What does Logan need to inako of It ouo of tho most talked of and generally gen-erally admired cities In western America? Amer-ica? Not natural environment, for thnt Is superb! Not resources, for It has them In abundance! Not money, for Its per capita wealth Is far greater than that of many other cities. No, It needs Just a little moro Interest on tho part of Its people In matters ot civic Improvement. It needs O, how It needs, n little moro civic pride upon tho part of Its citizens.
