The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-04-27

Thirty six states are needed for ratification.
Eleven states already have ratified At the
outset there were twenty-seven entirely dry
states meaning that the drys had to gain only
nine wet states to put the amendment across.
Of the eleven states which have so far acted
favorably, five Kentucky, Maryland, Texas,
Delaware and Massachusetts, wet states,
excepting Texas, which became dry a month
ago.
This means that the drys have to gain only
four wet states and hold the bone dry states.
Minnesota, Nevada, Wyoming and Florida vote
on statewide prohibition this year, and the pros
poets are that each will vote dry. In this
event, there is little doubt they would ratify
the national amendment next winter in their
respective legislatures.
The legislature Of every state from which a
ratfying vote is expected, meets either this year
or in January next. The big drive starts after
New Years, 1919, and by March the necessary
thirty-six states are expected to have been lined
up.

BILL SEEKING COURT MARTIAL OF SPIES
KILLED BY PRESIDENT

The Chamberlain bill, to subject spies and
enemy alien propagandists to trial by court
martial instead Of civil courts, was killed by
President Wilson on April %. While the meas
ure did not come to vote, and was not vetoed
by the President, his denunciation OF it was
contained in letter to Senator Overman, acting
chairman Of the judiciary committee In this
letter, the President said:
"Thank you for your letter Of yesterday.
am heartily obliged to you for consulting me
about the court martial bill, as perhaps | may
call it for short. I am wholly and unalterably
opposed to such legislation, and very much
value the opportunity you give me to say so.
think it is not only unconstitutional but that
in character it would put us upon the level OF
the very people we are fighting and affecting to
despise.
cit would be altogether inconsistent with the
spirit and practice Of America, and in view of
the recent legislation, the espionage BILL the
sabotage bill, and the woman spy bill, think
it is unnecessary and uncalled for.
ct take the liberty, my dear senator, of ex-
pressing myself in this emphatic way because
my feeling is very deep about the matter as
gather your own isl
When Senator Chamberlain, author Of the bill,
was informed Of the Presidents strong opposi-
ton, he said there would be no disposition to
press the bill further in the face Of such dis
approval.

BILL INTRODUCED TO FIX PRICE OF
COTTON AT 20 CENTS

Congressman Emerson, Of Ohio, introduced a
bill at Washington on April IS, to fix the price
Of raw cotton at 20 cents for the period of the
war. Upon receipt of this news the cotton
market in New York registered a drop Of over
100 points in a few minutes.
AS for the men who really handle the cotton,
as distinguished from the spectators, they seem
to regard the proposed fixed price of 20 cents
for raw cotton as absurd. One large dealer is
quoted as saying:
"As it is, with the present scarcity of labor
and fertilizers, we going to see, unless some
thing is done to save the situation, the biggest
abandoned acreage in cotton this year the South
ever saw. To tell the farmers now that they
cannot hope to get more than 20 cents pound
next fall would mean that year from now
you d be paying $3.50 for pound of cotton to
put in museum show case"
Another large dealer has presented figures to
show that fixed price for cotton to compare
with present wheat prices on the per acre basis
must be at least IS cents pound

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

All of southern California and portion Of
western Arizona and Utah were shaken by a
series OF earthquake shocks on April 81, which
wrought much havoc in Hemet and San Jacinto,
two inland towns about seventy miles east Of
Los Angeles. large portion Of the business
district in both places was wrecked. In Los
Angeles and vicinity, the damage was apparent
mainly in broken windows, hundreds of large
plate glass fronts being shattered
The earthquake was one of the most severe
ever experienced in southern California. For
thirty seconds, the ground heaved so that per-
sons standing in the streets and fleeing from
their homes were even thrown from their feet
The hills surrounding the towns which suffered
the greatest damage were obscured afterward

HOUSE REJECTS WHEAT PRICE OF
$3.50 A BUSHEL
&C. B. W.

The senate amendment to the agricultural bill
increasing the price Of wheat from 1920 to
$3.50 bushel at local elevators, was rejected
by the national house of representatives on
April Is, by vote Of SO to 166. Immediately
after the vote, Representative Lever, chairman
of the agricultural committee, asked for further
conference on the bill, and the senate will prob
ably be requested to recede from it's action in
adopting the Gore amendment.
The amendment has met with direct opposi-
ton from President Wilson and the food admin
1stration. 1t will be remembered that the price
of 1920 a bushel on wheat was fixed by the
President for the 1918 crop in the proclamation
issued last February. Since then, congressman
from the wheat growing states have been seek
ing for an increase

SORGHUM CANE AND SIRUP MAY HELP
SUGAR SHORTAGE

Mr.. A. T. Erwin, Of the agricultural expert
ment station at Ames, Iowa, is quoted as saying
Iowa can do great deal toward meeting
the serious sugar shortage by growing sorghum
cane. Even the town or city dweller who has
an acre of ground, or even less, available for this
crop may well consider growing it, provided
he knows that there is conveniently near a
sorghum mill for making the sorghum sirup
Sorghum cane yields as much as 100 to $50 gal
Ions OF sirup per acre, which at present prices
is profitable. Sorghum strip contains much
more sugar than corn sirup."
The following information is given out for
sorghum growers by the agricultural expert
ment station:
A clay loan or sandy loan produces excellent
quality strip of lighter color; heavy bottom
lands produce heavy yields, but the strip is
not of the best quality. Sorghum is essentially
hot weather crop and should not be planted
until the latter half of May, when the soil is
thoroughly warmed About pounds Of seed
per acre is, enough; it should be planted 1 inch
deep, inches apart in a firm, garden-fne seed
bed. The rows are the same distance apart as
with corn. Ii large acreage is planted, spread
the planting over 2 or weeks to allow more
time for harvesting. The best way to fight
weeds is to kill them before planting Get the
ground ready ahead Of time, allow weeds to
start and then harrow just before planting.

1917, in Shiloh Tabernacle, which has been
reprinted several times. The subject of this
address is: ''The Terrible Things That Are
Now Being Recorded in the Newspapers, and
the Literal Fulfllment of Many Bible Pro-
phecies." One hundred copies of this issue
will be mailed postpaid to any address in the
United States upon receipt of So, or to any

Work has been started on moving what is
known as the old Zion Bank Building from it's
present location, corner of Shiloh Boulevard
and Elijah Avenue, to residence lots, it be-
ing planned to reconstruct the building into
two residences. This was the first office
building erected on the Zion City site, in 1900,
when the city was opened up. It was first
used as a realty office; later the Zion Bank
also was moved in. The building was in
tended only as a temporary structure, and
after the erection of the Administration
Building it was used as an express office and
for other purposes.
An artistic display of cement products has
been arranged in front of the Zion Building

by dense haze caused by heavy clouds Of dust
Strawberry Peak, large mountain, is said by
an eyewitness to have appeared to rise bodily
and then drop back into place. One of the
freaks Of the quake was the sudden flow Of
artesian wells which had been dry for years.
San Jacinto River the bed Of which had been
dry before, suddenly showed flow of water.
AS the towns affected were comparatively
small having populations Of less than 1000 each,
the property damage was not particularly great,
and but few lives were lost.
A report from the island of Martinique, dated
April 10, said that earth shocks had been felt
there for days. The great eruption Of Mount
Pelee in May, 1902, in which 10000 persons lost
their lives on this island, and in which the city
Of St. Pierre was destroyed in a few seconds,

OLD TIRES QUITE VALUABLE
Possible to Get Ten Blowout Patches
From Wornout caslno-How
They Are Made.

The average owner has formed the
habit of disposing of old tires for a
few cents and is not aware of the
fact that the casing can be utilized
for making blowout patches for the
inside Of casing. These homemade
patches serve even better than the
cheap ones. sold at supply stores. The
patch is made simply by ripping off
the tread and one or two layers Of
fabric. The thickness of the patch
should be equal to about two or three
layers Of fabric, and of course cut to
the right length. 1t is possible to get
ten blowout patches from a worn-out
casing which probably would bring a
dollar or so from the junkman.
