The annual school election caused
but little excitement, no harsh words
or hard feelings, being conducted in
the quiet and orderly manner which
marks Logan's efforts. Mr.. Oliver
Saugstad was reelected for term
Of 8 years as director. Mr.. Robert
Waldref was elected treasurer and
the board were given power to sell
school house No. 4, commonly known
as the King school. Mr.. Kuchenbeck-
er, though not candidate, had two
votes cast for him, likewise James D.
Bell, who in his own sweet way cleo
tioneered and distributed advice free
ly. He has discovered that Logan
shelters "those guilty of every crime
on the criminal calendar" but our
venerable friends should not be tax
en- too seriously. We believe with
Dean Swift that when men grow pro-
fessedly virtuous in their old age they
are merely making sacrifice to God
Of the DEVILS leavings.
June 24th, the day when your pri-
mary vote is cast, the Nedrud farm
stead, we are informed, is the polling
place for this district.
Tuesday morning, just as the sun
illumined the east, a cherub made
glad the hearts of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Gard. Another embryo Socialist can
didate for President from Logan. Con-

Miss Taylor and Miss Bernadine
Ross, Mr.. Fred Taylor and Harry
Forbes were Velva visitors recently.
Mrs. Russell Gard was the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Brassett of Sawyer
on Friday last.
Next Sabbath day, June 7th, at 8
p. m. at Logan school, Mr.. Earl
Pounds of Sawyer will conduct SER
vice. To you and I, everybody, in
fact, is extended cordial invitation
and your attendance will be apprec-
lated.
Rev. Rood of Minot Congregational
church preached on Sunday afternoon
at the High School. There were many
present and despite the Scotchman's
denunciation of Logan it's not such a
Goddess burg as he imagines. 5.e.
Mrs. j. C. Gard and Mrs. Russell
Gard were among the distinguished
visitors within the Magic Sphere last
week end. .... ..
Mr.. Reece Dickie and Mr.. and Mrs.

Curt Cross, who is now located
near the Gassman ranch, was Logan
visitor last week end. Curt has 80
head Of cattle, fine pasture and pros
perity to encourage him.
Reece Dickey will leave during the
next few days for a tour of the East
ern states, renewing acquaintance
and enjoying life in Illinois, Iowa,
Arkansas and Oklahoma He will rep
resent the Interstate Land Co., and
his own success in few brief years
will doubtless induce others to be-
come residents of North Dakota. We
understand that there are many cheap
quarter sections still available for
settlement Burlington ways but in
Logan and district, land is held at a
premium and is surely worth it. Corn,
potatoes, cabbage, wheat and alfalfa
have made Logan even more famous
than bricks will Burlington.
Mesdames Kuchenbecker, Bergeson,
Edna and Minnie Gard, accompanied
by their good husbands, enjoyed a
most delightful motor outing on Sun
day afternoon. The evening found the
party as guests of Mrs. Bergeson and
many pleasant hours were devoted
to the enjoyment of good music.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Pounds of Saw
yer were guests of Mrs. Russell Gard
on Wednesday.
Some weeks ago the fact was chron-
icled that from dewey morn till dusky
eve Logan's blacksmith was ever busy
It would now appear that Burlington
has also a blacksmith, but he surely
cannot have been very busy in the past
to have been so long overlooked. The
stir and hustle, born of the business
of our town, prompted your scribe to
secure a suburban retreat and there
are still several bungalow sites avail
able in the residential quarter of our
town.
Thorwald Mostad, Deputy U. S.
Marshal, was in Logan on Tuesday,
his interest in matters educational
prompting the visit. Thorwald is
chairman of the district school board
and altogether busy public official.
He is developing a tendency to rotund-
ity we really believe.
The Good Samaritan Aid will be

strong chick, and these will help to

Fremont Cook of Oak Grove Farm
who has one Of the finest herds Of
Holsteins in the state and was among
the first to erect silo in these parts,
is devoting special attention to the
hog proposition this season. He has
fenced in quarter section and there
one can view thrifty young Durocs
gamboling in the verdant pasture, or
enjoying the cool shade of the many
oak trees. We can't raise all the
pork but Logan grows the best.
In these days, every other person
we meet is either running for Office
or ready to explain the unsuitability
of those who would become public
servants. Logan has been honored by
the presence of many candidates and
our hoardings are fact becoming q
veritable picture gallery. We have
no brief for any in particular and with
hesitation venture an opinion. But a
lifelong experience has proved be-
yond question one fact which seems
to have some bearing on the contest
for sheriff, and briefly it is that the
guiding priciple of those who bear
the ancient name of Shaw has ever
been "Pro Bono Publico." And we
feel that w. S. has at heart the public
good.
Miss Tillie Mostad was the guest
of her sister, Mrs. Oliver Saugstad,
last week end.
Mr.. H. C. Kuchebecker's sleeping
bungalow is an artistic addition to
his residence. The latest hygienic
teachings are exemplified and while
ornamental, it promises to be exceed

| After George Washington, the
Caddoa chief. had assa assinated his
father. Quisqui0. at the agency on
the Muddy Boggy and got all the old
mans horses, he concluded to re-
form by moving out west to grow Ut
with the country. The warrior OF q
thousand battles naturally essayed
that peace held Victories quite as
splendid as those Of war and seeing
the trend of the times under the
white mems domination, the Caddooa
chief took up ranch on the Canad-
ian ten miles above the Newbcrry
crossing and blossomed forth in the
spring of 1874 as a farmer.
One night the two army scouts,
Charles Christy and Frank Harring-
ton. stopped there, fed their horses,
get fine supper. had good sleep
and devoured hearty breakfast.
When they came to settle and go on
Christy's bill was fifty cents while
Harm ston had to pay $o. When
asked about 1t Washington explained
he knew Christy but was not ac-
quainted with Harrin ston. and this
is about the size of an Indians reas-
on for anything. Like all other In
dians, George Washington loved
watermelons above all other earthly
possessions and decided like Samuel
Weller's fathc: that it was good
idea while lie was getting to get a
plenty.
He put in a big patch to the lus-
cious sandals and as it was a good
season for such dry year. the vines
came on amazingly and bore. prodig-
iously until like the satisfied Dutch
man he had more as many-more as
he could use. One evening when the
setting of the sun when another day
was done Henry Chilles' outfit
bound from BOggy station to Camp
supply came alonS up the trail on
the opposite side of the Canadian and
went into camp directly across the
shallow stream from George WASH
ington's watermelon ranch. The
queen of night had no sooner drawn
the curtain and pinned it with star
than two ungracious teamsters in the
freighting outfit decided that water
melons ought to be ripe at that time
and as it was a starry night Tor
ramblein the dewey dell before the
harvest moon illuminated too much
of the earth's somber surface. they
took two gunny sacks and waded
across the river to help themselves
like so many thieving niggers to
George Washington's fine Georgia
pippins.

comb or soft brush with it and
