A Texas newspaper ridicules Senator Bingham by noting unbecoming conduct and shows how, as Christmas nears, lobbying runs across Congress. A robber in Santa disguise strikes a Texas bank while a Chicago paper headlines a man who killed his wife and then himself, blaming neither the stock market.
Twenty five years ago Mrs. Joe G. Gibson hosts a Nashville visitor. A marriage occurred at the Lowthorp home on December twentieth, 1904, James Gomim and Birdie Wylie wed with Rev. A. M.

Araws of handwritten requests from Buckner and nearby Arkansas towns by children ranging in age from six to twelve.

The Kansas City Star criticizes Senator George H. Moses for calling Westerners "sons of wild jackasses" and argues that while New England industries benefited from tariffs, the West bore higher living costs.

A insurgent coalition in the Senate is likely to persist through Hoover’s first term, sometimes opposing the administration yet backing measures aligned with popular sentiment.
