The writer spends an evening with the village intelligentsia including four teachers and a minister. They resemble peasants in dress, yet some villagers display modest luxury bought from city folk in exchange for produce.

Court brief seeks retrial over school dance use in North Platte
Attorneys for Harry A Brooks and nine taxpayers urge reinstatement of an injunction against the North Platte board of education to bar dancing in Franklin School. They claim the court erred in dismissing the suit and that school funds and facilities are improperly used for dances. The case cites prior approvals, parental opposition, and potential harm to students, arguing the funds should support education only.

Rich and Poor in Russia A village’s civil strife over equality
In a Russia village in 1918, the rich and poor clashed as the Committees of the Poor seized property and cattle, distributing wealth to the needy. The "fists" resisted with aid from relatives and neighboring villages, culminating in civil unrest until the government abolished the committees and reinstated the soviet. By then wealth had collapsed and disparities persisted though many remained poor.
