The Corona Independent in Corona California notes its postoffice status and that the paper is a second class writer. Subscriptions cost 2 dollars per year 1 dollar for six months and 50 cents for three months with payment in advance.
The writer jokes that heroes have weak points, citing Achilles and a modern visit of Togo to imply a chef’s stomach could affect outcomes. A fanciful aside suggests Napoleon lost at Leipzig due to dinner troubles, imagining how meals shape history.
The writer argues that many rich heirs reveal their wasteful nature when separated from wealth. If millionaires were forced to earn their living, it might produce some decent individuals.
The Santa Ana Register reports the city is moving toward an early election to appoint fifteen freeholders to frame a new city charter. It notes 600 to 700 names could be secured, and that initiative and referendum are not needed to compel a special election.
The Independent reports the Santa Fe will install safety gates at the Main Street railway crossing once civic groups or a trustees committee ask the railroad. It urges the city trustees to press officials, and suggests Superintendent Hamner be the single-board liaison for Quarry Street safety设备.
The corrupt practices bill passed by Congress seeks political purity by limiting expenditures and requiring disclosure of campaign costs before and after elections. It notes the advantage enjoyed by wealthy candidates and argues that tighter limits will reduce this imbalance.
The piece notes past trials where trust magnates avoided prison via immunity and fines charged to customers. It expresses hope that the poultry trust prosecutions mark a new day for the public with actual penalties and accountability.
The brief article praises a short strike in England resolved by a six member commission with two worker reps, two employer reps, and a neutral chair. It argues the plan honors the workers union, marks a democratic advance, and sets a hopeful example for Europe.
A cranky local man visited the office and halted his newspaper delivery after finding a story or wording objection in the latest issue. He did not specify the exact article, but his action disrupted routine distribution.
An obituary styled reflection on a stubborn elderly man who stopped his paper and surprised friends on the street. Neighbors recall his kindness and predict his eventual death, with the editor noting the last kind word spoken was about him after he ceased his subscription.
A editorial stresses the upcoming school year and the vital role of teachers in shaping children. It argues teachers are capable, moral, and educated, and warns that parental interference with instructional methods harms students and schools.
The six weeks of joint services by Corona’s Congregational and Baptist congregations ended last Sunday. The union reflects a shift from past Indiana church feuds to harmony and shared worship under one pastor. Local observers note a broader move toward friendship among denominations, likening it to pulling heaven down to earth.
Advertising serves to benefit a business and publishers expect a financial return equal to or greater than the amount spent. The article notes frequent disappointment when returns do not meet expectations, underscoring the tough economics of promotion.
A discussion on advertising principles emphasizes three essentials: conspicuous appeal, eye catching design, and truthful representation. It argues honest conduct over the counter validates advertisements and warns against repeated misrepresentation harming public trust and business.
The author contrasts temporary gains from misleading ads with lasting effects. Mail order houses spread literature nationwide, so misrepresentation loses impact, while a local merchant must keep faith to win and retain customers. The piece warns that mail order goods are often inferior and customers lose trust.
Amendment details outline posting requirements in counties lacking print media. County clerk posts copies in three public places and near a schoolhouse in every district. First publication or posting occurs within fifteen days after filing. Board of supervisors must submit the charter to qualified electors at a special election held between thirty and sixty days after the action.

Foster Milburn Co. of Buffalo is the U S sale agent.
