It criticizes tobacco and cigarette use, discusses elections and legislative funding, and notes anti tanning and mob behavior patterns across states.

It emphasizes costs of upbringing and the need to prove worth, while contrasting hard work and sacrifice by father and mother with the son’s future duties. Also noted are local notices of moves and recoveries, plus medical advertisements and a final settlement notice for Emanuel K. Flory’s estate.
