Of all Officers, Members, and

Mr.. Arthur Wright and Mr.. Peter Dunnick,
both of the Zion Feed Department., made
tour, on last Thursday afternoon of the eight
largest poultry plants in and around Zion
CITY. They found the birds, of nearly all, in
excellent condition and showing good pro-
fits; the owners were well satisfied notwith-
standing the high price of grains.
DR.. A. Theodore Kline and wife arrived at
Zion Home on Monday from Toledo, Ohio.
DR. Kline will have charge of the Zion Dental
Department located in the Administration
Building. He has spent the week in taking
an inventory of STOCK arranging appoint
ments with the people and making prepara-
tions for work. His office is now open for
business.
Many people are not aware that cement
roofing tile is manufactured by Zion Insti-
tuition in Zion City. Not only cement tile but
brick, blocks, posts and other cement products
are made by Zion Building Industry, in their
plant. It is interesting to note that some
large cities are agitating against both wood
shingles or asphalt composition for roofing
materials because of their combustible pro-
perties. In Boston, Massachusetts,, for in
stance, according to an article just appear
ing in the American LMnabe1maan, both wood
and asphalt shingles have been prohibited. 1t
is claimed that a cement roof is not only
protection against fire, but will last for life
time.
Zion Printing and Publishing House on last
Saturday week, received copy from large
Chicago firm for 10000 forty page catalogs
with three forms on press and about 1900 il
lustrated cuts. The proof for the job was
not O. KID. by the firm until the following
Thursday. 5000 catalogs were desired i'm
mediately. They were delivered by auto on
Saturday morning, just week from the time
the copy was received. All engagements
with other firms were kept on time and no
customer was disappointed. Any one, even
with superficial knowledge of the printing
business, can see how difficult it is to turn
out job Of that kind in so short time.
Mr.. Arthur Mole of the Zion Photographic
Studio now has collection of enlargements
from kodak pictures on display in the Sta
tionery Department of Zion Stores. Mr.. Mole
has just purchased one of the most up-to-date
enlarging cameras on the market He takes
the small "snap-shots" and enlarges, frames
and colors them. The result is surprising.
In his display the kodak picture, in each case,
is shown side by side with it's enlargement.
In practically every instance the enlargement
brings out the detail much stronger and clear
er than the original. Some of the samples
shown are splendid works of art The Lake
Front views are especially fine One of the
most attractive pictures is that of little boy
feeding chickens, which was taken with an
ordinary No. A. Brownie camera.
Older people sometimes learn from chill
dren, especially if they are trained in Zion
Schools. A gentleman, the other day. while
conversing with the Principal of Zion Schools,
in her office at the College Building, noticed
little fellow come in and respectfully hold
his hat in his hand while speaking to her for
moment. AS the boy went out, the gentle
man suddenly realized that he himself was
wearing his hat and removed it much to the
amusement of the principal. He remarked
that ne was setting poor example before the
children. moment later little chap of
kindergarten age, who had been toying with
colored blocks in the room came up at Miss
,Ihompson's suggestion and gravely shook
hands with him, telling him his name and
age. The gentleman, of course made much
over him and remarked about the nice Zion
button he wore. The little fellow regarded Il
proudly and then looking up straight in his
face innocently inquired, "Have you one?'
He had not, and he felt like two cent piece.
