The Home Circle section bids readers a Happy New Year and reflects on 1913 with mixed memories. It expresses wishes for better days, noble acts, and gratitude for reader support as the department closes its 1913 work and looks to 1914.
New shelves welcome Wallatill Baxter by Kate Douglas Wiggin, a homely New England tale with a scheming deacon and two daughters.

Fragmentary note mentions Mike Flatley urging sales of unused items and offering to handle junk disposal for a fee. It also references pruning grapes and delaying planting until after freezing. The text is garbled and lacks clear dates or locations but suggests a local sale or auction context.
New York December 29. The One-Price-To-All system is praised in a report by Secretary of Commerce Redfield, highlighted by Edmond A. Whittier of the American Fair Trade League. The group argues fixed national prices curb fraud and high living costs, urging laws to ensure fair competition and protect consumers from discounting tactics and deceptive advertising. The piece notes editors and citizens support eliminating price-cutting schemes and promoting honest brand pricing. It ends urging water for sheep in hot weather.
A Philadelphia Ledger piece rails at tariff changes, noting duties cut to a penny and new 185 percent tariff in Mexico, while arguing free trade with the Philippines boosted U.S. cotton goods sales there. It contrasts barriers removed with easier access for foreign buyers and cites 1909–1913 free trade with the Philippines and a U.S. presence on Calicos and cotton fabrics. The section blends tariff opinion with weather and legal notices, then digresses into farm notes and local tidbits.
