Power In Palm Oil

We have thought of palm oil In
such peaceful connections as soap
stock and massage creams, but had
never associated it with those devilish
stuffs, gasoline, benzol and the joyride.
But oil is Oil and chemistry plays
strange tricks, and the time may be
near when not only the fatty juice of
the palm kernel, but even the oil Of
the succulent peanut may speed the
tlivver in the place of petrol.
MAY be near?" What do we say?
That time is actually here, and today
off in darkest Africa automobiles are
being operated successfully and cheap
ly with their tanks filed with palm
oil. And also in Belgium the same
fluid Is being used, in an experimental
way, and is proving even more success,

FINDS SECRET OF HIS ORIGIN
Natives Of Guam EnIighten Marine;
Disagree With the Theories Put
Forward by Darwin. a

The theory that he had sprung from
some remote protoplasmic organism,
that his twenty-times-grea t-grandfathe
was wire-haired baboon in the wilds
Of Abyssinia and other -Darwinian
monstrosities, were all regarded by
Sergeant John Burrows Of the marine
corps as so much bunk" Still, his
mind was never at rest.
The sergeant re-enlisted after the
war and was ordered to Guam.
The other day a letter was received
at the marine corps recruiting head
quarters 1t came from Sergeant Bur
rows in Guam.
"At last" he stated, II have discov-
cred where my ancestors have come
FROM"
The sergeant explained that natives
Of the island had enlightened him. In
accounting for the origin of man, they
said that everything in the world was
derived from a certain rock on the
island Of Guam, which first became
human, then stone, and gave birth to
all men. From this island men We're
scattered all over the world. They
forgot their language and talked like
fools without understanding one an
other nor knowing what was said.'-

How Many Presidents7

Percentages intrigue our fancy. So
when we read that "55 per cent of
our presidents have been college men"
we wonder how many that was. Twen-
ty-seven men have held the Office, and
on that basis 14.S5 were college men.
But Mr.. Harding may be included and
that would indicate that 1914 were col
lege men. The fractions grow worse ;
it looks as though someone were be-
ing insulted. There is further pos
sibility; some folks reckon Grover
Cleveland as the twenty-second and
the twenty-fourth president. This
duality of Mr. Cleveland would make
Mr.. Harding the twenty-ninth Presi-
dent. It's strange thing that in so
important matter, men cannot agree
on how many presidents the country
has had. And when one comes to frac-
tional Presidents, the task of the per-
centage gatherer proves hopeless-AIil-

Colts Island.

Capt. Erastus Colt died very sud-
denly Thursday at the home of his
daughter, Miss Phebe Gott, in Nc
Kinley, where he had been spending
the winter. Capt. Colt was an aged
and respected citizen of this place,
having lived here all his life. He
was great reader, and was deeply
interested in the affairs of the town.
He was kind neighbor and friend
and will be greatly missed, especially
among the men, as he lived all alone
near the shore and they always called
at Uncle Era's" coming and going
from their work. Surviving are one
daughter, Phebe, of Mckinley, five
sons, William E. and Berlin A. of
this place, Leslie of Goose Cove,

WeaIthand Happiness.

Much of the anxiety and care of
these days is needless and springs
from an overemphasis Of the amount
of property needed for happiness. Ev-
erything in our country tends to stim-
ulate men toward excessive ambition.
Our climate is rich in oxygen, and is
an irritant to work. The undeveloped
resources of our land appeal to Gu
pidity-even at time when we begin
to realize that these treasures should
be conserved for our descendants The
stories Of successful men are exploited
with endless variations in magazines
that teach the art of getting on in
stead Of getting up. Little by little
young men feel that it is a disgrace
to live modestly. Avarice is virus
in the blood. Undue ambition is pois-
oning the springs of contentment.
Youth has forgotten Cervantes' warn
ings not "to fly too high toward the
sun lest the flame consume the WINGS"

WILL LONG REMEMBER VISIT.
Astounded by the Appearance of
American Seaplones.

One wonders what the inhabitants
of Old Providence island thought
when seven American seaplanes, with
that rending clamor of motor that
marks these powerful devices, swooped
down on her tiny harbor. The report
of the seven tliers is epic in it's sim
plicity.
Some of them seemed scared" said
they. "They had never seen an air.
plane before"
Life in Old Providence, as it APP
peared to the marooned sea tliers, is
primitive in its simplicity. The is
land itself is four miles long, lying
in the midst of the Caribbean sea
at distance of $50 miles from Colon.
In its center a wooded eminence rises
to what seemed the majestic height
of LOO feet.
The harbor is too tiny and too shall
low to permit the entrance Of big
ships, and so the islands only con-
nection with the outside world Is
through the semi-occasional visits of
a little yawl, which carries freight
and passengers each way. Sometimes
the yawl gets to Old Providence once
In three weeks. Sometimes 1t doesn't.
Its schedule depends on freights, the
whim of its master. the winds, the
conveniences of the day.
Usually it brings the mails" said
the Old Providentials. Sometimes it
doesn't"
