimistic imitation can be heard in
local assemblies when the keynotes,
crops or weather, are even mentioned.
As the neighborhood oracles assert,
it is unreasonable to expect, under the
present system Of government, that
Nature will bestow paying crop.
Naturally, she's waiting till the pro-
Queer gets his rightful share and the
wicked bankers have gone elsewhere.
Minot, the Immaculate, is illustrat-
ing an old saying, "New Brooms
Sweep Clean" The water wagon Gre
ates interest and Nehemiah as q dry
farmers expert is emphasizing the
necessity Of getting down below the
surface if you wish to secure the BEN
efits Of moisture. History records a
Puritan period, sincere indeed, follow
ed, however, by a period in which the
resentment Of the people to political
| prudery was made manifest. And
history has a knack Of repeating her
self. '53
Thorwald Mostad was visitor in
our midst on Sunday last.
Earle Stredwick had the misfortune
to lose valuable Jersey COW on FRI
day last and on the same unlucky day
q 500 train handled a promising
brood SOW in a manner so abrupt ana
rough as to make Identification diff
cult. In this wierd world the noblest
and the best are the most tried. most
troubled and DISTRESSED. So be Of good
cheer, Earle.
Friday, May 2, marked the closing
of the school session and parents and
pupils celebrated the occasion BY q
luncheon luscious and lavish. "A rep
resentative gathering spent an enjoy
able time. 3
Tom Saugstad secured for Logan
the proud distinction Of producing
the first onions in these parts, but
friend McCutcheon will engage in .
neck and neck struggle for supremacy
during the coming season.
Mrs. Ole Saugstad, who has been .
sufferer for many moons from rieu-
matte affection, is now, we are glad to
note, enjoying better health. On
Thursday last, she surprised her large
family Of large sons BY returning to
the home farm and preparing i spread
lust like mother always did and ~
