extended all interested.
Mrs. j. I. Brady. who has been en-
joying brief vacation Deering ways,
returned on Sunday.
On Friday evening, Sept. /, arrange
to attend the swell dance Logan is ar
ranging, to help clear the indebted
ness on the hah.
Sunday school is held at Logan hall
At II a. m. Mrs. W. Hecker will be
glad to welcome new pupils. The
Presbyterian Sunday school meets
every Sabbath afternoon at 2:30 when
the Truth is presented in a manner
both interesting and instructive.
Honest criticism is the salt of ex-
istence and they who fear such dread
that spade be termed a spade. At
rare intervals we have felt compelled
to give expression to general opinion
respecting certain individuals, perhaps
less complimentary than true, but it
is never intentional to offend sect
y
member Every flock has black
sheep. and even when whitewashed
they are poor limitations of the real
thing. Logan is tolerant and justly
proud of the virtue, but will not ac-
cept a humbugging charlatan.
Mrs. H. H. Kuchenbecker and her
daughter, Evelyn, of Columbus, N. D.,
were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. H. c.
of that ilk several days last week.
The 500 company would add consid-
erably to their reputation for orderll-
ness could they but be persuaded to
cut the heavy growth of weeds which
are an eyesore to visitors and natives
alike. Those east of the Farmers ell
evator will soon be of size suitable
for 500 line ties.
Threshing is now we'll under way,
and results thus far are distinctly en-
couraging. Wheat is yielding Is to 20
bushels and barley and oats were
never better. Earle Stredwick has
corn 111a feet high. Cook Brand and
Stredwick have cut alfalfa which pro-
duced above the average and Minot is
living almost entirely, from a potato
standpoint, on the superior product of
Logan soil. Logan has the soil, which
despite adverse weather conditions re-
turns wondrous harvest.
Mrs. Art Bergesen enjoyed brief
visit among friends and relatives last
week in and near Flaxton, returning
on Sunday.
Our recent comment respecting the
embryo hunting hound Gordon import
ed, brings forth the fact that three
squares has been the daily ration and
that the pronounced leanness of the
pup is due to lack Of internal fittings
responsible for the proper digestion
of exceptionally rich diet. The pur-
chase of several sheets Of Tanglefoot
suggests possibilities. The canine is
young, and apparently hungry, and
might be persuaded in an absent
minded moment to swallow these, if
rolled and favored with aniseed. A
new inner tube, thus composed, would
help the patient retain those three
squares long enough to extract a lit
tie nutriment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn and infant
daughter from Arlington, Iowa, are
the guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. l.
Hines of Minot and Logan. Mr.. Glenn
with his father-in-law, was visitor
in our town on Tuesday and speaks
favorably of the prospects afforded ii
many lines, and was impressed by the
marked superiority of the crops here
abouts.
