...showing the effect in lack of growth and poor proportions. Cowboys when driving a herd find the small weak animals in the rear of the herd as they weaken and drop back so that in their songs in speaking of "roll along or git along, little dogies" they refer to the last of the herd commonly called the "drags" which have to be urged to keep up with the herd...
...member of the Bacardi family and as the representative of the company in the U. S. of America, I beg to correct certain statements and comments which you have published. You refer to 16 living grandchildren and their various null as liking to have hand in running the Santiago distillery and say that "as soon as a distributor was certain he had landed the agency, he would discover that another Bacardi was dickering with another distributor."

Yet censorship of a contemptibly petty stamp exists in this University. I refer to the use in certain language courses of texts in which the editors have seen fit to make deletions from the originals. Any one who has compared the authorized edition of Keller's "Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe" with the high school text now used in German 1a can appreciate how the editor of the latter has so subtly and judiciously...
