War Department siege humor and local notices amid reports
A chaotic spoof on war department information channels follows a Babylon siege parody with mock inquiries and absurd responses from various offices and clerks. The piece sits beside local notices about the Home Relief corps meeting, church services in Lippincott, and a listing of arrivals and departures. It ends noting Lewis Heim, a Cresona saloon keeper, nominated for county commissioner on the Prohibition ticket.

Soldiers' and Sailors' Home Memories and Daily Life
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Home notes a light frost with no damage to flowers, recalls fall winds, and honors residents and schoolchildren visiting. The home received a sack of sugar, priced 15 cents a pound for one person, and the "dog house" amusement hall hosts barber Steve and newspaper editor Fred Glase. Mails depart at set morning and afternoon times, with Sunday mail later. Comrade King and wife visited Pana on pass.
