A poem by Roscoe Gilmore Stott laments the quiet return of a soldier son and a mother’s unheralded pride. The piece contrasts simple homecoming with grand declarations of honor, stressing personal gratitude over public medals and shouting flags. It sits amid a war era column critiquing national politics and public notices.
A compendium of editorial quips and comments from Hardin County and nearby papers. Notes on unconditional surrender in America, German war aims, upcoming general elections, and public reactions. Jokes about canaries, newspaper print costs, Hoover food rules, and press boosterism appear amid wartime reflections by Radcliffe Signal Ackley World Journal and others.
The page compiles letters and editorials from Hardin County Citizen, Union Star, and Iowa Falls Sentinel. It discusses Germany’s retreat tactics, calls for neutral juries in atrocity trials, sewer assessments in Adair, condemnation of thieves, food waste impacts on prices, local business ads, and opinions on Kaiser, Ludendorff, and Krupp.
