...second, the announcement is made that the farmer "is going to dominate the future". In other words: "It is now fairly certain that we are going to take the path which recognizes the farm as our fundamentality and the all-to-be-considered basis of our future policy". Undesirable as this promised condition may be to certain elements of our population, the great majority must look forward to it. History has shown too conclusively that agriculture is the foundation of every strong nation. If the United States is to settle the problem of the ever-increasing city with its parasites...

The thought that we could for a moment rank above the be whiskered beaux that stare at us out of the pictures of yesteryear had never entered our heads; the most we hoped for was the courage to steer a semi-dignified course down the path where they had trod before.

The third act, where Kate "stoops to conquer" was rendered with a most commendable grace and sureness. Percy Foster's "Mr. Hardcastle" was quite free from extravagance; "Tony Lumpkin" (Mr. Clive) and even boisterous "Diggory" (Mr. Johnston) were toned down to the proper key. "Mrs. Hardcastle" was exceptionally well played...
