ALLENBY TO THE RESCUE! HOBBY-HORSES in the Jordan Valley, hobbled in the Plain of Jericho! Make-believe horses, put together of sticks and canvas, hitched in long rows on either side of drinking-troughs to deceive the Turks and their instructors, the Germans! Dummy camps and dummy tents; mules drawing heavy drags around at random to make a big dust... continued

Iowa on the Rampage

Flapper — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:12:20 +0000

Unrest in Iowa WE think of Iowa as one of the conservative States of the Union, much more so than Nebraska or Kansas, for example. Just now there is probably more reasonable as well as unreasonable unrest in Iowa than anywhere else in the central part of the country.

Problems with doing business in Europe RADICALISM is rebellion against the golden (capitalist) rule. How strange that the golden rule, which means to us the rule for man’s best conduct, may be used by some to mean the hated rule of gold or capitalism. One means fraternal good will, the other tyranny. The world is full of strange contradiction... continued
