Prohibition Views at Web and WCTU Conventions
The temperance column discusses the Webb law and its legality, reporting seizures of liquor as proof of enforcement. It cites Representative Webb claiming no loopholes and notes declines in per capita liquor use in prohibition states, with figures from the Brewers Year Book and Internal Revenue data. It references the 1913 State WCTU convention addresses and events in Brooklyn and Asbury Park.

Stranger Preacher Tries to Build Meetin House in Mountain Feud
In a worn holler near Flintstone Holler a pale traveler named Falway seeks to preach and unite feuding clans the Raineses and the Barrows. Old Grandpop Raines and Old Grandpop Barlow quarrel over a level ground they call a fighting place while Falway proposes a shared meetin' house and mutual aid, aiming to calm four generations of feuding. He stays with both sides and resolves to work alone in a nearby cabin, while locals compete to host him.
