Ice Wagon Team browns.

The fine bay team which has been
driven on one OF Coddington &
Laird's ice wagons the past sum-
mer took it into their heads they
were too speedy and stylish to be
hauling ice. When this idea popped
into their heads they were tied near
the ice house. They broke loose,
made a wild dash toward the river,
and dazed with their aristocratic
ideas, plunged into the dangerous
waters of the Cedar and were drown
ed. The team was really good one
and the loss to their owners is con-
siderably over S400, as they had
been offered that amount for them
several times And still some peo-
pie tell us the ice business is all
profit. Independent

Ninety Stands of Bees.

Lake City, Ia, Oct. 19.-Irving
Wernick, who lives on farm south
of Lake City, has ninety stands of
bees in his apiary. Mr.. Wernick
has just received an importation of
queens and is transferring them TO
the hives this week.
Because of dry weather his bees
did not do so well as last year in
the amount of honey produced. This
years product aggregates 1900
pounds as against 5000 last year
In order to bring the amount
produced up to the maximum, Mr..
Wernick has supplied the hives
with apparatus for straining the
honey when he desires leaving the
comb for future use so that the bees
waste no time during their busy sea-
son. His honey crop this year will
net him about 100000.

Iowa G. A. II. Gives $345.3S.

The committee in charge of ar
rangements for the Fortieth Annual
Encampment of the Iowa G. A. r.
which was held in Burlington, June
1918, upon settling up its affairs,
found a balance in hand of S345.3S.
Believing it would please the Grand
Army men of Iowa, who know
through bitter experience the suf-
fering and hardship which war en-
tails, the committee has sent this
balance to Miss Mable Boardman,
President of the Red Cross for the
United States, for use in relieving
the suffering now devastating Eur
ope
Thus ends an enterprise which
was of great instruction to the citi-
zens of Burlington, and of pleasure
to all the friends from the outside
who attended the reunion.

PASSED away. For the last three
years she had been suffering with
diabetes, but during the last sum-

he'd so much in store for one so
young, but she was satisfied to leave
this life for the eternal home above.
Besides her father and mother
she leaves to mourn her departure
five sisters-Mrs John Sersland,
Agnes, Selma, Mildred and Grace,
and one brother-Rudolph also
other relatives and many friends.
Funeral services were held last
Saturday at the Washington Prairie

Sees Fourteen Foot Snake.

Manning, Ia, Oct. 19.-For some
time there have been rumors of peo-
pie seeing a big snake in the Joe
Wilson pasture, west of Manning.
Ward Billick, mail carrier, saw the
snake and never stopped running
his team until he had safe distance
between himself and the snake. He
claims the snake about IA feet long
and as large around as a mans leg.
When the snake raised its head its
large CLASSY eyes sent shudder
through the mail carrier and he new
er stopped to get better view at
a safe distance. Those who saw the
snake, think it one that escaped
from some show held here the last
year.

The establishing of ZION CITY will be, without
doubt, one of the most interesting projects ever
known to the worlds history We can scarcely
realize what it will be to have City which shall
be organized, built up, managed and controlled
by loyal Christian men and women who are true
to God, our Heavenly Father. A City which shall
be free from the sin, crime, filth and contamin-
ating influence of the average worldly city of to-
day is almost beyond human conception"
And then, nearly year later, early on the
morning of January l, 1900, when the Site of the
City was made public he spoke thus:
Il have a great deal to say, but am not going
to say it now. My heart is full. I rejoice in be-
ing here before you. I feel just like jumping up
and down. I feel like Gagged bird which is set
free. We have all had to be so c1ose-mouthed
we could not say anything We had to dodge
out of sight through the basement for fear we
would meet somebody-"Say is that all so in the
paper today? Is ZION CITY up there?" We had
to dodge you people. I am very glad now we
will not have to do it. We will welcome you,
and we will be very glad to give you all the in
formation we can. You know ZION is open and

Zion Canning Factory

The time is right here when we must give our
attention to the Tomato crop for 1914. Our
factory is well equipped for handling large
crop, and we trust that the comparatively low
price of tomatoes last year will not discourage
any one from planting larger crop this year.
We have not yet sold Our product, hoping to
obtain better prices
Our experience during the last three years no
doubt has been profitable in teaching us some
things regarding the profitable raising of to-
nlatoes in this locality, if we have given proper
thought and study to the matter of the best
variety of tomatoes to plant, the best methods of
starting them in hot BEDS the value of trans
planting, the time for putting in the field, fer
tillzer, and proper cultivation, all important items
to be considered to get the best results.
| hope that those who have been planting to-
matoes will continue and that others will be en-
couraged in the enterprise, as we cannot deter
mine the value of any industry or crop in two
or three seasons 1t is by learning how to do
thing that enables us to do it better and more
proftably
Please let the Assistant General Manager, Dea-
con l. j. Ihurston, know at once your intentions
IN this matter, as to the crop you want to plant
also what your requirements will be in regard to
plants IN case you do not expect to raise them
yourself. Do not delay, but give us this infor-
nation at the earliest possible date.
l am expecting some literature on the cultiva-
ton of Tomatoes and will be glad to furnish you
pamphlet if you will call at the Realty Depart
ment after about week from today.

but I rejoice that this is the second anniversary
of my true conversion to God in ZION. Little did

ing a Secret Society devil and everything else
but Christian, that would be here on this
platform tonight with him and these brethren
working in the interest of ZION, and planning for
the establishing of City founded for the special
purpose of building up Christ's Kingdom upon
this earth. But ZIoN's ways are not mans ways;
Z1oN's ways are Gods ways. How thankful we
should be that God has opened up this way for
us to set example to the world, giving us the
opportunity to take the initiative in such noble
and glorious enterprise.
