In 1926 Angels Campers, grateful for their town's only fame, instituted an annual International Championship Standing Broad Jump for Frogs to honor Mark Twain and to have fun.

It was Mr. Baker's job to build up this prince of commercial banks; it is the task of his less imaginative and more conservative successors to maintain it. Outside of the First National...
