 Money can beget money and it's offspring can beget more, and so on, !" said Poor Richard" in his Advice "a a Young rradesman "

Apes as Farm Hands
Prof. Richard Lynch Garner Plans
Nation Of Gonllas in u. S.

Prof Richard Lynch Garner has an
nounced his intention of establishing
a nation of chimpanZees and gorillas
in the United States for the ultimate
purpose of uplifting the entire ape
race, says a New York correspondent.
Professor Garner has just returned
after two and one-half years in the
French Congo gathering specimens for
the Smithsonian institution.
The apes today, in their uncnltured
state, are second only to the human
family in point of intellect, the profess
sor said. He believes that apes, if
given the advantage of modern educa-
ton and environment, would develop
into a race that would SOW and reap
and toll in the mill. In refined young
lady apes the professor sees possible
solution of the servant problem,
"Sam, boy ape that shared my
home in Africa, learned to fetch things
I called for" he said. HE became as
particular as / about bed sheets being
smoothed out, and he couldn't go to
sleep without pillow. If man could
train a dog to herd sheep, man can.
make farm hand out of an ape"
