The City Where Nobody Cares in The Conning Tower
A reflective piece from The Conning Tower about New York City’s perceived indifference and the speaker’s longing for the Mojave Desert. The narrator contrasts city voracity for privacy with West Coast openness, recalling an impromptu ride with shopgirls and a wish to share welcomings across towns. The tone is nostalgic and gently critical.

Liberty Loan Cut By Non Partisans In North Dakota
North Dakota and Montana show surprising Liberty Loan variances as North Dakota raises about 2.5 million on a 10.4 million target while Montana reaches 18 million against a 7.6 million target. The Non Partisan League, led by Governor Lynn Frazier, links in North Dakota and Western Minnesota, challenging loan support and broad political influence amid wheat profits and farm wealth. Townley's rhetoric draws farmers away from bond subscriptions, surprising state and federal officials in Minneapolis and across the Ninth Federal Reserve District.
