Under the reorganization plans the
men OF Zion City will be permitted

there is little to be performed in
Zion. Under the old plan the resi-
dents were not permitted to work bey-
ond the limits of their own city. and
as the church was compelled to pro
vide for the unemployed this some
times had been severe drain on the

JUST A COMPARISON.


The object OF this article is to |
prove that $1,000 worth of ccporan
prove that 81 900 worth of crop can
not be raised in one year on so
acres of land In the Mississippi val |
ley states under the most favorable
conditions. Suppose 40 ares is plant
ed to corn ana the crop amounts TO
40 bushels to the acre. There isl
1000 bushels which at the average
price, say 30 cents, is worth $4,000.
On 20 acres wheat is raised and We
will say the average yield is 3 bush
els to the acre. Seventy cents is
pretty high for wheat year by year,
but let IT go at that and there is $210
more. Now suppose 10 acres more
is sowed in oats. while FIVE acres is
reserved for buildings. lots. yard, ete-
II the oats yield 50 bushels to the
acre and the price obtained is 25
cents a bushel. there is sl31.25 more.
This now makes total of sS2i.25
worth OF crop raised on almost un-
exceptionable eighty which is all in
cultivation except hVe acres To
tend such a farm would require the
constant work early and late of a
good man and team from the latter
part of April to the first of December.
or course only small part of this
produce can be sold and converted
into ready cash, the intention here
is simply that $1,000 worth of crop
cannot be raised on eighty acres OF
land in the Mississippi Valley.
Now a crop of that value has been
raised on one acre OF land in the IA
nous Grand Valley. not once but
times without number. And the fin
est thing about It is that IL is sold
for cash and the grower gets the
money long before Christmas. just
thing OF the difference in labor be-
tween taking care of one acre and
planting and eultivating and harvest
ing 40 acres OF corn. besides 90 acres
OF wheat and l 3 acres OF oats.-Pali-

Public Collection F!

London, Dec. 19.-The great fund
which has been the result OF the
queens request for public collection
to aid the poor and unemployed is
to be demonstrated tomorrow. The
fund already amounts to s59O'OOO,
and it is expected that before the
distribution it will aggregate $1,000
90. II started with the queen three
weeks ago with an exhibition OF prae-
tical benevolence by the-queen her
self. who donated $4,000 and ap-
pointed the lord mayor of London and
Lord De Gray as a distributing cont
mittee.
This committee will probably be
augmented by the addition of sever
al other men who have had eXper
ience in charitable work among the
moor of London. There are three
ex-ofiicio members-the president oi
the local government board. the ehiei
secretary for ireland and the seere
tary of Scotland. Lord De Gray Is
treasurer of the queens household
and upon his shoulders more than OF
any other member of the committee
rests the responsibility OF seeing ina

TO MAKE 1T A PARK.

Colorado citizens will acclaim with
one voice the effort now being made
by Congressman Brooks to secure the
passage Of a bill by congress Great
ing a national park that shall include
the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas
river, says the Colorado Springs Tel
egraph.
There is no good reason that any
Colorado citizen can suggest why this
bill should not pass. and there are
several reasons who it should pass,
In the first place. the Royal Gorge
is open at any time TO settlement for
purposes of agriculture. and the rails
