It condemns graft in wartime shipping programs and mocks Bishop Gailor on prohibition. It also covers Fatty Arbuckle scandals and calls for decency in film.

Morgan's Grove Fair Passes With Great Attendance and Profit
The Morgan's Grove fair closed last Friday after a highly successful exhibition with larger crowds than any prior event except the Bryan speech gathering. Attendance soared Thursday, attractions surpassed previous years, and the fair posted an estimated profit around $1,500. New grandstands and buildings enhanced the site, and Farson's Military Band from Baltimore entertained attendees. The baby show highlighted many pretty infants with awards to Wilbur Roland Morrow, Doris Jane Miller, and Frances Louise Haines among others, while twin prizes went to Ira Detr Bane and Earl McKensie Bane.
