EDITORIAL,
THE CLEAN CITY
CONTEST

II is about time we were waking
up to the fact that Logan is not
clean city. We have had our annual
clean up day and some good work
was accomplishment now we are
trying to forget II till next clean up
day. What would you think of man
who prided himself on the fact that
he had bath and a shave every
year: Cleanliness is matter of
constant effort and cannot be achicv-
ed in any other way. There are weeds
eighteen inches high In the streets
in front OF more than half the houses
in Logan.
Haven't we been nagged at ON this
point about long enough? We have
had men up from Salt Lake City
on two or three occasions trying to
interest us in the clean city move
ment. The leaders among our wo-
men here in Logan have done every
thing In their power to push 1t along.
We know II is q good thing. Still
the subject falls fiat.
This Is a mans size Job. Our wo-
men have done all In their power
to have It done. They will continue
20 do all In their power. But until
the men take n interest in H. moth
ing can be accomplished. II we
are not big enough men for the job
then for heavens sake let's put on
our wives aprons and go out and
wash the dishes.
It Is not our intention 20 knock
Logan in this editorial. We believe
that the best way to boost logan
Is to make It such fine town that
every stranger who passes through
will boost 1t among his friends. Boost
ing does no good-advertising does
no good-unless you deliver the
goods. The man who keeps his
premises and the street In front OF
his house clean and beautiful. even
though he never utters word, is
doing more to boost Logan than tho
hot air merchant is who lets his
weeds grow while he tells what a
fine town he lives in.
Let's wake up and get together on
this matter. Let's take it Up n the
Boosters club and all the other
clubs and societies. Let's take 1t up
in all the churches and in all the
organizations of all the churches.
Lets enter the clean city contest
with other cities of our class--and
win. That's the kind OF boosting
that counts. The advertising We
would get from that alone would be
worth $4,000 to the town. But the
advertising from winning prize
would be a small matter compared
with the advertising we would get
from every stranger who visited our
town.
We have boosted Logan for her
natural beauties long enough. They
are there, but we deserve no credit
for them, 1t is time for us TO wake
up and furnish ourselves with some
real boost Notwithstanding &c

Thompson Finds Persistence Is It's Oton Retcard.
THOMPSON crouched back in his compartments
fegning slumber while the porter made up
his bed. He awakened drowsiy and tipped the
man, then made pretence of slipping out of his
coat Immediately the porter disappeared he
became the incarnation of energy. His hands
nervously fumbled with the lock of his grip,
opening IL finally and disclosing secret trap in
the bottom from which he took atomizer, a
pair of nippers, and bottle of pale viscid fluid.
For an hour he waited, motionless. not even
his fixed eyes blinking as he regarded the
tains of the berth Lucille occupied After that
time he slipped to the smoking compartment, TO
find the porter engaged in argument with
the club car man. He listened a moment then
strolled back to his compartment
He was swift; he certain; he was sure.
Not sound did he make he strobe boldly
down the lurching aisle his tools in his hand.
Deftly parting the curtains, he looked down upon
the sleeping girl. No atom of pity was in his
heart, All the thief now, his eyes glittered as
he allowed them to rest upon the glowing strand
of stones about her neck.
Swiftly he leaned over, applying his pinchers
to the gas jet and unscrewing it so that the
odor of the gas slowly began filling the stufy
section. Then he gently sprayed the ether across
her face, never moving when she unconsciously
stirred to fight of the anaesthetic.
Her breathing became heavier while her lips
took on blush tinge The gas was becoming
stronger and he knew her condition would be
ascribed to asphyxiation when she recovered
from the effects of the ether. STOPPING with
appearance of care now, he unfastened the
rubies from her throat A moment he waited
slipping them in his pocket, then he slipped back
to his compartment.
Carefully he repacked his grip, tucking the
necklace in his breast pocket. Against the door
he crouched, waiting.
No trace of anxiety he showed He was con-
fdent of himself. Came clamping down upon
the ties the air brakes worked. Thompson
threw open his window, looking out to discover
1t was opposite tiny station. With pocket
knife he cut out the screen that separated him
from the tracks
Cautiously he looked up and down the track
The train slowing down. He tossed his bag
far out from him then slipped partially through
the window. The lights of the station were al
most In his eyes when he jumped. landing on
his feet and regaining his balance with an effort
Then he permitted himself the luxury of a smile.
The next train through would be time
enough and-ihe booty in his breast pocket was
worth many risks.

DR.. Ng. Poon Chew, of Canton,

represents his country as Consul, who
came to Atlanta from the East early
this week for the Atlanta Bible Con-
ference, said Saturday that he con-
sidered womens fashions, as they
prevail to-day in the United states,
one of the most prominent indica-
lions of degrading tendencies noted
by him since his fifteen years stay
among the American people.
DR.. Chew is an exponent of Christi
anity in his own country, and stated
that he hoped he would never see
among the Chinese women who had
accepted the Gospel through his
teachings the adoption Of the in
decent" dress he has witnessed Of
late on the streets of some big Ameri-
can cities.
Women in America have told me-
said DR.. Chew, that these varying
fashions are brought upon them by
force, and that the acceptance OF
questionable dress by few is more
or less of a command upon women
as whole to approve Of the latest
fad and initiate themselves on styles
probably in the great majority, not
of their own direct choosing. In TINS

In American ideas He says, how
ever, he will not permit his daugh-
ters to follow the late American dress
fashions for women, and that they
are quite content to adhere to the
mode Of dress in vogue among women

Burglar With Razor
Shot by a Policeman
In Serious Condition

William Ballard. a negro burglar was
captured Friday afternoon in the home
of W. H. Wright, at No. 40 Virginia
avenue. after desperate fight with
policemen, was in a serious condition at
the Grady Hospital Saturday. He was
shot through the stomach by Officer j..
w. McWilliams.
The negro first called at the home of
C. Fl. Chapman next door and asked for
work. The police think he was trying
to find out II any one was at home.
Then he apparently left for town, but
shortly afterwards Mrs. Wright rushed
to neighboring houses, saying a burglar
was in her house. The police were
called.
The burglar did not suspect that he
had been discovered until six policemen
rushed in on him. With an open razor
he attempted to pass the officers, but a
pistol shot brought him to the floor.
Valuable jewelry belonging to Mrs.
Wright was found in his pockets.
