My dear Mr President:-
I desire to present to you one of Arkansas' famous
watermelons. It was grown at Hope, Arkansas on the farm of my friend,
Hon. 0. A. Graves, distinguished lawyer and Democratic leader.
My old cotton-plantation negro, Ike Winfield, who raised this
melon, in his plantation vernacular, wrote me: "Boss, I is
sendin you 16 watermillions for your Arkansas party. I wants
you to give the biggest one to de President. It weighs 125 pounds
and tell him if de drouft had not hit me, I would send him a
big one."
I trust, Mr President, that this is a good melon and
that you will enjoy it.
Permit me to assure you of my best wishes and of my
great faith in your leadership. Arkansas believes in you.
Your exact number of Arkansas friends can be ascertained by
referring to the latest census.
Sincerely,
SukeRuynold Seth C Reynolds

Dear Mr. Early:
Joseph Chase Allen and I have just
published Vineyard Poems and Prints,a volume
that deals with the island of Martha's
Vineyard.
The President has visited this island
and undoubtedly has an interest in the
places and people there. In addition to this
there is a foreword by Jonas Lie, who knows
Mr. Roosevelt.
The book is a fine job of printing and
binding. The prints are made from linoleum
blocks and show that art at its best. The
poems are written by a Vineyarder who has
real genius when it comes to getting the
feeling of this facinating place.
We shall be pleased and honored if the
President will accept from us a copy of this
book. The edition is limited to five hundred
copies.
I have written to you because of your
interest in a request I made during the
early part of this year for assistance in
the Roosevelt Ball. Mr. Hartley forwarded your
letter to me at that time.
I shall await word from you before I
shall presume to send the book.
Yours truly

We saw a photograph in the news-

we had neglected to provide him with a new
Stetson felt for Fall. This has probably
been due to the fact that our mutual friend
Jim Cooke was not here to remind us of it.

think it is a very funny book and I felt that both
you and the President would be as amused by it as were
we.
Some people seem to have felt it was anti-

WALK
A DESPERATE GAMBLE
OTILE
The plane was loaded with all of the latest devices for mainten-
ance of life in the extreme altitude which I was prepared to explore.
A hookup was made which, through control by radio from the ground,
would force the plane up even after my facilities to control it were ex-
hausted. The plane was SO constructed that when the fuel was ex-
DEATH
hausted and the motor dead, it would sail in a circle and gradually
descend to the ground. The only chance I was taking was if I should
fail to regain consciousness before it landed; then, I would have to
be taken from the wreckage.
If I won, I was assured of a steady job as a test pilot. If I failed,

money at the bank to buy them and had backed up my loan with for-
eign bonds which were bringing me a good rate of interest and were
all paid for. I also had three thousand dollars in the bank to serve
as a nest egg for my old age.
The market crash gave me a jar, but the bank carried on with
me and as my bonds were still enough security to cover the amount
of my loan and still having my job, I did not worry much. The next
month I received a cut in wages which upset my budget. The next
month the foreign bonds were worthless because of a revolution and
the new government refused to pay the debts of the former govern-
ment. The bank asked me to let them hold my pass book on my savings

account to guarantee the loan.
The next month I received a layoff of three days each week and
with my wages cut, I could not pay my apartment rent, SO moved
into a furnished room and cut down on pleasures.
The next month I was bumped off the payroll and really did not
know what the depression meant until I tried to find another job.
I did not want to sacrifice my stock because I was sure it would
come back. I went down to the Budget Company and borrowed two
hundred dollars on my fifteen hundred dollar automobile. The Man-
WALK
ager told me that was eighty percent of the blue book value.
I sure hated to borrow on my adjusted service certificate but
was forced to, to keep up payments on loans and keep eating.
Well, it has been eight months since I lost my job, bonds are

Honored Sir:
This Chamber of Commerce is expressing to your order and for your
personal Thanksgiving table a thirty five pound turkey with the
compliments and best wishes of our people of the Umpqua Valley.
This bird is the choice of twenty five hundred raised by Mr. C.
Richmond, proprietor of the Sans Sousi Turkey Ranch near this
city, an experienced turkey raiser formerly of Norfolk, Virginia.
The bird's name is "Umpqua Chief" and he first saw the light of
day February 16th of this year. Mr. Richmond is one of your
ardent admirers and is very desirous that you and your family
honor Mr. "Umpqua Chief" by paying your personal respects to
him instead of passing him on to one of your official aides.
The "Chief" is traveling thirty five hundred miles to grace your
table and we sincerely hope he will win your favor and prove
worthy of his name.
I beg to remain,
Sincerely yours,

My dear Sir:
I am taking the liberty of forwarding you,
herewith, a copy of a rather remarkable book,
"THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SOUTH", by Judge Elvy E.
Callaway.
Although Judge Callaway is a Southerner,
born and bred; he is that avis rara, a Southern
Republican.
In spite of this membership in the opposite
political party I am hoping you will find his
shrewd political, and economic observations
interesting.
Interesting enough to merit some comment
from you.
Of course, you know neither of us would be
guilty of using any such comment for advertising
or publicity. Both Judge Callaway and myself
would treasure any opinion you would be gracious
enough to make.
Yours respectfully,
