The war and the weather are so ab-
sorbihg of time and interest that it
is hard to confine ourselves to gath
ering home news items of local im
portance. The fear of the stern and
cruel necessities of war is over most
parents, sons and all in life's rela
tions. The fire of patriotism must
burn bright indeed to drive away
gloomy forebodings. Most young men
of Logan come under the food raising
brigade and for that and other rea
sons may not be molested at present
andwe hope the god of war will de,
cide the case without further activ
ity on their part. May, the bright
est hopes for future world welfare
of those who forced the war be real
ized to the extent of overbalancing
the cost.
The April meeting of Harding
grange was a littlue short in attend

by the resolution passed. Degrees
were conferred on a class of five.
There was the usual select readings
and songs, including "America," and
W. H. Brown gave two selections on
the accordion with his usual vim.
The farmers are anxious to get
started on our part of the patri
otic job of raising a big fall crop, but
Earnest and Sincere
people are thinking every day how
best to improve their financial condi
tion. One of the functions of a well
established bank is to aid in such
matters of import. You can consult
the officers of this bank about any
affairs of yours appertaining to
finance. Such information will be
gratuitous and willingly given.

Quite a little political pleasure
crops out now and then. The other
day a young man, a democrat, was
talking to an old veteran, a republi
can. The young man said that when
we go to war they will put republi
cans in the front. The old gentle
man smilingly replied: "Good judg
ment, young man, good judgment.
You know where to put the fighters."
We are glad to see the bars let down
in politics and that democrats and
republicans stand shoulder to shoul
der for President Wilson. There will
always be diversity of opinion in pol
itics as well as in the church, but
when we all work for the good ot
mankind there will be no harm done.
Our jitney service is all right, thanks
to the P. R. L. & P. Co. It is always
on time and the courteous treatment
extended patrons by E. D. Van Auken
and son as drivers is appreciated by
the public.

not get them. One of R. Tracy's
hounds took a coyote over toward Ell-
wood and has not been found yet.
Sunday about 18 boys and seven dogs
were out, but had no luck, as the
weather was too stormy for trailing.
There have been 19 coyotes shot
and trapped since last fall in the near
vicinity, and at least three more are
at large. Two were seen near

In thinking over the matter of road
