Excerpt from The Company Owns the Tools

Two hundred and thirty miles west OF the missis sippi River, surrounded on all sides by endless fields of corn, the little town of Holden, Iowa, tried to sleep.

Most of the citizens were willing to aid that slumber. Merchants dozed in their stores, and old men sat on the hotel porch and talked sleepily.

The weather was hot and humid. Low gray skies held only a vague promise of rain. In the meantime the angry red mercury in the thermometers held fast at one hundred and two above. Mosquitoes and flies buzzed and bit the hot, uncomfortable inhabitants. No one wanted to move. Everyone wanted to relax and sleep, hoping to beat the heat.
