Booklets with homemaking ideas are offered by Mrs. Spears at ten cents each.
A village suitor weighs up merits in a playful courtship tale. The Scot uses a notebook to count points while Maggie parries with a wry reply, joking she will marry a rival, the plumber Fergus Ferguson, when her tally hits twenty.

A brief item notes a curious count about trees along the border with the United States. The piece highlights a one sided arrangement and the unusual ratio of trees per unit length in the border area.
