LOCAL HAPPENINGS FROM LOGAN

Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Peck were Lo-
gan visitors on Monday, arousing
anew the interest in the neighborhood
clubs which have already accomplished
SO much along cooperative lines. In
the course Of few weeks our local
clubs will submit their winter pro-
grams and every farmer with every
member of his family should get ac-
quainted with the object and purpose
of these organizations and their aims
which can only be properly under
stood by personal attendance. In
every sphere the knocker is to be found
but the corn yields, the pork produc-
ton, the alfalfa fields, stand today as
|evidence of progressive movement
which is fostered by all, but puerile
minority whose arrogance convinces
them that are endowed with supe-
rior wisdom, and whose expressive,
though limited vocabulary prompts
them to designate every new move
ment as Graft" The date of the To-
cal meeting will be shortly announced.
The Logan Literary and Debating
society met on Friday evening at the
high school, when varied and inter-
|esting program afforded entertainment
to crowded house. Mrs. Will Heck
Ter and Mrs. Oliver Saugstad delighted
those present by a capable rendering
of popular song. Miss Burma Ross
and Mrs. Carl Ross were also heard to
advantage. Miss Mabel Ross inter-
esting recitation was appreciated, and
Miss Burma Ross in manner telling
the exciting escapade of a Dutchman
and his better. half. The strains of
martial music were provided by
Messrs. Packard and Teats and Mr..
Ray Bates gave brief yet suggestive
recitation. The debate was centered
in the relative attractiveness of Town
and Country Life, Vic Teets champion
ing the city's claim, while the coun-
try was represented by Carl Ross.
Miss Henderson, Elmer Ross and Ell
mer voiced the rural claims, and Vern
Packard and Will Brand opposed. An
interesting discussion to which all con-
tributed creditably, but in welcoming
debaters, we on the principle of be-
slowing honor where honor is due
would congratulate this lady on the
brief, yet eloquent contribution which
undoubtedly gave to the country's
claim; the judges verdict. Mr.. Jesse
Giles was elected president; Miss Hen
derson, secretary, and Mrs. w. Hecker,
Mrs. Oliver Saugstad and another
whose name we failed to obtain, make
a strong program committee. The
Logan Searchlight, cleverly edited by
Miss Nellie Ross, was feature Of the
evening. The society meets each Fri
day at p. m. and all interested in de-
bate or cheerful, comical, convivial,
convenient country concerts can CO.
|operate cheerfully.

BILE home of Chas. Taylor on S. Prairie
