SEES POSSIBLE FALL OF MAN
Scientist Points Out How the Race
May Sink to the Level of
Lower Savages.

"Some millions of years from now
an entirely new and more highly or
ganized animal may spring from some
ancestral stock now relatively OBJ
scure and rise, at first slowly and
then more rapidly, to even greater
heights of achievement than anything
which lies within the capacity of the
human species"
After tracing the geologic evolution
of the earth 50 far as man knows it,
DR.. Eliot BlackweIder of Harvard uni
versity, at the meeting of the geolog-
ical societies of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science
in Toronto, Canada, in these words
suggested the possibility of a future
usurper Of mans pre-eminent place on
earth.
"As our modern civilization becomes
more and more specialized and diver
sified, our relations to our environ
ment become more and more complex
and our. adjustments more delicate, y
Doctor Blackwelder said.
Eventually, after all the latest pos.
sibilities for advancement possessed
by the human species have been ex-
hausted, the race may conceivably
sink back to the general level Of the
lower savages, which are but little
above the other mammals" kansas

When ingenuity Trlurnphed.

Caught short ON time with a New
York opening date booked, and fac.
ing huge loss for each days delay,
a moving picture producer made ar
rangements to edit, title, and cut the
play en- route between Los Angeles
and the eastern metropolis recently.
With a special car equipped as lab
oratory and attached to a limited
train, the work was found entirely
practical even while speeding east
ward at a mile minute or more.
Twenty-eight heavy steel containers
carried the original film, which re-
manned in the 'can" all the time 1t
was not actually in use. Editors and
cutters worked continually, stopping
only for meals and for a few hours
sleep at night, and on these occasions
every scrap Of film was returned to
its proper container. The work was
entirely successful; and by the time
the train arrived In New York the film
was finished and ready for delivery

STAR AND uNpERsTuDY

For every star there is an under
study, no matter how high ON the lad
der one may be, just below him is an
other, ready and waiting to take his
place, says the Sioux City Journal
Both are stimulated to effort by the
knowledge that one is above, the other
below. The star must exert himself &c
retain his best hold upon his place,
knowing that il he shall slip he is lost
The understudy must be ready to step
into the stars place at a moments no
tice. 1t is a case of the survival OF
the fittest. Life is filled with stars
and understudies. star is no sooner
set than another rises to take its place
Always some one is in preparation for
the high places in life, however ex
allied they may be. No man is so In
dispensable that another equally capa
Bile cannot be found to fill his place
when he drops out of the play. Thus
does the world reyolve in its orbit
pursuing its ordered way, undisturbed
by the constant ebb and flow of hu.
man life.

BE thankful for hard times. They
ing except depression could solve the
intricate problems which Americans
have been creating during the last dec
ade. An eastern preacher says this.
In many ways, he is right. Boom times
make people wasteful, careless, indif-
ferent to the future, negligent of their
fellow mems problems and welfare.
Then providence sends US hard times,
to bring us back to normal-to sanity.
In hard times we learn to solve the
"unsolvable problems" We also learn
that man has no problems except those

IL a mans home is his castle, says
the Baltimore Sun, his bathtub should
certainly be considered outside the
sphere of governmental control. 1t is
therefore with some suspicion that
one reads the announcement of the
federal bureau of education to the
effect that each good American should
battle at least twice a week; but,
fortunately, there is no intimation that
the government will set inspectors on
the track of those who refuse to adopt
this standard of cleanliness. AS it
stands, this official rule is only a
recommendation, and there seAks some
chance that Americans will observe it
in view of the bureaus failure to
specify the temperature of the water
which constitutes the bath. One hears
quite frequently that a daily tub of
frigid liquid provides a mental and
moral stimulus which cannot be OBJ
tanned in any other way, but in spite
of It's much-heralded virtues, the cold
plunge still runs poor second to the
old-fashioned weekly ablution.

1t would go hard with the birds if
their case were left to be decided upon
argument alone. But robins are their
own best advocates, says the Detroit
Free Press. They come in the spring
-vandals that they are-and start a
deeply planned campaign to cultivate
eyerybody's friendship. The deep
woods know them not; they never
skulk In the bushes, nor flee the pres
ence of man. Instead they choose the
lawn for hunting ground, build their
nests even on porches and window
stills, and never let the sun 60 down
without song delivered from the
most conspicuous perch on the place.
The robins cheerfulness Is irresistible ;
his neighborliness compelling. 1t is
absolutely impossible not to like him
when he offers such convincing proofs
every day that he likes men.

OXFORD

Oxford, July Swell. Shady, after
taking week off to get up some evil
dence and quieting my nervous pros
tration over getting something more
to tell you about Oxford, we ask that
you take off your hat, or it may be
big sunbonnet, to receive the goods
for which asked.
Now then, to begin with, we had the
biggest acreage of melons, canta-
loups and tomatoes that has ever been
planted here, but for some unseen
cause, except bugs, honey-dew or some
, other parasite, our crops were some
what of failure. But even with that,
we shipped from Oxford 446 cars of
watermelons, 157 cars of tomatoes
and "a cars of cantaloupes beside the
local shipments by express. Now then,
you may get your breath if you have
not collapsed. Remember now that
this is no evidence that we are rich
by any manner of means, for we can
not control freight rates and prices in
the market. We shipped 500 cars last
year and realized good prices for
them. Even if we did not do so well
this year in the truck business, it does
prove that this community has the soil
that will produce. Besides all this,
our land makes all the corn we need
without a 'smell' of fertilizer. When
the price of pork was good, we ship
ped from thirty to forty cars of hogs
from this place during the fall season.
We can make almost all kinds of
crops that one may want and can
make an orange grove yet.
Now steady your nerves for the
next excitement. We were passing
by the new residence of Mr.. Fl. P.
Leonard the other day and we noticed
a big well machine at work on a well.
! While there was an oil expert stand
| ing near very much enthused Che
seemed to be) and the idea struck US
that an oil we'll might be in progress,
and before any of the Oxford people
could realize any of the facts in the
case and to the great pleasure of Mr..
Leonard, the drill dropped into a real
pocket and it was such good water
that Mr. ". B. Turner, the we'll drill
ing man, moved his machine to an
other place. Now put up the camphor,
the biggest things has been told.
Mr.. F. E. Wetherbee of Leesburg,
but well known in Oxford, passed thru
our way last Tuesday en- route to
Ocala, where he expects to spend the
fourth.
Mr.. C. C. Driggers made business
trip to Groveland last Tuesday to pur-
chase lumber for the bungalow he viii
erect soon.
Now, Shady. in haste we shall ask
you a question to settle an argument.
We saw the airplane you mentioned
recently and we often discuss the
question of how far machine can be
seen. If you will tell Us the location
of Shady, and also what direction the
machine came over you. we can get
an idea. They were northwest of this
place between 10 and II O'Clock. Guess
we were looking at the same object
that time.
We have often heard it said that
stolen kisses are the sweetest. Maybe
so, if both parties are accessory to the
crime(?) Now smile.
