Cards of Thanks and Help Wanted Notices
A dense patch of 1918-era local notices extends thanks to friends for illness and death, then a flood of help wanted ads for toolmakers, salesmen, house staff, and general labor. Listings include pay ranges, duties, and contact details, with other public notices and poetry-like gratitude lines interspersed. The page sketches wartime employment drive and civic thanks from families and organizations.
For Sale Miscellaneous and Real Estate Items
A garbled sale listing covers boats, livestock, furniture, pianos, stoves, and a large Real Estate section. Notable items include a 18 month old Durco boat, Duroc Jersey boars, a Conover piano, a West Fifth stove, a refrigerator, and several houses and farms for sale or rent plus land prospects in Minnesota Michigan and nearby areas. Includes prices, contact names, and telephone references.

Arctic Drift: Amundsen and Storkerson Head for Siberian Islands
Two Arctic explorers Ronald Amundsen and Storkerson drift on ice packs from opposite sides, aiming for the New Siberian Islands off Siberia. Currents may carry Amundsen eastward toward the Lena region while Storkerson moves west toward Alaska, with both seeking new lands and possible routes to civilization. Stefansson notes Storkerson’s daring, camped on the ice with five men and no ship, living off the pack as they drift toward next year’s landfall.

Pine Trees Mowed Down for Timbers to Construct Ships
Pine trees with bird nests last spring are being cut into ships for grain cargoes to Europe. The Ferris ship needs about 2 million feet of lumber, the Daugherty about 4.5 million feet, clearing thousands of acres of pine. Two dozen vessels have launched in Beaumont, Orange, and Houston. Orange alone will claim over 100,000 acres of forest. Shipyards from Beaumont to Mobile will consume millions more acres. The Emergency Fleet Corporation has contracted all available timber. Beaumont hosts a major lumber yard on 51 acres. Louisiana and Texas combined would exceed prior output if labor and mills ran at full capacity.

Passing Delusion by Cecille Langdon
In 1918 a tale follows Vigla Clare and her father John Clare spiraling into delusion, with imagined Napoleon Bonaparte claiming reality. Milton Ross and Ned Danvers plot drastic therapy via staged movie scenarios to shake the mind back toward common sense. A staged court and exile sequence ends with the father’s return to sanity as Viola watches.
