ANIMALS TO TALK TO MAN Noted German Seientizt Satfefied Th-.t Condition Will Be Reached In the Future. ‘‘Some day a man will talk to his dog and hia dog will talk to him. So will the man talk to birds of the air. It will be then that al! animal and bird life becomes articulate and a widening of our cosmic horizon, now undreamed of, will result.” This was the statement at Los Angeles recently, of R. L. Garner, noted philologist and tutor of Maeterlinck, who has spent 25 years in the wilds of the Congo studying the chimpanzee am! the gorilla. From these two animalr, Garner believes will be strung the first twin cables from which scientists will hang a bridge on which man and hia lesser brothers of the world will meet in oracular converse, "A dream, you say?” he continued. “Cannot the bee teach us a higher communism, the quick, effective elimination of the unfit and shirker? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to knowwhy the oriole, the oven bird or castle building ant are so much better engineers than we are? 1 believe the day will come when they will be able to tell us. In many respects the gorilla or chimpanzee is far more civilized than man. You never did or never will hear of either abandoning their wives.” After spending a vacation in Los Angeles Mr. Garner intends to return to the Congo for further study of the animals found there. PLAN NEW DUBLIN CATHEDRAL Roman Catholics Likely to Erect House of Worship Worthy of the Irish Capital. Roman Catholic Dublin’s desire for a great city cathedral is likely to be satisfied at last. The present procathedral in Marlborough street has never been regarded as anything more than a stop-gap. The two fine cathedrals in the city, St. Patrick's and Christ Church, are, of course, the property of the Church of Ireland. Some time ago the corporation acquired a site at Ormond Market, on the northern quays, for the erection of workmen’s dwellings. The scheme was never popuiar and is open t grave objection. The Roman Catholic archbishop of Dublin has now offered to purchase the Ormond Market area as a site foi a cathedral at the amount which the corporation paid for it. The suggestion for a Roman Catho lie cathedral at this spot came fron Prof. Patrick Geddes. who advocate' a new' artery of traffic which woul bring the two Protestant cathedralinto line with a new Roman Catholic building. Aroused Painful Memories. All Farmer Hayseed’s hands were in the village choir. At Christma they used to come round to their master’s home, and after much sing ing, or rather baw-ling, receive rgratuity. This Christmas being an extremely dark night, they took f stable lantern with them, and ar ranged themselves on Hayseed’s lawn They had scarcely got through th< first verse of “While shepherdwatched” when the old farmer's hear appeared at the window, and a voic. floated through the air. “Say, you chaps,” roared the glum-looking farm er, as he threw a handful of monej to the peace disturbers, “I'll give mv blessing freely if you'll only sin; ‘Christians, awake,’ or ‘ Ark the ’eralc hangels sing,’ but, for ’eaven’s sake doan’t 'e sing ‘While shepherd; w-atched.’ Last Christmas, whiles yot were a murderin’ that same tune some villyuns come 'long an’ liftedeight of ma best sheep from under your bloomin’ noses.” Importance of Home Life. The re-establishment of the Amer lean home is the only remedy for the social evil and the only hope of (Jo mocracy. declared a speaker at the in ternational purity congress in Kansa; City. “The constant shifting of fam ilies from one section to another pro hibits the long acquaintance amom young people through which propei life partners can be selected,” the speaker said. “Young people arc thrown into contact with strangers become bold and practice deceptions As a result, marriage Is ay ran gee on a guess; the deceptions are discov ered and lead to the divorce court and all too often to Immorality.” Cost of Living in Wartime. Data published in the Statistlsche Korrespondenz are figured out to indi cate the price of wheat in Berlin, al the end of August, was 9-14 per cent above the July 111 price, and that the advance was 16% per cent at the end of September and 26% at the end oi October. Rye had advanced 11% pel cent in August, 21% per cent in September and 30% per cent in October In England the Economist’s “index number” shows the average price oi cereals to have risen from 57.9 at the end of July to 65% at the end of October, and to' 68.3 at the end of No vember.—New York Post. Too Many Holidays. “Pop!” “Ye. 3 my son.” “What arc these dates on the new calendars in red ink?” “Oh, those are holidays.” “Well, why don't they put all the school holidays in red ink?” “Wouldn’t have enough red ink, 1 guess, for that, my bov.”

We Will Show Yon These Hungs On the Low Lilt Spreader THE moment you are ready to drop in —that moment we will be ready to point out and demonstrate to you the features that make the Low Lift manure spreader so popular. The spreader is ready for you now. Travel fart or slow, the speed of the Low Lift beater is always accurately timed to the apron, so the manure is always thoroughly pulverized and covers the ground in a smooth, even spread. The Low Lift end gate will interest you. While the spreader is driven when out of gear, the end gate keeps tire manure from wedging against the beater. Then when thrown into gear the beater starts free and there is no jamming or ripping of gears, and no laige lumps of manure are thrown off at the start. We sell the Low Lift spreader because the makers have taken caro of every j>oiut. Out of many tests and years of ex[>erinieutation, we know they have built the best spreader. And we want > ou to see. <J&fiaferJtardwhre 60. VSTJS TTOZT ttOXTETST
