up for Logan. He registered at the
Metropole on Wednesday and spent a
delightful if brief vacation meath that
hospitable roof. Ole has the local
Prince Charming guessing anyway.
Herman Kuchenbecker, son of the
genial H. c. of that ilk, has been sadly
and sorely afflicted and it is feared
that his illness is likely to result in
the loss of the sight of one eye. There
is still danger of the other being af-
fected, but all that opthatmic skill and
science can accomplish is at the suf-
ferer's disposal. Mrs. H. C. Kuchen-
becker has been untiring in her efforts
to comfort and relieve, and a multi
tude of friends earnestly hope that
blessed gift of sight may be preserved
and complete restoration to health
may attend the popular H. H. ere the
New Year dawns.
Ed Saugstad, as result of a per-
sistent and intelligent effort, had
fine crop this year which rendered
handsome profit. Ed, like his brother
Chris, in one respect, is like Adam,
he lacks an helpmeet. But if reports
which reach US are reliable the fall of
1915 should find him sharing the joys
and sorrows Of life. Here's to an
other good crop, Ed.
The same smart buggy was in the
same old place, the same night in the
week, and the same old story was be-
ing told in the same sweet way, not a
hundred miles from the Metropole,
Logan.
We regret to record the passing Of
Nels Saugstad, who after an illness
extending over several years, was
called to rest last Sabbath cen. He

teen years ago from Wright City,
Iowa, and settled on one of the most
picturesque farms the valley affords. |

The Logan Literary society held a
uccessful meeting on Saturday last
nd good program was enjoyed by
n appreciative audience. Mrs. Saug-
tad excelled in charming vocal num-
YER and Miss Mabel Stredwick de-
lighted with a truly humorous read
ng. Miss Anna and Rosie Stredwick
ang sweetly pleasing duet, and
Miss Margaret Schnitz' recitation was
heartily applauded; Mr.. and Mrs. Rus
ell Gard sang in finished manner a
aking song and Miss Charlotte Gard
pleased with brief recitation. Ira
)ard gave freely of his talent and Lo-
ian enjoyed the recital of an enter
ainment which has delighted audi
noes throughout the state, both east
md west. Vic and Vernice Teets, Carl
Ross, among others, caused much
by their efforts. which
brought forth much applause. The
lebate, "That money is greater in
entive to effort that the appreciation
# our fellow beings" was handled by
Prof. Downing and the lean English

veil deserved verdict. The next meet

:ommendable. But the parsimonious
