The Monroe Journal critiques Belgian relief and advocates a dog tax to curb stray dogs. The piece argues feeding Belgians is essential while proposing a small ownership tax to discourage unrestrained dog ownership, suggesting fines for irresponsible owners and射 potential dog culling only if owners fail restraint.
A wartime narrative depicts Belgian refugees trudging into Calais and Brussels with the Red Cross aiding the wounded and a nurse delivering life to a newborn. It contrasts scarce milk for babies with aid limits, noting mothers starving while the Commission of Relief seeks to feed each inhabitant ten ounces daily.
A long rambling moral tale cites forty thousand winter casualties and the need for aid to mothers and babies. Maclyn Arbuckle travels to Minneapolis amid a brutal blizzard, dies of exposure, and is humorously misadventured at cremation where a voice complains about the heat and an open door.
Theodore Rousseau recalls as a boy in Nashville a negro cook pressed her husband for a trip to Lebanon for a colored celebration. The overlong train ride halted repeatedly and returned to Nashville, leaving the wife furious and shouting that next time she must go somewhere. The Journal Office prints a 10 cent receipt book offer.
