A clumsy blunder by Mr Lennie in secretly backing a non Republican candidate exposed a factional push. The act, tied to party bosses, alarms the Republican ranks, with calls for Lemke to resign or be ousted to clear the party’s leadership.
The essay argues Americans habitually juggle multiple aims in lawmaking and cites the food control bill’s prohibition clause as an example. It contends that banning intoxicating beverages could stand alone and that lumping it into broader bills dilutes proper consideration. The author urges focusing on a separate, principled prohibition amid wartime aims for lasting peace.
The Northwood Kempton Livestock Shipping Association shipped over 11000 dollars worth of stock from the Vicinity of the two towns. Shipping cost was about half a dollar per hundredweight, far lower than individual shipments. The article credits cooperative shipping for improving farmers profits and highlights the need for broader organization in the apple and other farm industries to achieve uniform quality, packing, and marketing from production to eastern markets.
The Grand Forks Commercial Club begins a new year under the presidency of H B Finch, a prominent North Dakota businessman. The club's work on Wesley College, street railway, Civic League, park system, St Michael's hospital, and Northern Packing is highlighted as evidence of its broad impact on the city’s development and unity.
An unidentified man torn down a large banner carried by militant suffragists outside the White House gates. The scene followed months of protests with banners accusing Wilson and Root envoys of deceiving Russia and denying democracy.
From the Providence Journal the Council of National Defense urges curbing the return goods habit in retail foods and department stores during the war. It notes high return rates, estimates costs at about 50 000 for a typical store, and calls on customers to cooperate with a thoroughgoing reform.
A humorous slice of life features tales of a four year old mischief maker and blunt remarks about discipline, a boastful man chasing vain regrets, a dictionary lesson on model, and a rowdy inn scene with light misadventures. Readers meet talking horses, quarrels, and a drunken cab scene.
A seasoned military analyst discusses morale and spirit amid combat, drawing on experiences from France’s army and frontline units. He outlines how training, leadership, and unity sustain troops under fire and influence outcomes.
Granville Fortes marks a sharp contrast between French and German soldier relations. In French battalions obedience rests on public opinion and trusted officers rather than fear, with captains guiding men like fathers. The system ensures swift obedience, minimizes losses, and builds loyalty through shared risk and intelligent leadership in trenches.
A curious column fragment blends social domestic lore with wartime food rules in rhymed verse. It notes German policies feared by editors, quips on public appetite, and reminds readers of rationing and moral steadiness while hinting at broader war anxieties.
A garbled fragment describes a day of fervent rejoicing in police and in a hovel aiding the unfortunates. It mentions a sermon by Pastor Stampt on patriotism delivered at a Berlin pulpit, with references to a generous donation and to a partner named Ale Gorgeously Uni five devout thanks. The text is muddled and difficult to interpret.
A historic clipping outlines flag etiquette with sunrise rules, parade conduct, and proper display. It also lists ceremonies and a satirical set of “New Commandments” urging personal responsibility and self-promotion, reflecting civic culture and patriotic instruction.
A Chicago Post column argues Germany seeks to lull American resolve by peace talk and discord while plotting to dominate Europe. It urges immediate action, warning that delayed U.S. entry risks fighting alone later, as patriotism is portrayed as being drugged by Berlin’s influence.
