Transmits through the mails as second class mail matter under the Idaho by line.
A wartime enlistment notice appears in the periodical, listing individuals connected to the cause and the community’s contribution during the conflict.
A chaotic grasp of wartime rhetoric and mobilization fills the page. The piece extols American farmers and allies while denouncing German aggression and famine. It links loyalty, national defense, and industrial effort to prevent civilization’s ruin. It cites officials and a stern call to sustain war production.
Fragmentary lines urge all citizens to rally behind the war effort and support of front line troops. It emphasizes unity at home, vigilance, and the need for every loyal American to contribute to victory.
A fragmentary wartime report discusses claims that a candy distributed among farmers contains strychnine to manipulate loyalty. It references American citizens and Nonpartisan propaganda figures Townley and Ray McKale, accusing them of spreading treasonous sweets to sway minds and finance Nazi aims through famine.
Secretary Baker travels to Europe with a hard line toward victory and stronger commitment to swift action. The piece notes past pro German sentiment among twelve senators nicknamed the Whitul twelve and predicts Baker will push for an immediate front line approach upon his return.
The arrest of Townley Gilbert and Victor Berger sparks mutual accusations of a frame up by enemies of the Nonpartisan League. The quarrel quickly descends into childish name calling and heated rhetoric between supporters.
Writings question Townley opposition to government plans and alleged disloyal acts. The text questions if he aided enemies, praised enemies, or betrayed the labor cause by soliciting funds and pledges. It urges scrutiny of Townley and Tele fellows before public endorsement or listing in the campaign.
A garbled, OCR damaged excerpt cites Townley and allies urging expansive action and justified warfare against occupied territories. It frames American war aims as a defense against ruling powers, stressing the right to act and to destroy opposing interests.
A fiery editorial laments lax wartime vigilance among citizens and farmers. It argues Americans neglect the war amid local debates on the Nonpartisan League and LWV, urging stronger patriotism and resistance to treason while praising soldiers facing gas and submarines.
A fragmentary wartime note recalls American resolve after the sinking of the Tuscanoe. Troops stood at attention amid freezing seas and sang America and the Star Spangled Banner. The passage honors selfless sacrifice and steadfast comradeship.
A fragment praises the men of the Tuscania and their qualities, asserting training could not surpass their natural endowments. It emphasizes the need to provide material support to let them perform soldierly duty and to live up to their commendable example.
William Gwin and family express sincere thanks to neighbors and friends for thoughtful acts and kindness during their time of bereavement.
