...political reason as the Democratic flood continues unabated. Power is a headler potion than alcohol and morning after headaches more certain and severe. To the philosophic observer his recent remarks savor of disillusion as one who reluctantly must lay aside cherished dreams to achieve bread and butter. Perhaps it is realized that the Brain Trusters' panaceas may precipitate an industrial crash that will beggar the recent banking collapse unless the New Dealers secure the cooperation and help of practical business men. Platitudes and generalities will no longer suffice. Action not words is needed...
Happy over the confidence placed in an insane man like himself, Hugh Foye took great pains with the hard sauce he mixed last week for the staff and patients of the Danvers (Mass.) State Hospital.

They know that when hens are not well fed in the great egg districts of the Midwest they seldom lay eggs. And even a well-fed hen dislikes to lay eggs in very hot weather. What most amateur speculators do not know is that the leading trading medium is October eggs, which were all laid in March, April and May?before the drought seriously affected production. There are 9,000,000 cases...
