A Duluth board of trade member warns that over 95 million dollars was lost by Minnesota farmers last year due to dirt in wheat. He urges cleaning grain before milling, noting buyers pay more for clean feed and feed screenings, and highlights the market impact of impurities and corn cookie taint.
Fragmentary OCR text shows a chaotic sequence about a damning letter, a stenographer, and a telegraphed signature. Mentions numbered weekly pay, bleaching ivory, turpentine, and overseas fame tied to private matters. Core facts are unclear due to garbled source.
A wartime notice describes Winnipeg recruitment efforts offering meals, lodging, and companionship to new volunteers. It notes bunk style sleeping quarters, free tat removal, and proximity to the 100th battalion, with recruitment posters credited to Great Britain for inspiring western campaigns.
An advertisement-style narrative extols Dr Williams Pink Pills for anemia in young girls. It claims prompt nourishment restores color, strength, and appetite, citing a mother's testimonial of brightening cheeks, weight gain, and renewed health after nine boxes. Pills offered by mail from The Dr Williams Medicine Co Brockville.
A legal contest opens over a contract to remove New York City garbage. The city has paid about $3.76 million over 17 years, while a new bidder offers $900,000 for a five year term. Counsel argue the waste yields nitroglycerin, linking the war demand to the bid.
The note describes a 21 year old cotalder who applied Minard's Liniment and Minnands Lin to a foot injury. The entry mentions relief after hours of treatment and includes shorthand endorsements from Mullen and TG, reflecting a local testimonial.
A chaotic exchange unfolds with an irate shopper accusing others of negligence while jokes about a hospital epidemic, clocks, and parroting opinions mix with a tangential note on General Theodoros and Balkan intrigue referencing 1913 events and Saloniki. The dialogue hints at mistrust, humor, and antiquated geopolitics.
An official estimate places Canada’s wheat export surplus at 28 132 000 bushels for the year with 83 625 000 bushels considered non merchantable after cleaning and allowances. Seed retention totals 24 500 000 bushels from 14 600 000 acres with varying yields per acre.
A brief note shows immigration dipping by about 1 percent from the prior year with Leinster and Connaught among the listed provinces. It references emigration to the United States and mentions paid passages, indicating a continuing but reduced flow of travelers in 1914.
A government backed plan to extend public savings in Great Britain is proposed by a committee led by Eucia Samuel Montagua. It rejects many war savings associations but allows broad membership and government guarantees. A central supervision body would oversee, with a new deposit form offering twenty shillings in return after two years. The treasury has approved the recommendations for immediate effect.
A historical ad fragment touts Nerviline as a fast cure for lumbago back strain and sciatica. It claims the liniment sinks in, soothes tortured muscles, and ends misery with a large family bottle and economical retail sizes. The text also veers into assorted unrelated items and quotes about history and medicine.
Disused Paris observatory obelisks from 1730s are moved or forgotten as France adopts the Greenwich meridian. Some markers at Monchecourt and Gollainville remain, while a 1736 piece is inaccessible. Another was found at St Vrain. In Seine et Oise pension funding draws royal remarks.
A US settler bought adjoining land at 30 dollars per acre near Warner, paid off over years, and last spring planted the entire quarter section in wheat. A single year’s crop paid the land cost and operating expenses, leaving a handsome profit. His 6000 bushels of wheat this season fuel plans to expand into livestock, securing future income.
The provincial tax on vacant lands assessed at 1 percent aimed at underused properties, not war funding.
