Bad Auto Accident.

Last Thursday night as Rex Bren-
izer, TheO Smith, Paul Teale and
Earl Rauch were returning from Da-
Wis City, they met with an accident
on the Buck bridge east of Lamont
that might have been pretty serious
AS reported to us they were coming
down the Buck hill when the lights
on the car went out and they did not
have time to stop before reaching
the bridge SO took a chance on max
ing it. AS this is only twelve foot
bridge the dope went wrong, they
ran into the banister on the south
side of the bridge and sheared it of
clean. From the looks of the bridge
next morning more than half of the
car was hanging over the creek as
they went across, as they struck the
west bank the car turned south run
ming into the bank here and totally
Wr:ecking it. Two pieces of 2x4 We're
piece went through the dash, out
side of the two hind wheels there
was not much left of the car to be
repaired. 1t is wonder to us that
the boys We're not all killed, as it
was, the worst damage to the boys
was some skin lost and some bad
bruises.
This is the second bad accident on
this bridge during the past year. The
bridge is scant twelve feet wide
and of the old plank variety. This
road is the main road between La
moni and Davis City and is a part of
the Jefferson Highway and Waubon-
sic Trail and there should be a good
concrete bridge here at least thirty
feet wide.-LamOni Chronicle.

Lamont Votes Not to Buy Coliseum
for Community Building.

The result of the special election
held on Tuesday to determine wneth-
er the city of Lamont should buy the
Coliseum for use as community
building resulted in an overwhelm-
ingly big vote against the PROPOSE
ton.
There were 43s votes cast, of
these four were thrown out. There
were 37S votes against the PROPOSE
ton and only 81 for. The mems
vote was 247 against and AZ for The
women voted 131 against and Is for.
Early in the day the prediction
was made that the measure would be
defeated, but there was no one who
thought such large vote against
the proposition would be polled.
AS far as the town is concerned
this settles the question of the Coli
scum being owned by the city and
used as community building. Yes
terday there was all kinds Of opin-
ions advanced as to what would be-
come Of the building. The board of
directors will undoubtedly bid the
building in when sold on the 21st OF
this month to protect their interests,
and as these men are all business
men it would not surprise us to see
the building disposed of or convert
ed into proposition that they could
at least get interest on the money
they have invested.
We believe that action of some
kind should be taken to retain this
building for Lamont and Lamont In
terests as it now stands Lamont

of Rome, when more than million
were slaughtered, and the others ban
ished and scattered all over the earth.
During the past 1900 years, except
for short periods, when Christians III
the time Of the Crusaders, or Christian
emperors, had possession, the city has
been under Mohammedan rule, and con-
tinuously for 400 years until now under
Turkish dominion.
While the city itself with it's 10000
inhabitants, most of them living in
poverty and filth, may not be of any
great military or strategic value, yet
from moral point of view on account
of it's sacred religious associations, the
capture of Jerusalem will be Of tremell-
dOus Importance to the allies. As one
of the results may be the fullfllment Of
the prophecy in regard to the repa-
triotism Of the Jews, who now perhaps
will be allowed to return to Palestine
to re-establish their Zion. There is a
God who controls the destinies Of ma
tions and he directs events to further
his own purposes even though these
may not be contemplated by or run
counter to the plans of statesmen and
kings.

The Fall of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, the most renowned city Of
Bible lands, around which has centered
10 many great events in the history Of
Gods chosen people, the Jews, and Of.
the Christian religion, has been cap
tured by the English under General Al
lenby. The city is an old one, its ex-
istence dating back 1000 years or more
before Christ. Here David, Solomon
and other great kings Of Israel, have
reigned, and here was the great temple,
around which was conferred the worship
of God by the Jewish nation. Many
stirring scenes In the life Of Christ were
here enacted. In the course Of the CEN
turies, the city has been the bone OF
contention IN numerous wars engaged

been lack Of fertilization Of the soil
for the past three seasons Vital ele-
ments Of plant food have either been
cut off, or have been so high priced that
the ordinary farmer could not get them.
Germany has had practical monopoly
of potash, but even in Germany soil
fertility has declined.
Soil production cannot be kept up by
the forced labors of prisoners or by the
work of women, old men, and children.
Europe will feel this reduced produc-
ton for five years after the war, say
good authorities. Our own soil also
shows lack Of proper fertilization. This
is partly due to negligence, partly to
the cutting off of our supplies of po-
tash.
The great numbers Of men killed and
crippled will make agricultural labor
scarce for years. Europe will keep
