Show COUNTRY JAKE'S COMPLAINT It Is said that music Is tho universal univer-sal lnngungo or mankind. Ot courso, this docs not signify that everybody can speak It, but that all aro more or less moved by It Henri, being ono of tho latter, tho series of concerts which wero held In Logon on the ,13th 14th nnd 15th ot this month woro look cd forward to with Intort&t'.' It was thought that a musical treat was In storo for thoso who would attend. But, being a country jako and having hav-ing a lot of chores to do as nearly a'l country Jakes havo, I 'was unable to attend tho concerts of tho 13th nnd 15th which was owing to tho tlmo of day they woro held. For obvious reasons a tlmo of day moro Inopportune than 3:30 p.m. and 9:30 a. m. would hardly bo thought of so far as wo of tho country coun-try nro concerned. To bo suro, If tho tlmo was set for tho convenlcnco of tho peoplo ot Logan only, then It was Just right, perhaps. But If managers man-agers ot theaters, concerts nnd tho like want our patronogo nnd would havo our thanks thoy should make It convenient for us to attend too. Tho tlmo 8 p. m. on tho 14th was Just right If tho concort, as announced announc-ed had started at that tlmo, which It j did not. Tho car from tho south on wlch wos myself nnd a number of other music lovors, nrrivor In tlmo. Hurrying over to tho Tabornaclo, for fear of being lato, wo woro glad to llud that tho concort had not yet started, thougn It was a llttlo past 8 o'clock. Tho musicians, tho choir and tho uudlonco woro thero and only a fow camo after that. Novortholess, It wns about half past eight before the concort began. This hnlf hour delay was tho cause of many losing tho last two numbors of tho program which, Judging from tho swoetness of tho preceding numbers was nlmost too oxqulslto to loso. But In ordor to entrain nnd thus Bet homo In decent tlmo, both thoso of tho north and of tho south withdrew nt ton o'clock. Not only to got homo In decent tlmo but to avoid, had thoy stayed, tho concert out, a long dlsagroenblo wait beforo tho departuro ot tho noxt cars. As noted In a foregoing paragraph If tho managers of theaters, concorts and tho llko In Logan, want tho pat-ronago pat-ronago and would havo tho thanks of tho peoplo of tho outlying districts they should set tho tlmo for thoso shows when It Is not only posslhlo but convenient for tho peoplo thore-of thore-of to attend without losing fart of tho show or bo compelled to stay up until tho small hours of tho noxt morning.
