...very conservative, and the one who keeps to his horses will rail against the one who uses a tractor as an innovator and an idiot, but he will usually buy a tractor himself eventually, and then look down on the poor benighted heathen who uses horses. Consistency does not bother him as it does the upper class conservative. So if the new colony can live, love, and prosper without interference and with reasonable good fortune for any length of time, it should be an immense factor for good. The results will not be startling, or even immediately observable, but they...
...have wondered what earthly interest was to be found in listening to the queer little buzzings that were heard. Suppose that these little buzzings did convey some kind of a message, what of it?

Vernon Stiles. "Our Own American can Tenor," sang a number of classical pieces...

"Charley" O'Hearn, fooaball star for Exeter and Yale, who was reported out of the game with water on the knee, will start today and may be expected to bother the University yearlings with shifty dashes down the ice, for which he has gained a well-earned reputation. He has more speed and ability than any man whom the Crimson has faced this year, and in the scrimmage with the Yale University team in the Arena yesterday showed...
