George Seal, former grand secretary' treasurer, testified to the r.I.l.000. statin; it v. as Lis understanding the money was to be used to strengthen exist ing labor organization in the domin ion and to combat the propaganda for a union of ali organizations which would have disrupted the brother hood. Other witnesses gave testimony to support the union's charge that funds designed for organization and other work were used by Mr. Barker in real estate ventures. Thirty pieces of property ia Detroit were purchas ed by the former president, it was alleged. The testimony brought out that when Mr. Barker was removed from office more than a year ago, the unlcn had a membership of 400,000, and the income from dues was $3. 200.000 annually. The president's salary wen Jl-i.OOO and fourteen vice presidents received $S,000 each. Part of the Romance of Civilisation and of Man Pyramids Erect ed to Tell Time By. Washington. Oct. 18. The evolu tion of the calendar, from the days when man could count only from day to day, thru the time when the lu nar month was reckoned as a "year," to the present time of an almost uni versally used time counting system, is a romance of the history of men. Piecing together the few known facts of the calendar's life story, scientists have found different interpretations and uses for well known facts and re mains of early life. For instance, according to Mores B. Cotsworth', writing in a r?cent publication of the Pan American un ion, the well known Egypt iv.ii pyra mids were not erected by cirly mon arch s of thr.t realm as monuments to their greatness nor as tombs for their bodios; but were huge sun dials with the sari of which the yearly preces sion of the equinoxes v. as discovered and tfcc calendar devised. : The pyramids were constructed by , mathematicians -and astronomers. Mr. Cotsworlh holds. The size, height ; and slopes of each being determined ; to aid astronomy. Each of the piles hcary on the main line. Our Wymore division is the one part of the Ne braska district where business has slackened. We are short of cars but we have plenty of power to handle all the busrnese we can load." Mr. McGinnis reports that the Northwestern, though short of cars, was able to supply power to move all load and that a heavy traffic was being handled. Ail railroads are short of cars. Turrday reports showed that the Northwestern has asked for bids on S0 ore cars; that the Rock Island is in the market for 3.500 cars and that the Santa Fe is asking for bids on 2,500 box cars. Other smaller or ders have teen placed by western roads. in the Lincoln territory the de mand for cars for the movement of sand and building material is strong. : Just now the capito! corf-actors are tryirg to accumulate 100 carloads of sand before the sand freezes. Sand . rannot be handled when it freezes, 1 becauses it solidifies ia the cars and cannot be unloaded. - j It is agreed that if the roads had ! all the cars that would be loaded I that traffic would be congested and ! in one way the shortage helps to keep ' traffic moving by preventing yard ' own items under the above camion. ' and we hope that these various items will be of mutual interest to our readers and especially the members of the church. Thank you, editor, for your Jour nal space.
