No single clear news item in chaotic notes
A string of dated, aphoristic lines covers weather, politics, society, and daily life. It references dry spells for farmers, a Madison Square Garden Democratic meeting, romance and marriage, campaigning with steam whistles, pedestrian caution, self-reliance, football prep, nature versus paint, lemon demand for fall politics, vacation cash need, busy advice givers, fashion ambitions, bootlegging humor, and radio lateness with proposed morning features.
