OF Local Interest
NEW LABOR SAVING MACHINE PRO
CURED BY ZION PRINTING AND
PUBLISHING HOUSE
&C. B. wy

A new Christensen Automatic Inserter and
Stitcher has just been purchased by Zion Print
ing and Publishing House.
This machine with motor complete, costing
approximately $4,000, makes it possible for tour
girls to do the work which eight girls can do
bv hand in the old fashioned way.
The girls feed the sheets into sections on big
carrier and the whole process of inserting, stitch
ing and jogging is automatic. The machine never
misses stitch when sheet comes along on the
carrier but if the girl misses in feeding section
of the carrier, the stitcher of itself wthhods &C
ton and does not operate. The machine is about
twenty-four feet in length.
This is one of the first machines of the kind
installed anywhere in the country 1t is manu-
featured by the Christensen Machine Company
of Racine, Wisconsin, and has been perfected
only about one month, although the inventor spent
about fifteen years in working out the idea It
will go long way toward revolutionizlng bind
cry work in the printing business.
Zion Printing and Publishing House, having
vast amount of catalog work to get out right
along, as we'll as the Leoves of Healing to pub.
fish regularly every week. can use machine OF
this kind to excellent advantage.

LETTER RECEIVED BY APOSTLE
JORDAN FROM MINISTER

Apostle Willis F. Jordan was very pleasantly
surprised, few days ago, to receive a letter
from an old ministerial friend with whom he once
associated in a series Of special meetings when
in the Baptist Church, and of whom he had lost
track
The minister informed him that one of his
members had given him a copy of Leaves of
Healing short time before, containing Apostle
Jordan's testimony and with the Jordan family
photographed on the front page
The minister stated that since they labored
together years ago he had become convinced of
the pre-milennia1 view of the Second Coming
of Christ, and that the church Of which he is
pastor had been post-millennial but had become
pre-millennial under his ministry.
He added:
IT was interested in the article you wrote for
the paper. I trust you have found field of
usefulness.
1T feel very much as you do about the apostasy
of the present hour The Down Grade Move
ment' Of Surgeons day, against which he lifted
his voice with such protest, is in full and awful
swing. God spare us in the sad hour of denial !!
1t surely looks as though we are in the last days
of this age and the near approach of Our Gracious
Savior My heart yearns to see Him face to face
and it will not be long until my desire is fulfilled
x x would indeed love to see you and spend
a while with the Word in fellowship with you.
This letter was written from certain city IN
Arizona which was recently worked by Deacon
esses Buhmann and Schelhorn Among other
issues of Leaves of Healing, they sold the issue
containing the Jordan family testimony in that
very city, and in all probability that is the way
the paper gotsinto this minister's hands. In
spreading the literature, never knows whom
it will reach
Apostle Jordan has mailed his old time associ-
ate quantity of Leaves of Healing containing
his articles, copy of his book and other Zion
literature.

ANOTHER MAGAZINE is
GOTTEN OUT WITHOUT
THE AID OF PRINTERS

New York, Oct. 27.-For the Sec
ond time in the history Of the modern
publishing industry a magazine was
issued today without the aid Of COM
positors. The experiment was first
made a week ago by the Literary Di-
gest, one Of the scores Of periodicals
forced to suspend typesetting by the
lockout and strike in the local print
ing trade. Nugent's Weekly, a ma
tional magazine devoted to the manu-
facture of women's garments, fol
lowed the example of the Literary
Digest today with the announcement
that publication would be maintained
by the same process every week until
the strike ended.
The trade magazine claimed tt
have made considerable advances
over its literary contemporary II
methods The same process Of type
writing and then photographing th'
pages was used, but by use of spe
cial typewriter the lines were "justi
fed" or equalized in length. A
special process also was used in th'
electro-engraving, said to be a meth
cd recently patented.

HIGH PRICES DUE TO
PUBLIC'S DESIRE FOR
EXPENSIVE THINGS

Washington, Oct. 29.-Sixteen' to
twenty million tons Of food more than
necessary for American consumption
will be the yield from this years crop,
Herbert Hoover, former food admin
istrator told a house war investigat-
ing committee today, adding that the
continuing high retail prices were due
largely to the appalling psychology
of the public to buy expensive
things"
Speculation by thousands of>people
in anticipation Of big demand from
Germany was also blamed by Mr.
Hoover for advancing prices. He
said large stocks were accumulated
by the trade on the assumption that
export trade to Germany would be
opened soon after the signing of the
armistice.
Instead of buying, the German'
tighten up their BELTS" he said. Mr.
Hoover said that while the wholesale
price of pork had 'gone part of thu
way it ought to fall" retail prices hat
not been reduced to any material ex
tent.

5000 feet on structure that has been
pronounced as excellent. They are

CLOVIS OFFERS FARMERS
GO00 WHEAT MARKET

enighborhood was N Clcvis last Sat
urday. Mr.. Brummett has been haul
ing wheat to Clovis and says on last
Wednesday he had wheat sold at
Friona and also at Clovis and that the
Clovis Mill & Elevator Co. here paid
him $2.07 per bushel for wheat that
tested 591s pounds to the ,bhshel. The
Frona buyers only paid $2.04 and the
test was only SO pounds, notwith-
standing the wheat all came out of
the same bin. Mr.. Brummett says
the people of his neighborhood have
hauled quite bit Of wheat to Texas
points this year, but that with better
roads to Clovis, the greater part Of il
would come here as this is the county
seat and logical trading point.
From the above il will be noticed
that Clovis buyers are paying fully
up to the prices paid in towns further
east and in many instances more, not
withstanding the fact that they have
a little the best of Il on freight rates
In addition to this, Clovis has secured
many more cars than the other towns
and has been in position to keep th'
grain moving better than the smallet
places that are not junction points.

DOES THE BOOZE BAN
CAUSE A SUGAR SHORTAGE?

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Some re-
markable facts have been brought to
light in the senate investigation Of
the sugar famine.
The most surprising one is the
thousands Of men who never before
entered a soda fountain are now
rushing the ice-cream soda as en-
Enthusiastically as they formerly "rush-
ed the growler."
Experts blame this new, class of
sugar consumers OH prohibition,
pointing out that in the absence Of
alsbhdlic drinks men indirectly salts
fy the craving for them with sugar.
The extent Of the inroad upon the
sugar supply is indicated by the state
ment Of one food expert that this is
leading cause for the sugar short
age.
Another discovery is that large
numbers of girls, getting better sal
aries than ever before are on a
spending splurge," as DR.. Alonzo
Taylor of the Food Administration,
characterized it.
DR.. Taylor has also reached the
conclusion that the American people,
never characterized generally as
thrifty are even more reckless since
the wars end, with its release from
tense mental and business strain. He
testified recently that he did not be-
lieve the price of anything, no mat.
ter how high, is a detriment to the
American who desires to purchase the
article in question, but on the other
hand, the American is more likely
nowadays to pick an article for it,
high price instead of seeking the low
er price,

ANOTHER CAS- FLOW
STRUCK 1T TUcUMCAR|

Tucumcari, N. NJ, Oct. 29.-An-
other flow of gas was struck in the
MCGEE well, about eight and one-half
miles southeast of here Monday.
While no estimate was placed on the
quantity of gas, it was sufficient to
blow the tools about 200 feet into the
air. The gas was struck at a depth
of about $500 feet. The rush of gas
caused a cave-in, which is being
bridged and it is expected that drill
ing will be resumed within short
time. There were also some signs oi
oil.
