...will start by discussion for a third per cent ad valorem duty on imported birdseed. Taking the affirmative side will be Tom Heflin, with a birdseye view of the mistake of allowing the Vatican more territory and a motion to prevent Al Smith from building the highest building in New York. Then will be a two weeks' discussion on prohibition, followed by ten days of Arizona Senators denouncing the Boulder Dam. "And by Christmas you won't know whether the birds got any seed or not.'' The prophet, Mr. Will Rogers, was wrong. The tariff bill...

Nearby is the coffin of Mohammed, adorned with 17 golden nails of which the written word says when they fall out all things will come to an end. Of the many relics sanctified to Jews, holiest...
...Paul Bunyan knows no law, it was not surprising that the ceremonies should have been interrupted by one Gunnar Scheftstrom, ex-convict, who held up a Longview merchant, shot him, fled to the forest.
