Legal notice of public auction by the Chancery Court of Hempstead County in a case between Federal Land Bank of St Louis and Higgason et al. The property, 170 acres in total in sections 25 and 36, is offered on March 6, 1933 at the county courthouse. Terms require a three month credit bond with 8 percent interest and secured payment.

A Florida tale from December 1938 recounts a maiden lady naming gifts in her will: 3002 dollars to the art muse, 1000 to a nephew, 1000 to YooW.

The lawyer reports to his wife that she cut off the art muse and library, a playful twist leading to nerves and a late phone call. Florida gas rules show 1,000,400 gallons more than December 1937.

The piece notes English talent adapting to Hollywood norms, the quota era, and the hope that cross‑pollination improves films on both sides.
