But Erickson, in a small community,

cooperation of all, in every local ef-

the benefits that accrue from the la
bors of others, and giving naught in

The Good Samaritan Aid were the
guests of Mrs. F. E. Ross on Thursday.
A good attendance of members and
friends gave cheerfully of their labor,
accomplishing much, enjoyed a pleas
ing visit and an exceeding dainty
lunch.
Mrs. Bunney and her sister, Miss
Goodwater, were among visitors to the
neighbors provided.
The Velva band, twenty-five pieces
under the leadership of Prof. Ira Gard,
visited Logan Friday evening. Sweet
music was discoursed, delighting a
crowded house. Miss Stromrud by
charm of voice aroused an enthusiasm
which revealed the artistic tempera-
ment of Logan. Following the con-
cert the boys furnished music for those
who love to trip the light fantastic,
until an early morning hour. Velva
has every reason to be exceeding proud
of her band.
Monday next an old custom is to be
perpetuated in Logan. The juicy meat
our pilgrim dads loved so we'll will be
rroffered those whose skill with % is
pronounced. Many turkeys, geese and
ducks are to be offered as a sacrifice
to those who take in the Thanksgiving
shoot.

Tennis NOT A GAME
FOR MOlLYCODDLES
SPORT WRITER FRANK MENKE
SAYS TENNIS REQUIRES MORE
SKILL AND ENERGY THAN
BASEBALL.

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-Tennis calls
for the best there is in a person: for
the utmost in mental effort and the
utmost physical.
The greatest injustice that ever has
been done TO tennis is to refer TO it
as a mollycoddle's" game. Il is a
strenuous game-a game that weak
lings cannot play. 1t calls for more
|exertion and more skill than do base
ball and even football. No one can
play tennis who isn't in extremely
good physical condition, because the
strain Of the game viii wear down
quickly all those who are not phys.
ically fit
If you can play tennis yourself you

you don't play, it might be worth

with the exclusive country clubs. But
times have changed.
Millions Play Tennis.
The are millions of tennis PLAYERS
in the United States today where
there were only thousands a few years
ago. The municipal authorities in the
various cities found that tennis was a
real game-and a beneficial one. So
they installed courts in their public
parks Persons in many cities who
owned vacant lots recognized the
gradually increasing popularity of
tennis and have built courts on these
lots
For those who are able to plav the
game there is no athletic contest that
furnishes more mental or physical
exercise. The constant chasing after
the ball from one side TO the other

ton and it hardens practically every
muscle in the body. Those who play
tennis consistently, rarely know a sick
day. merely because tennis is the best
conditioner known.
And tennis develops the brain as
much as it develops the body. A slow
thinker never becomes a good ten
mis- player. but the wits of a slow
thinker always are sharpened a bit

Tennis Real Game.
Tennis requires its devotees to be

send it sailing over the net, after a
hard chase on your part TO meet il
before it bounds out OF your reach.
DO you then get a chance 10 resi-?
No, none at all, because a second
after you hit the ball your opponent
has driven il back ar you. Sometimes
it is headed straight at you. but oft
ener it IS as far away from Won as
your foe can land it. That's the game
to place the ball where the other
fellow can't hit it.
The net game really is a game for
