A Detroit loan manager urges a law against secret borrowing by spouses to curb distrust and domestic discord. The piece argues marriages should unite finances, noting examples of hidden loans and the harm caused when wealth seems absent at settlement. It discusses broader social aims and contrasts with prudent, transparent handling of money within marriages.
Dward Bok, as editor of the Ladies Home Journal, turned antagonism into capital by embracing critical writers, turning playful jests about editing a women's paper into free promotion and higher staff quality. He tamed opposition into assets, arguing talent can be won over from foes with equal energy, a tactic applicable even when hostility is fierce.
A collage of farmhumor and quips from Kansas farmers and townsfolk. Bits joke about sun times, humor on Scotch birth, and the absurdities of rural life. The piece weighs social values, labor, and economic thrift with light satire and domestic wisdom.
A humorous poem traces a boy’s boyhood habits and vanity as his mother warns of growing up. The verse lists ages of boyhood and notes how a girl’s interest changes his behavior. A North Hitman remark about a refrigerating device ends the piece, linking education to living well.
A satirical mosaic notes a one armed sculptor who welds with his mouth, a cranky office man nicknames his old car Congress, and a cavalcade of wry quips. It parodies technology, fashion, labor, and political trends with pointed humor and local color.
A compact aphorism list argues honesty in critics and flattery, prudent money use, setting a decent example for one’s son, retaining old customers while attracting new, valuing manners over attire, maintaining a clear mind over clean hands, and bidding an audience to listen over flashy speech.
A compilation of quoted opinions from newspapers notes the British Board of Trade saying Britain cannot stop rim running to the U S while the American government echoes the constraint. Other clippings discuss home teaching by clubwomen and a public stance against further tax cuts. A rhapsodic Minnesota man jokes about selling his vocal chords posthumously to a medical association for a large sum.

A historic critic argues Europe must reform work to prevent social unrest, urging owners to give workers a real stake in profits and to improve conditions. He envisions tying earnings to productivity, ending wage misery, and transforming labor into a valued occupation akin to national independence movements. He likens the reform to Lincoln’s era, aiming to free industrial workers from exploitative conditions.
