A fragment from a 1916 Who's Who page presents garbled text with scattered names and phrases. The readable bits reference biographical listings and notable individuals, but the excerpt remains largely unreadable and incomplete.
The item presents a tangled campus column with chatter about students wearing red bracelets, horseback riding at Eagle Lake, and social antics. It mentions Olga May wanting wide windows, Dersi’s upset after a Sunday incident, and various oddities from Foster, Marshall, and Booty.
A dated ad claims Mae West of St. Louis lost 20 pounds in four weeks using Kruschen Salts. It touts daily half spoonfuls in hot water before breakfast, promises refund if not satisfied, and mentions a 83 cent price with nationwide availability. A brief courtroom joke about fines follows.
An editorial reflects on the wide reach of betting and sports revenues while noting hunger in America. It argues public funds should not subsidize entertainment and urges self-reliance, warning that charity and government aid undermine individual initiative. The piece cites large crowds at football, boxing, and horse races and laments widespread poverty.
A scanned 19th century note describes a bankrupcy prison scam where con artists pose as dying relatives and solicit money through cablegrams. It details a plan to extract 120000 dollars, using forged certificates and a secret packet in a baggage, with threats and impersonations to extract funds from victims.
A sensational but unverified report claims Mr. Trench received about ten thousand English pounds from a fisher's estate in London. The fund’s allocation hinges on his unmarried sister’s status, with the estate divided upon her marriage or death. London attorneys seek names and ages of his children, signaling formal inquiries into the inheritance matter.
The unreadable excerpt hints at Mir refinements and a consideration of a will. Esnepues appears with a share in the estate, suggesting a division or claim in progress.
Swidly school will meet at 12 am and the morning presoking service will be led by Rev. W. M. Rader, presiding elder of the Yoakum District. In the evening Rev. A. Foerster speaks on "A Possible Pleasant Perspective" with a cordial invitation to worship.
