...woods, letting newshawks know that his 560-acre tract adjoining his mother's estate is not a gentleman farmer's operation run at a loss which he can deduct on his income tax return (as suggested by his district's Republican Congressman Hamilton Fish), but a timber operation (cordwood, fence posts, Christmas trees) on which he should realize a small profit. With him on this weekend was Author Emil Ludwig, biographer of the great, whose next subject is Franklin Roosevelt...
...Texas, an "East Dallas Special" is a thin, sharp knife wielded by Negro desperadoes.

Indian Service to get the whole area cut clean in the hope that the Chippewas would take up farming. This plan has now been changed because the Chippewas prefer...
...save its two-year accumulation of timber, International last week did all it could. Lumberjacks wrapped hundreds of feet of steel cable back and forth across the piles of the Nett River Bridge over the Littlefork. Against this dam a log jam 40 feet thick and three miles long formed quickly, booming and groaning with the pressure from back stream. Meanwhile in Duluth and International Falls the toughest bars filled up with other lumberjacks waiting for the flood to subside and their own special job to begin. These were rivermen, skilled riders and drivers of logs. About 200 of them...
