did well indeed with a pleasing reci-
tation and Miss Winnie Bean, as edi-
tress of the Logan Searchlight, chron-
icled in truly witty vein the frailties,
the idosyncracies of local celebrities
of which more anon. The debate was
handled by Mr.. Bridges and Mrs. Rus
sell Gard, for the affirmative, and the
old war horse, Mr.. Tom Hecker, Mrs.
Teets and Vic Teets dealt with the
negative; subject: Resolved, that our
future is dependent upon our individ-
ual efforts. The speeches were dis
itnctly above the average and those
participating are to be congratulated
on the mastery manner the difficult
subject was handled. The affirmative
gained the judges decision, which did
not, however, meet with popular ap..
prevail.
Curtice Cross was Sawyer visitor
early last week. AS a salesman of
high class fruit Curt struck new
trail to wealth, unloading many boxes
in our neighboring market.
Mr.. Ralph Gard has been enjoying
a delightful vacation with friends and
relatives Kenmare ways. Anent this
ask Ralph to tell you the telephone
story. A brief comedy.
Mr.. A. C. Nedrud accompanied by
County Commissioner Anderson, were
among distinguished visitors on Mon
day:
Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Kuchenbecker
were visitors between trains at Saw
yer on Monday. Mrs. Kuchenbecker

Logan is not represented by men,

a host of friends in these parts and is
deservedly popular.
Reuben Stredwick, one Of the pio-
neers of Ward county, was visiting our
market center on Monday. Though
nigh unto the allotted three score
years and ten, Reuhen's corn is known
throughout the state and while he help
ed in great measure to boost Logan's
superiority an innate modesty forbids
the self advertisement, common to
many less conscientious. So we pro-
claim the fact that friend Reuben has
seed corn, unrivalled, the securing of
which, will be wise investment.
Norwegian whist, is the popular
pastime among Logan's elite. Some
keenly contested games have recently
been enjoyed, and we understand that
a supper, of the delectable ''bivalvular
mollusc" will conclude a series of
games between local aspirants fol.
championship honors. We refrain
from naming contestants, owing to the
prevalence Of preachers who pretend
such pastimes are pernicious.
Logan has now new industry.
Roy Bates, one of the progressive,
and most energetic of the younger
generation, is prepared to execute or
ders for the delivery of this commod-
thy. But expeditions delivery is not
warranted during the present baseball
season.
Logan, the town of wondrous OPP
'protunities, affords an opening for an
enterprising hardware man, an effic-
lent blacksmith and an implement
house is also needed.
Miss Winnie Bean, who has charge
Of school Granville ways, favors the
Logan Literary Society at intervals
with her charming presence, and on
Saturday last edited the local journal,
the "Logan Searchlight." The squibs
and witticisms reflected a truly viva
