Not a dreaming, unsuccessful lawyer, but a man with a profitable and impor tant law practice, important enough to associate with Clarence Darrow at one time. A busy man of com merce who became a writer of songs and poems, sonnets, essays and drama! Edgar Lee Masters was born in the little town of Garnett, Kan., in 1868. His father was a descendant of old Virginia stock his mother, the daughter of a Methodist minister and descendant of Israel Putnam of American Revolutionary fame. The family moved to Petersburg, Ill., and later to Lewistown, where Ed gar was raised in the typically re spectable atmosphere of small town America. He did newspaper work for the local weekly, learned the printing trade, and studied law under his father, who was one of the leading lawyers in the state. In 1891 Ed gar Lee Masters was admitted to the bar and practiced in partnership with his father. The following year he opened his own office in Chicago where he was a highly successful lawyer until 1920. But even in. high school, Edgar Lee Masters was interested in writ ing and he never forgot his am bitions. He contributed to the Wa verly Magazine of Boston and the Saturday Evening Call of Peoria he wrote poems for a Chicago news paper. His first book, published in 1898, while he was struggling to es tablish a practice in Chicago, was called eimply “A Book of Verses.” “Songs and Sonnets” followed, but none of them attracted much at tention until his “Spoon 1-liver An thology” was published in 1915. Po ems, stories and philosophy fol lowed rapidly.

A Unique President ONE hundred and fifty years ago this month occurred the birth of a boy who was destined to be unique in ‘our presidential history. He whs James Buchanan, born April 21, 1791, in Cove Gap, near Mer cersburg, Pa., and he became the only native of the Keystone state to reach the White House and our only “bachelor President.” Young Buchanan practiced law in Lancaster, Pa., after his graduation from Dickinson college and in 1814 he was elected to the Pennsylvania legislature. Seven years later the Federalist party sent him to con gress and he served there for 10 years. During this period of his ca reer occurred the incident which made him a confirmed bachelor. He became engaged to Ann Cole man of Lancaster but her father dis approved of the match. So when Buchanan went to Philadelphia to try a case, the elder Coleman in tercepted the letters that passed between his daughter and the young attorney and persuaded her that Buchanan’s long silence meant he was no longer interested in her. Meanwhile, gossips had brought Buchanan the pews that Ann was engaged to another man. When Buchanan called at her home, he was received coldly by Robert Cole man, who confirmed the gossip, while Ann stood beside her father without uttering a word of denial. Later Buchanan wrote her a letter demanding that fhe return his let ters and any other keepsakes he had given her, which she did. The next day she went to Philadel phia to visit relatives and there, a -f':/ ..." JAMES BUCHANAN short time later, she died, presum ably of a broken heart. One roman tic version of the story has it that she took an overdose of laudunum and was found 'dead with a keep sake of her lover clutched in her hand. Whatever the cause of her death, Buchanan apparently was crushed by his i blighted romance and took a vow-never, to marry. In 1832 Buchanan* was appointed minister to Russia and he is credit ed with having made the first Amer ican commercial treaty with that country. Upon his return, he was elected to the United States senate and, twice re-elected, he served there until 1845 when he was named secretary of state in the cabinet of President James K. Polk. In 1853 President Franldur Pierce appointed him minister to*Great Britain. He was accompanNB to London by his favorite niece, Harriet Lane, whom he had adopted after the death of her parents and upon whom he lavished all the love that had been thwarted by his loss of Ann Cole man. By the time he returned from Eng land in 1856, the Democratic party was badly split over the slavery is sue and eager for a compromise candidate. They found one in Bu chanan and in the campaign of 1856 he was elected over Gen. John C. Fremont, the nominee of the new Republican party. Buchanan was a statesman of the old school, who, according to one historian, “could make a good cam paign speech, laying stress upon the unimportant and glancing at impor tant matters evasively, solemnly and impressively.” So it is not sur prising that he should have avoided any decisive action when the seces sion crisis came. But despite that fact, when he left office on March 4, 1861, it was clearly apparent that what he once called “disunion, that worst and last of all political calami ties” was inevitable. Buchanan died June 1, 1868, but he lived long enough to see averted that very dis union which he had feared and had done so little to prevent. Harriet Lane was Buchanan’s of ficial hostess during his stay in the White House and helped him enter tain the prince of Wales when he visited this country in 1860. Years later the “Golden Beauty of the White House,” now Mrs. Elliott Johnson, a widow, received a spe cial invitation to go to London and see the prince crowned King Ed ward VII of England. Before her death in 1903 she left a fund of $100,000 for a statue of her uncle in Washington. It was unveiled by President Hoover in 1928. When American troops went into Iceland, a corps of veterinarians ac companied them. The doctors have been one of the busiest corps in that army while attempting to bring un der control animal diseases which are communicable to human beings. The secret of success is a secret to most people. er./0 pasture land on the Sussex Downs. Th^ Blufftnn Nen’/t presewts another in the series of lesser known aspects' of South Amer ica.—Editor. Surpassed in thte Western Hemis phere only by New York and Chi cago, Buenos Aires, the largest city in the world south of the Equator, is often called the Paris of the Americas. Jules Romains, the well known French writer, believes that “as one travels down the eastern coast of South America from Brazil to Buenos Aires, one actually gets the illusion of approaching nearer and nearer to France.” The Capital itself, with its tem perate climate, its beautiful avenues, the interest of its people in cultural and intellectual subjects, is in many respects a replica of the great French metropolis. Buenos Aires is laid out on the checkerboard plan, the streets inter secting at right angles. At the end of the 19tfr Century many splendid public buildings were erected and narrow streets were replaced by parks, squares and wide tree-lined avenues not unlike Parisian boule vards, the model of most South American urbanists Buenos Aires, Argentine Capital, Is Known As Paris Of Americas One of the boulevards, the Aven ida de Mayo, is in a way the back bone of the great city, terminated at one end by the National Capitol and at the other by the Presidential Palace colled the “Casa Rosada”, the Pink House. The Avenida Alvear another wide 1 avenue lined with trees, passes thru a' number of beautiful parks and leads to the polo grounds and the race-track, while the Paseo de la Recoleta is graced with the monu ment to General Alvear, a master piece by the great ^French sculptor Bourdelle. Beautiful among the gardens and parks of Buenos Aires, the principal promenade, Palermo Park, is a favor ite spot-for riding in early morning or for rowing on the lagoon so like that of Paris’ Bois de Boulogne. The shops, too, are a constant re minder of those of Paris: French imports before the war, and now a long tradition of French influence gives the merchandise a style of its own, and if one reaches these stores In Ohio’s 1,200 industrial war plants, there are 76,000 absent work ers on an average day. Plant oper ators declare they will need 10,000 more workers during the remainder of the year to maintain scheduled production. Don't Skimp ... But Save! Sometimes we confuse skimp ing with saving.

Record Harvest THE MILLIONS OF ADDITIONAL ACRES of British farmland brought under the plow in the four years of war, have resulted this year in the harvesting of 12y percent more grain than last year. This means that British larmera—and victory gardeners—have produced more than two-thirds of Britain’s food needs. This cbmpares dra matically with the situetion before the war, when two-thirds of Britain’s food had to be imported. This result has been achieved with the help of the Women's Land Army, of whom more than 80,000 are now mobilized and work I Aditonal by Ot 'rt P,ctured above harvesting Britain's biggest wheatfield, which was formerly either by a subway very similar to the “Metro” of Paris or by means of one of the old one-horse “fiacres” that still linger about Buenos Aires, the illusion is perfect If not only Argentines, but all South Americans are pyoud of Buenos Aires as the second Latin city of the world, they are also proud of its intellectual prestige, of the place it holds as one of the most important cultural centers of the Hemisphere. Like that of Paris, Argentine society has good taste, a “restrained ele gance of manner”.

Besides the many local the atrical companies and musical en sembles that fill nightly the forty theaters within the city limits, several important French companies have, since the beginning of the war, made Buenos Aires their headquarters. The scores of museums and li braries in the city are another man ifestation of its cultural activity, as is the fact that it can now be con sidered the principal publishing cen ter of Latin America.
