On Saturday August 17 1916 speakers urged voters to judge public officials by past wartime votes. They argued entrance into the war was a sacred duty and that voting against it was indefensible. The speakers warned that a wrong vote on war measures foretells future errors and urged voters to withhold support from incumbents who opposed the war.
A call to loyal citizens behind the lines to attend primaries and nominate men of character and standing. The piece urges voters to honor fallen soldiers by creating a ticket the community can be proud of and to vote for the best public officers.
The piece explains why Liberty bonds often trade below par during war and rise again after peace returns. It argues government bonds are the best security, encourages buying in wartime, and notes profits come from holding until postwar price recovery while those who sell early incur losses.
A fragmented, noisy survey of wartime finance and public sentiment notes Britain’s bond fluctuations through Napoleonic, Crimean, and Civil War periods, then shifts to American casualties and nature’s rhetoric. The piece laments liberty bond declines, praises postwar recovery, and rails at German and Russian actions while invoking patriotism and political debates.
Americans in Paris describe French food management as strictly hand to mouth. Avoid large stockpiles due to shortages while rationing and storage limits push careful buying.

A New Zealand detachment now in New York is photographed attracting attention on Fifth Avenue. Many wear khaki uniforms with shorts or sand shorts instead of full trousers, reflecting a Scots and Boy Scout style influence. Officers from various branches also don shorts.
A collage of jovial jabs and local quips from a Midwest paper. It mixes satirical notices about public figures, household requests, and a UNWAR commentary with brief asides on France Britain and the United States. The piece preserves a lively small town tone amid global conflict chatter.
