The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1914-04-23

for locating this institution inyesti-
gate with open mind the irresistible
claims and charms of Logan. There
is no better spot in North Dakota,
though doubtless the pedantic and To-
quaclous student of ancient Greece and
modern garbage removing may in his
official capacity feel bound to boost
the charms of the Vestibule of Hea-
ven. The Vestibule, after all, is but
the entrance way and better con-
ception of Heaven may result by
continuance of ones pilgrimage to Lo-
gan on the 500.
How sadly Minot needed cleaning up
has been widely advertised and a POM
pous little official has, from the view
point of automobile upholstery, ex-
pressed many opinions, each empha-
sizing the Importance of the firstper
son pronoun I. But we witnessed
within few rods of the City Hall, an
Illustration of primitive methods. But
20 feet distant was barn with NOW
full of hay, in the foreground, de-
lapldated tin container, into which a
tastldlous store clerk, who feared ap
parently to soil his dainty hands, was
thrusting varied assortment of in
f1ammable rubbish. Piled high above
the can, the flames waited by strong
WIND were source of danger to prop
erty adjoining and explained why Mi
not has high insurance rates. Ordi-
naces are respected in the breach rath-
err than the observance, as most farm
ers appreciate when ountering the
speed maniac, whose Interpretation of
mile an hour travel is upheld by the
mlnons of the law. Minot is fast be-
coming great city, but she still
cllngs to a disregard of modern ordi
nances.
And farmers are asking, not only in
Logan but throughout the entire adj
Jacent territory when Secretary Hol-
lenga will commence to boost for a
Public Market in Minot. The need is
urgent.
The Good Samaritan club was en-
tertalned on Thursday last by Mrs.
James Egan at her charming new resi-
dence on University avenue. Thirty
four guests enjoyed the hospitality
OF the popular hostess, and the club
added six new members to an already
extensive list. The luncheon was lust
too nice for words, the good work ac-
complished emphasized what unity and
energy can achieve and the social adj
vantage of these gatherings was never
more forcibly illustrated.
| Mrs. Rob Waldref will entertain the
Samaritan Club on Thursday, April
Both. and all are cordially invited to
be present.
The Mysterious Mulligan Mixer,
whose good nature is ever exhibited,
was visitor on Tuesday, seeking
taste of the giddy whirl of city life,
after strenuous labor on the N. Pra-
irie experimental farm.
We have oftentimes termed Logan
the garden city, but Spring finds every
available inch of soil in the town in
high state Of cultivation. Even Ralph
Gard has designs on the Radish Kings
monopoly.
Mr.. Lights blacksmith shop is
busy centre, farmers APPARENTLY appre-
| ciating the convenience this establish
ment is proving.
We gave to Burlington the biscuit
their bard had earned and would re-
mind our western neighbors that we
lack bard, bad man and a Mastile.
Poetry has been defined as the art of
giving expression to ideals, conceived
in fantasy, wildly magnetic. Imag-
nation POLITICALLY presented is I'M
doubtless necessary to boost Burling-
ton, but the prosaic statement of plain
facts suffices to picture Logan's claims
truthfully, yet convincingly.
A farmers club on s. Prairie, with
membership energetic and numerous,
has no occasion to envy Logan's pre-
eminence in this particular. The |
Logan and District Farmers club in
vites cordially the hearty cooperation
of all in the good work.
Have you inspected the millinery de-
partment at Madame Beebe's on Main
SIT It suggests a Partisan boulevard
in the wondrous array of fashions Gre
ations.
Mr.. Geo. Bridges, who as principal
of the High School has earned the
good opinion Of all with whom he has
been privileged to meet, will leave for
eastern points shortly. We trust that
he may again be selected to fill this
responsible Office. ."-,~ II
