would hesitate to term him paragon
nevertheless will be missed by all anG
each and everyone of us feel that the
district in losing these hospitable folk
can i'll afford to spare them. May
health, prosperity and naught but
happiness attend their future years.
In these columns week by week we
endeavor to proclaim to the outside
world all that is likely to promote the
growth, good name and general wei
fare of Logan. Many there are whose
curiosity is aroused and visit re-
suits. First impressions linger and il
behooves those whose interests, bust
ness or other, are centered in the town.
to do all possible to live up to high
standard of civic duty. There may
still be found, fringing fashionable
avenues, weeds which disfigure, junk
which is blot on an otherwise fair
landscape, and trifling eyesores, all
of which may create upon the mind Of
the passing visitor an incorrect esti-
mate of our importance. Our COM
mercial club comprises cooperative
boosters, who scorn to knock bust
ness rival and the spirit of harmony
and good will which is reflected twixt
neighbors is credit to the ideals
which guide us. Do not let us, how
ever, be content with speaking so
kindly of our fellow citizens, so proud
ly of our town, but each of us get out
and dig and clean, literally, our own
back yards. Twill help.
Mrs. Will Hecker has been suffering
sorely of late with an affliction re-
sulting from an injury to the knee
many weeks ago. The pain and in
convenience occasioned has been con-
siderable, but we trust that speedy and
complete relief may be enjoyed.
Misses Ruth and Orphe Frizzell Of
Savage, Montana, are enjoying de-
lightful visit with Mrs. Edna Gard Of
St. Marie avenue.
The local Grange will meet at the
high school on Saturday evening at 8
p. M, when many new members are to
be initiated.
Anent the above we listened recently
to an up-to-date farmers objections
to farmers organizations. Presuming
the possession of hundred dollars,
this worthy felt that he could approach
any Minot!! (not Logan) merchant
and dictate his own terms as to price
and quality The merchant, God bless
him, would kow-tow abjectly and the
wasted frame Of the wiley farmer
would puff with pride. The picture
presents but one side. Farmers clubs
and the Grange exist not only to per-
nit of cooperative purchasing, with its
attendant saving in dollars and cents,
but for the interchange of views,
ideas, aims and aspirations for the
realization that individual effort is but
for community benefit, and to proclaim
the fact that even farmers recognize
that in unity lies strength, and from 2
legislative, social and general aspect
in these days we must adopt the meth
DDS which on every hand are employed
to advance modern needs and c0ndi-
tions. Let us get together, eve as
other business men.
