~OsNAhSJ
Much praise is being given the
county agent of Hancock county for
the splendid work being effected
there through his activity. Mr..
Truitt as agent has made 1000 visits
to the farms of his county in year,
has counseled with more than 1000
in his office and given advice to 984
by telephone. He wrote nearly 1000
personal letters, and enrolled in the
poultry club 65 members, in the corn
club "a members, in the boys and
girls club 1914 members. More than
1000 attended the farm and field
meetings that he called. 1t is esti-
mated that he saved the farmers
5000 on the purchase Of corn, more
than $4,000 on vetch clover and other
crops, and $5O7 was realized from
three poultry sales. AS home eco
nomic work parallelled this farm
demonstration, the savings and the
human benefits of the combined ed
ucational work is inestimable. How
can any county afford to be penny
wise and pound foolish in the expen-
diture of salaries for either the farm
or home agent? 1t is a dear econo-
my to do without one.

by the students was sufficiently
strong but permission from the par

International Tune

The familiar melody of Hes jolly
Good Fellow" tradition says, was
learned by the Crusaders from the
Arabs in Palestine. Surviving in vari-
GUS forms, it sprang into great pOpu-
larity in France in 1866 by being fitted
to lament for the Due de Guise.
A century and half later French
officer, on the eve of the battle of NAL
plaquet, wrote a satirical poem on the
English commander and welded 1t to
the old tune. "Malbrook sen va ten
guerre," was sung throughout the
length and breadth Of France.
Beethoven used 1t in his Battle
Symphony" as symbolical Of the
French army. 1t came to England
and the English folk found that they
had known it for long time to the
classic words which greeted the prince
Of Wales at Montevideo. The Arabs,
they say, still sing it, and it is the
favOrite air of the people of Hawaii

Courage Not Lacking
in Nednderfhdl Man

II one has the Neanderthal type of
skull, one ought to find compensation
in having the Neanderthal type of
physical courage. Not everything in
primitive man is to be scorned. He
may have been afraid of the thunder
and have invented NEUROLOGICAL deity
to which he attributed it, but he was
not afraid Of the wolf or the bear and
went forth with his trusty stone ak to
slay them.
We only wish that we could retain
more Of his sturdy qualities. Even
the Neanderthal man had q soul. He
understood nature and the procession
Of the seasons, though he had no
chronology. He was very prehistoric
without knowing 1t, and he cared very
little for remote posterity, but he was
solicitous of the welfare of his imme-
date descendants or we should not
be here.
He was creature Of prodigious ap-
petite and all his little Neanderthals
had appetites in proportion, so that
the daily hunt for food was his chief
occupation. Sometimes he came home
empty handed, but when he did make
a killing there was family gorge.
He was being considerably like us
automatically and had a use for his
vermiform appendix. Sometimes his
intellectuals may have been stirred;
and as he sat on the piazza of his cave
of an evening, he may have pondered.
A fine sunset may have moved him,
but not so much as the sight Of a
mastOdon. That moved him nightly
or made him move. He went inside
the cave.
He may have bludgeoned mastodons
with the help of his neighbors; unless
the scientists spoil this speculative
hypothesis by pointing out that John
w. Neanderthal and the mastodon
were not cOntempOraneous.
