The Hard Times dance, promoted
BY Manager Locher proved to be one
of the most successful gatherings
held at the Odd Fellows hall. A good
ly assembly of folks from far and
near enjoyed to the uttermost a real
good time.
The Logan Literary and Debating
Society met on Saturday evening and
an enjoyable program was rendered.
The Good Samaritans had arranged q
pie social to follow so the debate was
dispensed with. Each and every var
iety of the genus pie was served, and
the good ladies' efforts resulted in
the sum of $11.70 being raised for the
purchase of materials for Aid work.
Mr.. Kuchenbecker auctioned six pies
which survived the onslaught, averag-
ing so cents a pie. Logan likes Logan
pies alright.
The Latter Day Aid will be enter
tanned by Mrs. Will Humphrey Of
Hecker. To all cordial invitation
is sincerely extended.
Free Cooks recitations at the Lit
erary meeting on Saturday were quite
{ feature.
The Good Samaritan Aid was enter
tanned by Mrs. Anna Beebe on Thurs
day. The Society, while in Its infan-
cy, has q strong membership roll, and
promises success. The many present,
members and friends, devoted the at
ternoon to work exclusively, accom-
plishing much and saying little. A
luncheon, delicious and daintily serv-
ed, brought to close satisfactory
meeting.
Saturday, Feb. 18th, at Logan schoo!
the Literary and Debating society will
be pleased to meet you at 8 p. m. A
good program is promised, and the de-
bate twixt the Alfalfa King and Pro
lessor Bridges should surely prove
interesting. Subject: "That More
Happiness is Derived from Bachelo,
Existence than Married Life"
