It explains age by birthdays, not years, and highlights festivities from children to the elderly, with playful verse and social reminders about legal matters unrelated to the leap day observance.

Major sports and elections grip attention with spring practice tours and the pugilism bout between Battling Nelson and Sinnay Britt drawing interest.
