A 19th century essay argues a mother's duty to herself through care of children and economy, urging women to govern the home wisely, love and support husbands, and elevate family life. It cites Lincoln and warns against prejudice and misrule, asserting women shape national destiny via domestic reform.
Last Friday the active business life in St Johns ended for Calef Bros. furniture, with stock and fixtures taken by Ormandy Bros. who run the St Johns Furniture store in connection with the Calef business. The sale marks the end of six years of local growth under manager A C Gesler and his associate Jack McNiven, with plans for continued operations and future relocation. The piece also notes a romantic wedding of Karl V Willet of Portland and Gertrude Stephenson of St Johns, plus civic club efforts for hospital, park and improved transit and street projects in St Johns.
A letter from J Anderson questions City Attorney Stroud and the Railroad Commission over the February agreement on water rates in St Johns Portland. It asks why the commission did not visit St Johns, if meetings were arranged with the water company’s attorney without a mass meeting, and whether the proposed bargain truly benefits water users before the city election.
Readable bits show a fragmented entry likely involving names, locations, and possible legal or personal notes. The text lacks coherent context, making precise meaning uncertain and incomplete for a full summary.
A letter argues for broad cooperation over competition, citing church divisions and redundant services in St. Johns. It urges replacing multiple stores with single outlets and expanding cooperative commonwealth ideas aligned with Christian teachings, predicting strong public support and a future editor reply.
