...whole profession has changed a great deal since my days. When I took the crown from Sullivan the whole purse went to the winner, and as it was Sullivan didn't get a cent, not even for, his training expenses. In Dempsey's last fight he got $300,000 regardless of whether he won or not. Fight like that takes all the incentive away. It made very little difference to him whether he won or lost. Believe me when I got into the ring with Sullivan I fought like a fool because it either would make or break...
...Protestant controlled and heretical Young Men's Christian Association on Catholic youths. I base my warning on the Pope's decree dated Nov. 5, 1920. The Y. M. C. A. is neither Polish nor Catholic. It is supported by Protestants and heretics and anyone who gives a cent to this institution is harming the Church and Polish youth. We can not give our Catholic youth to this American heresy, born and bred of Protestant propaganda, which is now being spread over the whole world...
EVERY AMERICAN, whether of the hundred per cent or the more ebullient one half of one per cent variety, complacently believes in his own capacity for withstanding any exhibition of himself "as others see" him.

That his indictment of us in the flesh is based on what he would admit to be hear-say evidence is perhaps the kindest thing that can be said...
...Nearly all of the elements that determine the agricultural status of any section of the country forecast to us that New England, as an agricultural district, is very productive and has a very efficient farm system. Throughout the United States as a whole, 40 per cent of the land now farmed is farmed by land tenants. That is, only 60 per cent of the men in the country who own land, do their own farming on it. This, indeed, is a very low percentage for any country hoping for agricultural advancement. However, of the 160,000 farms in New England...
Prognosticating the prospects for the coming year, in the agricultural world, Secretary Jardine said, "According to the expected crop of all grains, and other agricultural products, the year 1927 promises to be far above normal. Next year, eight per cent more land will be planted in corn than was planted this year, and there will be an increase of six per cent in acreage of land planted in wheat. Also, next year, there will be a decrease of over 6,000,000 acres in land planted with cotton. This will be of benefit to the entire country...
