MERCURY DROPS FAST,

Cold Wave from West Will Last
Through To-Day

The official thermometer registered
S5 degrees at IL o'clock last night, and
the mercury was heading straight for
the freezing point, with every prospect
Of making II. A cold wave from the
West, almost political in It's persist
ency, was the cause. To-day is ex-
pected to be colder than last night.
II started out to be an average kind
of gray November day, but soon after
noon that Western chill began to al
feet fingers, noses and finally the mer-
curry. Although the average tempera-
ture Of "a degrees yesterday was only
/ degree less than the average for the
last thirty-three years, it was because
the morning was warmer than the av-
erage.
Snow fell in Gloversville and Oswego
to a depth Of six or eight inches.

The Belgian government contends
that if the Germans only designed to
combat the idleness of Belgian work
men, it could employ them on public
works in the neighborhood of their
homes and families, adding:
"They have not done this, but, on
the contrary, have sent out Of the
country or purposely deprived Of EN-

ceased to work. The Germans have
offered the attraction of high wages to
those who consent voluntarily TO de-

NEW MACHINERY INSTALLED BY
ZION OFFICE SUPPLY
BUSINESS STEADILY GROWING

BUSINESS STEADILY GROWING
A new ruling machine has just been
installed by the Zion Office Supply. 1t
is of the latest model, having several new
features, one of them being the new
loose leaf guide, which saves the time of
the operator, and insures more accurate
work. Heretofore Zion Office Supply
has been compelled to send all ruling to
Chicago. This meant more time con-
sumed in filling customers orders, as
well as greater expense. The work can
now be done on short notice, and at a
less figure, thus giving greater satisfac-
ton. There is already work in the house
ahead for the new machine. A new, up
to-date cutting machine has also been
installed, within the past three weeks.
Zion Office Supply was established in
1911, by the General Overseer, with an
investment of $4,000. The employees
consisted of the manager, three cowork-
ers, and two travelling statesmen. From
this humble beginning, the institution
has grown, in less than five years, into
concern employing a force of twenty
four coworkers, besides fourteen travel
ing statesmen, covering most of the states
of the Union, west and south of Pennsyl-
vania.
The purpose of Zion Office Supply is
to manufacture and sell supplies and of
flee equipment of all kinds, direct to
business and professional men, through
it's travelling statesmen, as well as by
catalog. The method of selling and de-
livering the merchandise is thorough and
unique. This department solicits the
business of banks, attorneys, county Of
fcials, manufacturing concerns, and all
persons maintaining an Office.
The object of not only this institution,
but of all other Zion Institutions and
Industries, is to place before the public
goods of high quality and standard; by
doing this they have built up a reputa-
ton, throughout the country, insuring
repeat orders end a permanent business.
The line handled is large and varied,
consisting of multitude of articles con-
venient for office use, which is shown in
one Of the most complete catalogs sent
out by the trade. Practically everything
cataloged is carried in stock by the in
stitution, in it's own stock room.
The rubber stamp department has
grown until it is now able to compete
quite successfully with the large stamp
concerns of Chicago. The equipment is
complete, and thousands of stamps, of
all kinds, are made each year, for firms
in all parts of the United States.
Zion Office Supply is one of the busy
corners of Zion City, and we trust that
all Zion people will make it point to
visit this institution, when at Headquar-
tiers.

telling of the excellent condition of
the route between the cities and St..
Cloud at that time, as anyone who is

that it is nearly perfect for the entire
distance, with a few miles of holey
going and very few rough spots. At
St. Cloud we finished our belated din
