A regional piece urges friends to visit Southern Kansas and enjoy a season of growth. It praises improved development, wheat and corn yields, orchards, and a bountiful harvest potential, urging early invitations to witness the area’s progress and hospitality.
Correspondence from Tribuna describes Iola's rapid growth and a new machine shop complex by Mills and Smith, with a 350 by 75 feet main building and a 200 by 50 foot wing. The plant, costing about 25 000 dollars plus 26 000 for machinery, will produce bridges and various machines, including a corn husker. The bank, real estate office, and Norris and Harrington furniture works are also noted as key local industries.
An obscure note reports Feins to Greenai Haxcoce friends plotting to back a Democratic presidential nominee. At a late meeting several supporters pledged one thousand dollars each, with a plan to raise to one hundred thousand if needed. The move is viewed as premature.
The piece notes many Democratic papers rally behind the New Departure, accepting that the 14th and 15th amendments exist and are federal law, while fearing that broad progress under this banner may fail to mobilize reform-minded voters against entrenched positions and the legacy of the past.
