A fragment references The Merchants National Bank and related financial terms amid a 1918 Lawrence Kansas publication. It includes names like A R Keator and H Alcorn and mentions postal, tax and war era rhetoric about taxes and efforts at home. The excerpt also contains editorials debating post office organization and national tax burdens during wartime.
Americans know of Red Cross stamps aiding war relief with proceeds reaching 2.5 million dollars. Jim Mickey of Leavenworth Times is praised for brief editorial closings. Hubert of Fort Scott has led Belle campaign in the zone of wartime activity and seeks a new slogan as nine months after declaring war the nation is not yet at war.
Those prone to complain about income tax may recall that in England, the home of our ally, every man able to do so is expected to contribute. The remark contrasts American tax feelings with British expectations and hints at allied financial solidarity.
The piece assesses Kansas senatorial prospects with Arthur Capper strongest due to his anti wheat price stance, veto of the straight-ticket ballot, and broad farmer ties. It notes Chas. F. Scott’s weaknesses, J. L. Bristow’s anticipated discredit, W. B. Stubbs’s rising influence, and the pacifist vote shaping early contest dynamics in the state. Capper would win if primaries were held today.
The advertisement touts Hood's Sarsaparilla as a long trusted blood purifier and appetite enhancer, Peptiron as a nerve and digestive tonic, and Hood's Pills as a gentle laxative. It urges using all three together for comprehensive relief or using the best single remedy if only one is needed.
The piece argues farmers back Stubbs with strong support while Republicans view him as strongest against Capper and Scott. It notes his past offers no appeal to the disloyal element and suggests if he runs he could become a leading national senator, though the Journal-World does not urge him to enter the race.
A satirical column reflects on Bolsheviks mispronunciations, war gardens, pests threatening piffie plants, and casualty lists from Somewhere in the United States. It notes American and Russian reformers, circus travel woes, shorter skirts, a comic slip on a top step, knitting bags as patriotism, and moon and sun eclipses while recalling meatless days and grocery store demonstrations.
An ad advises a fat reduction plan claiming no strict dieting or hard exercise. It promotes outdoor deep breathing, oil of korein capsules after meals, and a plain envelope free testing packet from Korein Company in New York. It promises weight loss and improved vitality within days.
The Bowersock Theatre lists a week of showings with Winifred Allen in Valour on Monday, Johnny Get Your Gun on Tuesday, Harold Lockwood in The Square Deceiver on Wednesday, Mae Marsh in The Cinderella Man on Thursday and Friday, and Billy West in The Candy Kid on Saturday plus a five reel drama. Henry Nobbs falls from grace in a related Monday feature as a working man gains a new suit and a job, but romance with a stenographer complicates his life. The slate includes notes on Johnny Get Your Gun from Cort Theatre Chicago and Lockwood’s comic turn in The Square Deceiver, with Mae Marsh in The Comfy Man at Rowersock Theatre, highlighting her versatility and string of nicknames from critics.
Marguerite Clark stars in The Seven Swans a fairy tale adaptation by J S Dawley with Richard Barthelmess as Prince Charming Daisy Belmore and a strong supporting cast Doris Kenyon heads the Saturday bill in The Great White Trail Geraldine Farrar's Devil-Stone debuts at the Lasky studios with director Cecil B DeMille Jeanie MacPherson scripts and a noted cast and crew highlighted by Alvin Wyckoff’s acclaimed photography
