...along the West Coast, hunger was South America's own preoccupation. Pointing up the irony West Coast people saw in Herbert Hoover's food-hunting trek, a ragged, famished youngster in a Colombian cartoon begged for "a penny, madam, for the poor little European children who are so hungry!" Colombians, crimped by their ever-present transport problem, were forced to fly beef to their upland capital. At first they offered Hoover only coffee; later they considered relinquishing 8,000 tons of wheat promised by Canada. Ecuador, usually short on wheat, had a bumper rice crop...
...September air. He fell to daydreaming . . . on such a smoky afternoon, back home in Indiana, a boy might gaze at a cornfield studded with tattered golden shocks, and see them turn into Indian tepees.

Last week, as gaunt old John T. McCutcheon rounded out his 76th year and laid aside his crayons for good, his Injun Summer was still the most popular cartoon that ever came out of the Midwest.

...pays him $25,000 a year, but it does not ask him to support any policy with which he disagrees. An ardent Roosevelt follower, in 1936 he declined to draw cartoons for pro-Landon editorials. In the final weeks of the campaign, the only Fitz cartoons the P-D carried were innocuous drawings of elephants and donkeys competing. On occasion Fitz has also refused to draw to order for Collier's, for which he has worked on the side since 1925. He turned down one Collier's request-for a cartoon to illustrate an article by Willkie-solely...
