Czech President Masaryk Taught Attention Key To Wisdom
A portrait of Thomas G. Masaryk, Czech president since 1918, as a teacher of practical philosophy at Prague University. The piece emphasizes his doctrine that wisdom comes from observation, his democratic teaching style, and his belief in action over boastful patriotism. It notes his last Cedar Rapids visit in 1907 and outlines his ongoing reelection in 1927.

Sacred Lily of India Reaches Marion Home
A seven foot sacred lily of India owned by Mrs. F B Cornelius at 1265 Twelfth Street grew rapidly after Jan 20. The bulb, gifted by her sister, bloomed only after four years and emits a dead fish odor when wilting. Native Indians avoid touching it. In spring it will shade a four foot leaf in the garden.
