This, it was pointed out, makes
Margot Asquith, who has come

Asquith, on entering the
House of Lords, leaves behind
him a long and picturesque
political record. He probably
will reassume the leadership of
the liberals, but due to his
presence in the Lords the real
work of leadership will rest
largely on Lloyd George in the
House of Commons, it was said.
Asquith's health was said not
to be the best and therefore he
was reported seeking lighter
burdens.

All of which is most interesting. Sage brush has
been regarded about the most useless sort of vegeta

where sage brush is the principle product of the soil

mean 600 pounds rubber to the acre. Thus desert

definite value. Cultivated, if way discovered

who is injusty accused of assaultng white woman.
He narrowly escapes lynchng by mob and in spec
tacular court clears himself by his straight
forward testimony, without legal aid.
