Auctioneer's refrain and fate in a wartime verse
In a wartime poem by W A Bunton from Yankee Blade, the speaker uses auction imagery of going once going twice and the hammer to reflect life, sacrifice, and divine judgment. The verse ties sale and victory to personal resolve and faith, ending with heaven being sold as the hammer falls.

Noisy Faith in Magnetic Mineral Finders
Reports describe experiments by Professors Rucker and Thorpe showing magnetic needles deflect near ironstone deposits, enabling location and depth estimates. A “diviner” boy, 15, trained by a northern mining company, can detect veins and their strength by walking over ground in water, aided by a medical observer due to magnetic shocks.

Keeping Promises and Promoter Promises Losing Confidence
A historical note on promise keeping showing a merchant loan that stretched from days to months, eroding trust in business. It cites large checks and banking feats, including a 6,250,000 pound transfer, and history of opium smoking in Britain tied to medical advice. The piece ends with a vignette about a man thanking God for provisions while others discuss household demands.
