LAKE COUNTY HOLSTEIN BREEDERS
ASSOCIATION
By w E. Watkins, County Agricultural Adviser

By WE Watkins, County Agricultural Adviser.
A meeting was held at Libertyville last Satur-
day, June 9Th, for the purpose of discussing the
desirability of organizing a Lake County Hol-
stein Breeders Association.
There is a big need for an organization of this
kind in Lake County as by this means we can
more easily build up the Holstein business and at
the same time promote other lines OF dairying
as we'll. We can usually get better results
through organized effort than by work as in
dviduas Some of the advantages to be Sc
cured through organization are as follows: Bet
ter local and outside markets can be more easily
secured; both small and large breeders can more
easily secure right publicity and advertising;
it will encourage the raising and selling Of
sound healthy livestock; promote official test
and cow test association work.
Every member of such an organization would
be kept informed through the local secretary
concerning animals wanted or for sale in the
county so that buyer can be directed from one
farm to another until his wants are filled. Such
an organization would create more interest in
better bred Holsteins by holding picnics and by
making exhibits at local fairs Honesty and
integrity among the members of such an organi-
cation are very essential features if success is
to follow as the result of organized effort. All
animals sold should be of high quality
Three things are absolutely essential if desir-
able results are to be secured There should be
a strong organization. We should have the best
of cooperation and also the right sort Of publ
city.
Temporary officers were elected by the breed
ers present: Mr.. Geo. White Antioch, Presi-
dent, and W. E. Watkins, Libertyville, Secre-
tary.
Another meeting will be held next Saturday,
June 18th, at 200 P. NJ at Libertyville, for the
purpose of adopting constitution and bylaws
and to form permanent organization. Every
man in Lake County who is interested in better
bred Holsteins should plan to attend this meet
ing.
Those who have signifed their desire to be-
come charter members of such an organization
are: Geo. R. White, Ralph B. Miller of Antioch;
j. L. Nicholson and Jas. E. Nicholson of Ingle-
side; Albert Stahl, E. J. Giss, H. IT. Schroeder
and Lloyd Ritzenthaler Of Prairie View; Elbert

o D E TO ZION
By Miss DOrcds PetrIe

When David sang the praises of his Lord,
For all His loving kindness unto man,
Visions of Zion passed before his eyes;
He saw it as part of Gods great. plan.
He saw a mount, the joy of all the earth,
Of beauty greater than his tongue could
tell;
A holy hill, where from the earliest days.
God had appointed that His Name should
dwell.
He saw city, rising bright and fair,
With many palace, battlement and tower
Surrounded by the mountains of Gods love,
Beneath the care of His protecting power
He saw people, chosen of the Lord,
AS witnesses forever to abide,
TO give this message to the nations all -
The Lord is God, there is no God beside
He saw a nation, born to rule the earth,
Small in beginning, but now mighty grown !;
He looked into the future, vast and dim,
And saw the King upon His royal throne
We, too, o Zion, see that vision fair,
And growing brighter as the Day draws
near;
We also see that there is much to do,
Before our Lord in glory shall appear
How blessed are the messengers, who go
To those in sorrow, and by sin oppressed !;
To tell them that our Father has prepared
Zion, a refuge where His saints may rest.
Yes, blessed tits to bear that message sweet,
To scatter precious seed along the way;
And blest are we who may remain at home,
For we have work to do as we'll as they.
IT'S ours to keep Thy banner free from stain !;
Raise high Thy standard, so the world may
see;
Strong in Thy strength, to battle for the right,
To make Gods city what it ought to be-

WORDS OF APPRECIATION

At the close of the program, the President,
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, came forward and spoke
a few words of hearty commentator, saying
in part:
eve have now reached the close of the Sec
ond years work of Zion Educational Institu-
lions.
81 do not hesitate to say that what have
seen and heard here tonight is a very rich
reward for all the arduous toll and labor
which has been expended in founding and
establishing lions educational work. My
only regret is that all Zion everywhere -
not only in Zion City, but elsewhere - could
not have been present.
81 am rejoiced by what I have heard. Much
has been expressed which has furnished sub
stantial food for spiritual and mental growth.
"The program has been an excellent one.
I have only words of commentator for those
who have taken part, and I want to ask
whether all the exercises, from start to finish,
have not reflected, in very marked manner,
the teaching which has been instilled into
the minds of these young people in Zion Edu-
cational Institutions. What striking con-
trast it has been to events of this kind on the
outside! Not one has failed, in the slightest
degree, in keeping to the fore the purpose of
Zion Educational Institutions.

BOMBS DROPPED BY CHANCE
TURNED GERMANS INTO TRAP

London, May 16.-Surrender of
Gssman force of 5000 men in East
Africa was due to the chance drop
ping of a number of bombs by a
British airman, according to a re-
port from Capetown, which says:
'An officer of the flying corps
was out on reconnaissance in the
region of the Rovuma river, but
found nothing to bomb. Being
forced to discharge his cargo of
bombs to tighten his machine for
the nomeward trip. he chose a quiet
spot and dropped them all. causing.
of course. considerable noise.
The German general. Tafel, was
at the time marching to join his
chief. Won Lettow. but news of the
explosions was reported to him,
and he, thinking a large force of
the enemy must be somewhere in
the district, diverted his line of
march and before long bumped into
a British force.
Ultimately his whole force,
5000 strong. surrendered"

GROW OWN WHEAT
Farmers Don't Seem to Be Acquaint
ed With Milling Rules.

Millers thruout the state are lend
ing much assistance to the food ad-
ministration officials in careful observ-
ance of the rule which requires that
every farmer who takes wheat to a
mill to ne ground for himself, must
sign a sworn statement that the wheat
was grown by himself.
Some of the farmers apparently
are not acquainted with the ruling"
said Topeka miller, land 1 have
heard instances of farmers refusing
to have the wheat ground when con-
fronted with the rule. The instances
/ believe apply more particularly to
the rural town mills
IA number of German farmers
have brought wheat to our mill in the
last few days, stating that they have
heard the government has requested
that all wheat in the farm bins be
marketed at once. l usually ask them
how much more they have. and with
out exception they assert they are
marketing it all and-at home are eat
ing more corn and oatmeal bread than
wheat bread. I believe the farmers
of this country are conforming strict
ly to the wheat and flour regulations.
Most of them read daily newspapers,
and. aside from the patriotism in
volved, do not want to get in bad by
violating the boarding ruling"
