HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1932. PAGE THREE MAN In many forms There is plenty of evidence that the types of human beings which now inhabit the earth are not the only animals of our species that ever lived. In Sumatra the natives have long known of the existence of a tribe of ape-men, who live in an inaccessible mountain country. One of these was recently shot, al though it is illegal to kill them, and the body has been sent to Holland for examination by scientists, who think these "orang letjos" may be survivors of one of the races which preceded the modern man on the earth. In the Sahara desert the bones of several members of a race, which was much like, yet curiously unlike human beings of today, have just been unearthed. Similar discover ies over many years in Germany, France, China and South Africa lead to the belief that not one but several different species of humans and near-humans once inhabited many parts of the world. Perhaps the folk-myths of giants, satyrs and earth-dwelling gnomes have come down from remote times when survivors of these primitive types same into contact with our own ancestors, who themselves were better able to survive the changing rigors of a developing world be cause of their superior agility and brain capacity. FRANKFURTER , to the bench In Washington, during the War, Irreverent newspaper men used to call him the "Happy Sausage." That is a somewhat strained translation of Felix Frankfurter's name, since "Felix" is good Latin for "Happy" and everybody knows that a frank furter is a sausage! But the same men who nicknam ed him used also to say that he had the best-functioning set of brains in Washington, and that was say ing a good deal, in a time when Woodrow Wilson and Newton D. Baker were both there and using theirs. Felix Frankfurter's appointment by Governor Ely to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts has started a storm of protest, because he was the champion of Sacco and Van- zetti, whose execution for murder was regarded by the radicals of the world as due to their Communist activities rather than to any real proof of their guilt. Frankfurter, since 1914 a profess or in Harvard Law School, believed j the two men were innocent, and said so. That put him on the "black list" of the conservatives of Bos ton, who were sure the men were guilty because they were Commun ists. But great lawyers, judges and statesmen call Felix Frankfurter, the Austrian Jew who came to Am erica at the age of twelve, one of the ablest legal minds in the world. ROMANCE on a door sill Bob Millikan came back to the home of his ancestors the other day and made a talk to the village folk on the occasion of the local celebration of the Washington Bi centennial in the town of Stock bridge, Mass. He is known to all the world as Professor Robert A. Milllken of the California Institute of Technology, and the world's greatest living physicist, who dis covered the cosmic rays. He told us how his grandfather, Dan Milllken, came across the mountains from over Becket way, a hundred years ago, as an appren tice to Sam Pease, the village shoe maker. He married Sally Pease and went out to Ilinols to farm it in the prairie country. His son Silas kept on farming, but sent his boy Bob to the University of Chicago. And Bob Milliken came all the way from the Pacific Coast the oth er day because, as he told us, he wanted to see If he could find the house where his grandfather used to "skive" shoeleather on the sill of the back door. He'd recognize it from the knife-marks left by the shoemaker's apprentices. And sure enough, he found the gashes on Doctor Clyne's back-door sill! It made all the Stockbridge peo ple feel very romantic to have such a living link with the town's past. SANDERS of the people Like speaker Garner, Everett Sanders, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, was born In a log cabin. He was a member of Congress from Indiana when President Coolidge made him his secretary. In that job he won from Mr. Coolidge the high praise that he was "a man of great ability and discretion." Sanders started life as a clerk in a shoe store, and sold more shoes than anybody else who ever worked there. Perhaps, his friends say, that is one reason why ho understand people from the ground up. Cover Crop Hlgli l' Nitrogen Corvallls Curious to know how much plant food he was turnln under when plowing down a cover- crop of vetch and oats, Gllmore Hector, a farmer near here, had the elements in the heavy crop cs tlmated and discovered that he was plowing under 65 pounds of nltro gen per acre alone, equivalent to the amount of 400 pounds of ammo nium sulfate. In addition to the fertilizing value, Mr. Hector hopes to gain much from the added or ganlc matter In the soil which an Important factor In retaining moisture through the dry summers, Ho plans to watch carefully the feet of the cover crop on the regu lar crop to be grown on the field this year.

Children were stricken in widely separated neighborhoods. The wa ter supply was all right; so was the milk and so were the general sani tary conditions. Yet new cases continued to develop. Finally the mystery was solved, doctor discovered a domestic ser vant who was a "carrier" of typhoid germs. Though perfectly well her self, she took the disease with her wherever she went. She became nationally famous under the name ' "Typhoid Mary." Times like the present produce lot of male "Typhoid Marys." The germs they carry are rumors and fears. One of them came to see me last October when things were look ing very bad. Shaking his head dolefully, he suggested that I ought to have some money tucked away In gold. I blew up and rained all over him. said: "My bank is strong and liquid. It will be solvent unless the United States is insolvent. And if things get to a point where Uncle Sam is busted, then what good will gold be, do you, think? Do you imagine for one moment that, in a period of general chaos, the mass of people would deal tenderly with those who had helped to bring on the crisis by hiding gold?" My general attitude in this whole situation has been as follows: ' 1. I pay little attention to the market quotations on good bonds, preferred or common stocks. Either they are worth a lot more than their current prices or they are worth nothing. In either case there is nothing I can do about it 2. If the worst were to happen I have enough egotism to believe that could make a living and provide for my family under any sort of government or any sort of condi tions. 3. I keep a white horse and ride him every day. If we have a social upset you will find me right at the head of the people's parade on my white horse. And the first place we shall head for will be the homes of the hoarders. Some day, in the not far distant future, we shall have to look back on this period and consider the rec ord we made. And when my young ster climbs on my knee and says, Dad, what did you do in the pan ic?" I don't want to have to answer, was smart and yellow, sonny. I hoarded gold." 50AC Now on Full Time With Broader Programs A 12-hour schedule daily except Sunday has been resumed by KOAC, the Oregon State college radio sta tion, which on July 1 began a series of programs which will include lec tures, music and other talent from not only the college but from Uni versity of Oregon, and Oregon Nor mal school as well. Control of the station was recent ly placed under the general exten sion service headed by Dean Alfred Powers of Eugene.

The farm and homemaker features as well as oth er offerings from the State college will be continued as formerly. W. Kadderly, program director for several years, continues as manager of operations and programs and head of the radio department of the general extension division.

Where a little patch of land is available it is used for garden stuff, mostly, but sometimes a club mem ber can manage to have a patch turned over to him for corn or po tatoes. It is therefore all the more important that the best culture be given the crops. The people are ap preciative when they see that club work actually gets results. Burton Valley Club News. Our meeting was called to order by the president, Lola Cannon. The secretary, Mary Mclntyre, read the minutes of the last meeting. The material received from the Oregon Agricultural college was examined and discussed. We selected the ar ticles from the list that we wished to make and decided on the mater ials best suited to make each. We had each brought a bleached flour sack to make our first article. The handwork class are to make a stand cover and the sewing class a tea towel. We pulled threads to even our work and trimmed the edges. This took up most of our time so we spent the remainder of our time in discussing the design we wished to put on our work. Lola Cannon and Nona Howell, news reporters. Witehen Kooks Meet. The Boardman Kitchen Kooks 4-H club met last Thursday aftetr noon at the Channing home. There were seven members present Mrs. Coats will be our leader this month while Mrs. Macomber is awav. Echo Coats, reporter. Happy Hearts Meet The Happy Hearts 4-H club met July 6th at the home of Florence Green, Those present were Patsy Smith, Frances Egan, Kathryn JfMOB Helps Hill Children. It doesn't seem to matter much where boys and girls live, if there is any chance at all to carry on 4-H club projects they do it in some way or another. Take Kanawha coun ty, West Virginia. It has the larg est enrollment of any county in the state some 1100 boys and girls. As a farming section is has little to recommend it. The county is most ly embraced in the valley of the Kanawha river. The country is very rough and almost mountain ous. The young folks have to make their own social life, and here is where 4-H club work has "come into the picture. It has provided a means of bringing the young folks together in a social way and at the same time made their diversion count for something in keeping up the home and appearances. In some parts of the county there are mining settlements and here 4-H club work is the only social diver sion for the young people. Club work was started when some business men in the county and in Charleston made funds avail able to the boys and girls for the purchase of pigs, lambs, chickens and seed for club projects. Club members have many handicaps to contend with in such a county, es pecially in the case of livestock, Proper feeds are not always avail able, nor shelter, and predatory anl mals are a nuisance. So the work is not up to the average found in better agricultural sections, but nevertheless it is supplying a great need.
