...down to Hay Market Plaza, bought 15? portions of tamales, enchiladas, chili, tortillas and hot sauce. Guitar-playing troubadors in flaring red ties strummed and hummed La Cucaracha, La Golondrina, El Rancho Grande, and the resurrected Queens (aged 17 to 70) did a booming business at their red and green tables on the Plaza. There was one innovation. Mayor Maverick insisted that the Queens be clean...
Last week Indiana's soil, as distinct from its station platforms, was dotted with shocks of new-cut wheat. Young green corn was two to three feet high, and high-legged hogs stood up to their chocolate-colored rumps in lush, weedy meadows. Wild hollyhocks and roses splashed the fence lines with color, but nowhere bloomed a fairer flower for Hoosier politicians to gaze upon than their radiantly handsome master, Paul Vories McNutt, returning home to do some hoeing in his own back row.

Scoring is similar to that of horseshoes. Sets (four pairs of bowls...
Scarring the green breast of one of the fields on Motormaker Henry Ford's "Fairlane" estate near Detroit is a 60-foot plowed furrow. Around it Ford workmen have built a fence. Over it they have laid a tarpaulin. Why this has been done no Ford employe knows for sure, but most could hazard a sound guess: the furrow is to be preserved for posterity to look at; it will be included in the intriguing mass of Ford memorabilia which includes Luther Burbank's shovel (thrust into a block of concrete), a reproduction of the hole...
