Social and family notices mix with wartime verse
A local social column lists dinner gatherings at Haladays and neighbors in Princeton and nearby towns, church events, visitors, and a funeral. An advertisement touts Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach and liver relief. A wartime poem imagines an Irish Kaiser replacing German foes with shamrocks.
Wood meal bread and prisoner labor in Germany
The report cites F Sefton Nelmer describing Germany using Holzmehl wood flour to feed cattle and soldiers while prisoners are fed it as a possible delicacy. A high official allegedly says after the war many Slav prisoners will be kept as farm laborers, with education shaping their German loyalty. The piece also notes rail crossing dangers and a call for harsher penalties for auto drivers at crossings.
