Productivity and the Little Red Hen
A humorous verse by Premier Q. Barrett reimagines the nursery tale with a worker Hen who enlists barnyard neighbors to plant, reap, and bake wheat into five loaves. The cow duck and pig refuse to help, citing welfare, union, or discrimination, until the Hen finally keeps all five loaves.

Capitalist Pig and Equal Rights In Small Town Tale
The column parodies political slogans with Premier Q. Barrett and a Red Hen fable, contrasting free enterprise with welfare imagery. It shifts to a series of local anecdotes: feuding dogs, a horse killed by a shot, loaned money and revenge, road work humor, and a barroom scuffle ending with a disrupted skirt and spilled beer. The tone is satirical and personal, with social commentary woven through quirky vignettes.
Fight and mischief in the district report
Smoke Signals from Moberly Lake recounts two families settling a shifting feud with a weekend battle that ended in a draw amid injuries and scattered spectators. The column also notes local wagers, odd notes, hospital stays, and a writer’s travel plans with columnists in Ontario and Ralph Parker substituting in the absence.
