A fragmented note from The Anafonda Standard reflects on how anti slavery sentiment in Great Britain and France discouraged foreign support for the South. It argues slavery has been suppressed in Christian lands while pointing to Islamic texts as historically permitting slave acquisition. The piece asserts that global opinion is moving toward abolition.
On the third Wednesday of August residents of Butte and Anaconda shut shops and take to fishing and recreation. The holiday, born from a business community accord, grows each year as a genuine local festival of pleasure over work. The Standard hopes it brings relaxation and happiness to all participants.
A League of Nations report urges abolition of slavery worldwide, noting persistence in Muslim regions and the Arabian peninsula. It argues each slave should be freed without compensation, and frames legal slavery as a stain on modern civilization. The piece reflects on Lincoln’s 1863 emancipation as a wartime strategy, reshaping party politics and shifting northern support.
A quarrel erupts between the department of labor and Immigration Commissioner Curran over the British and Irish entry ruling. Curran opposes direct landings after consular inspection, arguing it risks inadequate medical scrutiny and turns Ellis Island into a detention center. The dispute seems headed to the president as Curran may resign rather than abandon his stance.
A joint commission settlement between the United States and Belgium funds war debt, aided by President Coolidge's diplomacy. The accord avoids harsh terms, preserves Franco-Belgian friendship, and aligns other debtor nations with orderly obligations to the United States. The piece notes ironic comments on Arctic lands and various domestic issues.
A narrative moral about ugliness and selfishness told through a sparrow family. An orphan cowbird, larger and greedy, pushes fledglings from the nest, but ultimately loses the best food and nest control as Chippy and Mrs Chippy care for their own chicks.
A mixed tale recounts sparrows saved by Farmer Brown's Boy and a nest set in a hay heap while Chippy and Mrs. Chippy feed the four fallen nestlings. Berlin reports on Oto Lest, a condemned man who rejects commutation and demands execution, then a bathrobe fire incident at 1937 Florida Street.
Former British Labour MP Arthur Henderson argues against secret treaties and for open diplomacy as essential to modern politics. He notes public indifference amid social distress, warns open treaties must prove secure and just, and stresses treaties evolve with time and conflict.
A clipped anecdote recalls W J Bryan explaining a lecture delay due to a washout. He finds only 18 or 20 people in the waiting room and quips to a neighbor that the visiting doctor must be costly. The doctor, Cohensky, mutters a terse reply about charges as the tale ends.
A jumbled listing of across and down crossword clues and partial entries. The fragmentary text names many hinted items including nations, cities, bodies, and common nouns, with several garbled words and OCR errors.
This poem recalls a boatman ferrying souls across a mystic river to heavenly shores. A narrator envisions angels, gleaming sails, and ripples of childhood memory as loved ones cross, leaving only yearning and faith that they watch from the unseen shore.
REP A P ANDREW outlines a new peace plan proposing international commissions to study lanes and report to all nations. He has ties to Princeton and Harvard, studied in Paris, and served as assistant professor of economics at Harvard before joining Congress in 1921. He received the Croix de Guerre in 1917 and was made Chevalier de la Legion d Honneur.
