A fragmented verse laments distant places where hearts endure, dreaming of better lives. It contrasts grim futures with imagined “somewhere” of sunshine and blue skies, seeking meaning, prayer, and courage amid looming doom.
The piece blasts Congress for inefficiency and treasonous conduct delaying vital wartime bills. It denounces the Roosevelt rider on the conscription bill, condemns partisan politics, and compares national urgency with slower political maneuvers, calling Congress the weakest point in America.
A fragment reviews France prohibitions on rice use beyond food and the impact on cosmetics with 20 million women, 2 million daily rice use, and 6000 kilograms wasted. It notes beef prices, Russia’s wartime position, and a cigarette law taking effect, urging restraint as a patriotic stance.
An editorial argues farmers do not gain from high prices in beef and wheat. It notes Oregon wheat sold near $1 per bushel with scarce supply at $1.50, while those profiting above $2 are few. Government action could curb skyward wheat prices without harming producers, and September wheat may fall after harvest as pit operators push prices down before farmers sell more.
A fragment from a 19th century newspaper notes a boy arriving in town to find work, a rider named Dr Pugeley in brush with horses, freight receipts at the depot totaling about 1000 dollars, a child breaking an arm after a fall, a new electric light at the Chicago Store, and completion of jail cell construction. The Pendington charter activation is mentioned amid several brief items.
