of fighting the "one big union" move
inert, according to testimony offered
hy the urion in its snit to recover
$i0(.000 Mr. Parker is alleged to
huve misappropriated. 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

Part of the Romance of Civilisation

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.
