his language was so vile and obscene IN many
instances. that it cannot be here stated, and thus
causing innocent girls and emotional women to
faint, under his harangue Of obscenity.
That the said defendant vulgarized the SAID
idea of said books, which were written Tor an
honorable end and pure purpose, before great
audiences composed of women only, IN the great
centers and cities of this country, IN language
and terms too vulgar and obscene to be here
stated on the account Of their 0bscenlty ana
vileness And in these vile and immoral terms
he threw into the consciousness and minds OF
pure married women and innocent girls immoral
and vile thoughts that were calculated to cor
rllpt their morals and destroy their character,
under the guise Of religion and Christianity and
by this conduct of the defendant, he has de-
graded and vulgarized the said idea OF SAID
books. which were written for an honorable pur-
pose and to elevate the morals OF the race, and
upon which the plaintiff has spent the best years
Of his life.
That defendant would have much OF the
vice and obscenity Of these harangues OF his as
were permissible to be put in print, oftentlmes
paying for said printing for monetary gain and
advertising, published in the daily papers,
where he was preaching in order to appeal to
the vice and depravity of human nature, and
thereby excite the morbidness OF credulous
public, for the purpose of drawing people IN
large numbers through curiosity to hear him,
including young people, children and curious
and emotional women
That in order to keep his personality before
the public to the end that he might so as afore-
said make profit in wrongful use of the said

ZION INSTITUTIONS AND INDUSTRIES

During the past six months the Zion Insti-
buttons and Industries have made marked prog
ress and the results have been very satisfactory.
Some of them have been considerably enlarged
and improved by the addition of new and i'm
proved machinery, increased room, and other
general improvements. All have had an IN
creased business.
1t is not purpose at this time to give
particular information regarding these lnstltu-
tions, but rather to call your particular atten-
ton to them as to the purpose OF them
In building Zion City, it is essential to estab-
lsh and maintain Institutions and Industries In
order to-frst employ the people who come here
that need employment, and second, to provide
place for the investment Of the funds of Zion
people.
In Zion Institutions and Industries there
employed Christian men and women, youths and
maidens who have accepted the full gospel for
spirit, soul and body, as taught in Zion. The
money they earn is consecrated to God and IS
not used for evil purposes They render con-
scientious service and all are interested IN all
Zion s affairs.
To be worker in Zion Institutions and In
dustries, is to be interested in the preaching Of
the gospel by building Zion City and spreading
Zion literature throughout the world.
AS Indicated these Institutions offer ex-
ce1ent opportunity for the investment of funds
so that they will give reasonable return $50
per annum) and be used in a clean business and
the profits go to the extending Of lions work.
Investments may be made at any time for any
amount. They should run at least one year and
period of five years is preferable and much
to the advantage Of the Institutions.
The present investment in the Zion Institu-
tons and Industries is nearly $400, 100000 and
they employ about 500 people Several of the
count of increasing business and if you want
your money to work for God and assist in build
ing Zion City, you have the opportunity.
Faithfully yours,
W HURD CLENDNEN,
General Manager.

thoughts and treaties contained IN said books
as his own as aforesaid the defendant employs
a reporter to sit by him at his home or stopping
place during his activities, note and publish
what and how he eats and dresses, the color and
quality of his neckties, shirts and clothes, his
sweating during his harangues, how he is rub
bed down and shOwered with water after his
aforesaid acrobatic performances on the ros-
trum as aforesaid and all the curious things he
does and says while off the rostrum, so that
the public will thereby become interested IN his
personality and curious concerning the same
and thereby be led in great numbers to go and,
hear said harangues and thereby be led to con-
tribute large sums Of money in the aggregate
TO said defendant in his said wrongful use Of
this plaintiff s said books, and by this means, he
has attracted great attention IN the great cen
ters of the country since the year 1917 when
the plaintiff wrote his first book on the Bible,
''The Truth About The Bible,' and by these
methods, defendant has degraded the said idea
of said books and commercialzed it, so as to
make it compensate the defendant to the amount
of One Hundred to Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars per year, all Of which facts have dam
aged the plaintiff to the amount herembefore
named in the original complaint herein.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff prays judgment
against the defendant as he has already prayed
in said original complaint herein for the sum
of One Hundred Thousand Dollars, besides the
costs of this action.

IMP RTANT NOT IT G E

In accordance with the Daylight Saving Law,
recently enacted by Congress and signed by
President Wilson, all clocks and watches IN the
United States will be set forward one hour at
a. M, on next Sunday, March 81. The new
time will prevail until Sunday, October II, when
chronometers will be set back one hour, thus
restoring the time which now prevails.
The object of the new law is to save and
utilize during the spring and summer months,
one hour Of daylight early in the morning OF
each day, which under the present system goes
to waste in towns and cities Every office, store,
place Of business, factory and workshop will
open just one hour earlier in the morning and
close one hour earlier in the afternoon. People
will rise Just on hour earlier and go to bed that
much sooner. This will result, it is estimated
in a great saving Of electric light and give
people an extra hour of daylight in the even
ing after business for recreation and home
duties
All schedules will remain the same as at
present: for instance, a factory which begins
work now at 7 a. M, will still begin work at
that time under the new plan; but O'Clock
will come at what is o'clock.
All trains will just one hour earlier al
though the timetables will remain the same as
at present. it therefore behooves everyone to
advance their clocks.
In Zion City, every institution and industry
will conform to this plan all coworkers
must bear this in mind and be at their places
Of duty one hour earlier than usual on Monday
morning. The rising bell on Zion Home will
ring at what is now 5 clock. The Zion De
partment Stores will be open for business one
hour earlier than heretofore and close that much
sooner in the evening.

is now protesting to be very much in
favor of league Of nations. Amer
leans can believe thies a. his efforts
to form league between Mexico and
Japan to fight the United States are
evidence that he favors national
leagues if they are the right kind.
But when he attempts to deny that he
had any part in the conspiracies
Matched in this country he has q job
on his hands to provs his innocence.
His close association with Captain Won
Papen and Captain Bowed, two arch
conspirators, are too we'll known, and
the fact that money collected from
German sympathizers in this country
to be used to propagate pro- German
sentiment was receipted for by him
while acting as ambassador. make the
evidence of his guilt too strong to be
brushed aside with mere denial.

passed urging that the. government

might have some standing "in court.
But we notice that the patrons of the

Gov. Norbeck has issued an order
abolishing the state and county coun-
ellis of defense, and terminating all
orders that have been made by such
couucila. He calls attention to the
fact that the council was created by
the special session of sthe legislature
to meet certain contingencies arising
from the war, and as the war has ter
minated. the work Of the council is
no longer needed. The council was
really exercising legislative functions,
and while this was necessary during
the war, all f..these duties can now
be handled in the regular way through
the legislature. The legislature
meets in few days. and it is prob
able that some Of the orders of the
council, perhaps in a modified form.
will be regularly enacted by the leg
islature.
