Show I Tho Box Elder News had turkoy for Thanksgiving. Don't you think sonic of our Public men in Public positions lack a littlo Pubjlic spirt! For oxamplo:--Most every town in the state celebrates Thanksgiving, Thanksgiv-ing, Decorntiou Day and other holidays by having a program at the meeting housos or places of worship. Garlaud has never had any kind of public doings on oithor of tho days montioned above. Thanksgiving exercises, Decoration Day exercises, etc., acorns to "ye editor" to bo very appropriate and we hope to see the time whon Garland will make a move in this worthy direction. Ono day tho office boy went to the editor of tho Soaring Eagle and said: "Thoro's a tramp at the door and ho says ho has had nothing to eat for six days." "Fetch him in," said tho editor. "If wo can find out how ho does it, we can run this paper for another week." Ex. Ono of our subscribers sent us a check the other day in pay-mont pay-mont for tho Globo and tho following noto accompanied tho chock: "Keep it coming, it's a necessary evil." Thanksgiving day passed off vory quitely in Garlahd. "At . homo" turkoy dinners wore the chiof attractions and a grand ball was given at tho hall in the evening. B If it don't quit raining soon, Hoods in tho Bear River Valley will bo as common as earth- B; quakes.

Why not have some kind B . of an annual day a "Sugar H' Day," a "Beet Day" or a B "Gravel Day" any kind of a B The Globe acknowledges with BJ ' thanks, tho receipt of a hand- K some 1910 calender from tho publishers of tho Youth's Com-Hj: Com-Hj: - anioju ItuaLJimitiCuJnJU endor printed in thirteeu-color Bu lithography. a The tor ri bio disaster that occurred in the coal mines of Cherry, 111., in which moro than 3 0 0 unfortunate coal minors woro entombed for a week or' moro, was ono of tho worst horrors in tho history of tho country and is an impressive essonof the dangerous calling of the coal miner. Day by day, since tho disaster, the rescuing party has brought to the surface sur-face the dead and dying. Some of tho rescued were so soveroly burned that 'their faces and bodies presented an apalling sight. The scones around tho mine have been heart-honder-iug. Women crying for lost husbands, children weeping for fathers, accompanied by an occasional scene of rejoicing when a f o w o f tho suuposed dead were brought up alive. Think of the sufforiug those minors endured in that red-hot oven and picture tho scenes of distrsss aud sorrow this horrible calamity brought to mothers' and children of that locality. Wo voice tho sentiments of tho Ogdon Standard in the following follow-ing noto: "The men who accept tho risk of digging coal in the depths of tho earth should bo givon some assurance that, if disaster overtakes them, those dependent depen-dent on them will bo cared Tor." The easiest aud the only way to kill the mail-order business is to fight it with bettor goods and cheaper prices. It is the general opinion that this cannot can-not bo done, but we have recently re-cently read of a merchant in tho north who invited the ladies of tho town to bring in tho goods they had brought by mail aud to compare them with his merchandise for price and qual ity. The women were surprised to see how much better goods tho home merchant could have furnished them for tho same money, or even less, express changes considered. We wish somo of tho Logan merchants would do the same. They know that they can got the better of such competition if they only have a chance. Tho mail-order idea is so deeply rooted in tho brains of many people that nothing but an object lesson will ever convinco them that they can do as woll at home as in the larger cities. As for those who want tho New York or Chicago label, regardless of cost or quality, they are hopoles. It will take more than an object lesson to make them save their mouey and help tho home merchants. mer-chants. Logan Republican. |
