Federal and state politics mix with social quips in a biting column
A caustic roundup lampoons J. W. Bailey’s Senate absence and Lorimer’s defense, notes editorial bravado on the soda industry, and spoofs Roosevelt, La Follette, Wilson, Taft, and Wall Street. It surveys crops, sugar trusts, Prohibition era anxieties, and coastal society manners with pointed, satirical vignettes.

Weather Crop Bulletin Des Moines Week Ending September 17 1911
The past week brought generally favorable conditions for pastures plowing and fall seeding with above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall except in the northwest east central and southeast counties where moisture was excessive. Copious rain in most areas over ten days improved pasturage and late potatoes while soil remained in good condition. Corn harvest nears completion with 30 to 90 percent out and most corn safe from frost with warm weather likely to continue. Apples plums and grapes are in heavy harvest under George M Chapple.
