A reflective critique notes that some people fail not from bias but from neglecting duties, choosing thrill seeking over responsibility, and thus undermining their own paths. It contrasts accountability with a mindset that assumes others oppose them.
A Northwest editor laments the dulling effect of sensational boxing reporting while noting the public appetite for the Carpentier Dempsey bout. The piece concludes that war news, though harsher, is no more romantic than boxing hype, and criticizes newspapers for churned dope.
A Boonville tale recounts Fred Bradley, once a thriving local lawyer, whose wife Mrs. Bradley drives a mail order boom that collapses the town. Merchants and banks fail, property slumps, and Bradley loses fortune, forcing bankruptcy and exile. The piece urges support for hometown merchants and warns against out-of-town buying.
Wartime conditions push shoppers to favor home town stores over city outlets. Higher costs for mail order houses, freight, and rents raise prices in large cities, while small town stores benefit from bulk purchasing and lower expenses. Local staff costs are lighter and rents and taxes are cheaper, keeping merchandise prices down.
A Lester shire resident announces plans to build a spring home with lumber from Illinois millwork from town and furniture from elsewhere. He expects the town to fund the purchases, viewing charity as blessing while rejecting obligation to give back. The piece mocks his stance and predicts he may face consequences.
