thou&b&forcqg to. rely on clubs ex
clusively for ‘hunting, he was not in.'
ferlor to the Neandérthal man as a'
hunter.' Theij; was no flint in the
regicn in which he lived and he had
to use inferior stone of very little
service as (d_'l“"as. providing weapons
was cc~recrxxéh. '
His most ¢ommon game was tha
huge cave bea(i‘. To modern man us-‘
Ific firearms |to bag much smaller
apimals, the performance of the pre
listoric hunter against the creature
i 4 aéeapted as proof that the heavy
sfifll of the early man covered a
c‘;:r;d.ln amount of grey matter. |
%e agimal had started years be-}
fote e: 4 normal sized bear but the
hijh mountain air or perhaps the
tood ca*Sed him to become far larg
et than ithe grizzly and about as big
’M fllp &aeati;\\laskall bears of today.
;fl“fteohi wire terrible ,in size and
sttength, yet:he was laregly a plantl
edter and with his wide, short and
| almost retrousse snout, his extraordi
narily high and straight forehead, he
{must have had a curiously mild and
open countenance, the scientists -say.
It seems likely to them that he would
have remained a calm, philosophical
beast had he been left undisturbed.
The usual method of attack seems
to have been hitting the bear with a
;woodr-n- club on the base of the sen-:
sitive snout to stun him, then des-§
patching him. A certain number of
the animals’' skulls show the nosesi
crushed, usually on the left side, in
dicating that the hunters were pre
dominently right handed. |
Sometimes the wound was healed
and in such cases it remains an open
guestion whether the(huixter escaped;
his prey. Dodging an infuriated,
wounded bear, the size of 4 healthy
ox, with no other protection than a 1
wooden club, or a handy stone, had
the elements of exciting sport. |
The bear furnished not only food
and clothing for the cave man but
also a great number of tools. The
bones, aspecially the small bone of
the leg below the knee, made u‘e-’
ful implements. In fact, chamois!
hunters today employ a similar bone?
in skinning their game, ;

It is' all wrong to assume that be-
;‘causev a man is a preacher,.he must
be perfect—could commit no sin. We
:'should always hope that the person
Iwho feels the callv to preach will not
enter the ministry without first hav
ing firmly bound himself to christian
example in his own living. The per
sonal example of the great Saint Paul
is the Bible example for the preacher.
It will do to follow. We must never
surrender the idea that the preacher
must be strict in his personal con
duct.
L fiufi it is human weakness to; as
sume thaf the preacher 18 niore than
‘human—;-iE is )us} as great a mistake
to do that a 8 ta eriticise the preach
er because he is a preacher. With
some folks we know he is all wrong
E!(%B%E}'e yh‘l sy A pr?kac_l'ge:%é'rhat
ist't fail 40 the dreat cduse he’is in.
We think the preacher's life ought
to be so strongly consecrateq to the
cause he is in that his-person;\lwc.cm'-
duct should never come into question.
We've seen preachers whose personal
example is such at times as to cause
us to question whether he is out of
his place all together in the ministry.
But then, we must keep in mind that
he is human, too, and that means
that he can make mistakes. He isn't
all wise—isn't perfect—and yet—and
vet—consecrated and faithful, he may
lead onward and upward through the
straight and narrow path as a real,
soldier of the Cross. All that while‘
he is still human—and just a nreach-'

THAT JONES SHERIFF
This is a prediction which we do
not like to make, b\‘;t'yo\ivmay watchg
it—it will come true. Clark Middle-|
hrooks is not a fit man to be entrust-!
ed withy the sLeriff’s office in a ncuce-'
loving orderly county. He has been'
left on his job in Jones county byf
a jury in an impeachment trial after
indictment and conviction for con
spiracy in prohibition enforcement
cases in the federal court. =
| "We carnoot’ izay how guilty he was
in the federal charges, He was con
victed by a jury. We‘capnot say
how worthy he is to continue in of
fice in Jones county, for we do noti
know just what.type of sheriff will
please in Jones county. We do know
that impeachment hag fallen downm in,
Jones cgunty—and he did not haveil
to make a fight. The jury came back
with a pronounced , verdict for the
officer who stands convicted in fed-1
eral court. He is going one of these
days to serve that time. Moa‘st‘likelyl
he will: We do not know just what;
the people of Jones county will want
to do about it. We simply know‘
they have refused to turn him out
of public office. ‘
But ‘back to the prophecy. Cla\rk‘|
Middlebrook is the wrong type of man
fer enforcement of the law atxywhere.l
We have all the evidence we want‘
of that thing in the past criminal
record of Jomes county—the bootleg-‘
ger interests alone. One lone otficer(
of the law with courage can clean
up Jones county where Clark Middle-i
brooks has let it become the rendez-.
vous of the remegade hootlegger, thel
Vicious, murderous type. More mur-|
derls have occurred in Jones county—l

Dairying—The first cost of dairy
cattle and the equipnient necesséry
‘makes the investment higher than for
thogs, but the business is safer for
the beginner. In the first place, sales
!of dairy products begin to bring in
‘money promptly, and these sales and
‘the returns are constant or regular.
‘More ‘human labor is marketed in
dairy products, whica is also an ad
}vantage. Moreover,. if the business
‘does not pay, no long period, with
‘\heavy investment ang no sales, oc
curs before the dairyman knows
:whether he is making or losing mon
‘ey. There is no safer or better line
of livestock production for the cot
ton farmer to add to his farming op
ierations than dairying. We don’t ad
vise it as a substitute for cotton.
‘We don't advise anyone who does not
jknow the- business to invest his all
in a lot of dairy cows and then have
to ‘buy/iféed for them, but- we do con
‘»tldently vsa}" that any cotton farmer

Pouitry Production—For the iame
reasons given why dairying is safe
and profitable, poultry production is
also safe ang profitable. jln the case

‘Gertrade Lythcoe, 30, once nation

from New York to “rest, renew my
acquaintance and probably remain.”
The sparkling brunette, ~whose
picturesque adventure throug'h Ha

and back to the United States have
earned her the queenly title of Cleo
patra as well, aceounted for her lorig'
absence by saying she had been com
pleting a book, “Wsen My = Ship
Comes In,” a partial autobiography.
She said she had severed all con
nections with the Bahamas, and had
dropped the rum business. .
She spoke of her friendship "with
Ruth Adelle Smith, pretty bootleg
queen of the Pacific arrested here
November 18 on a liquor conspiracy
charge and subseqently releaseéd on
bond.
There remains a single score to be
settled before she is at peace with
the world, she admitted.
