Masked intruder killed by homeowner in New Castle
Clara Defonso fought off a masked intruder in her New Castle home. Benny Capriglione sprang up unseen, struggle ensued, and Defonso shot the revolver-wielding man, Albert Huish, who died. Huish’s pistol was unloaded. Police cannot confirm if the act was a joke, robbery, or something else. Martin Posner, once a Donovan grocer, returns from Austria Hungary with kronen totaling about $84 after conversion from prewar sums. A man then notes a joke about affording outings and marriage.

Essentials of Egg Making for Hens
Eaving hens need the elements of egg making that are found freely in their smaller range inest and brass. Both are vitally necessary to making hens lay, and can be sapped with but little trouble, in the form of meat strap, and sprouted oats or steamed clover.
Tobacco price movement and industry response in 1920s
The piece defends cigar and tobacco makers against calls to cut prices in line with broader tobacco price declines. It explains that Kentucky and Southern leaf types used for cigars differ from those for cigarettes, that vast aging and curing periods delay leaf availability, and that war-time price rises and taxes forced measured increases in finished products. It compares retail hikes across cigars, cigarettes, and manufactured tobaccos with leaf-cost increases, arguing manufacturers must realize the cost of high-priced leaf bought before the war.
