That was in the old days of thrift, not

HURON LOGANS,
DEAF AND DUMB,
OF IRISH STOCK.
Last of Noted Grey Town-
ship Family Died Recent-
ly At Seaforth.
(By Martha mi1Iie in the London
(Free Press.)
Maggie Logan, the last of the
dummy Logans, died at eSeaforth a
short time ago, When I first knew
the Logans they lived in a tumble-
down log shanty on the 16th eonces-
sion of Grey Township, Huron Coun-
ty, about three miles east of the
Brus,sels-Seaforth highway. -
'There were four of the Logans:
Maggie, Quentin, Jimmy and David.
Jimmy was always a deaf mube, but
Maggie • and Quentin could speak and
hear till they took a fever which left
them deaf and dumb. Before they
took the fever they attended school
for five,or six years a,.d Maggie was
a eright pupil. David was the only
one of the four who was normal.
Their parents came from County
Connor, Ireland, between 75 and 80
years ago, and took up 200 acres' of
land on .the 16th concession of Grey
Township, Hturon County.
But after the parents died, Black
David (the name given him by the
neighbors) made ducks and drakes 'of
the property, and, vanished from ,the
neighborhoed. All that was left to the
other three was the log shack and, a
few acres of land covered with scrub
maple. The Logan creek, which runs
past the end of the shack was made
use of to wash sheep before shear-
ing
Sheep Washing.
.Since the days when Huron County
was first settled many a frightened
dirty sheep has been given a good
scrubbing in the Logan creek. When
a farmer wanted a hand at the
threshing he went to the Logan place
,in the early morning, stuck a pole
through a chink in the wall and
poked the men awake. To a certain
extent people could communicate
with them by means of the sign lan-
guage. Among themselves the Logan's
were experts in the use of it. Once
a pack peddler essayed to spend the
night with them. During the evening
Quentin undertook to tell Jimmy
about a murder that had been'com-
mitted. When he drew his finger
across his throat to make the mean-
ing sink home the peddler reached
for his hat and went out" hurriedly.
He thought they were devising a plan
to do away with him.
Quentin was handy with tools and
spent his spare timeemaking tubs
and crude articles for household use.
There were only two chairs and a
stool in their house, and when a
neighbor came in it was always
Jimmy who gave up his chair. He
was frien,dly, but Quentin was re-
served.
Neighbors Good.
The neighbors were goad to them.
Petatoes and such things were cheap
then and more of them were planted
before meters had come to -lure farm
people from their work. le a pig were
killed or a sheep, a piece went to the
Logams. Many a pail of potatoes and(
chunk of meat the neighbors' Chil-
dren carried to the old log shack.
They were grateful and thought
highly of the friendly people, but
they had an especial love for Nelson
/3ricker.
They were in the Clinton House of
Refuge fer a tim,e, but when they
heard that Nelson Bricker had sold
out and had gone from the old place
the wanderlust came upon the Lo -
game. They escaped from the house
of bondage and followed on foot. Mr.
Bricker secured for them an old
house near -to his own. Their new
home was in'the vicinity of Gorrie.
They were happy. They had longed
for the old life and the known faces.
They liked the country with ite
friendliness and its open hand. In
time Quentin and Jimmy died, then
an old neighbor who lived in Sea-
f,-
forth took Maggiaeine ,

Hospital at Seaforth, where she had
been taken ebout a week; previously',
suffering from a every severe 'attack
of high blood pressure coupled with
other ailments, and which developed
at the last into pneumonia. Mrs. Cud -
more had reached the three score and
ten years and until very recently
looked so well, enjoying teed health
for her age and past active life, as
she was all through her life wonder-
fully active and a good 'manager both
in the home and in the way of asaist-
ing her late huband, who predeceas-
ed her ,bout .four years ago in his
business as a •building contractor,•and

Power Possible
Complete reversal of the present
concept of engine design will give
the 12 -cylinder automobile of to -mor-
row the power of to -day's 16, accord-
ing to a report of experiment's con-
ducted in the engineering laboratory
of a large gasoline corporation. ,
The 33 per cent. inerease in power
will be produced:by improvement in
what is now regarded as a necessary.
evil—the cooling system.
Tests m,ade to learn the value of
greater cooling capacity than is built
into present cars," the report states,
"have shown that increases, in power
(heretofore expected from larger en-
gines can be more efficiently realized
from changes in design to provide
better cooling of cylinders and engine
pal:These tests have shown that as
much as a third more power can be
gotten under test conditions from
modern high compression engine by
merely improving its cooling system.

Uncle Tom's Cabin in Rus-
sia is Scarcely Recognizable
Soviet children are permitted to
sniffle over the woes of 'Uncle Tom.
But they may not accompany Lit-
tle Eva to heaven.
This is to announce that Mrs.
Stowe's, "Uncle Tomes Cebin" holds
some message in furtherance of Sov-
iet doctrine, but it sufNrs sea -change
in its transition to Russia. •
Produced hy the Moscow Second
Art Theatre, it contains interesting
heresies from the American stancle
point, and these are revealed by the
New York •Hlerald Tribune.
"To start with, for some reason
Little Dye's name is changed to Dora
and she is depicted as quite a differ-
ent girl from the frail, spiritual be-
ing American children have come to
know:
"Far from being delicate, she is
kale and almost -tomboyish on the
Soviet stage. Her conversations with
her father and Uncle Tom about God
and religion are all eliminated here,
for Soviet children must not be ex
posed 'to anything which might serve
to stimulate their interests in re-
ligious things.
One gains the impression that -the
Soviet producers desire to .present
Eva, or Dora, as, something of an
American forerunner to a vigorous
present-day Komsomol (Young Coin-
inunist) 'championing the cause of
the downtrodden proletariat negro.
"Looking back over a period, of.
wort than twenty years to a read -
show matinee 'in an Oregon town,
this correspOndere finds that the epi-
sodes which stand out most `vividly
are the death of Little Eva, the flog-
ging and death of Uncle Tom, the re -
cc ration of Uncle T6m's soul into
heaven by Eva, and the escape of
Eliza and her child across the ioe.
"The anti -religious campaign here
raults in the elimination of several
at these highlights.
"Thus Little Eya, or Dora, fails to
clic dieing" the period of tlae play,
and, 01 course there is no suggestion
at the death of Uncle Tom either
t( -at he has a soul to go to heaven or
either that there is a heaven where
Love Eva—if she were dead ---might
be waiting for it.,
"A tart from the changes eonsidr-
ri for political reasons,
thf, Soviet version involves a member
of omovations disappointing to "the
.\J('ric-an brought up in the tradition
of tile melodramatic road show.
"Fancy, for example, an 'Un.ele
Trim s Cabin' iri which you were de-
prived of the privilege of seeing
Eliza cross the ice! Apparently less
courageous than their American con --
temporaries. the Russian producers
leave the difficult river cressiii scene
to the imagination of the audience:
"Soviet children are permitted to
hear the rush of the waters in the
ice -filled Ohio river and to see Eliza
jump with her child from thp tavern
window—Mrs. Stowe. specifies a Ma
door—when Haley arrives with the,
hounds, but they are denied the great
thrill of *etching her make her per-
i1os way across the ice -cakes.
And the Soviet heresy extends ev-
en further. Here Topsy is deseribed
as Eliza's daughter; and it is with
Topsy and not with Iter beloved little
Harry that the quadroon flees be-
fore the slaye-trader. Little Eva,
having continued to live, is in posi-
tion to call at Legree's plaintation in
quest of Uncle Tom Thus, it is she
instead of George who is on hand
when the dead slave is brought in."
