The Monroe Journal urges citizens to observe Wilson's meatless and wheatless days, promote increased food production, and plant more cotton for the war effort. It critiques mail service delays, rail delays, and calls for labor-saving tools, urging savings and War Savings Stamps while praising unity with Allies.
The Journal cites Secretary Baker defending wartime policy and discrediting Senator Chamberlain while arguing for hog raising in city limits to aid food conservation. It praises Wilson's cabinet, urges local ordinances to permit clean, contained pens and wide adoption of meat production for France.
The notice invites all to attend worship at 11 a m with sermon, 3 p m Sunday school, and 7 p m union service with Central Methodist Church. It extends Moses invitation to Hobab from Numbers 10 29 as reported.
Public notice urges citizens to spend wisely and save earnestly by purchasing War Savings Stamps. Officials emphasize disciplined spending to support wartime financing, with reminders of government programs and benefits for savers and the nation.
A reader letter from Anxious Mother pleads with Monroe’s Aldermen to reject hog pens inside city limits. She cites typhoid fever concerns, high grain costs, and dangers to families, urging the city to avoid a “nuisance and menace” that threatens lives and health.
A letter from a reader argues against a hog pen plan, urging citizens to oppose a sanitary pig confinement. The writer cites health concerns, including the flu and typhoid, and recalls doctors supporting the hog-free stance. The piece mocks the idea while urging public health and cleanliness.
Letter to the editor argues for allowing hogs in Monroe to ease meat and fat shortages during war. Advocates sanitary inspection, notes no human disease from hogs, mocks anti pig concerns, and suggests owners slaughter for personal use as fats are scarce. Concludes with fear of German oil myth.
Notice from J. W. Fowler advertising a return from the West with a shipment of fine mules and brood mares. Readers are urged to visit Fowler & Leo’s stables to see the stock and consider purchasing. Also a call to buy War Savings Stamps.
A Pageland Journal fragment recounts Ed's Sunday School and neighborhood yarns about cranking old cars, with Grover Man's stubborn start-up troubles and Buckeye misstatements.
