The State Department also received another

Americans at Moscow were leaving for Samara,

line, the message adding that the impression was
prevalent in Moscow that the Germans were

In view Of Germany's conduct in Russia, how

Won HERTLING DECLARES ACCEPTANCE
OF CARDINAL PRINCIPLES OF PEACE,
ENUNCIATED BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Speaking before the reichstag, on February
25, the imperial German chancellor, Count Won
Hertling, made this declaration:
II can fundamentally agree with the four
principles which in President Wilson's view
must be applied in mutual exchange Of views,
and thus declare with President Wilson that
general peace can be discussed on such basis
''Only one reserve need be made in this con-
nection These principles must not only be pro-
posed by the President Of the United States, but
also must actually be recognized by all states
and peoples.
But this goal has not yet been reached
There is still no court Of arbitration established
by all the nations for the preservation Of peace
in the name Of justice.
"When President Wilson incidentally says
that the German chancellor is speaking to the
tribunal of the entire world, must decline

Mr. James J. Craig, Tax Collector for Benton
Township, reminds us that tax paying time is
rapidly slipping by and many have neglected their
personal taxes The time for paying these taxes
has been extended to March s. If they are not
paid, the collector has authority to levy on any
thing you have and sell it for taxes.

The Zion Electrical Department has fitted up
display room on the second floor of Zion De-
partment Store, where many kinds of electric
parlor lamps, dining room lamps, hanging lamps,
table lamps, inverted lamps, and practically all
other kinds needed for the home. Aside from
their usefulness there are some very beautiful
Designs calculated to make the home coy and
attractive. While in it's infancy, the Electrical
Department has had remarkable run of bust
ness, even in the dead of winter, large quaint
ties of electrical portables and fixtures having
been placed in homes and business Offices not
only in Zion City, but all along the North Shore,
from Wnnetka to Kenosha.
Our attention has been drawn to the fact that
there outside agents for shrubbery, fruit
trees etc., canvassing Zion City. Let our peo-
pie remember that the General Overseer and
Mayor Clendinen have repeatedly issued warn
lngs against patronizing these outside agents.
Buy only from canvassers who are able to show
a written permit from Mayor Clendnen Why
should we pay out money to these people who
come in here, and some of whom are scalawags,
when we have plenty of Zion members selling
the choicest nursery goods Deacon N. A. Robin
son, Deacon A. 2. Sacf, and Deacon E. Schlappi
all have had notices in The Theocyat from time to
time, and all represent high-class and thoroughly
reliable companies. Get in touch with these men,

CANE HARVESTING MOVING
RAPIDLY.

Notwithstanding the present in.
clement weather the farmers have
had ideal conditions to insure a
safe harvest. and with but few ex-
ceptiOns the sugar mills have been
running uninterlptedly since the
grinding operations began. SUI
gar yields per ton have been very
satisfactory, and there is but lit
tie to complain of, and consider
ing the fac that some forty per
cent. of the small farmers have
already finished with their crop
at remunerative prices, without a
single freeze, we have much to he
thankful for. In some few in
stances the shortage Of labor will
result in a prolongation of the
grinding until probably the later
part Of January. The factories
making only syrup are reported

PUT UP A TOOL SHED THIS
WINTER.\

Numerous Investigations of tn
farm machinery question hav.
thoroughly established the fac
that the lift of farm machiner,
depends mainly upon the owner
The same machine lasts twice
three or four times as long with
one man as it does with another
This difference in the life of a
machine is largely due to shelter
and lack Of shelter. The deter.
loration in plows, cultivators,
seeders, fertilizer distributors,
threshers, wagons and other ma.
chlnery through lack of shelter is
appalling.
There should be machine shed
on every farm to protect farm
tools, implements and machinery
from the sunshine and rain. The
building need not be expensive.
There must, of course, be ample
protection against sun, rain and
wind and proper drainage to in
sure dry storage. The location
must be, convenient so as to be
easily reached with all kinds of
farm machinery. 1t ought to be
SO constructed that it is as easy
to put the implements and machin-
cry under shelter as it is to leave
them out, and it ought also to be
SO arranged that the implements
and machines can be gotten out
for use without any great incon-
venience.
A very convenient and mex.
pensive shed consists of a build
ing Of medium width, say IS or
20 feet. the length being governed
by the number Of implements to
be housed. A building 18x25 feet
usually furnishes ample room for
the implements used on the ave-
rage 16O-acre Cotton Belt farm.
The shed need not be built very
high unless one desires storage on
the second floor. Seven feet to
the caves is nough. The floor
should be made of cinders, gravel
or cement from six inches to a
foot above the outside surface
level Of the ground to insure
drainage and avoid dampness.-|

but few exceptions they are realiz-

From what we could ascertain
the New Iberia and Northern
Railroad alone have hauled to the
mills already this season as much
as 2.l33 ears Of cane and they ex-
pect to handle as much as $500
this year as against 290O during

much as six or eight thousand
