A fragmented opinion piece urges readers to research visible supply and demand before selling or holding corn. It notes $1 per bushel as discussed by the Corn Growers Association and encourages consulting grain dealers, emphasizes independent decision making, and warns against relying on newspaper prompts alone.
Early in December the Times advertised a magazine combination including the Des Moines Register and Graettinger Times with about a dozen extra papers for 6.75 dollars, just 26 cents less than the two newspapers alone. Since Christmas, twelve orders came for the two main papers without the freebies, as readers said they would be pestered if they subscribed earlier.
The piece discusses people becoming liable for subscription costs when taking papers or magazines from mailboxes or post offices. It notes that time passes quickly and individuals may owe amounts for unwanted publications. It also reflects on discovering new insights year by year after advertising a proposition.
The Times extends gratitude to nearly a hundred subscribers from Graettinger Walingford and surrounding areas including Canada to California and Norway for 1927 support. The note cites improved January outlook, a note on forest and world affairs, jokes and quips, and promotes the paper’s dictionary sale for students.
Fragmentary rustic dialogue and shop scene with a clerk and a customer. A comic exchange about blankets and looking for a friend, interspersed with garbled romantic wordplay about electricity and love. The piece presents a humorous, dialect-laden slice of everyday life.
