Local notes on barn accident and town life in 1907
A hay carrier fell from a barn roof injuring Bill's seven year old car. Local tales recount Irish humor over a death news rumor and a custom of giving orphans a quarter. A baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Lou Briggs is reported healthy by Dr. Wallace. Prof. Leroy White visited with his companion at Fort Dodge. Several locals attended the Chatauqua in Goldfield. A ten pound boy arrived to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Buckena on July 4. Titonka’s Indian Day on August 15 drew many Kossuth residents, promising a big year. Recent weeks brought ideal weather boosting crop progress and small grain gains.

Sex Education For The School Child
Thoughtful parents today expect to guide their children's sex education just as they provide play equipment, books, and experiences with music and creative materials. This is an excellent development, for clinics show children need a confidential relationship with parents and a baseline of home guidance built over years. The focus is on attitudes and general principles, not just questions, with books such as Growing Up by Karl de Schweitz and Being Born by Frances Bruce Strain recommended. Prices noted: Growing Up $1.75, Being Born $2.75.
