Collier's Weekly
''Collier's'' was an American general interest magazine founded in 1888 by Peter Fenelon Collier. It was launched as ''Collier's Once a Week'', then renamed in 1895 as ''Collier's Weekly: An Illustrated Journal'', shortened in 1905 to ''Collier's: The National Weekly'' and eventually to simply ''Collier's''. The magazine ceased publication with the issue dated the week ending January 4, 1957, although a brief, failed attempt was made to revive the Collier's name with a new magazine in 2012. As a result of Peter Collier's pioneering investigative journalism, ''Collier's'' established a reputation as a proponent of social reform. After lawsuits by several companies against ''Collier's'' ended in failure, other magazines joined in what Theodore Roosevelt described as " muckraking journalism." Sponsored by Nathan S. Collier (a descendant of Peter Collier), the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability was created in 2019. The annual US$25,000 prize is one of the larg ...

Burleigh wrote to federal officials, requesting that they "inspect our proposed bad-lands park, we would be very glad to show it to them and we would appreciate any efforts on your part to have a park established near Glendive, as you know we are very short on scenery and places of interest, and I believe it would be one way to stop tourists in Glendive for a day or two."

Sunday Strip
The Sunday comics or Sunday strip is the comic strip section carried in most western newspapers, almost always in color. Many newspaper readers called this section the Sunday funnies, the funny papers or simply the funnies. The first US newspaper comic strips appeared in the late 19th century, closely allied with the invention of the color press. Jimmy Swinnerton's '' The Little Bears'' introduced sequential art and recurring characters in William Randolph Hearst's ''San Francisco Examiner''. In the United States, the popularity of color comic strips sprang from the newspaper war between Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Some newspapers, such as '' Grit'', published Sunday strips in black-and-white, and some (mostly in Canada) print their Sunday strips on Saturday. Subject matter and genres have ranged from adventure, detective and humor strips to dramatic strips with soap opera situations, such as '' Mary Worth''.
