RECEIVER FOR ZION
JUDGE LANDS RENDERS pEcls.
ION IN DoWlE-voLlvA CASE.
Election Ordered to Be Held in Sep
TENDER, When the Residents Of
Zion Will Select an overseer-
Hately Takes Charge.

Chicago, July 2S.-Neither John
Alexander Dowie, founder, nor Will
bur Glen Voliva, present general over
seer, is given the property estimated
to be worth from $12,OOO,OO to $21,.
100000, in the decision handed down
by Judge K. M. Lands Of the United
States circuit court in the Zion City
case. Instead, Judge Lands declared
Zion City trust estate, named John
G. Hately, member of the Chicago
board of trade, receiver of the
property. and ordered the holding of
an election Sept. 18, when the people
of the Christian Catholic Apostolic
church in Zion City shall chose their
oyerseer. Judge Lands will decide
later what compensation Dowie will
be allowed for his past services.
The nub of the courts decision is
in the ruling that contributions of
property and money given Dowie was
in trust. Judge Lands declared the
conveyance Of the Zion City property
by Voliva under power of attorney to
John Alexander Granger to be void.
Judge Lands quoted from the writ.
ings Of Dowie to show that the latter
had always regarded the property of
his church as trust. The adjudica-
ton in the bankruptcy proceedings
against Dowie was also set aside so
that pending litigation against Dowie
may automatically be restrained until
the entire litigation is ended.
Receiver Hately's bond of $4,000
was approved by the court and he
went Immediately to Zion City and
assumed charge Of the property.

RACE SUICIDE THEIR TOPIC.

Cupid Softened the Tone of the Old
Maids and Bachelors Convention.
Forest City, Ia, July 26.-Bachelors
and spinsters of Iowa in state con-
vention here, after discussing the
race suicide question at length, were
forced to concede in the question of
government that all rests upon the
home, and that this is SO generally
looked upon as the basis that to place
a bachelor in the field for governor
would be folly. They accordingly in
dorsed the candidacy of Governor
Cummins.
The convention, which was the
most unique in the history of the
state, was called to order In the town
hall by Clinton Merrick, confirmed
bachelor, who was made permanent
chairman. Mr.. Merrick is not an
eloquent, but forceful speaker, and
without hesitancy denounced in his
opening address Roosevelt's race sui.
eide theories, claiming that the coun.
try is injured more by too many births
and not good support for the children.
The cure for social conditions, he
urged. was fewer births and better
education and rearing of the popula-
ton. But there was rupture be-
cause willy Dan Cupid stole into the
convention hall and SO closely shaved
the hearts of men and women that the
gentler side OF all hearts was touched,
and 1t was conceded that though
there may be too many births, mar.
riage is the necessity of the race for
the safety of the country, and homes
the only foundation on which to build
government which will stand. 1t Is
rumored that the convention resulted
in converting several who will leave
spinsterdom and bachelordom to unite
in marriage.

TAUGHT TO RAISE BANANAS.
How q Cape Cod Fisherman Became

How q Cape Cod Fisherman Became
the "Kinx of jamaica"
In the Worlds Work Eugene 2. Lyle,
Jr.. tells the remarkable story Of Cap
tain Baker and jamaica" how this
gentle Cape Cod fisherman became the
king Of Great Britain's richest West
Indian isle. The history of the con-
quest began thirty five years ago with
an armada of one lone schooner. She
had two masts and could carry 100
tons. Her owner and skipper was Lor-
EMO Dow Baker, the son Of whaler
and child Of the sea as well. He
took cargo to Angostura and on his
return trip carried lot Of bananas
But by the time he reached New York
they had all rotted. The next time
he went he got very green bananas.
The fruit was not plentiful, SO he be-
gan to teach the people to grow them.
The first man who has ten acres In
bananas will be rich~man." he told
them with earnest conviction. He
touched intimately the lives Of the
blacks. He was known In their homes
and at their church sOcials and he
helped them TO build the chapel for
which inevitably they were collecting
money. He talked to the school chill
dren, rooms full Of bright-eyed little
pickaninnies, and he told them Of tho
good of money. Then he told them
how to get It. "GrOw bananas" he

Captain Baker had to push his COM

Jamaica he taught people to grow ban
anas, but in the United States he had
to teach people to eat them They
were not yet an ordinary article of diet
and, moreover, the yellow kind from
Jamaica was comparatively unknown.
But he has succeeded. lie revived

Where swine are raised in sufficient
numbers so that they are herGed in
small Enclosures, 1t Is essential to
change these lots yearly If one would
avoid the danger of cholera or other
diseases. The way to accomplish this
to the best advantage is TO have the
swine distributed in small colonies, each
with a movable house. Have the lots
of double size. using one-half of each
lot during the early part of the season
and the other half at the latter part.
This will carry one through the season
with little danger of trouble, and then
these lots should be abandoned for
swine, being cultivated the next year
and new lots provided for the swine
This Is considerable trouble to be sure
but there is no way more certain to
avoid disease than this. Particularly
is this plan valuable In sections where
the soil is inclined to be heavy so that
the filth made by the swine does not
drain into the soil readily.

Improving an Old Orchard.

1t Is often the case that an orchard
in middle life Is found to be no longer
profitable, mainly because mistake
was made In the selection Of the varie-
ties in the beginning. In such cases the
orchard may be made profitable again
by top grating the trees. This is not
difficult task, provided it Is proper
ly done and the union between the
branch and the scion Is perfect. AS
rule branches not over an inch In d.
ameter are the best to work this way.
OF course, it Is understood that the
scions would be much smaller In diam
eter than the parent stock, so the plan
Is to insert two on each outer edge
The main thing to observe Is to be sure
that the bark Of both scion and parent
stock Is in perfect line, so that the flow
Of sap may be perfectly free. Care must
also be taken that the space between
the scions and the parent stock made
by the chlsel be filled with the grating
wax, as we'll as any other spaces III
which the air may get. 1t is not GUS
tomary to leave both Of the CRAFTS, but
to cut out the weaker one If both grow.
This work Is interesting and really very
simple If one gets the knack Of 1t, and
it certainly pays with an orchard that
Is not too old II care Is taken to OBJ
tain scions from known bearing trees
OF the best sorts.

Are you making all there Is to be
made in the dairy business? If not,
why not? This Is question which
every dissatisfied daryman may well
ask himself. When business man or
manufacturer finds his business Is not
paying to suit him he seeks for the
causes Of loss and strives to eliminate
them.
If we investigate we shall find that
the successful dairymen attend to every
little detail that affects their business
They look at everything from a busi-
ness standpoint, save wherever any
thing can be saved, and discard ami
mails or methods that don't pay.
II you are not one Of the success
full dairymen, look around and see why
you are not. There is reason for
everything, and when you know the
reason you are in position to remedy
the trouble. If you have no liking for
your business, the sooner you change
to something you do like the better 1t
will be for you and those dependent up
on you. Have you tested your cows
individually and discarded those which
show by their own performance that
they are not profitable? The Babcock
test and the scales will show which
are profitable and which are not, and 1t
is sheer shiftlessness not to apply such
atest.-Indianapolis News.

Clipping Horses.

The clipping of a horse in the early
snring is now conceded by all the lead
ing veterinarians to be as essential to
his well being as shoeing him or giving
him q comfortable bed to lie on. A
crippled horse dries out rapidly after a
hard days work and will rest com
fortably and be refreshed for the next
dav's work. An unclipped horse Is Ii
able to catch the heaves, pneumonia
and all sorts of colds, etc, because the
moisture from perspiration is held by
tho long hair and chills the body.
A man would not expect to enjoy
vorv good health IL he did hard manual
work clothed with heavy underwear, a
heavy suit and fur overcoat, and after
perspiring freely, as he naturally
would. 60 to sleep without removing
same. 1t Is Just as ridiculous to ex-
nect a horse to be in perfect health If
worked under the same conditions.
IF you would get the best returns
from your investment In your horse,
treat him right, and be sure to clip
him In the early spring.-Horse Re

Do Not Overpet the Young stock.

One Of our contemporaries says
make the calf the family pet" In
the opinion of the writer and Of other
dairymen of long experience this would
be one of the worst mistakes that could
be made The calf that is the pet Of
the family Is more than likely to be
used by the children for many pur-
poses for which 1t was never intended
By all means treat the calves that are
to be raised kindly, handle them con-
siderably and pat them caressingly oft
en-, but let the petting stop here, for If
it Is played with by the children, run
ming and jumping with them, being
harnessed up with strings as children
are quite likely to do, it becomes a
nuisance as it grows it soons gets i'm
pudent, noses around where it has no
business, and, if its horns are allowed
to grow, becomes dangerous later on.
Such calf will invariably try TO
"boss" the herd after 1t gets old and
strong enough, and is nuisance gen.
