Winnebago Mission Seeks Chapels and Schools
A mission report details Winnebago Indians under Gospel work, facing two religions Mescal and Medicine Lodge, and housing, education, and legal needs. The field notes include three services weekly, an expanded mission home, and a push for a western chapel, a school, and a Bible training center to sustain citizenship and reform through faith. The appeal asks for funding to complete a new parsonage, a mission school, and a Bible college to train Native workers.

Out of the Ginger Jar Commentary on Public Life
The piece collects wry maxims on love, politics, and society. It cites a March Farm Journal item from Knoxville Express urging Des Moines school board minutes be published, arguing school spending warrants public access more than county board records. The column links virtue, hypocrisy, and governance with humor and critique.
