Abstract
A February 5 issue from an unspecified year of the Nelson brothers' periodical featuring stories from around their imaginary world. The front page indicates the periodical was "published by W.R. Nelson." Beginning this issue, presented in a two-column format, is chapter 3 of the story "An Adventure on New Poplington," by Walter Nelson. After being shipwrecked, Joe is able to scavenge a small boat from the wreckage and make his way back to General Allen's vessel and report for duty. The boys column instructs readers on the construction of a snowball cannon. Following this is the news section covering news and developments from around the Nelson brothers' imaginary world including New Poplington, United Division, Chipewa and others. "What I saw of the Battles of Poplington" is an account by Burt Green (sometimes referred to as Birt) of his facing Ethan Allen and the army of Big Continent. The final pages feature advertisements for several fictitious companies.
