Early Eoyptian Hairdresslnq.

The hairdressing Of early Egyptian
times is Interesting. Wigs were ex-
ceedingly popular, through many dy-
nasties, for both men and women. The
women, however. in various instances
were rather more inclined to let their
own hair grow long, arranging 1t witn
extreme simplicity by hanging fore
lock over each shoulder In front anu
letting the rest hang straight down
the back. 1t appears, from some oid
statues, that they occasionally inter-
wove beads or some sort Of pendant
with these front locks, which DOUBT
less helned keep them in place. linen,
too. they sometimes wore sort ol
filet, a device perhaps borrowed from
the Greeks. More elaborate heau-
dresses were also INDUCED In. some
statues show strange, almost colicai
affairs upon the heads, which archaeoi'
ogists say contained balls wet WIN
some fragrant oil which trickled SLOW
ly through the hair and over the NECK
and shoulders. Perfumes were saiu
to be extremely popular among the''
early people.

to insure his life and happiness. 1t
is this principle of love that makes
this and civilization possible. 1t was
a great thing to have friend. We
each one of us need one another. 1t
is a great principle of Masonry that
there is no such thing as man saved
by himself. Another characteristic of
Masonry is humility. Humility means
the recognition that man is as moth
ing in the presence of his Divine
Maker. The great men Of History
have been holy and humble men of
heart and the best of men is he who
serves best. He who came in great
humility" set forth the fundamental
principles of brotherhood, which are
likewise the fundamental principles
of the Masonic Order Think Of the
obligation taken and of the Masonic
prayers we say! Think Of the ender
mercies of God; Then live up to
your Masonic obligations and keep
your pledges inviolate and you VIII
become better and nobler men.

This is q good text for Masons. For
while the world has built up an at
mosphere of mysticism and mystery
around Masonry; it's teaching is very
simple and beautiful. 1t is designed to
satisfy the aspirations of the human
soul. 1t is summed up in the sum-
mary of the law. by Jesus Christ.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind. This is
the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it; Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself.
On these two commandments hang
all the Law and the Prophets" All
this is mighty good Masonic Doctrine.
The Mason who believes and follows
such teaching is a good Mason. st
John has been called the Apostle Of
Love; and ST. Paul says: Love
worketh no i'll to his neighbor, there
fore love is the fulfilling of the law"
Speaking of love then We do not mean
personal affection but that love which
goes out and helps a brotherman
when he is in need. 1t is that sort
of love which elevates and betters
the one to whom it is administered.

DEFEND CARLoT
BUYERS At FOOD
PROBE HEARING
Witness at Lincoln Says Sys.
tenn Of Distribution Is as
important as the
Production.

Lincoln, Aug. 27.-Testifying at
the state food investigation at the
capitol Wednesday morning. Charles
Dickinson, a local carlot buyer, de-
Tended "carlot buyers" and said that
distribution of foodstuffs by this
class of men was as vital as the
production.
Y After explaining his business as
that Of buying potatoes and other
perishables in carload lots, and esti-
mating that jobbers and wholesalers
bought IS per cent. of their stock
from "carlot men," Mr.. Dickinson
declared that this class of middle
men performed a function in the
machinery of distribution as neces-
sary as the wagon that transports
the produce from the field to the
cars"
"I consider it just as necessary
to distribute by "carlot" as it is to
raise the produce"
Mr.. Dickinson said that jobbers
could not handle this field to the
elimination of the carlot man be-
cause they could not keep buyers
continually in the field and often
might not purchase more than one
car of certain commodity a week.
The witness said the prevailing
practice was to buy a car of produce
and sell it "rolling"-that is, while
it was on the way to a diversion
point on the railroad.
we buy as low as we can and
sell as high as we can" he explain
ed. 1--WE have to sell the produce
while the car is moving at the best
price we can get-perhaps at gain
and often at loss"
He said his gross business in 1918
was $2l8,7So5S, and his net profit
was $9.785.50, without counting on
anv salary for himself.
R. w. DeVoe, county food admin
istrator. estimated the net profit
was 4 IL per cent. on the gross
business.

the change into effect at this time.
AT the beginning of the world war

day they are paying II per cent up
on the net income, plus an excess
profits tax, plus war profits tax.

dition thereto a tax in excess OF l
