...must last week have heard strange sounds and subversive doctrine. For, attending a farmers' meeting at Ardmore, S. Dak., the President listened while Democratic Governor Bulow of South Dakota assailed the Republican tariff. The Governor, tall, lean, ruddy complexioned, with a long, thin face and rather a dominating nose, maintained that farmers must be given fair treatment if "this country is to long survive." Governor Bulow felt that if the "discriminatory" tariff were not remedied, the farmer would have to be given assistance in the form of "artificial price-fixing."

Circling in a close triad formation while the plane of honor landed, Lieutenant Johnson confused the ship beside him, which ticked his tail, throwing him into a nose dive.

A portraitist who could block out, build up, polish and accent an oil masterpiece in one sitting, with never...

TIME thrills me as a sensational airplane ride, with its gyrations, its quick twists and turns and glides-nose-dive, falling leaf, swallow flight, tail spin, loop-the-loop-would thrill and chill a landlubber. It impresses the reader (now the writer) as an extended straight-classical program of music-quite heavy for a mediocre audience. However, once a person is accustomed to TIME, he cannot help feel when...
