The notice lists mail and carrier delivery options for Cedar Rapids and Marion. It shows yearly and short-term prepaid prices, and mentions full leased wire AP and UP international news services. It notes the paper’s republication rights and exclusive AP dispatch use.
The piece analyzes the mass debate over whether the Iowa Senate race will hinge on liquor policy or broader economic issues. It weighs Louis Murphy’s wet stance against Henry Field’s dry position, notes independent bids, and predicts the campaign will center on economic recovery and public sentiment toward the status quo rather than a single issue.
The piece critiques insurgent and reformist currents in the United States, noting waning support for bolters and rising resistance to insurgency. It cites Iowa Senator Smith W. Brookhart, Wisconsin Republican reluctance toward radicals, and Alabama’s election law mandating party allegiance tests, amid a 1932 Republican platform denouncing insurgency.
The text argues that party disintegration undermines the republic and stresses that strong willed legislators require party solidarity to govern. It compares effective government to teamwork in football, stating a Congress cannot function if members insist on carrying the ball alone.
A satirical column lampoons federal aid for grasshopper plagues and proposes a strange cure from Cornell: crowding makes grasshoppers vicious, isolating individuals could restore calm, and voters would return to the straight Republican ticket while Congress is ignored. The piece mocks prohibition, politics, and consumer goods as it roasts current events.
The 1932 Republican platform endorses a six hour day and five day week for government and private work as conditions allow, aligning with Hoover’s push for economy in government payrolls. Democratic leaders and figures push similar ideas, while Congress debates wage cuts versus furlough plans.
A rapid collage recalls thoughts on the subconscious guiding problem solving, habit in printers, and daily life. It contrasts instincts with conscious will, notes cultural quips about wealth and politics, and ends with a fragmented reflection on Garbo and press moments.
Estate notice from Iowa states the appointment of an executrix for a given estate number in a county. The brief announces an official act of probate pending in the state, noting the executor’s designation and the authority overseeing the estate settlement.
New York writer notes Fanny Ward as a vivacious Broadway presence in midcareer years, seen aging minimally with a rumored 60 odd years but appearing to be a perpetual “40.” She radiates elan, attends parties to finish, smokes and drinks moderately, and remains a constant figure in vaudeville’s appeal.
A collage of late 1920s to early 1930s New York life includes a gossiping flapper duo led by Jack Dean and his wife, a bustling tucked away restaurant The Brewery, a Long Island retrenchment with a 15 servant history, tips on dog shop sales via home trial, a bar fight scene, Central Park dusk sighting of a nude child near a tenement, Clara Walsh’s Sealyham Skippy, and a clipping note about social snubs and a copyright date of 1932.
