San Antonio Sees Sharp Rise in Auto Licenses
Auto licenses issued in San Antonio during the first ten days of January show a near fourfold jump from 1916. A new daily record of 30 licenses was set, with 156 licenses applied for January 1 to 10, far above 61 in 1916 and 43 in 1915. Jitneys among the new licenses suggest profitable auto carriers, and city hall registrar Ed M. Rivas predicts the city may soon lead the state in car registrations.

Middle West portrait in Century Magazine critique
An excerpt discusses Rollin Lynde Hartt's Century Magazine piece on the Middle West. The East view is condescending yet affectionate, calling plainsmen "first rate raw material" while noting the Middle West’s lack of a defined identity or local habitation.
Where is the Middle West and who belongs to it
The author questions regional labels and asks which states truly form the Middle West. He cites cities from New York to Oregon, noting disputes among authorities and locals about membership, while Minnesota is broadly seen as Northwest. He ends with a playful quote claiming the Middle West is “Nowheres-nor any wheres else.”
