Naturally, some of our more particular citizens are going to cause you to "chase a jack rabbit" for some of the more obvious errors such as misspelling the name of Justice Robert Lee Bobbitt; placing Lubbock (the Hub of the Plains) below the caprock on the map and failing to show, on the map, that Texas Technological College (third in enrollment in Texas) is at Lubbock; failing to mention El Paso's "garden valley...
...Medical Centre and a $600,000 dispensary for the employes of his family's Southern Pacific Railroad. Like many another philanthropist, he is often accused of giving to circumvent income taxes. Not from proud Edward S. Harkness but from his friends comes the obvious rejoinder that he gives away more of his income than the 15% on which the law allows gift exemptions...

As equivocal as his paternity, Brevity won the Florida Derby in record time, then, odds-on favorite, he ran second in the Kentucky Derby and the Withers. His admirers excused his failures to win by the fact that he was jostled at the start of both races. Winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness was Morton L. Schwartz's Bold Venture. Bold Venture last fortnight retired for the season with...
