...there is one person U. S. War Veterans should cordially dislike, it is Franklin D. Roosevelt, who twice vetoed their Bonus Bill. To persuade them that the President is still their best bet in the White House, National Democratic Chairman Farley last week patched together a Veterans Advisory Committee of Spanish War Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, et al. To head this committee he appointed fat, jovial Louis Arthur ("Louie") Johnson, onetime (1932-33) National Commander of the American Legion. Legionary Johnson is also an Elk, a Shriner, a Mason and an Odd Fellow, all of which sodalities consider...

...appear once more. In 1910 nature has restored the white pine forest: a portable sawmill has been set up and logs are being sledged through the snow to the railroad. By 1915 the hillside is once again bare and deserted. Fifteen years later, in Model No. 7, this twice cut-over hillside is again covered with trees but they are of a lean, weedy variety, fit only for cordwood unless drastic silviculture is practiced...
