THE GENTLE ClNIC

At last we have an ideal book ON
Bible commentary. Prof. Marcus Jas
trow. tire learned Semitic scholar of
the University of Penns! !lvania. has
written IA commentary on the book of
Ecciesiastes. which sets IA new stan
dard in Bible work. 1t is everything
that ii commentary on the Bible should
be. Therefore. we rejoice all the more
that the professor is now preparing
similar commentaries to the Book of
Job and the Song of Songs.
The Book of Ecclesiastes is one Of
the puzzling Bible books. Who wrote
1t? When was it written? Where was
il written? We do not know. Be
cause the treatise is so full of con-
trary thoughts, at times, cynical; often
apparently irrelisious land then again
expressing fervent. religious sentences.
this book is Il compilation of sermons
by different writers. Professor Jas
trow refutes such n theory. He brings
to his task Il profound and scholarly
mind He is one of the world author
tiles in the domain of Assyrian litera-
ture. He Is also II practical man.
commanded the widest attentio. In
addition, lc writes with an ease and
clearness which commands the atteii-
ton equally of layman and scholar.
In discussing the Book of Ecclesi-
estes. Professor Jastrow first touches
a number Of very important Bible
Bible authorship in general, and then
shows how this book was written by
a genius who purposely concealed his
Lame. la order. however, to gain
greater popularity for his writing. lie
ascribed the work to solomon. Pro
fessor Jastrow then takes up the diff
cult question Of separating the orig
inal words of the unknown scribe from
the later insertions. Here Professor
Jastrow is II wonderful surgeon and
this work shows how the original au-
thor wis u gentle cynic," whose phil
CsOphy of life was the current matter
of-faet view point, which largely OH
tains even today. Very likely, the
orthodox leaders of his day sought
to destroy the book, because of its ir-
religious sentences The ascribed au-
tilorship of Solomon hnS so quickly
popularized the work that it could not
be suppressed. Therefore additions of
a more religious atIlrc were appended
to neutralizc the sccptiCism of the au-
thor.
Our one regret Is that his common
tary, written by world recognized
Jewish scholar. was not published TN
der Jewish auspices. However. as the
Jewish Publica tion society does not
care to depart from the Massoretic
text of the Bible. us handed down
from century to century, IL will not
put forth such. a work us this. We
arc grateful to the J. Il. Lippincot

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, July 26.-Widespread
drought and notwithstanding high
prices on hogs have carried the
corn market this week sharply up
grade. Compared with a week ago,
corn quotations this morning show
ed SIS to csc advance. Oats had
gained 11kc to 1Ac, and provisions
were dearer by SIC to $3.50.
Dry hot weather, day after DAY,
and no rain in sight exercised a
constant intimidating effect on the
bears in corn, and so likewise cid
lessening of hog receipts and sue
cessiYe overlapping of all previous
hog values. Only absence of serious
damage from lack of rain appeared
capable of holding the corn market
from a further ascent, especially as
there were signs that car shortage
was developing in the middle west,
and that with the movement of
wheat having necessary preference
the arrival of corn would be meager
for some time. Besides, word from
Argentina that new high price rec
ords for corn had been established
there attracted considerable atten-
tiop.
Oats climbed to the highest prices
yet this season. The bulge was due
to predictions that the 1918 yield
would be less than the average. AS
sertions that the government was
reselling counted later as some
thing of an offset
Provisions derived their strength
from the upturns OF grain and hogs.

HISTORY OF CIVIL
WAR PRESENTED TO
LIBRARY AT ALEDO

Probably one of the most COM
plete and authentic histories of the
civil war in existence has, through
the kindness of Captain w. A. Lor-
inner, G. A. r. veteran, been added
to the list of books available at the
Aledo public library.
The work comes in 12S volumes
and is bound in cloth. Its title is
History of the War of Rebellion,
Official Record Of the Union and
Confederate Armies" and gives a
complete copy of every order issued
during the war which sent regi-
ments and brigades into battle.
The information is given by dates
and tells what part each unit took
in the war. The history was COM
piled and printed under government
supervision. Captain Lorimer's gift
has been gratefully acknowledged
by the library board.
A new, since the war, edition of
Webster's new international die
tionary, with reference history, has
also been received. This book mas
aroused considerable comment IN
literary circles, due to its complete
addenda containing war terms and
names created only during the last
two or thre years. With this volume
came a new reference atlas of the
world with complete list Of physi-
cal, political and historical maps
compiled and gathered by govern
ment surveys. The atlas also ex-
hibits the latest results of geo.
graphical research.

1t might be interesting to know
that the first machine to arrive was
the same plane that carried John

Rantoul to attend a reunion of col

some time ago. The fight was
later depicted in daily cartoons in

the second ship to arrive here,
Lieutenant J. w. WEIGH, was the

the trip.
