When well thrown the spit ball appears to rise then drop, making it nearly unhittable and deadly to run protection.

Mitchell audience split as Pawnee Bill show tours town
Pawnee Bill's Wild West and Far East Show performed twice in Mitchell on Wednesday. The first show sold out the tent while the evening crowd was smaller. Audiences compared the act unfavorably to Buffalo Bill citing tame robbery scenes and less impact than expected, though Cossack horseback riding drew some interest and the fast train sequence provided scenic effect.

thrift and time as capital in modern economy
The article argues thrift shifts from material saving to saving time as mechanical progress lowers material costs. It notes examples from Edison’s cheap watch to twine use in the postal service and urges valuing intellectual, social, and family welfare over tiny fabric savings when time is the real scarce resource.
