A discussion on male conceit as a driving evolutionary trait, noting humility in lovers versus husbands. It explores how women flatter men to gain advantage, how self-satisfaction fuels success, and how women have encouraged conceit by praising successful, conceited men who become husbands and fathers.
The article traces money from animal skins to leather currency and cattle wealth. It notes skins as early exchange, leather money in Rome and Carthage, and Peter the Great era in Russia. It explains linguistic roots such as pecunia and capital linked to cattle, and cites oxen as principal wealth among the Zulus and Kaffirs.
A compilation notes 1816 as the year without a summer with freezing May and frost in March and April. It then shifts to a meditation on when the mind thinks best, arguing the time of day matters little if the mind is rested. It concludes with a brief mention of Northern Rhodesia as a field study area for human geography observations.
Arrangements between North Dakota horse breeders and New York farmers supply work horses direct from the Sioux land, bypassing middlemen and calpers. A Cortland auction averaged $165 per head, pleasing both sides, with fifteen carloads more consigned for rapid delivery as demand warrants.
Cedar County farmers increasingly adopt the soy bean as a valuable hog feed adjunct. After trial in 1919 under the county agent and Farm Bureau seed distribution, its use has grown yearly. This season cheaper seed and wider recognition predict a much larger acreage than last year.
A witty quip frames marriage as a math puzzle noting that one plus one becomes a union and one plus one becomes a financial burden of alimony. The line plays on numbers to highlight domestic economics.

The report urges more participation to reach the five hundred mark next Sunday as the Ladies lead the rush.
A “music special” led by Mr. Tebow drew a full audience as solos and choruses pleased all. Next Sunday at 10:30 the Methodist minister will discuss Baptism with an extensive Bible reading. Ev.
