Although much of the paper is about the happenings across the oceans, there is still room for some news about home. These articles fall under their respective sections, the news articles about the nation, Real estate, and general local news. In regards to the news of today, it does not seem what our focus in news has changed all that much.
In the national news you find articles about workers wages and newly acquired benefits in a few states. Also the work of women and the extra attention they are getting when it comes to the workplace is briefly mentioned. Child labor laws are also mentioned and how they are being strengthened in states across the nation.

looking houses fill the section. The look of high-priced living at affordability is stressed with some of these homes. The houses are nice looking even when compared to today's standards.
The news covered locally has not changed much over the last ninety years. Local events, show times, and just the general happenings around the city are featured in the articles.
