A fragmentary column reviews a tax tariff debate and farm prices, cites Senator Kenyon and a farmer’s letter, and transitions to history and theory of football. It notes George Washington and Harding era remarks, jealousy psychology, and concludes with origins of football from China to Europe and its contrast with baseball.
New York Oct 29 A sculptor Gertrude Hoyle argues modern figures such as baseball stars can inspire sculpture as much as ancient Greek athletes. A Christy Mathewson statue for Central Park is planned, aided by Miss Boyle who champions living figures and era reflective art over dead legends.
A compendium of reader questions and replies on travel times of the Twentieth Century Limited, U.S. telegraph mileage, Martha Washington sisters, telling directions by watch, Babe Ruth versus Hielman hitting distances, and a note on California towns below sea level with atmospheric pressure details.
The editor comments on President Harding's southern trip calling it a conscientious apology for shifts in party tactics over fifty years. It cites Exodus era policy against African Americans and contrasts it with today’s rhetoric aimed at keeping Black voters, questioning motives during a strike period and southern political shifts.

A narrator recalls a forest felling and a foreman’s claim that the timber will become matches. He muses that even a grand tree can serve noble ends, lighting homes and industry, and urges readers to see their lives as splinters turned into matches for good. He ends with a moral: being cut up for useful ends can grant meaning when used to kindle hope and kindness.
