Register-Tribune. Of all the potent young men of Iowa, none is more potent than John Cowles, Harvard '21. He frees his father of all the heavy work connected with publishing the Des Moines Register & Evening Tribune.

Poetry being essentially a personal thing, none may credit nor gainsay Novelist Ford's estimate of Poet Pound. As criticism it is a foolish phrase. But it is certain that Ezra Pound is ... a poet that doth drink life As lesser men drink wine. He has been mad through the mountains of Cabaret with Peire Vidal...
