A fragmented reading presents a call for unity among boosters and boosters groups in a rural Midwestern community. The author advocates aligned effort, shared goals, and persistent action to grow local industry and agriculture, urging readers to participate and propose concrete steps.
A witty column notes every town has a knocker who earns a living hammering away at others. The writer observes the survival of the fittest, with some knockers doing it for habit and a few out of sheer cussedness. The piece admits the writer participates in the game too.
The note extols strong nationalism and thrift, praising keeping money at home while hoping for rewards in the future. It riffs on political corruption and pestilent troublemakers, then ends with a fervent willingness to fight for country but a plea for peace to avoid the need.
A jumble of aphorisms and social jabs about war, aging, gas prices, and local habits. It laments the war’s toll on widows, mocks vanity, and recalls everyday quirks from Chicago’s parade to kitchen chores, finishing with a nostalgic nudge to self improvement.
Local items recount family visits, dances, and social calls around Lemmon. Mrs F C Taylor returns home after a week away while Howard Sylvester buys Dotatis 04.0 and Janet Meaty greets a new nephew. Several residents attend gatherings at Gilman and Emmons homes with multiple short visits and a holiday dance noted.
