CHAPTER SIX.
Upper Savagery.

The third age of human history is known as the age
of upper savagey and dates from the invention of the
bow and arrow.
We have no definite record of the invention of the
bow and arrow, neither do we know what were the
special circumstances that made its invention necessary
The general circumstances evident. The nantral
operation of the law of fecundy, increasing the popua
ton to numbers in excess of the available food supply
compelled mankind to invent weapons with which to kill
larger game. As larger game elusive and often
dangerous to the life Of man, weapon was neces-
sary with which could strike at distance The bow
and arrow was the result Of this necessity.
Tyer*) maintains that the throwing of the spear
suggested the bow and Anyone who has followed
an amateur woodsman trial heavily overhung with
branches has probably had first hand information of the
power which these branches manifest when strongly bent
IN one direction and then suddenly released It may be
that such experience first suggested the idea of the
bow. The arrow simply spear adapted in size to
the capacity of the bow
Fire burnt tips for arrows and spears grew out of
the utility OF fire. Experience demonstrated that charred
wood had greater resistance than other wood and hence
used for cutting and stabbig purposes Hard stone
was used for similar reason.
was in this age of human history that the dug-out
evolved from freburnt log to be followed later
by artificial log made of bark In some localities dur
ing the latter part of upper savagey skins began to be
used for noe-making.

A AUTOMOBILES INCREASE
THE LAND VALUES

automobiles are notable for in
creasing the value of land" says
Geo. L. Roth of the Columbia
Garage, local dealer in Chevrolet
passenger and commercial cars.
"They have done this by making all
land more accessible-more profit
able. They have eliminated distances
and brought city and country closer.
Suburban property is in far great
cr demand than before the days of
automobile transportation. Formerly
the advantages of life outside of the
cities were limited to the efficiency
of railroad connections. Now the
automobile owner is independent of
every other conveyance. The incon-
venience of family shopping and get
ting about generally, no longer ex
ists-in any season.
"The early use of automobiles
demonstrated the inadequacy of our
roads system. In the few years that
motor cars have been recognized
utilities, good roads have spread in
all directions. They now form one
of the most valuable assets of the
nation. Together with the automo
bile they link all parts of the coun-
try.
"In the farming areas the effect
of automobiles is particularly no
table They have made farm life
more attractive and farm property
more profitable. Passenger cars and
trucks shorten the farmers day.
Their all around utility on the farm
itself saves time and labor and re-
suits in increased production and
more profits.
at no longer makes difference
to the farmer whether a railroad is
near his property or not. His route
to market is no longer dependent on
steel rails, nor the limited capacity
of his team. The automobile makes
every town. with radius of twenty
miles or more, both convenient
market and source of supply.
GAS farms have become more con
venient, more productive and more
profitable through the utility of the
automobile, their value has increased.
And that the farmer appreciates this
service is proved by the fact that
more than half the cars in the United
States are owned in the agriculture
districts"

FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
HOLD ANNUAL MEETINGS

The National Farm Loan Associa-
tions held annual meetings January
10, at which officers were elected for
the ensuing year and report of good
progress made. This is the third
year for some of the associations,
while a few have only recently been
chartered. One of the most attractive
elements in the National Farm Loan
business is the harmony of interest
which prevails among the farmers
which insures the success OF the
great enterprise which loans money
to farmers for the actual agricultural
use for the very agreeable rate OF
51a per cent per annum.
There are two of these associa-
lions which have their headquarters
in Colville. One of these is the
Stevens County National Farm Loan
Association and the other the Pho
neer National Farm Loan Associa-
ton. The Stevens county organi-
cation which covers Stevens county
was chartered in 1917 and has done
a flourishing business, having prac-
tically a quarter of million dollars
on the loan calendar. To be exact
the total loans made are $240,950 to
1876 borrowers. The officers of the
Stevens county association chosen at
Tuesdays election: President, Chris
Mcdonnell; vice president, j. F. Vine;
ecretary-treasurer, l. j. Lasswell.
The board of directors are Chris Nc
Donell, John F. Vine, Thomas Ora
ham, Ambrose May, P. H. Stewart.
David M. Culp and J. w. Reynolds.
Loan committee, J. F. Vine, Thomas
Graham, d. NJ. CUP; alternate, P. Fl.
Stewart, j. w. Reynolds and Am
brose May.
Pioneer Farm Loan Association
This association was chartered in
July and embraces in it's territorial
limits all of Stevens and the east
half of Ferry county. In this
short time it has written more than
$4,000 applications for loans, more
than half of which have been closed.
The officers chosen on Tuesday were:
President, G. A. Skiles; vice pres
idnt, F. r. Jones and secretary-treas-
urer, John B. Slater. The board of
directors are, F. R. Jones, Harry A.

THE EIGHTH GRADE EXAMS.
AND THE DAYS AFTERW ARD

tDy the oCcdSlOidl ISlIOIJ
Today is for certain part of our
population day of peace, of rest,
of glorious forgetfulness: it is the
first day after the eighth grade
examinations. Today there are in
our midst beatifed mortals who will
never, never again need to know just
the difference between verb and an
adverb, the number of pounds of
wheat in 'bushel, and why we are
sure the earth is round. Ever since
the beginning of September they
have been assimilating knowledge
against the day of judgment; but
now the day has come and gone, and
they live in fearful palpitating won
der as to what they got.
After the papers are handed in,
nobody has very clear idea of what
happens to them. Rumor hath 1t
that they go in to a County board"
Just what county board may be,
the examinee does not quite know,
but of this he is entirely certain: the
county board is incredibly slow. Pro-
crastination is it's middle name. His
papers went week, nay two weeks,
ago, and still no diploma!
Then doubt assails the examnee.
Perhaps he forgot just minute too
soon the difference between the verb
and the adverb. Perhaps he spelled
Separate" with too many ELS. Per-
haps- and there follow days Of
gloom.
And then at last it comes! The
grades are high, the average wonder
full and the thing itself beautiful be-
yond ones widest dreams. And
mother has it framed and hangs it
between the enlarged portraits OF
grandma and grandpa, and the ex-
aminee knows he is now on the map
forever and ever, Amen!
