...further evidence of your "unadmired" Senator's popularity, may I say that TIME Magazine, other magazines, and all of the newspapers of the U. S., always considered, and rightly so, that the late Senator Bronson M. Cutting was one of the most powerful, influential, beloved, and "admired" citizens of the State of New Mexico, and in 1928 Senator Cutting was elected as a Republican U. S. Senator by an overwhelming majority of something around 30,000 votes. In 1934, when TIME Magazine's "unadmired" Senator Chavez ran against Senator Bronson M. Cutting for a seat...
...Bonne Bay, Newfoundland. Not since he and his cousin Gracie Hall Roosevelt went there in 1908 had he fished for salmon in the gorge of Newfoundland's Humber River. Water and weather were perfect but Fisherman Roosevelt landed no salmon after trying all day. Brigadier General Edwin M.

Winning "hoss" races is nothing new to Doc Parshall. A comparative youngster at a job where 20 years' experience is a major requirement, he has been the No. 1 U. S. harness-racing driver for eleven of the past twelve years, has won 763 first places since 1925 (including the Hambletonian twice), has never raced without a kitchen match in his mouth...

Forster: "I cannot believe that Christianity will ever cope with the present world-wide mess, and I think that such influence as it retains in modern society is due to its financial backing rather than to its spiritual appeal. It was a spiritual force once, but the indwelling spirit will have to be restated if it is to calm the waters again, and probably restated in a non-Christian form...
