In Gilgal the prophets face a dearth and a pot of pottage becomes deadly after wild gourds are mistaken for edible herbs. The minister adds meat, the danger is removed, and the people are fed without further harm.
Prices for wholesale meat are dropping but the public should not expect immediate retail reductions. Retailers need time to adjust prices downward rather than upward and align with the new market.
The text discusses Nloyd George and King George relations with no clear legal objection to an annuity. it notes Lawrence's view of a growing town after a dull summer, along with remarks on war indemnity and ransom negotiations with bandits. It mentions rain arriving late, reviving corn and alfalfa, and farmers benefiting from the downpour.
Among the interesting new publications is the American Legion Weekly, published in the interests of ex soldiers and the new soldiers organization. It bids fair to claim the interest of former service men much as did the Stars and Stripes in France. It is breezy, newsy and alive.
The text argues a President’s appearance in Lawrence would attract a huge, courteous audience that would not prove endorsement of the League of Nations. It notes slogans like policies not politics and stresses the value of veterans' groups for national benefit without equating attendance with support.
A minority of the American Bar Association argues Cavell’s execution was legally right under wartime law. The piece notes Cavell aided Allied soldiers, was tried and executed in Belgium, and views the act as a grave German mistake provoking global outrage.
Three Fort Scott business men met John G. Shedd in his private office at the Marshall Field wholesale house. Shedd questioned their business knowledge and war finance views, then spent a long time discussing with them. A Bible lay on his desk beside a New Testament Tosaw message. Fort Scott Tribune.
A chaotic column argues Republicans mishandled wartime policy, urging party purity and warning of a fractured Democratic movement. It cites Senator Reed joining leaders, critiques tariffs, and laments leadership as the nation debates the peace treaty and League of Nations amid internal party strife.

Roumanians forced all Carpathians into Hungary. The Isonzo River crossed by Giderna. California Red Grapes expected next week. Prices reasonable for canning. Order from your grocer Hi Wilson & Co.
The column notes birthdays of several notable figures: Fritai Serieff born in Vienna, Luther F. Mall a former governor of Louisiana born in Morehouse Danek, Prof. Thomas Rachurn White of the University of Pennsylvania born in Dublin Indiana, and Henry F. P. Wallis a former U.S. senator from New Hampshire born in Concord. Each entry marks anniversaries of 44 or 50 years ago.
A quirky column from Laclede Iowa critiques wartime morale and Congress. It scoffs at public sentiment, notes Pershing’s return, laments privatized talk, and mocks political stunts while citing a Sabetha death story and local gossip about railway staff and Rankin’s drugstore water bottles.
