A Jaunty rural column reports on a farmer Joe Gibbons and his odd pecan gathering idea, local peach harvests, and a morning of political debate on Missouri ballot propositions 11 and 12, with supporters and opponents arguing home rule for excise and police in St Louis and wider state implications. The piece also recalls a revival meeting, community departures, and local anecdotes.
Excerpts condemn ward bosses running gambling and Sunday saloons, warn of police and excise control skewing elections, ballot stuffing, and crime tied to political power. References to Republican, Democrat, Progressive and Socialist stances and a New London Baptist association stance on state policy and leadership. Mentions Senator William J Stup and party dynamics in Hartford Times context.
Missouri farmers increasingly pick seed ears in the field to raise next year’s yields and profits.

Also reported is the death of Mary J. Bess, wife of John Bess of Greenbrier, after an appendiceal abscess operation at St Francis hospital following transfer from Zalma.
The piece argues for Senator Stone's reelection, highlighting his loyalty to the Wilson administration and leadership on foreign relations and finance committees.
