Threatening and unfriendly a. the
apes seemed, the cave man really
looked upon them as friends and
allies. since between them and his
own people there existed q species OF
friendly alliance, due, no doubt. to
the similarity of their form and
structure.

mighty batlike wings, mans battle
for survival stretched from sun to
sun--there was no respite.
His semiarboreal habits took him
often into the domains of the great
and lesser apes. and from this contact
had risen what might best be termed
an armed truce, for they alone of all
the other inhabitants OF the earth had
spoken languages. both meager. It is
true. yet sufficient TO their primitive
wants, and as both languages had
been born OF the same needs to deal
with identical conditions. there were
many words and phrases identical to
both.
Thus the troglodyte and the primer
dial ape could converse when neces-
sity demanded. and as M traversed
their country he understood their
grumbling and chattering merely as
warnings to him against the perform
ance OF any overt act.

hairy ones would have warned him
of that. too, for OF such was their
service to man. who. in return. hunt

many visitors that there is no need of
going far from home to find soil and
climate which permit the most complete
success in orchards and small fruits.
1t will be demonstrated that care and
science can accomplish wonders with
Ohio trees. The pains taken in Oregon
and Washington to guard against worms
and other enemies of apples, for instance,
will work about the same results here
where the best markets ARE close at hand.
