IMMIGRATION BILL PASSED OVER
PRESIDENTS VETO

Congress has overridden veto by Presi-
dent Wilson, for the first time, and enacted
into law the immigration Bill with it's long
fought literacy test provision.
The House overturned the Presidents
veto last week by vote of 287 to 106. The
Senate passed the measure on February 5
by vote of 62 to 49, The Senate's action
makes the bill law and ends contest
covering period Of 20 years, during which
three presidents have vetoed similar bills
passed by Congress.
The literacy test excludes from the United
States all aliens over 16 years of age, ply
sically capable of reading, who cannot read
the English language or some other language
or dialect, including Hebrew or Yiddish.
Any admissible alien, however, or any citizen
of the United States may bring in or send
for his father or grandfather over 55 years
of age, his wife, mother, grandmother or un-
married or widowed daughter if otherwise
admissible, regardless of whether such rela-
tives can read.

GIFT OF THORNLESS CACTUS AND
LOGAN BERRIES

Elder and Mrs. Frank Robinson of Zion
Home have just received from Mrs. A. E.
Hockin of Santa Rosa, California, specimen
of the thornless or spineless cactus, devel-
oped by Luther Burbank, the Botanical
Wizard" of California; also a quantity of
Logan berries. From the thorny cactus of
the plains, which is avoided by cattle and
other animals, and regarded as curse to the
land, Burbank, through long and patient ex-
perimentation, developed the thornless cac-
tus, which as a provender possesses great
nutritive value to livestock; cows fed on it,
give the richest of milk. Moreover, it's fruit,
as an article of human food, is highly edible.
Elder Robinson believes that Logan ber-
ries will grow on Zion City soil as we'll as
on the Pacific coast. He hopes to get them
started here, and expects to test them out
this season, on a small plot of ground. Their
juice is very valuable for commercial pur-
poses. They have fine flavor, grow to
enormous size, and are very prolific.

DAYLIGHT-SAVING BILL BEFORE
CONGRESS

The Borland bill, now before Congress,
providing for setting the clocks Of the United
States ahead one hour from May 1 to Sep
tember 80, is being energetically pushed by
members Of the Daylight-Sav Association.
The plan is simply that, during the five
months from May to September 80, when
daylight comes earlier than in winter, the
clocks of the country be set ahead one hour.
The people would, therefore, arise and be-
gin work earlier and quit work while it was
broad daylight. 1t is claimed that this would
obviate the necessity for so much artificial
light and would allow an extra hour for
recreation and home duties. It is urged, in
favor of the bill, that daylight can be saved
only if the entire country works on uni
form scheme and that this can be accomp-
lished only by an act Of Congress.
The plan is said to be favored by Presi-
dent Wilson,

the boycott is having no effect and that if

would still be an insufficient supply to meet
it.

days under armed guard. 27 carloads sent
recently from Greeley, Colorado, to Chicago
and Peoria, Illinois, were valued at $40, 400

time to come, and open the way for the
establishment of new industries.
