Moral tale warns of risk in borrowing neighbor papers
A yarn notes a stingy man who has his boy borrow a newspaper from a neighbor. A chaotic sequence follows, including damaged clothing, a torn pair of pants, a ruined carpet, and a ruined curry of cream, ending with a moral about not borrowing the neighbor's paper. The piece also cites Iowa divorce statistics for July to October and reports excavations at a Locust Street corner lot for a new home to be built by Mr. and Mrs. John Birk.
