Postage stamps Dewey portrait and comic prayers headline
A humorous aggregation notes Dewey may appear on new stamps while a cautionary joke about Hobson’s face prompts a stamp misuse warning. It also recounts a North Carolina student’s earnest church prayer and a paroled ex-treasurer case in Elkhart County. A Logansport traction project gains momentum with a contract to an eastern firm and a ten day start window. A countryside anecdote warns of a frenzied home paper subscriber, ending with a chaotic scene of beehives, fencing, cows, teeth, carpet, and a runaway book agent.
