...farmers who had come to town for the annual Farmers' Union munched hot dogs or cones and stood on their feet with their hands in their pockets. Their wives, many with yowling babies in arm, soon strolled away from the platform. The voice of Mr. Reed sounded incongruously vehement in the placid, warm afternoon, but the farmers and press correspondents (who were sitting just below the speakers' stand) listened carefully. Said Senator Reed: "Some of you farmers think agriculture is sick. Drs. Coolidge and Hoover, however, assured us the entire country is prosperous. If this species of absent...
...have been interested in reading the letters exchanged through your pages by vehement supporters of Ohio and West Virginia. In the interest of fair play, although an Ohioan I wish to take exception to the letter of George Zweiger (TIME, Feb. 28) in which he referred to West Virginia as "Ohio's coal bin."

Dr. Macartney announced that he was resigning his pastorate of Arch Street Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, to become pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh.

...liked to own that she laced tightly, or that she wore a 'board,' as it was a tacit admission that her figure could not bear unaided the test of the Empire dress; consequently, brother's remarks would be received by his young friends with an injure! air, and a vehement protest against such a false accusation. Brother would then test their truth by dropping his handkerchief and requesting them to pick it up; if they wore a 'board' stooping would be impossible, or, at all events, very difficult. The ordeal would cover them with confusion, when the philosopher...
