Miss Blanchard battles a prairie fire with a tethered hope in John Mallory and a hoped for rescue. Fire roars, rain cools the flames, and the couple reunites as the schoolhouse narrowly survives.
A vestry member cites a church umbrella tale to show advertising success. An ad claiming a found umbrella at the vestibule led to multiple returns, with notes asking the writer to overlook the matter. The Philadelphia Record reports the tale as evidence of clever ad tactics.
A survey of old notes covers the cause of green oysters linked to copper content, a joke on naval law versus international law, and a discussion of pruning a peach orchard. It details pruning methods, tree form choices, and when to cut to balance fruiting with wood growth. It also touches on South Dakota plum and cherry root advice, and root-killing prevention.
