The teachers and pupils of the Lower Logan school gave a shadow social and entertainment last week, which was very successful in a- social way and fairly so in a financial way. The teachers and pupils of the North Logan gave a basket social and entertainment which must have been planned when the sign was right on the planets in proper conjunction, as it went over the financial top with basket receipts of $82, and something beside for refreshments sold. The house was full and also a good part of the surrounding country so that many had to get their view and bas kets through the door and windows. Two baskets were sold for $13.50 each, which seems to be high water mark in the high cost of living and the bidders must each have had a bunch of hogs which they expect to sell soon.

The country has subscribed her half of the $250,000 for the building of a Livestock pavillion at the Union stock yards, while to date the city's portion is quite deficient. How they do bleed country aristocracy. ' Henry Scheer, while splitting kind ling a day last week, severed the thumb of his left hand, requiring sur gical attention. Mrs. Lester Montgomery is still confined to her room. Her many friends are solicitous for her early recovery. .

The five million bond issue to be voted on in June has been very cleverly arranged by the jungoiRts. Read carefully their designs. The only really good cat is a dead one. Don't let this bond camouflage de ceive you. If a common carrier meets with an accident and kills a half dozen people, the entire country criticises and com missions are called into action, but New York state alone, with one hun dred and ninety-two fatalities through motor troubles charged up' against her, causes not a ripple of excite ment. Miss Florence Bently recently cut her hand very badly, requiring sev eral stitches at the hands of a doc tor. Twilight was quite liberally repre sented at the Mount Pleasant public school entertainment last Thursday. Miss Pearl Scheer shopped in Port land a day last week. (Continued on Page 4) I ATTENTION!
