that just wouldn't come off," but on
Sunday it illumined not his handsome
features. Nil desparaudum.
Mrs. Anna Beebe and family were
the guests of Mrs. Murphy of River
side avenue on Sunday.
Mr.. A. C. Nedrud, who diversifies in
his farming operations, has a promis-
ing crop of potatoes, the seed of which
he brought from Norway, a fine stand
of field peas and field of alfalfa
which is even better than a much laud-
ed registered farm can exhibit. But
he farms wisely and near Logan.
Mrs. David Forbes was on Thurs
day visitor with Grandma Waldref.
Eighty-four summers has Grandma
enjoyed and today, despite the loss of
Gods precious gift of sight, takes a
keen interest in all that occurs local or
national.
The establishment of public mar
ket in Minot is an improvement yet to
be effected. The reference recently
in editorial columns Of the lack Of
hitching posts, touches a subject the
farmer feels strongly on, and, while he
recognizes the growth of traffic neces-
states some regulation in this respect,
he notes that the wagon is an obsta-
Gle and blot on the landscape on thor
oughfares, the sidewalks of which are
unapproachable for idle automobiles.
The farmers team has, or should have,
the same privilege as the city mans
car, and it is an insult to tell him that
hitching facilities while trading, can
not be granted because their wagons
block the street. Main street and all
leading thereto are filled with cars
daily, which for hours are not in use,
and Mr. and Mrs. Farmer feel and
will make Minot feel, that what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. Patterson's shows will draw
a crowd for a day, but you must cater
for those who make Minot what she
is in broader and more generous
spirit to draw the crowd all the time.
We notice that meetings, religious
or otherwise, that have been ANNOUNCE
ed through these columns are better
attended and where such are held for
the benefit Of the whole community, a
brief notification affords an opportun-
ity of all having knowledge of the
event, anyway. A card at Box 80 will
ensure attention and attendance and
also assist your local correspondent
to make known what Logan is accom-
plishing. According to Aesop, even the
mouse was able to rem
der valuable assistance to the mighty
lion and it's religious views were not
matter of serious concern to the lion,
either.
J. C. Gard & Son have a wondrous
display of summer and autumn fash
ions in tailoring effects and the most
fastidious can find what they seek.
The Latter Day Saints Aid were the
guests of Mrs. Will Humphrey of Tim
Der Edge Farm. A good gathering of
members and friends completed much
useful work, enjoyed a pleasant visit
and delicious luncheon daintily serv-
ed.
Road troubles, like the poor, we have
always with us. A decision has re-
Gently been handed down by Judge
Beebe of the Court Supine, that the
highway north of the section house
is to be and should be forthwith clos
ed. This would mean considerable in
especially to those using
Cooks hill, for to turn east or west
with load is a feat. But the enter
prising who have our towns develop
ment in mind will doubtless appeal
from the sublime Bert's dictum. An
[rishman loves to be ordinary, any,
way.
