Scores of Voliva Followers
Obey Recent Order to
Return to City.
THOUSANDS OF LOTS OFFERED

In pursuance to the order issued by
General Overseer Voliva of Zion City
that all followers of his faith should
sell whatever property they owned in
any city in the world and prepare to
move into Zion, every day sees some
new family moving into Zion City,
preparatory to making their home
there.
1t was about three months ago that
that all members Of the Christian
Catholic church in Zion should sell all
they possessed, and make ready to
move into Zion City. Last Sunday, at
the last report from the Zion Realty
department. Of the city affairs, there
had come to Zion City 80 families,
from 20 states in the Union and two
from Austria.
To accommodate those who are to
come to Zion City General Overseer
Voliva has announced the opening of
10000 parcels Of city land, within the
limits Of Zion City, the land to be
sold to the purchasers under the old
IA ITO year lease plan, which was start
ed by DR.. John Alexander Dowie at
the time Zion City was founded.
This land will be utilized as inten-
~
sive farm lands, the plan started by
General Overseer Voliva last spring,
whereby every available foot Of land
is turned into a garden spot, and every
variety of fruit and vegetable known
to this section of the country and
many kinds which are strangers here,
having been imported from Australia
will be cultivated.
Most Of the families which are now
coming into Zion City are able to take
up the land, having sold their posses
sions in other cities, and now stand
ready to pour the contents of thei1
Golfers into the Zion City industries
and into land of the city, which prom.

PLANNING GREAT MEET.
Kenosha High School Athletes Asked to
Take Part in Big Athletic Meet.

Local high school athletes have al
ready commenced getting in trim for
the annual state interscholastic meet
which is to be held on May Is at
Camp Randall in Madison.
This year Kenosha plans to send
down strong team, and has hopes of
landing some of the prizes Prof. VIII
hams of the high school has urged upon
the students the value of athletics, with
the result that greater number have
gone in for the sport this season, max
ing it possible to pick the team from
a larger field.
The fact that Arlie Mucks, the star
Oshkosh high school athlete will be
ineligible to compete in the meet this
year has caused Kenosha athletes to
pluck up courage considerably. In
former years Mucks captured practical
ly every event in which he entered
In consequence the other contestants
went into the same events with Mucks
with sort of half hearted interest.
According to reports from Madison
the meet this year is to be conducted
along better lines than in former sea
sons. Many high schools have made
protests III the past regarding the lax
management Of the state event

AVERAGE ACRE VALUE is S1O7


Kenosha county lands rank third
highest in value in this section of
the state, being exceeded in value
only by Walworth and Racine counties
and it is claimed that in both Of these
counties considerations other than the
actual value of the lands are taken
into consideration in making up the
sale values. This is according to a
table compiled by +. A. Polleys, tax
commissioner for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul Railway Company
Mr.. Polleys' figures show the aver
age value per acre of land in all the
counties of the state in 1902, 1907
and 1912. His values for 1902 and
1907 were computed from land sales
