Mt.N AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Anthropoloqlsts Have Discovered
Many Interesting Facts That Have
Bearing on Their Relations.

At recent meeting Of the German
AnthropologicaI society, Prof Ed Hahn
lectured on human races and proper
ties of domestic animals, dwelling es-
pecially on such relations as are found
to exist between the outward appear
ance OF human races and the races Of
mans animal companions. The hues
mainly occurring in the case Of man
as well as Of domestic animals are
black, brown, red, yellow and white, q
remarkable feature being that these
external characteristics seem to be
connected with the whole of bodily
constitution. A distinguished anthro-
pologist. Prof. Eugen Fischer of Frei-
burg, Baden, on evidence afforded by
the eye Of mammals, considers the
Wilderness Of domestic animals and
white man to be kindred phenomena,
nor does he hesitate to suggest many
other analogies of similar kind be-.
tween man and animals. According to-
the lecturer, humanity as q whole, In
elusive of what are called primitive
peoples, has been subjected for some
time to conditions similar to those at
work In the case of our domestic ami
mails The classification mainly based
on color may be replaced by system
Of darker and lighter strains within q
given race. Attention is drawn in this
connection to the Simmenthal oxen,
which, within memory of man, have
become remarkably bright-colored, as
well as to the fact that the subse-
quent darkening of adults points to
the merging, In olden times, OF bright
er and darker varieties of man-Sci-

GOOD CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA
Former American Physician TestInes
to Benefits That Have Followed
Doing Away With Vodka.

Fewer cases of insanity are being
received in the asylums and hospitals
OF Russia today than before the war,
notwithstanding the brainracking ex-
periences which hundreds Of thou
sands Of people of that country have
gone through during the last year.
This indicates to my mind that prohi-
bition of the sale of vodka has been
a great thing for Russia"
This statement was made to a re-
porter by DR.. Philip Newton, formerly
a hospital physician of Washington,
now brigadier general in the medical
branch Of the Russian army Doctor
Newton arrived here recently after
having served for fifteen months in
Russia-first as a surgeon of the
American Red Cross and since Octo-
Der, 1915, in the Russian army.
The prohibition Of the sale of vod-
ka and other intoxicants has made :
better citizen and soldier of tho Rus
sian," Doctor Newton said He may
not be as smart as the English and
French, but he can do harder work
and better withstand hardships. Tho
Russians make ideal hospital patients.
The manner in which they endure the
most painful injuries is warderful."-

Marriage VS.. Common Sense

so many women are annoyed and
displeased If their husbands even dare
to suggest fishing, hunting, skating
or skiing trip with the boys" II
they did but realize it, these little
separations do more to make home
dearer. Short vacations away from
each other make husband and wife all
the more appreciative Of the others
good qualities.
So don't frown on your husbands
desire to leave you for a short time
In fact, II he does not express any
wish to leave you, you should pack up
and leave him for a short visit to
friends or relatives. These short sepa.
rations tend to long union, while too
much and too constant propinuuity
tends to long separation. Especially
II you feel any signs of a strained at.
mosphere between you both, IL there
is formal politeness, or a disposition
to snap at each other. you may know
that 1t is time for one of you to 70

relations.

PRETTY AS A PICTURE,

The writer had the pleasure the othe
day of making a brief visit to Mr.. Ha
ry Hosmer's splendid farm a few mile
southeast of Greenwood, and it is wei.
worth the trip and time to go out and
see this altoge Their prosperous looking
place.
He has four acres of the finest alfalfa
that we have ever seer anywhere;
several acres Of c~heck-rowed, fiat-cul-
tivated Hastings prolific corn as pretty
as a picture; the best stand and finest
looking field of cotton in that section;
a very pretty lot of crimson clover
and last, but by no means least, a ten
acre orchard Of 1000 Elberta peach trees
and a few apple trees, which has
very correctly pronounced by a mem
Der Of the faculty of our A. & M. Col
lege as the only strictly first-class.
modern fruit farm in the entire State.
Mr.. Hosmer is proud of his whole place,
but he takes a special pride in his
orchard, which he keeps pruned, spray
ed and worked in a name equal to
any frst'class flower garden and it
certainly Ices credit to the careful at
tention given by its owner. Mr.. Hos
mer certainly has a model farm, and
we would like to see more like it in
this vicinity.

THE CROP CONDITIONS.
Greenwood. April 22 1Q1

Greenwood, April %, 1916.
Editor. The Commonwealth:
So far as my observation extends and
from what l learn from planters in the
section of country l have travelled,
the condition Of the-young cotton is not
at all favorable. On account of the
frosts and cold weather some weeks
since, much of the early planting was
plowed up; where it was undisturbed
stands are poor. Later planting while
up to q fair stand in many fields is
short, in many others and from the un-
seasonable, cold. and lack of moisture
does not look promising. The fields
have been we'll worked universally.
every effort made to force the tender
plant through the dry crust and to
keep the soil stirred about the roots.
In the small section of overlooked
country I have been in-on lower end
of, Silver Greek the same condition is
aggravated by the appearance of cut
worms making havoc of cotton, corn
and gardens.
The fields are. in. such fine state of
cultivation though, that a good warm
rain with. a few sunshiny days and hot
nights would put an, entirely different
face on the condition. Oats and wheat
not all promising, the former small and
heading out close to the. ground-rain
and sunshine however will effect won
ders in these crops. l am more than
glad to report a very different situa-
ton as to the corn crop which. looks
unusually we'll, an excellent stand, al
most everywhere: the . fields well
worked. free Of grass and weeds.
As to acreage compared with last
year.I find considerable difference of
views among planters; the prevailing
opinion though is, / think-and l agree
with this idea, that the acreage will be
virtually the same. If any increase in
cotton acreage it will be in the section
l travel, q small per centage. S.

A DEPLORES HIS LOSS.

Resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Bank of Com
merce, Greenwood, Mississippi, at
a meeting held April, &c, 1916.
Be it resolved by Board of Directors
of the Bank of Commerce, of Green
wood, Mississippi, that in the death of
William Cothran George, ~vice-presi-
dent of the Bank of Commerce, which
occurred on April 7th, 1916, this insti-
tuition has lost a faithful and valued
officer and this community a useful and
beloved citizen. :
Mr.. George had been for t%hirty-one
years a successful planter and business
mar of this county, intimately asso-
ciated with its leading enterprises and
contributing largely to it's prosperity.
He had never sought political prefer
ment, but there were few men in this
State 10 generous and ~favorably known
and few whose influence was so widely
felt, or unselfshly used.
He was a nan of uncompromising
honesty, of great simplicity of .charac-
ter, of ~unwavering fidelity to his
friends. He assumed with indomita-
BILE courage the great responsibilities
which were cast upon him and dis
charged without complaint. He was a
man of keen instincts and splendid
judgment, and many in their perplex-
tiles sought the wisdom of his counsel.
Few men were so richly endowed
with the best and noblest qualities that
adorn u nature. Wise, generous.
