Friday, April 17, 1914. Budweiser praising Bismarck. Emmer Breakfast Food.

There was a terrible death in the jail of a man accused, seemingly with reason, of improper actions towards his adopted daughter.  Interestingly, maybe, based on the old statutes we recently put up, he would have been guilty of three crimes at the time, as opposed to one now, that one also being a crime then.

Perhaps a bit more remarkable, he appears to have been dead for hours when discovered to be so.

All that is interesting, but it's actually the following advertisement for Budweiser that caused me to link in this issue:


This was 1914.  Soon the world would be at war.  Bismarck probably didn't receive such high marks after that.
