BUSINESS CARD \ MAN ... in many forms— There is plenty of evidence that the types of human beings which now inhabit the earth are not the only animals of our species that ever lived. In Sumatra the natives have long known of the existence of a tribe of ape-men, who live in an inaccessible mountain country. One of these was recently shot, al- : though it is illegal to kill them, and | the body has been sent to Holland for examination by scientists, who think these “orang letjos” may be survivors of one of the races which preceded the modern man on the earth.

Trees are shipped when very young to keep down expenses of transporta tion, handling, and planting. Seed lings of most pines are 3 to 10 inches tall at 2 or 3 years of age. Most hardwood seedlings sent out are 10 to 18 inches tall. Trees for farm forest planting are distributed by the State fores try departments of 37 States. The United States Forest Service in Washington and its regional offices do not furnish trees for private planting, as the output of the Fed eral nurseries Is required for refor estation of some of the burned-over tracts in national Forests. The Forest Service co-operates with the States, however, in the production of trees for farm forest planting. Trees for ornamental planting are not grown under these arrange ments. txt One fine thing about inheriting money is that it doesn’t require any brains or energy. human beings of today, have just been unearthed. Similar discoveries over many years in Germany, France, China and South Africa lead to the belief that not one but several different species of humans and near-humans once inhabited many parts of the world. Perhaps the folk-myths of giants, satyrs and earth-dwelling gnomes have come down from remote times when survivors of these primitive types came into contact with our own ancestors, who themselves were better able to survive the changing rigors of a developing world be cause of their superior ability and brain capacity. FRANKFURTER ... to the bench- In Washington, during the War, irreverent newspaper men used to call him the “Happy Sausage.” That is a somewhat strained translation of Felix Frankfurter’s name, since “Felix” is good Latin for “Happy” and everybody knows that a frank furter is a sausage! But the same men who nicknam ed him used also to say that he had the best-functioning set of brains in Washington, and that was saying a good deal, In a time when Wood- row Wilson and Newton D. Baker were both’there and using theirs. Felix Frankfurter’s appointment by Governor Ely to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts has started a storm of protest, because he was the champion of Sacco and Vanz- etti, whose execution for murder was regarded by the radicals of the world as due tp their Communist activities rather than to any real proof of their guilt. Frankfurter, since 1914 a profes sor in Harvard Law School, believed the two men were innocent, and said so. That put him on the “black list” of the conservatives of Boston, who were sure the men were guilty because they were Com munists. But great lawyers, judges and statesmen call Felix Frank furter, the Austrian Jew who came to America at the age of twelve, one of the ablest legal minds in the world. One of the first impressions which will come to the reverent stud ent cf the Bible is the unity of the Book. It has one theme from be ginning to end: Redemption. There is no subject which is prom inent in the New Ttestament which is not foreshadowed in the Old. The Passover is an Old Testament version of what becomes the cen tral truth of the New Testament—God’s plan of Salvation. As one looks closely at the narrative each word is charged with spiritual mean ing; the whole Gospel story is mirrored in a few verses. Egypt is a clear type of the world of sin, and Israel a type of unsaved men and women. The passover lamb is a wonderful type of Christ, while the sprinkled blood speaks of His atoning sacrifice. That this it the true method of interpretation is shown by our Golden Text, “For Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us,” also by such passages as, “Now all these things happened unto them for examples (types)” I Cox'. 10:11. The deepest spiritual lesson, of course, is that which concerns the result of simple obedience to God’s saving plan. Those individuals or families of Israel, who took God at His word and evidenced their faith by seeking the shelter of the blood sprinkled door, were infallibly secure, good or bad, wise or ignorant, strong or weak, rich or poor, bond or :. ? ree. The truth taught in this lesson lies at the heart of all that the Bible teaches. The one who apprehends the meaning and unmeasured efficacy of the blood-sprinkled lintel insures, will have the key to the greatest mysteries of Scripture. He will, too, have found for himself the pearl of great price. & V THF FAMILY? .DOCTOR JOIN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. SPEAKING OF SNAKE-BITE— I enjoyed a short fishing trip on the Osage River some time ago. This stream, in its course which winds among the Ozark Hills of Miss ouri, is most fascinating in its setting of rugged beauty. The dwellers in the neighborhood were primitive and physicians were evidently few and far between; the simple folk had learned to do their “doctorin’ ” themselves. # A lad of twelve visited our camp often. He was barefoot, save for a soiled rag that partly covered a flaming-red ankle and heel. He limped a bit painfully, but said he didn’t mind it much; the member was swollen quite a bit. “What’s the matter with your foot—stone-bruise?” was asked. “Nope .. . snake-bite,” he replied indifferently. “What sort of snake?” I enquired. “Copperhead. Lots of ’em in the bresh and rocks here.” “What did the doctor do to you when you was bitten? Did he give you serum?” “Never had no doctor; anybody can cure snake-bite with ’curo- chrome.” He exhibited plain contempt, I thought, when he heard the suggestion of a doctor for a little thing like the bite of a copperhead! One of the most deadly-venomous of serpentsi There is nothing that fills me with horror more than the bite of a rattlesnake or copperhead. I’m sure if I were ever a victim, I would die before they ever cranked the Ford to go get a doctor! Yet here was a very young man without a particle of fear; he would have dread ed a bee-sting worse. In the event of snake-bite, cord the limb above and phone for your doctor—quick. You’ve done your duty at least. /THtfcES LOT OP GOOD THINGS TO J&JOW ABOUT SWIKAMIH* |k£ v SUfcE-F£& INSTANCE, ITS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO SWIM wuew YA CANT “V J SEE VEfeX SW1MMIN Hole AN YA TEASE SHOULDN'T DUCVC anybody CAUSE ITS UABLE TO AAAHE EM PANICKY ^avihm,a|\ MOLE YEAN- BUT WUATS THE GOOD VtMOW IN' ALL THOS THINGS WHEN A 6UY URL THAT PUTS UP A Slow UUB THAT? ROMANCE ... on a door sill— Bob Millikan came back to the home of his ancestors the other day and made a talk to the village folk on the occasion of the local cele bration of the Washington Bi-Cen- tennial in the town of Stockbridge. Mass. He is known to all the world as Professor Robert A. Millikan of the California Institute of Tech nology, and the world’s greatest liv ing physicist, who discovered the cosmic rays. He told us how his grandfather, Dan Millikan, came across jhe mountains, from over Becket way, a hundred years ago, as an appren- ; tice to Sam Pease, the village shoe- ; m.ker. He married Sally Pease a:~d went out to Illinois to farm it in the praire county. His son Silas V )t on farming, but sent his boy | Eo’d to the University of Chicago. And Bob Millikan came all the v - v fi'om the Pacific Coast the ,oth- I f" day because, as he told us, ho v nted to see if he could find the house where his grandfather used ! to “skive” shoeleather on the sill of : the back door. He’d recognize it f '>m the knife-marks left by the shoemaker’s apprentices. And sure enough, he found the gashes on Doctor Clyne’s back-door sill! I It made all the Stockbridge peo ple feel very romantic to have such a living link with the town’s past. SANDERS ... of the people— Like speaker Garner, Everett Sanders, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, was born in a log cabin. He was a member of Congress from Indiana * when President Coolidge made him his secretary. In that job he won from Mr. Coolidge the high praise that he was “ a man of great abil ity and discretion.” Sanders started life as a clerk in a shoe store, and sold more shoes than anybody else who ever worked there. Perhaps, his friends say, that is one reason why he under stands people from the ground up, ~txr Second Ballot Bill Will Rogers, cowboy humorist,, Joubts the correctness . of “second guess being best.” On the second ballot at the Democratic convention. Oklahoma switched its 22 votes from Murray to Rogers—"and still I didn’t win out,” says Rogers. More Poultry Flocks On Cherokee Farms BLACK &BTIHEBG,. JJUfy 9. — The force of depression has stimulated the tendency toward' more, better, and larger poultry flocks on Chero kee county farms; and farmers say muofr ready? and’ welcome cash has come from the sale of poultry and eggs: Demonstration flocks, a poultry short course, a poultry association and show, and co-operative poultry sales, all of which have been fos 1 - j tered by the Extension farm and home agents, have helped toward a more established, poultry industry ' in Cherokee. Though most farms have a few chickens and a few fams have a good many chick- 1 ens, the hen population of Chero kee is still far ton smalL. j * An outstanding poultry producer ; is DeWitt Moss, a Blacksburg farm er. Two other' farmers giving ! special attention to polutry are C. A. Carty, a newcomer from Missouri who is starting an up-to-date poul try farm with now 300 White Leg horn liens, and W. E. Marshall, who has a flock of White Leghrons numbering around one thousand.' What DeWitt Moss tells us of his experience may serve to illustrate success with poultry. Near Blacks burg he has a Rhode Island Red flock with now 200 year-old hens, having sold this season 1000 fryers to markets at Gaffney, King’s Mountain, Spartanburg, Greenville.. H has an incubator, largely for h e own use. but sells chicks and h° ehing eggs. Hte grows most P r ’try feed used—corn and wheat f— grain feeds, and rape.
