Tattoolna Made an Art

Tattoolng is an art SO old that its
origin is lost to historical records,
having been practiced when the cave
men went out to club their fellows.
In the MarQuesas Islands, the most
distant and most mysterious Of South
sea archipelagos, tattoolug reached its
highest development, and there 1t was
the most beautiful form Of art known.
For a man in the Marquesas to
lack the tattooed Stars of Terror upon
his face, and to have bare counte-
nance, was to be poltroon and de-
spised by the tribe. Frederick O'Brlen
says In the Century Magazine that to
achieve fairly complete picture on
ones body meant many months Of IN
tense suffering and the expenditure Of
much wealth.

Of lost thoughts. A greater loss than
that Of time would be avoided-the
loss of the dignity and power which

Brothers Only in AdversIty.

Men have never felt themselves to be
brothers In good fortune, in pride, in
ambition in success, In the emotion
born of conquest and of enjoyment Of
earthly blessings; but in the face Of
danger, in misfortune, In times Of trial,
Guglielmo Ferrero writes in the ATTAIN
tic.
Christianity could bid men to regard
one another and to treat one another
as brothers, because at the same time
1t told them that they were weak and
imperfect creatures needing to assist
one another and always menaced by
the enemy they held concealed within
themselves. The nineteenth century,
on the contrary told men that they
were brothers, but told them at the
same time that they were destined,
one and all, to be monarchs of the
universe.
And in order to be monarchs Of the
universe, men and nations, instead of
embracing like brothers, threw them
selves upon one another, arms in hand.

EGYPT'S BOOK OF THE DEAD
Contents Throw Interesting Light on
the Morals Of the People Of That
Ancient Period.

Book OF the Dead" more properly
called the Book of the Manifestation
OF Light Is the name Of the most ia
nous book Of the ancient Egyptians, &C.
cordlng to the Detroit News. 1t dates
from the fourth dynasty, 1892 to 1850
B. O.. and is written In Egyptian Hero
glyphics. 1t contains prayers and ex-
orcisms for the benefit Of the soul on
Its long perilous journeys In the low
er world, as well as minute instruc-
tons by which It may vanquish the
frightful monsters that will assail 1t
before reaching the first gates Of
heaven.
The text Of the Book Of the Dead"
carefully revised and with illustra-
tons, was published by NJ. Edouard
Naville In 1880 TRANSACTIONS also having
appeared In several European Ian
guages. The following sentences from
the book. In the souls defense before
Osiris, are interesting as throwing
light on Egyptian morals: Il have
not been intoxicatedl have not told
secrets; I have not told falsehoodai
have not defraudedI have not SLIM
dered; have not caused tears have
given food to the hungry, drink to the
thirsty and clothes to the naked"

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 31.-Steps to- ward gradual disarmament of all world powers may be taken early in the administration of President-elect Harding, according to authoritive in- formation from his headquarters here.

It would work out scheme whereby nations could dispense with their war equipment.

ARKANSAS SWEEPS IN
 GOOD STORAGE PLANTS

Arkansas is keeping pace with other sweet potato growing states in the building of modern potato curing plants and within the last year curing houses at seven different towns in the state have been built with a total ca pacity of S2,000 bushels, besides many smaller plants that have been erected on the farms of the state.
 Government reports show 20 per cent increase in sweet potato storage facilities for the year of 1920. It is estimated that about 6,000000 bushels of sweet potatoes have been kiln dried and are now being held for more favorable prices. Arkansas has her share of this valuable product in storage. W. H. Laney, assistant mar keting agent of the agricultural ex- tension division of the University of Arkansas, who is assisting the sweet potato farmers in providing modern means of storage, reports large curing plants at the following cities in the state; Hope, 5000 bushel capacity; Ashdown, 12,000 bushels; DeQueen, 10000 bushels, Prescott, 5000 bushels; Crossett, 10000 bushels; Bentonville, 10000 bushels, and Dardanelle, 20,- 900 bushels.
 Some of these houses are not filled to capacity but they are taking care of large quantity of potatoes which are keeping in good condition. This good storage probably will enable the farmers of those communities to get better returns from their potatos by later in the season.
