League of Nations necessary for world peace, says editor
Revelations at the Peace Conference showed a central international government is needed to secure lasting peace. Secret treaties tied nations in perfidy, trading territories and risking lives for power. The U S and Allied statesmen argued for justice, self determination, and disarmament, but the final pact failed to satisfy all and left wary nations.

Blackberries scarce and sugar high prompt publishers to form a paper supply cooperative to secure newsprint. A county-wide push urges wood pulp supply and fly control, with agricultural notes on hog cholera prevention and increases in crop production headed by S V Burks.
