Publication details indicate Thursday release by R. P. Strauch with second class mail status entered at Elgin post office Fayette County Iowa.
A 1829 note recalls a business man fearing a rumor about a trusted partner. Advice urged calling the party in and talking openly. The rumor proved false, showing misunderstandings arise in life and business amid fierce competition, and urging direct communication over hasty judgments.
A narrator reflects on life choices, praising honesty and debt responsibility while condemning those who gain through unjust means. The piece contrasts headaches of rough honesty with the apparent success of swindlers, noting the social and familial harms caused by dishonorable conduct.
Iowa's road plan for the year will bring 18 million to labor. The state has 821 miles of paving under contract for 1929, more than any other state, with only seven states ahead in total miles. Upon completion, 90 county seats will be connected to the capital by surfaced highways. Iowa's mineral resources last year exceeded 33 million dollars in value, and there were 12,680 472 large units marketed. Town farms held 86,128 radios last year. Read all the ads and save money.
