President Kelley orders immediate restart of Anaconda properties with coal from own mines or other sources to avert fuel famine. The move aims to relieve private consumers, protect public welfare, and prevent further economic collapse while Palmer argues for controlled strikes in critical services.
The piece praises Chicago as the premier host city with hotels, auditoriums, baseball clubs, rail access, and celebratory spirit. It notes Chicago’s capacity for an ample convention, including bars if the eighteenth amendment is bypassed, and mentions Mayor Thompson’s historic stance against prohibition.
A reflective column compares December 10 1919 to November 11 1918, noting relief from severe winter conditions and coal miners dispute tensions. It describes doubts over Wilson and Garfield plans, the risk to national industry, and hints at political maneuvering around Palmer proposals and a possible regency involving Mrs Wilson and Rear Admiral Grayson.
The Red Cross war on tuberculosis enters its twelfth year with a goal of raising 6.5 million dollars this year from stamp sales. Donations exceed stamps, but stamps remain central to private campaigns in Montana and across states. The effort stresses early detection, treatment cost savings, and a potential national medical examination day, noting past mortality reductions and scientific progress against TB.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat notes U S gold production fell from 92 million dollars in 1916 to 68 million last year due to higher mining costs and low-grade ore. Despite rich ore, fewer workers remain as wages fail to cover costs. To sustain output, miners urge Congress to raise the mint price per ounce, arguing for more dollars per ounce or higher currency value to combat rising production costs.
A 1919 verse profile celebrates Nancy Astor as the Hall of Fame figure who outwitted hecklers and proved herself a masterful leader. The piece contrasts her with critics and notes her achievements in political prominence. In London, British nurses form a trade union pledging strikes against employers while protecting patients.
A string of quotations from multiple papers notes Prohibition trends and political commentary. The Salton sea is described as arying toward harmony with the eighteenth amendment, while other lines discuss music, poetry, and political campaigns. The item ends with a London dispatch noting repatriation and exemptions for civilian aliens after the armistice.
A collage of light hearted snippets and verses from the era. Jokes about knitting false hair and pantry cakes appear alongside short limericks and dialect quips. The pieces capture everyday humor and social quirks in brief, witty lines.
Miss Mary Vail Andrees is the sole woman awarded the American Distinguished Service Medal for war work. She is a pioneer among welfare workers who sailed November 22 for duties aiding refugees in Western Asia. The practice workers are veterans of the War who previously did welfare in France.
A fragmentary piece argues that a home should be happy and affectionate and questions if a husband grumbles at his wife, criticizes her, or treats her poorly.

The text cites wifely virtues and household duties while criticizing controlling, unkind conduct.
