Humane Work Crusade Gains Ground In West Virginia
Prof. R J Hanlon of Milwaukee led a West Virginia humane work crusade that expanded eight new societies, totaling more than the four prior. Legislation and funding are sought at the next session, with penalties proposed for cruelty but limited enforcement for neglect. Local notes urge sash returns, school morning kisses, and schoolhouse door roosting antics. The Surprise Store advertises embroidered Henriettas and flannois for fall waists on Main street, while the Methodist Ladies Aid maintains an Exchange Saturdays at Dr Warden's office on Main street.

Our Apparent Balance of Trade and Shipping Costs
Secretary Gage notes that exports exceed imports yearly, but a true balance must deduct foreign freight, passenger fares, and marine insurance. In 1805-1 over 3600,000,000 goods were traded, yet 200,000,000 in shipping costs went abroad, reducing the apparent gain and arguing for domestic shipping profits under the Ship Subsidy bill.
