Overhead crossing likely ordered on Minneapolis St. Louis line
Investigators reported to the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad crossing on Robert Street near J I Johnston’s home is under study. City officials favored the overhead crossing, railroad officials opposed it for now, and a decision is expected soon. The plan lowers the grade two feet, easing the height to match embankments, with the railroad already drafting such crossings. The current crossing is considered the city’s most dangerous. Lent teachings are discussed, contrasting self denial with ongoing Christian duty and fasting practices through history.

Mortgages Show Farm Prosperity Across States
A Farm and Fireside article cites Judeon C. Welliver and Congressman Helvering, noting that states with higher mortgage debt tend to be more prosperous. The South, with Georgia Alabama Louisiana and Mississippi carrying about 43 million in farm mortgages, contrasts with Wisconsin’s much larger burden yet strong farming prosperity. Iowa’s mortgage debt is about double the combined debt of eleven Southern States, while tenant versus proprietor farming patterns align with mortgage levels. A rental notice appears for a farm site with garden space in Prairie side, seeking a tenant.
