Haddonfield New Jersey December report credits Conrad Sharpley 11 and Albert Stewart 10 with saving a boy from serious injury after an accident in a public school. Dr. W H Long treated the injured child who was jammed against a window during rough play by older boys.
In a dramatic incident two arteries of a wrist were severed and blood gushed. Young Shapley improvised a tourniquet with a handkerchief and mopped the flow as bystanders applauded the quick aid. The diet squad was praised for its actions though some doubt about ongoing participation.
A compact reflection on how some praise feels insincere or backhanded, leaving unease rather than warmth. It notes how tone, context, and hidden motives can sour well meant words. The piece urges awareness of true intent behind compliments.
Portland commissioners discussed a two year contract to Portland Railway, Light Power for street and public building lighting at 614 a year per unit overhead and 60 for underground. Daly outlined a plan to fund a municipal lighting plant via bonds possibly between 1 and 2 million dollars. Engineers estimate the city could receive more light at lower costs and a lighter annual expense than current operations.
North Portland yards saw a hog run with trade steady and prices near recent days. Top quality hogs sold around 2.69 per hundred weight, with prime heavy hogs 225-26 pounds bringing about 9.75 to 9.45 per unit. Cattle and sheep markets remained firm with limited arrivals, while some uncertainty from Chicago wheat moods affected flour futures and barrel prices.
The Chicago market weakened as foreign news talk stirred speculation, but many small interests dumped long positions. Local millet and bran markets rose with higher prices, while flour and hay figures varied across grades. Portland wheat trades fell after Chicago’s drop, December bids dipping and barley down.
The Pendleton City Marshal announces a stray described as one day more with suckling cost, weight about 1000 pounds, branded on left shoulder. If not claimed within ten days, the animal will be sold for cash at 3 p.m. December 18, 1916, at the City Pound, 212 West Webb Street. Proceeds pay sale costs. City Marshal T. B. Gurdane signs the notice December 1938.
