If he didn’t say it he could have said it. A “big- ger man” than old Barnum, he is some- how singularly missing from the pages of “Who's Who.” It is only for‘lack of his address that we haven't asked him about it. Were it not for the in- efficiency of the Post Office Depart- ment we should simply write “The Universe”; sooner or later the letter should overtake him. W. T. Larned. White With shears we clip this extraordi- nary passage from the Sun, which is nothing if not literary even in its mar- ket reports: “ Kansas has quit raising corn and gone to raising hell, and seems to have an wver- production,” declared William Allen White several years ago, and he has had no work to do except with is pen from that time on; An equally well-known writer, Samuel Blythe, recently let fall incidentally the remark that northwestern Canada was 2n- gaged in raising land values. How—what—why? Oh, come now, this is a little too much.

Dollars to doughnuts—or dithyrambs— you never heard of Mr. Blythe. Dol- lars to the hole in the doughnut every- body has heard of Mr White.

Fame, emerging from the gamma grass, flaps her wings and proclaims with a thousand tongues the glory and the gains of Kansas. Blythe may some- times fire a shot that echoes ‘round the World; but when White uncorks his fountain pen we seem to hear the fall of the Bastille and the invincible trend of advancing cost.
