Secretary of Agriculture William M. Jardine recently left Southampton's white-flanneled sands for Emporia, Kan. At Long Island's social capital Mr. Jardine had learned to chitchat, and last week he attended a garden party of some 60 prairie editors who quizzed him on baptism and similar subjects. No religio-infantile authority, Mr. Jardine shifted the conversation to a region where he felt at home-farming, and even then delivered no farm relief oration, but, on the contrary, brought agriculture down to a game as simple as parchesi...

Proceedings against monopolies had often been started before they were actually formed, compelling them to dissolve or change their charters. The most important of these suits was the breaking of the "bread trust," when the Ward Food Products Corporation and National Food Products Corporation were compelled to dissolve...
...inflicting pain. * Last week John Allen Sickel, Manhattan caviar dealer, bet his wife that he could name all the state capitals in the U. S. He won. Curious newspapermen wondered how many other citizens could duplicate Mr. Sickel's feat. TIME readers desirous this week of making bets similar to Mr. Sickel's may settle their bets by consulting p. 9, where all state capitals are listed...
