A local editorial defends Tabor for enforcing speed limits amid criticism from other papers and a radio station. The piece applauds proactive traffic regulation aimed at protecting citizens, notes past errors, and urges broader backbone in enforcing laws on both town roads and open highways. It also congratulates President George M. Hil.
The report lauds fall fair preparations and junior 4-H exhibits but argues the Mills County Fair must balance entertainment with tangible education. It critiques university theses distant from daily life and notes a new free swimming pool already widely used by residents despite chilly weather.
The Mills County Fair drew large crowds for a Friday night show with estimates around 5000. However many entered by climbing fences and tickets collected showed far fewer paid admissions, causing hardship for fair management. The pool and recreation areas offer rest and exercise, with Mills County's golf course and drives offering scenic views.
The Washington Daily News notes massive world armament spending in the League of Nations Year Book, with major powers listed and the United States and Soviet Union among top spenders. The piece urges genuine disarmament efforts as global tensions rise toward another era of rearmament.
A Chicago Board of Trade speculator, Tom Howell, reportedly earned a millen dollar profit from a July corn squeeze by selling short without owning corn. The piece explains the mechanics, potential farmer impact, and quotes President Hoover denouncing short selling as harmful and likely to be prohibited by law.
The report by Corporal Herzaly sketches a three act Mills County Fair with chaotic first day rushes at the gates, livestock judging in Floral Hall, and crowd scenes including free acts and a wedding ceremony.
