HOW EARTH BECAME PE0PLED
American Ethnoiogist selIevss South
western Europe Was the Cradle
OF the human Race.

DR.. Ales HrdlIcka, the American eth
nologist, contributes to the proceed
ings Of the American Philosophical
society an important paper on the
peopling Of Asia, which constitutes
one OF the greatest problems of an
thropology." He concludes, says the
Scientific American, that the cradle
Of humanity was essentially. south
western Europe, with later the Medi-
terranean basin, western Asia and AZ
RIGA. 1t is primarily from Europe and
secondarily from these regions that
the earth was peopled, and this peo-
pling was comparatively recent. Early
man was unable to people the globe
owing to his insufficient effectiveness
and until the end Of glacial times and
his old stone culture he had evidently
all he could do to preserve mere ex-
istence Only an advance in culture
could enable him to control his en-
vironment and secure q steady surplus
Of births over deaths. The cause Of
mans peopling Of the world was not a
mere wish to do so, but the necessity
arising from growing numbers and cor
respondingly decreasing supply Of
food. It was this which eventually
led to agriculture. This spreading
over the globe was conditioned by
three great laws-movement In the di-
recti0n Of least resistance; movement
In the direction Of the greatest pros
poets; movement due to q force from
behind. or compulsion.

Gravel road construction under the

average less than $4,000 per mile.
Some has cost less than $1,000. At
this latter price eight miles OF IA
mile stretch in Washington county,

An 18-mile link of the Three C's
highway in Warren county has just
been completed at cost of less than
$4,000 per mile, including ditching
and repairs TO bridges. 1t was the
only section of the route not COM

When the collection was being

president of the exchange, in a suit

Mr.. Cooper argued several minutes
against stating whether other brok-
ers had made deliveries over the ex-
change. He finally replied that he did
not know of any.

force payment of bonuses, and the un-

FEDERATED CHURCH
! s@**4*@s%*s*%%*%'


The men are going to give our boys
a rare treat the last Tuesday of Feb
ruary, when PATTERSON banquet will
be given. Every man in church is
asked to come and to bring his boy
or someone else's boy. Every man in
town is invited also to do the same
thing. This is an event observed the
nation over. A fine speaker will be
secured, music, entertainment will be
provided. We ask every man in town
to keep February rs open for this big
event. Tickets so cents.
The new-building committee is re-
vising plans and getting estimates
ready to submit to the cabinet at it's
monthly meeting February 6. We
want everyone who has suggestions
regarding the addition to give them
to the pastor.
Next Wednesday evening at 7:45
we begin a study Of that much abused
part Of the Bible, Revelation. Any
one who is interested is invited to at
tend our Bible study. The number
attending is increasing right along.
Did you hear what the pastor said
last Sunday? Do you remember these
sentences
"Truth is all that which sustains,
supports and strengthens life;"
"Truth is reality seen in cloudless,
pitiless light;"
''The devil, who is the father of
lies, keeps US running after mirages,
false PHILOSOPHERS and deceits;
"The devil, who is murderer from
the beginning; destroys through us
all good and makes ruin abound"
"Christ before PLATE called Truth
his society of Christian believers, His
kingdom, so those who follow and
practice Truth after accepting Christ
are His disciples;"
death is the result of sin, sin pro-
duces sickness, sickness produces
death;"
"There is no place for death in the
scheme of organized being. Man need
not die, but through sin death comes; =
death is sleep during which as
on earth we recuperate our worn-out
souls, conscious all the time;"
Eternal death is banishment from
God and loved ones whom we will see
but never have converse with;"
death is the seed-tinae Of the
soul, a flower blooms as rose, its
petals fall, the seed remains, which
dormant for a season blooms again
as a rose il!st as before"
A church booklet giving a full list
of members is being prepared. All
who expect to join our church shortly
are asked to do so now, that we may
include their names in the directory.
