A reflective piece urges collective self examination as greed shadows American virtue after World War I. It calls readers to forgive and forget injustices, honor Christian teachings, and begin 1920 with good will, stressing Christ as a moral teacher and the need to restore law and order.
The Reporter notes its long run of publishing more inches of good, clean advertising than any paper in Fremont or Atchison counties. It attributes this to persistent effort and aims to maintain this standard through continued quality.
The Reporter notes restraint in ad choices despite high overall advertising volume. It cites a Chicago firm’s Montgomery Ward stock ad as an example of questionable content and warns papers nationwide to balance local ads with trust in home merchants to ensure community fairness and reciprocity.
Federal authorities warn that individuals who wear military uniforms without service or after discharge may be fined or imprisoned. Camp Dodge reports several incidents, including a case of a man in a dirty overcoat with missing buttons, seen in a public setting.
An advertisement advises that kidney and bladder irritation stems from uric acid. It recommends four ounces of Rad Salts or Jad Salts taken as a daily drink to neutralize urine acids, relieve burning, and restore normal urinary function, claiming safety and widespread use. The note is presented as expert guidance with a familiar promotional tone.
A Des Moines Register excerpt notes a push cart incident where non service members wore part of a uniform. Federal law forbids selling or gifting military equipment provided to soldiers, with penalties up to 300 dollars or six months’ imprisonment. The piece links misuse to discipline and reverence for the uniform.
Receipts of cream this week have been light with a shift to lower butter prices due to weak demand. Butterfat prices are sliding nationwide amid plentiful egg stocks, while fresh eggs are scarce and high prices curb consumption. Storage eggs show easier tendencies as selling season nears and the producer season approaches. Poultry receipts are lighter with minimal price changes on the selling market.
More poultry arrives at selling centers than consumed, leading to surplus being frozen. Turkeys are well cleaned up and selling at record prices.
The note mentions salding balance before January 1st and directs readers to the Bank of Hamburg to handle automobile license applications with penalties applying after January 1st. The fragment references financial actions and regulatory deadlines without clear names or locations beyond Hamburg.
