It seems as though there are 2,000 souls in Arapahoe…today; in 1940 there were 1,000 people--so, not tiny, but not very large. Rare. [++] "PREFACE. The author of this pamphlet, though a native of Minnesota, has lived in the Republican River Valley of Nebraska, since the fall of 1900, and was a Farmer until bad years, and the depression got him to where he could no longer farm. He feels that he understands conditions in the Great Plains States, and he is quite certain that the people of these states, or a very large part of them, will agree with him when they read this pamphlet and think it over. He hopes to unite the people on a plan that will make these states a comparatively green, and fertile land, instead of becoming a desert, as it has threatened to in the past eight or ten years. This writer admits that Earth Quakes, Tornadoes, Blizzards, and Hail Storms are disasters beyond Man's control, and probably always will be. But he is just as certain that drouth and floods can be controlled, to a large extent, by united effort of the people. He does not wish to appear conceited, nor claim to know more than others, but he has given this matter considerable thought, and he is hardly content to finish this life without letting the people know of his ideas.".

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 5"x 4", 16pp, illustrated throughout, mostly with photos. Provenance: Library of Congress, with their surplus stamp on the front cover. VG condition. NO COPIES listed in WorldCat. The Littleport Society UK (WWII collection) refers to the pamphlet being published in 1943. The pamphlet gets right…down to business discussing the Casablanca Conference where FDR met with Churchill and their advisors one of the major results being the announcement that the Allies would accept nothing less than total victory and unconditional surrender of the Axis forces. (Just for the record the pamphlet quotes the opening day of the conference which took place 14-24 January 1943 in discussing unconditional surrender though the announcement is made 24 January 1943.) There was much else decided of tactical and strategic importance deceided there, of course the island-hopping switch in the Pacific, the new invasion of Sicily, preparation for the cross-Channel invasion, for example but for the purposes of understanidng the context of this pamhlet, the unconditional surrender part was pretty big. (Some have argued that it could have created some harm, too, feeding into Nazi propaganda that the German forces fight to the last man and not surrender because of the implied terrors of the "unconditional" part of surrender.).

Literally torn from the headlines, "Wild Boys of the Road" was based on a story by Daniel Ahern, "Desperate Youth," which unflinchingly documented this unparalleled phenomenon, as written for the screen by Earl Baldwin.Of all the films made during the Depression, "Wild Boys of the Road" is perhaps the most realistic and unsparing, due in no small part to Wellman's penchant for unvarnished realism."--"Wild Boys of the Road" by Gwendolyn Audrey Foster at the LOC site on film history.

Includes the original carbon copy of the LC card catalog card. GOOD condition. Rare. [++] Is it possible that James Steveson's Paddington : report on the necessity of latrine accommodation for women in the Metropolis, published in 1879, is the first book published in English to use the word "latrine" in the title?! Well, in a lightly interesting and perhaps stupefying way, the answer is "yes". And this just to get to this very obscure graphic/cartoon/book, "Smoe, the Latrine Orderly", by H.E. Swinney, published by the Ledger Company in Fort Worth, Texas. According to WorldCat there aren't any copies of this book in any subscriber library anywhere in the world. I'm both surprised and underprised. The cartoons all appeared in the Fort Worth Army Air Field's newspaper "Lone Star Scanner", which is also a publication that doesn't seem to have survived anywhere. I do not know for sure who Mr. Swinney was, though it seems that he was Harold Edward Swinney (1921-2008, born in Texarcana, Texas) who served in the USAAF and was stationed in Texas in 1939. The pamphlet's jokes and cartoons I can appreciate as having been funny once upon a time, making people laugh as they snapped their newspapers over their eggs at the Rexall. Some of the humor is humorous, and some isn't. Anyway I'm sure that "Smoe" did its job for when it was called upon. [++] By the way the word "latrine" is from the French and from the Latin before that, and appears fairly early in English (1642 according to my 1933 OED), but for whatever reason, it just doesn't find its way into the title of any English books for more than two hundred years. [++]The reason I'm spending any time at all on this little pamphlet is because its title is so entirely unexpected. And that, as the man said, is all I have to say about that.

Looks to me like a review of the recent militaristic history of Japan going back to the Russo-Japanese War, with the overall sensation of negative interpretations of Japanese actions against China and the ultimate failure of Japan. [++] "Lamont [former chair JP Morgan] later undertook a semiofficial mission to Japan in 1920 to protect American financial issues in Asia. However, he did not aggressively challenge Japanese efforts to build a sphere of influence in Manchuria; indeed, he supported Japan's non-militaristic politics until late into the 1930s.Ron Chernow won the National Book Award for his book The House of Morgan in which he claimed that Lamont had authored the infamous Japanese response to deceive the world about the Mukden incident, which was used as a pretext for Japan's invasion of Manchuria. That defied the expressed position of US government and the League of Nations that Japan, not China, was the aggressor."--Wikipedia.
