A large box of live frogs arrived at Indiana University this week. Students show interest in politics and football, delaying teaching until after November 3. Professors plan to train the frogs to leap or operate a telegraph-like typesetting device, while staff attend a fair and discuss a new federal building and courthouse yard changes.
Local column reports a house warming at A Moats, new owner Felix Lantz purchasing the Allen Brassfield place, and town gossip on Democratic factions, Taft Bryan jokes, and a Peruna agency. Laughs mix with notes on weather, headaches, mushrooms, and a prize fair with free shows and horse racing.
