...fence lines with color, but nowhere bloomed a fairer flower for Hoosier politicians to gaze upon than their radiantly handsome master, Paul Vories McNutt, returning home to do some hoeing in his own back row. For Paul McNutt's Presidential hopes, carefully nursed through many a long winter, were at last up knee-high with the corn...
...Indianapolis, McNutt-for-President headquarters in the Claypool Hotel have been humming since last winter, in constant touch with the High Commissioner to the Philippines in Manila. That office and Paul McNutt's friends were ready with an efficiently stage-managed homecoming celebration. The timing was just about perfect.

Paron Gilbert will write, Christian Herald will print serially, and Harpers will publish in toto next...
European storks migrate to Africa for the winter and many come back year after year to the same nests in northern Europe. How they or any other migratory birds find their way across untracked stretches of land and water, naturalists do not know. One guess is that they are sensitive to the earth's magnetic field, use it for guidance as an airplane pilot uses a radio beam...
