- THIS WEEK’S COVER
- That fellow who has cemented down the good earth must be crazy. What sound-minded man would rest in a hammock when he can sprain his muscles spading the sweet earth? What integrated person would take a fishing rod and seek relaxation in the country when, like a god, he can create delightful country in his own back yard with inspiring, backbreaking toil? Is it rational to get a green thumb off a paintbrush? Aye, that fellow is so deranged that he will let his neighbors plant trees for him to sit in the shade. So unhinged that by and by when those exercisers smugly, insultingly offer him some of their surplus vegetables, he will eat them. Truly, painter Thornton Utz has depicted a man who is dimwitted—like a fox.
