One of the best movements
ever started by the Logan County
News and taken up by our busi-
ness men and farmers, was be-
gun on Monday last when a large
number of our farmer friends
assisted bv some of the town
people began the work of fixing
up the sandy roads that leads to
Crescent.
The first road to be taken up
was the one east of town that
leads up onto the prairie and
which since being fixed up has
placed it in excellent shape,
another road to receive consider-
ation is the road leading north
on the way north of Orescent on
the old Walt Fleming road.
The work that is being pushed
this week is bearing results, as
the roads are being heavily clay-
ed and will last for years to
come, as ft has already been
demonstrated that clay is the
proper thing for sandy roads.
The Ways and Means Com-
mitte composed of Messers,
Virgil Rout, James Homan. Chas
Oliver, H V. Smith, Fid. Sto-
baugli, and H. A Adams have
the work well in hand and are
seeing that everything is run-
ning along smoothly, also

E Luck and John Hopkins and
the work in
News will
give the names of every donator
of work and -ash on the roads,
which work has been done as
soon as completed, for any one
that is loyal enough to help the
good movement out is deserving
lots of praise. For the bent-fit
of our Farmer friends on the
south we are going to get some
work done down there just as
soon as the work already started
is completed.
Next week the mile of road
just west of town will rective
attention, and from there some
of the roads south of town will
betaken up, in fact there is not
going to be any let up until the
bad places on all roads are fixed
up, so if you have not already
joined the Good Roads Booster
you had better get ready or take
to the tall timber for the road
aggitators are certainly going to
get you if you don't watch out.
Mr. Farmer don't fail to give a
