A writer notes a friend in Indiana offered a million dollars for a newspaper property in a third city.

Orchard praising self-satisfaction from accomplishment and the lure of being part of a productive cohort.
The article criticizes Chicago police and loop traffic officers for wearing heavy coats in heat. It argues coatless dress boosts comfort, dignity, and efficiency, condemning rigid enforcement while musing on possible future dress reform and the social pressures shaping uniforms.

The Amana society, a centralized communistic community in Norhh South Amana and Homestead, faces youth exodus and pressure from modern progress.

O O McIntyre notes a drift in the city’s vibe with Talluish and Bankhead less flapperish, cabaret signs and edgy street scenes.

A fragmented reminiscence follows Jett Mathagier and artist Ralph Barton in postwar Paris Parisian rooms and a jet black bedroom. Barton’s insomnia drives a swing toward return to America and a French domestic life. Notables at his Nicolet home mingle with a Broadway chorus girl note and a mix of literary figures and celebrities in a portrait of volatile fame.
The readable text shows a frustrated mutter about having had occasion to speak, with a snapping aside about plenty of “thes.” The fragment hints at impatience and repetition without a clear event, person, or location to anchor a broader story.
A humorous poem portrays a spendthrift who gives to others yet squanders money, pop culture slang and misspellings coloring a portrait of generosity misfired. The speaker notes mixed admiration and pity as townsfolk tease his habits while appreciating his jaunty, debonair manner.
