...Presidio in San Francisco, last week draped upon Arizona and then saluted. While the men marched by him, Arizona, little knowing that he had committed "valor under fire," but doubtless remembering many a whack on the behind in the days when he dragged a field gun, rolled a mulish eye at Brigadier-General Frank C. Bolles and mulishly munched carrots...
President Henry Fairfield Osborn and other specialists at the museum examined the tooth with naked eye, microscope and x-rays. It belonged, they decided, to a manlike beast and seemed the first indication that such animals had once existed in what is now the U. S.

It puts them into a new magazine called Bunker's Monthly, 160 pages of eye-easy type. Does Vermont (native state of Calvin Coolidge) fill as many pages each month with readable material of its own efforts? No. Does Iowa (home state of Average American Citizen Roy Lewis Gray) do as well...
