Many Mitchell county farmers who
trade in Beloit are free to express
their opinions that the street of Be

Town of Logan Wide Awake.
Logan, Kan. Feb. 3.-A visitor in
Logan will see two or three vacant
store buildings. as they will find in
most all the towns. This doesn't in
dictate that business is overdone, but
it does tell the story that crops were
light in 1912, the same as they were
all over the state and in many other
states. Wait until the harvest comes.
and II Phillips county and all north
west Kansas doesn't raise the biggest
yields. then everybody in this section
will be disappointed. The prospects at
this time for big wheat yields are
flattering. The deep down moisture is
a record breaker In all the north Gen.
trail and northwest Kansas wheat belt
Logan is one OF the pretty, Clean.
pushing towns the visitor will see.
Many of her business houses are built
and attractive lawns greet the eye Of
the visitor. The school houses and
churches are creditable to town
many times larger. The visitor can
walk all over the town on cement
walks. For a town this size that can
works and electric lighting as does Lo-
gan is a surprise to the visitor. Not
so with the people OF this town, for
almost all of them are built with q big
progressive spirit and this means push
and do things. To keep up with the
procession the Republican newspaper
made the office present OF a modern
first class standard linotype and press
and motor power. and today the Office
is as modern and up-to-date as any
newspaper office in this part Of the
state.

best farms in northwest Kansas. II
contains $40 acres and is nine milel
from Logan. He Is a rustler. He has
270 head OF cattle, one-half Of them
being on full feed. Since November
1 he has hauled from Logan to hi,
farm 1900 pounds Of shelled corn
and will haul that much more in thu
next two months. Then he expects tt
market them. There are two silos OF

each. The barn il commodious ant

plete a farm as this will cost tn,
buyer $4,000.
There is everything to commend IL
! the pushing spirit of the people O.
Logan. Here thrifty, clean town hal
