Prairie, were the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earle Stredwick of Riverside
Farm, during the week end. Earle,
whose alfalfa became famous, scored
quite a triumph in the potato contest
Logan was well represented at the
recent Mid-winter Fair, but just exact
ly what Logan thinks, l a'int a-going
to tell. 1t might cause GOODNESS in
the "Windy City" ...
On Lincoln's birthday a sweet little
| blue-eyed cherub came to gladden. the
hearts of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Howard.
May the young gentleman's future
lead to that enviable pinnacle of fame
and esteem which his illustrious pre-
decessor has gained in the hearts of
men and women.
A moving picture show presented
by Mr. Richardson, met with consid-
cradle support. Wider advertising
would ensure larger crowd and when
next in this vicinity, Mr.. R. will find
many boosters.
The cooperation of each and every
good lady is earnestly requested in
order that the basket social and pro-
gram announced for Tuesday evening
February %, may be a real success.
The proceeds will be devoted to the
building fund of Logan's new hall, an
institution that will prove of benefit
to all, and it is hoped that the sup
port accorded will be general.
Jack Brady, the popular buyer at
the Minnekota elevator, reports a
highly satisfactory season. Several
days this week he has handled thirty
loads of grain, which fact speaks vol
umes for the good roads leading to
Logan Jack has every prospect of
buying over 100000 bushels of grain
ere the season closes.
Mr.. and Mrs. D'Forrest Ross are
now residing on Main street. We
understand that Hans, as he is famil-
iarly termed by host of friends, will
be ready for business as soon as the
goods arrive and the early part of next
week will witness the opening of Lo-
gan's new grocery store.
Mrs. Hattie Smith of Tasker was
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Forbes several days last week, return
ing on 1O5 on Saturday. We imagine
the population of that little burg is
beautifully limited. as our fair visitor
just had to get back to enable the
natives to find the fourth hand for
Whist-Norwegian.
Tasker has a live correspondent,
who makes the best of a bad job, al
ways. Logan, we are proud to ac-
knowledge, has town hall, admitted
ly the best in Ward county. She en-
Joys also all those natural resources
and material recommendations condu-
Give to a happy, comfortable and
profitable existence. In short she has
everything but coal mine. Tasker
is merely coal mine with name, so
blessed that when demand for her
sole product arises, she has to admit
an inability to come across. !
Burlington is sadly concerned per-
iodically and Logan is invariably the.
cause of this protested anxiety. We
note that since the introduction of the
electric light, nothing of real import
ance has occurred in the town that
can fill orders for coal. Having fully
recovered from the dissipation conse- .
uuent upon the entertainment, in man
ner proper, of a show troupe, we can
now appreciate the sorrow. of the
Burlington lady, who lamented that
the show in question had never been
as good since Uncle Tom died!! r.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. |. Brady and son
Charles were Sawyer visitors on Mon
day. Sawyer, by the way, is just east !,
of Logan on the 500. &isG@
Mrs. H. C. Kuchenbecker is again

come more reassuring bulletins. Al /
Mr.. L. Bates was Minot visitor
during Fair week. While sojourning
in the Windy City, consultation with
an optician resulted in Lou adopting
Just the cutest type of Pince-nez,
which lend to his pleasing features
quite a sanity expression. A certain
son of Adam, with feminine curiosity,
inquired if he bought these to use
when playing pool. We wonder if the
callow youth imagines he bought them
to wear while asleep. Otherwise the
question seems superfious for poker
playing doesn't 60 any more.

WINGED A. C. that Logan as a winter
resort offers attractions that Wash
ington lacks. y
Imitation is the sincerest form Of
hattery, we are told. Rumor has it
that Sawyer would like to build hall
after the pattern of Logan. Sawyer
also conceived the idea of a local band.
Both worthy objects. But we under
stand the support accorded by the
merchants was insufficient to enable
those interested to purchase even a
second hand bass horn. Unity is
strength!
Mr.. M. L. Hines has been busy dur
ing the past week invoicing the stock
of lumber, preparatory to adding sew
eral carloads to the local yard.
Guy Putney was Sawyer visitor
between trains on Wednesday.
Miss Manda Nedrud was the guest
of Mrs. Oliver Saugstad on Tuesday
attending the picture show during the
evening. I,
