Major Crofoot Swindled by Deadbeat Promoter

It cites Italy’s postquake imports at about 38 million dollars, wartime transport disruptions, and a 15 percent drop in the US annual cut, with US exports halved since the war.

Watch Reappears After Seven Years In Ground Mystery
Newton reports a remarkable recovery of a lost watch. Malcom Cline regained possession after seven and a half years, found by Clarence Start in a flooded ditch near Newton. The watch, damp but functional, resumed ticking as if no time had passed. In Marshville township, Ira B. Mullis is appointed to survey the national highway route, a move seen as a major local development. A harsh tonic ad follows, touting quinine and bromide products with medical claims.
