CHANGE YOUR INVESTMENTS TO
ZION CITY

1t is gratifying to note the very great
interest that is being taken in the building
of Zion City, both in this country and in
other parts Of the world.
There is still plenty to do.
When we think of the hundreds Of mill
ions invested in various enterprises for
the employment of people for the extern
sion Of private fortunes, it seems that
there should be much more Forthcoming
to be used for the extension Of the King
dom Of God and the employment Of Chris
tan people, and the building of Zion
City.
People who are informed as to the prin-
ciples, practices, and purposes of the Chris
tan Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion,
should not hesitate to have very active
and definite part in this work.
It is difficult to make investments that
are not used for purposes to which Chris
tian could not subscribe. In Zion it is our
purpose to use them for the extension Of
the Kingdom Of God.
Through Zion teaching, multitudes have
been saved, healed and cleansed during
the past; but there are yet greater num-
bers that have never heard Of the teach
ing, and to whom we are responsible.
1t is not only our duty, but it is our
privilege to use our means and talents for
the purposes of bringing to this people the
glad news of the full gospel of the King
dom of God.

HEAVY BACK TAXES PAID ON
SEARS ESTATE

Immediately following the action of
County Judge Persons, this past week, in
closing the estate Of the late Richard W.
Sears, Charles S. Cutting, counsel for Mrs.
Sears, turned over check for $91, 165 so
to County Clerk Hendee, in payment Of
back taxes for the years 1913 and 1914
The regular town tax of Warren has
been only about $400 a year, and it ap-
pears probable that this entire sum will
be turned over to Warren township; if so,
it will not be necessary for Warren to
raise any more town taxes.
The school district will possibly also
place it's portion Of the funds out at in
terest, which would maintain the schools
for many years to come.

CHARGES OF FRAUD BROUGHT
AGAINST LAND COMPANY

The Railroaders' Unimproved Land AS
ISOLATION and the Reynolds County Fruit
Lands Company has been found by postal
authorities, to be an unlawful lottery
scheme.
The company claimed to own 10000
acres Of land in the heart Of the Ozark
Mountains of Missouri. The scheme was
widely advertised, the plan being to divide
this tract into 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 acre
farms. Each investor was required to de-
post $l5 in order to register, and in
return was to receive receipt for 100
shares Of stock at fifteen cents a share.
There had to be 100000 registrations be-
fore the allotment of land would be made.
Dates which were set for drawing were
postponed from time to time.
Several hundred thousand dollars have
been gathered in by the officials according
to postal authorities, and yet the company
asked for receiver, notifying it's victims
that the purchasers had failed to make
payments pursuant to contract.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE MEASURE
DOOMED

1t is said that petition four miles in
length and bearing the signatures Of
100000 women, urging the passage Of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment to the ma
tional constitution, will be presented to
congress on the opening day Of the coming
session.
A correspondent of the Chicago Herald
states that "any effort to induce the next
congress to adopt the proposed equal suf-
frage bill will be loves labor lost -
According to poll taken by this paper,
the amendment will fail Of passage prob
ably by more decisive vote than it re-
ceived in the last congress. 1t is believed
that the attitude of the President is partly
responsible for this situation.

GRAMMAR A HINDRANCE TO
CORRECT SPEECH

Edwin Farley of Jamaica high school,
New York City, has created a sensation by
stating that the study of grammar in our
schools is almost valueless, so far as prac
teal results are concerned, in teaching
correct speech. He claims that the charge
that school graduates cannot compose a
decent sentence or even write an ordinary
letter, is in a large measure true.
The school time now consumed in the
study of formal grammar can be better
spent, - he said, eff we should use it for
drill in the accepted forms of correct
speech, for reading aloud and for oral
composition, both we and our pupils would
be better off, The passing of the reading
book is to be deplored, for it was a fine
drill ground for some Of the better things
in speech and expression. -

relation to the administration of affairs in

nounce that the motto Of the American
