the strenuous times Of the past two years.
We could mention many concrete in
stances. Almost every manager can tell
you Of times when, from human stand
point, it seemed impossible to get material
through and just on the last day, when
there seemed no alternative but to close
down, supply was provided from an I'M
expected source. During this period some
Of the largest factories in the country have
lack of material, but Zion Institutions and
Industries have been enabled to keep 60
ing.
Many people in renewing for Leaves of
Healing are under the impression that, as
the paper is Two Dollars year, six
months subscription is but One Dollar.
This is mistake, however, as can be seen
by glance at the subscription rates print
ed each week. While the paper is Two
Dollars year, six months subscription
costs One Dollar and Twenty-fv Cents
AS is always customary on any periodical,
short term subscription costs more pro-
portionately than yearly subscription, as
the same amount of clerical work is re-
quired for one as the other. While The
Theocrat is but One Dollar a year, a six
months subscription costs Sixty Cents.
The U. S. S. Dieky, S. P. 231, navy
patrol boat on it's way to Waukegan from
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, ran aground
off Zion City about o'clock Thursday
night, week ago, and the crew Of seven
went ashore in lifeboat, which, on one
trip, upset in the heavy sea and three men
were compelled to wade or swim ashore.
The crew, after landing walked over the
marshes to Zion Bakery, where they were
sheltered, given dry clothing, and fur
nished with hot cocoa and eatables. Later,
Camp Logan sent two automobiles for the
men.

Did anyone ever see such a remarkable
Fall as this has been-middle of November
no snow, and bright, warm, sunshiny
weather One editorial writer remarks:
1T looks as if Providence has interviewed
to tide over the coal situation and make
the burden lighter The Winter, no mat
ter how severe it may be in its latter por-
ton, cannot eradicate the fine and mild
weather we have had so far this Fall.
The signing Of armistice terms and the
ending of hostilities was celebrated in Zion
City by all Offices, institutions and indus
tries closing for a half-holiday. In the
afternoon the Zion Senior Band paraded
over the city and played IN front OF the
