Self Defense and War Time Knitting Memoirs
A periodical mosaic recounts home front morale with poems praising women who knit for soldiers, notes on shoemaking history from Celtic to modern times, a muskrat meat conservation report for wartime meals, and a series of short vignettes about prayers, industry, and daily life amid wartime Britain and America. The collage includes humorous anecdotes, charity appeals, and civic notices.

In the Ranks and Voices of War Effort Echoed
An OCR excerpt blends wartime mobilization talk with social anecdotes. Secretary Baker touts American industry, manpower, and material power mobilized for France, noting aviation, artillery, and small arms production. A separate domestic vignette reports a Yorksburg incident and a Wins Chester clerkship dispute, plus bird feeding appeals amid cold weather and a bankruptcy petition in Green Spring, with references to tax and education funds in Scranton.
