Contested school prize and crop outlook in Champaign area
Reports from Gibson and Champaign recount a school contest with Miss McKeever winning first prize dictionary and Miss Nella Spaulding second while Simin took honor for being first to rely. Crop prospects mirror local forecasts: bad winter kill on wheat, early oats damaged, late sown oats spared, corn area expanding, fruits uninjured yet dry conditions threaten yield, chinch bug menace looms over small grains. Also ads note a large Paxton home for boarding or two families via E B Earl.
