WHERE IS LOGAN?

Logan, nesting midst the shelter
and scenic beauty of the picturesque
grandeur Of the magnificent timber,
which fringes the Mouse river, nine
miles east of Minot, is the centre Of a
territory far famed for fertility. As
far as the eye can reach, from what
soever compass point we choose, evil
dence of prosperity is afforded; and
the yields recorded and verified Of
wheat, oats, barley, or flax, are we'll
above the State average. Logan corn
has won the highest honors in wide
competition; Logan potatoes are ship
ped by the carload each season for
seed. Garden truck and poultry pro-
ducts are unexcelled, and no other dis
trict adjacent to Minot, can exhibit
better cattle, horses or hogs. Logan
invites inspection and comparison,
confident that her claims while SEEM
ingly extravaganza, are not exaggerat-
ed.

AFFORDS
MUCH PLEASURE
Wholesome Play Presented in Auditori-
um by Competent Company De-
lights Good Sized Audience.

One of the most wholesome and most
satisfactorily presented comedies given in
Brattleboro in recent years was The Max
ing Over of Mrs Matt, by James Forbes,
which delighted good sized audience in
the Auditorium last evening. May
Robson in the leading role had album
dant opportunity to display her remark
able talents, which embraced wide va
rety OF human emotions, and the entire
company was strictly high class, while the
specially fine renditions by Leitsinger' s
orchestra added much to the evening s
pleasure
The Making Over Of Mrs, Matt is a
blending of romance and motherly love
and embraces both farce comedy and seri-
Gus dramatic acting. 1t was cleverly
handled last night and created tn.
multuous laughter. The vexatious expe
riences through which Mrs Matt passed
in being made over form simple do
mesticity to a social leader to please
her ambitious husband presented a great
variety of amusing situations which the
playwright had worked out with great
skill. Into the story was woven a love
affair between Mr.. Mats stenographel
and his son, which the father opposed bu
which the mother abetted, and the play
ends in a dramatic scene in which Mr.
Matt is finally brought to give his bless
ing upon the match.

SUBMARINE REPORTED.
Boat 275 Miles Off Capes May Be the
Long Missing Bremen.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 26.-A for
eign submarine, believed to be either
the German undersea merchantmen
Deutschland or Bremen, was reported
last night 275 miles southeast of the
Capes. 1t Is not known here whether
the vessel will attempt to reach New
London or 90 up the Potomac. Foreign
warships have, however, made dash
for the north to cut off the submarine
should she try to make New London.
A report was circulated here to the
effect that wireless message had
been received from German subma-
rine announcing her position as with
in 300 miles of the Atlantic coast. 1t
was learned that the Deutschland,
which made a successful trip to this
country and then returned to Germany
had sailed from her home port more
than two weeks ago. 1t was limited
that the Deutschland 8 name had been
| changed to either that of the Bremen
or the America. The Bremen, which
sailed from Germany in the summer is
| reported on good authority to have
| been lost.
The Eastern Forwarding company
which made arrangements for the dock
ing of the Deutschland at Baltimore
has had its agents in New London
awaiting the arrival of another mer
chant submarine.

ance OF success.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Field Marshal Won Mackensen' advance
through the Rumanidn province OF
Dobrudja, where his combined German,
Bulgarian and Turkish forces have been
striking for the railroad to interior Ruma-
MIA, has been checked for the time being,
according to accounts from both sides.
Reports regarding the fighting in the
Florina district in northwestern Mace
donia are conflicting Those from entente
sources have asserted that the Bulgarlans
were falling back on Serbian territory and
preparing for the defense of Monastir.
Sofia, however, announces a turn in the
fighting favorable to the Bulgarian forces.
Further east, in the mountain country on
the Serbian border, the engagement is a
heavy one On the far western end of the
line the allies are making progress but ap-
parently are attempting no serious for
ward movement.
The defeat of the Germans in their des
perate counter attacks along the Sommc
front, reported last night by Paris, has
been followed by comparative quiet in this
region. After lapse of some days activ
ity has been resumed by the French il
, the Nerdun region.
