It critiques protective tariffs, industrial favoritism, and union influence, noting farmers’ organized efforts struggle against central power, with calls for political realignment to protect rural interests. It also touches on historical Anglo American conflict, a country life conference on farm nutrition, and cautious notes on Coolidge politics and kindergartens.

Ancient Solutre burials yield giant Aurignacian skeletons
Scientists report the discovery of three remarkably preserved late Paleolithic skeletons at Solutre in France. The remains, dating 25 000 years, show robust men buried with hands folded over the stomach and V shaped stone beds. Estimated heights range from six feet two inches to six feet nine inches, with skulls showing low foreheads and large square eye sockets. The bodies appear to be young adults aged 24 to 27, possibly killed in battle evidenced by a stone arrowhead in one skull.
