H L Mencken argues Edward VIII broke the explicit royal contract by seeking to marry Wallis Simpson. He notes the king cannot wed a divorced American, must uphold public duties, and face the moral mores of Britain, which demand adherence to established rules.

Landmark library of Kansas began with Vinland girls in 1859
The Coal Creek library, Kansas’s first public library, started in 1859 when Anna Soule and Martha Cutter formed a literary society to curb dancing and fund books. They held biweekly meetings on Cutter land, raised money via a supper and dues, sent for Philadelphia books, and eventually moved libraries to Grange hall and then a one room building. Anna Soulouse, a relative of the present librarian, helped decorate Kansas’s first Christmas tree in 1862, and Vinland now retains its historic name from the first grape vines brought by Barnes’ Nursery.
