The exchange between a young man and his father centers on stock trading. The son urges caution and urges the father to stop gambling as the market tilts. The father recalls past gambles, noting he once profited by selling short and riding the market's tides. He admits the market has tricked him and now laments paying the price for past bets.
Minnesota iron mining interests press for tax reductions during the current session, citing open pit expansion since 1920. Duluth Herald cites a 55 percent drop in underground output at M. A. Hanna since 1920, from 70 percent to 15 percent, with idle underground shafts and cancelled leases. Leaders say a one third tax cut is needed to spark reinvestment, while a proposed tonnage tax cut from six to four percent offers only mixed relief and may not offset broader local tax burdens.
A defense of small towns and their leaders argues against tax policies that burden mining and industry, warning mechanization and payroll declines harm communities. It extols the value of local editors and citizens, praising notable figures and the enduring role of small towns in national life.
A metropolitan columnist riffs on how a town mourns a faithful workhorse named Old Dobbin. The piece treats a horse’s death as community news, arguing a town’s character is shown by shared memory of a horse delivering daily life goods and personal milestones. It contrasts the horse’s quiet usefulness with modern thieves and criminals.
The essay argues pie has long been America’s great dish but now faces doubt from the rising popularity of the hot dog. It notes pie’s storied origins and quality in past eras, while acknowledging changing tastes and the hot dog's appeal for calories and convenience. It cites a figure of 880 million hot dogs transferred last year.
The writer contrasts pies with hot dogs as compelling foods, noting a voyage through numerous eateries over 4000 miles. He acknowledges hot dogs as valuable but argues a pie has superior aesthetic appeal and joy, concluding with a playful jab about Detroit Saturday Night.
The speaker, Rev. George Henry, argues that material poverty or wealth does not influence God’s verdict. Poverty harms earthly prospects but not divine judgment, while extreme want affects worldly life. He asserts the final question is one’s true condition before God, not outward riches or poverty.
The piece calls for codifying hazardous and non-hazardous occupations for minors under 18 to expand lawful, safe work. It argues young men need apprenticeship in skilled trades, noting current law restricts many opportunities and hampers employment, urging state labor officials to define guarding categories and balance protection with opportunity.
The Irvon River Reporter warns that without a decisive move toward constructive labor, character and stability may falter. The piece implies data on tampering with the labor code could worsen objections and threaten progress.
The Wakefield News questions U.S. 2 readiness and argues a Sunday Lake carnival would draw crowds with easy access, abundant parking, and strong spectator facilities. It critiques Lake Gogebic as impractical for a large event while urging Wakefield to develop Sunday Lake and urging county-wide support for Sunday Lake and Gogebic’s tourism potential.
