Griswold School Rule in Grist for Kirkpatrick Case
State Superintendent Sabin ruled the Griswold school board acted properly in firing G S Kirkpatrick and hiring Moyer to finish the term. He held the principal must follow board directions, and funds from commencements or private use belonged to the district. The decision affirms the board’s control of graduating exercises and the duties of teachers beyond a four hour day.

The Motherhood and Prohibition Debate in San Francisco
A rural paragraph heavy with political contention cites reactions to woman suffrage and Prohibition. Clergy mourn losses while reformers warn liquor interests and mothers will defend prohibition. The piece notes upcoming convention dates, speakers, and a medical ad section, including Laxative Bromo Quinine and Foley's Kidney Cure, plus Hamburg dog taxation as a local nuisance measure.
It Hite the Spot and the War Memories
A cluttered advertisement style piece mentions Foley's Honey and Tar for sore throats and lungs, praised by Vic Emmert & Co. It recalls a volunteer corps moment about arming, then shifts to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve for skin and related injuries and a generic note on healing. The text blends product pitches with a wartime anecdote and a cautionary closing.
