Strange War Surgery Report From Dr Schwartz Chest Wound
A comical yet grim field hospital report describes Dr T B Schwartz at Field Hospital 12 treating Pvt. in a chest wound caused by a Swazant canz shell. A song book in his pocket became a projectile, revealing hymn names and numbers as the device fractured the chest. The account mixes clinical procedure with absurd imagery.

Local notes on Miss Muslang visit and county fair plans
Miss Anna Muslang of Chicago arrived Tuesday evening for an extended visit with Boye Diedaman and family. Misa Fulsang is sister of John Fulsang, a soldier who died in France. Several local businesses close early evenings. Remember the Kossuth County Fair September 1-5, 1919 with an aviator from the county. Survey work on the Ban Croft to Titonka road may precede new gravelling law. Many residents visit relatives in Ringsted and Forest City. A baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Iden. A heavy rain fell Tuesday night. Notice— painting services offered by Miller Bros.
