In the early winter of 1894 General
Pichegru became convinced of the
tutlity Of his campaign against Hol-
land. which the Dutch burghers had
flooded. he was about TO retire when
he received a message from his al
Iutant general, Juatremer dIssonval,
famous naturalist, who was a prs-
oner OF the Netherlands at Utrecht,
informing him that the spiders had
predicted s. severe frost within ten
days Pichegru waited; the frost came
and turned the Goods to ice; the
French army marched across 1t and
captured Amsterdam. The soldier who
had made friends with the spiders in
his cell at Utrecht and had interpreted
their behavior was rescued and borne
back to Paris In triumph.

In an address before the National
Birth Rate commission, In London, Sir
Rider discussed the aspects Of birth
control as applicable TO Britain and
her dependencies, but held out a warn

''within the next two centuries the do

as that of Rome ceased, before a new

Race suicide in the western c0un

WHAT is THE ANSWER?

Ask the farmer you meet on the streets
of Logan why he doesn't come to town Of
tener these days and well venture that
the majority of them will answer "The
roads are too bad" Ask several of them
the first real muddy day what part Of
the county they live in, and you'll find
that the greatest number of them are
from along the best roads.
1t does look as though we would some
day wake up to the fact that we can't get
business if we don't have roads fit for
customers to get to town. And it would
also appear that the farmers who still
persist in living on poor roads would re-
member that theNccuid'pile up a little
more money if hauling over bad roads
didn't cost much more than it does over
good roads. Right now nine out of every
ten are declaring when they strike a bad
stretch of road that it shall have atten-
ton as son as the weather moderates
and spring starts in. And Just as many
are too busy with something else when
that time comes to give the road attention
We can't stay in rut always If we
expect to compete with other towns we
have got to provide serviceable highways
the kind that can be travelled by man,
beast or motor 365 days in the year. The
mail order house is going to get the bust
ness our merchants are entitled to so
long as the roads are too bad for the far
mer to get to the store. For be it remem-
bered that the parcels post serves him.
good roads or bad.
Let's resolve right here and now that
this will mark the end Of pledges we new
err keep. Let's get together and talk this
thing over and then keep on talking until
the weather gets so actual work can be
done. Let's not stand around in the mud
and see other towns living in comfort and
growing better financially every year. 1t
takes but one time to start getting that
which we have long been promising our
selves---a decent system of roads over the
entire county. These columns are open
for suggestions along this linewhat
have you to say?

DON'T GET EXCITED

We trust Logan citizens will not allow
themselves to believe reports being print
ed in some daily papers to the effect that
anarchy is on tbs increae in this country
as a result Of this nations deportation of
few of them to Russia. For there is
nothing to fear. In fact, if history is cor
rect, this plan will have a good effect.An
enc need to do is to remember the Hay
maret riot in Chicago and the hanging of
several anarchists mixed up in the crime.
The anarchists of Chicago had strong
organization, and even printed their own
newspaper. Then came the throwing of
bomb that killed several policemen. and
the arrest and conviction of the GRIMM
ais. The governor was urged to reprive
those sentenced to death on the ground
that their hanging would invoke still
greater outbreaks. But he refused and
the hangings took place There were
no further outbreaks, and anarchy made
no Roadway after that. Threats did not
niaterialize and Chicago became tanner
instead of wilder.
DepOrting anarchists to Russia is 60
ing to serve as a lasting lesson. The no.
tice to the world that we can and will
send out of this country those who try to
overthrow government will be needed by
many. There will be no reaction against
the carrying out of the plans to deport all
who seek to bring about revolution in
this country.
So let the good work 90 right ahead
and give it your sanction.
