The article argues that a thriving city needs both industrial payrolls and spiritual growth through churches schools libraries parks and arts. It praises those who promote religion education music and nature as true community builders alongside industrial workers. It notes election issues like Volstead act stances and comments on Lindbergh and oddly ends with a joke about toothpicks.
