When Maurice Maschke does not want to see some one, he just dictates a letter. Mr. Maschke dictated to Candidate Willis: ". . . All men who expect to be nominated for office on the Republican ticket here this fall, and the organization, almost to a unit, believe that our local political interests can best be advanced through nominating Mr. Hoover...
Flood Control. Last week, not quite one year after the beginning of the most enormous peacetime calamity in U. S. history, residents of the Mississippi Basin, looking northward, saw millions of acres of snow that would soon melt and incalculable clouds of rain that would soon fall. Winter had come and spring was not far behind. The peace of the public mind was not promoted during the week by an address to the third annual Midwest Power Conference, in Chicago, by Major-General Edgar Jadwin.

They contain milk sugar, starch, capsicum (pepper) and a minute amount of ipecac-a useless and fake dope against alcoholism, declares the American Medical Association...
...opens the latest issue of the Lampoon in his customary mood of funmaking, the content of the paper is harmlessness itself. If there be any who are not acquainted with the traditional undergraduate attitude, they may be shocked to find the Lampoon, far from grateful for the manna let fall by heaven in the lean weeks between Christmas and Saint Patrick's Day, snarling at the generous hand. The consequences of such misinterpretation would not, however, be great. The only possible tragedy resulting would be that of one who took seriously what is clearly humor...
