The Wednesday June 11 1919 edition of the Evening Caledonian from St Johnsbury Vermont lists staff roles and contact lines. It notes subscription prices and carrier delivery, credits Associated Press, and identifies office staff with names across departments.
A local column lampoons mood and policy, urging sympathy for Woodrow and criticizing Prohibition, speed signs, and patchwork auto laws. It notes editors' quips about enemies and friends and mocks towns with rigid speed limits, urging uniform interstate auto rules.
A writer argues for nationwide vehicle regulations with sensible limits for open country and urban areas. Proposes eight foot safety lanes around trolley cars, right of way on wide streets, and compulsory passing to keep distances.

The article lists Fourth of July committees with chairmen for publicity, entertainment, parade, fireworks, reception, property, and soldiers and sailors, led by Dan Noel and Arthur Fy Stone.

A London Express digest recounts cases of extreme appetite linked to digestion theories by Dr Salhi Penchet. It details individuals described as voracious eaters who consume household goods, raw foods, and garden leaves, including a girl gnawing shrubs and a boy eating clothes.
The passage describes Indian port towns like Bombay and Calicutty as Europeanized centers with English shops, architecture, and motor traffic, noting Indo-Saracenic influences and the coexistence of Hindu and Parsi elites.

A fragmentary note surveys the invention of playing cards in France around 15th to 13th centuries. It cites Charles VI and mentions early writers, claims cards were used in Thornty and Nie East from antiquity, and suggests they were first made about a prior era with evolving military and leisure uses.
A noted agricultural thinker says the key to big crops is abundant plant residue left by crops themselves. He notes grass, corn, wheat and other staples leave humus-rich soil, improving future yields, and that crop residues can sustain soil humus when manure is scarce.
At the Dome New York experiment station researchers found top dressing with fertilizer increased organic matter in the soil. The heavier humus improved ground condition, helping crops. Corn grown on sod with prior season top dressing yielded about 20 bushels more per acre than sod with no top dressing.
