A letter contrasts a Chicago mail order house declaring a 20 percent special dividend with local merchants. It argues home merchants reinvest locally, supporting streets, schools, churches, and charities, while mail order profits flow away. It urges readers to use local shops and reject mail order catalogs.
A humorous column notes spring fever sweeping Van Buren as milder weather arrives. Prominent residents are mentioned as victims while birds debate worm partnerships and lawn care rises to the forefront. The piece contrasts youth and old age hopes and hints at seasonal distractions.
In a rambling Van Buren column, humor and local chatter mix with political snipes and a mock detective segment. The piece riffs on ex Kaiser fate, McAdoo, Burleson, and Wilson era tropes, interlaced with poems, songs, and spoof notes from local cops and citizens. It ends by promoting Dean's Kidney Pills to readers.
