...tenant on Friend Butte's farm near Johnstown, Ohio, was desolated by the death of a valuable prize sow on August 16," explained Dr. Mather to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. "Determined to give the sow a decent buried, he carried its carcass to a swamp in one corner of the property and began to dig a grave. A few feet below the surface, he struck a hard substance with his shovel. Temporarily diverted, he cleared away the soil from the hard substance and discovered a giant ivory tusk...
During his absence, Friend Butte, who owned the swamp where his tenant had started the sow's obsequies, claimed the huge skeleton which was being excavated. In a brief legal action, he obtained possession and promptly sold the find to Max Hirschberg, a Newark, Ohio, business man, for $5,000 cash...
...wall. It is similarly eloquent of Nature, similarly unobtrusive, hardy and humbly fair to behold. It is the story of a Kentucky hill child, Ellen Chesser, groping instinctively through a scrawny, vagabond adolescence, with no attention from her roaming, horse-swapping, white-trash parents.

Before you leave town you will know that you have visited one of the country's model communities. You will understand...
Wallpaper. The landlord who let his tenant select her own wallpaper, the homeowner who fidgeted while his white-overalled paperhanger butted the paper like a crazy-quilt, the rural housewife who hung her own−they spent $40,000,000 last year, bought 350,000,000 rolls, kept more than 40 U. S. wallpaper manufactories busy. The Wallpaper Manufacturers of America last week noted that this was more than the 323,000,000 rolls of $34,755,000 value...
