Journey home from opixteeh tour ends with praise and drought relief view
A Baptist Church note recounts returning from a long tour amid windy storms and a 33 mile mud run. It praises the Colorado high plains now cultivated after six years of drought, observes vast grain stacks, rural free delivery, telephones, a graded state road, and a $25 000 public school in a Cheyenne rail town. The writer, Frank Edmond Volck, invites Akron friends to church next Sunday and preaches Christ.

That Boy of Dr. Kerr's
Shortie from Bladden, Iowa recounts a July or August 1916 birth at Dr. J. H. Kerr's Akron home. The playful brotherly note from Dr. T. J. Kerr of North Platte mocks the imagined flaws of a baby, then contrasts a hoped for sturdy son with humorous exaggerations about growth, teeth, and toilet manners, ending with a tease about the infant’s size.
