The machine’s ten minute bushel speed boosts productivity, enabling vast western wheat growth and new wealth, with implications for American prosperity and industrial expansion. A separate anecdote recalls a Leeds nurse’s joke saving a pneumonia patient.
A New York physician's wife, teaching a Sunday school class for young boys, finishes Joseph and his coat of many colors and asks for questions. Sammy Westwood asks for a ride in her automobile, a request not answered at the moment but noted for the record in the New York Times.
The saying there’ll be the devil to pay traces to shipyards where calking a deck used oakum and pitch. Pouring pitch into the outside seam was called paying, making the term relate to sealing the sea between planks.
