...tune with ancient tradition Lord Hugh was installed last week in the presence of the genial and patriarchal Dean of Windsor representing King Edward VIII, Eton's Fellows, scholarly Eton Headmaster Claude Aurelius ('The Emperor") Elliott, and 1,100 top-hatted Etonians.

In the Western half cotton conditions had gone from bad to worse. In August Oklahoma had only one twenty-fifth of its normal rainfall. That cut 226,000 bales off its estimated production. Texas, which normally produces one out of every three bales, had less than half a normal August's rain. That cut off 814,000 bales. Other Western states accounted for the rest...
