Delayed Applications
/. OF Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton ON railways and consequent delays
TO shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being APP
piled to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
4 A late application of fertilizer as a
side dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
to make the delayed fertilizer appliea-
ton in this way than to attempt to
grow q crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive,
The big problem is to apply the fertile
er with the least possible amount of
labor, but at such time, and in such
way, as to make it most effective.

a city which would be an object lesson to
the world: People came here from all parts
of the earth, some of them for distance of
10000 miles, to be away from the damning
vices and influences to which they had been

No one can defeat Gods eternal purposes.

Zion, will the work 60 forward
The world is wide. There are tens of
thousands of towns and communities in
America where people desiring the custo-
mary environments, can find full opportu-
mites to enter upon business or profess
sional career. Then why try to hinder or
discourage community of Christian peo-
pie who are seeking to carry out the prin-
ciples for which they came here to live ?
Why try to blight or destroy the one city
in the world today, in which Theocracy
rules, and which was intended as an in
stitutional city?
Surely it will be conceded by any fair
minded individual that Zion people have a
right to control the city which they founded
and built at the expenditure of great toll
and sacrifice. 1t is the only city in the
world in which the majority of the people
are opposed to the use Of tobacco, to liquor
drinking, profanity, theaters, moving pic
ture shows, dance halls and all other evils.
The principle Of democracy is that the
majority shall rule Why should this prin-
ciple apply in all other cities of the land
and be denied to a Zion community?

previous. This number would be enough
to supply every man, woman and child in
the country with cigaret every day for a
year
Fully 95 per cent of the men in military
service are said to be users of tobacco Con-
sldering the rate at which various forms of
the weed are being shipped to France for
members of the expeditionary forces, Ameri-
can soldiers are using more tobacco than
before the armistice. The average monthly
shipments now amount to Az, 100000 ciga-
rets and 100000 cigars. Against this,
the total consumption by American soldiers
in France during the whole 10 months of
warfare was "only" 2,OOOO0OO0O
Reports from the internal revenue bureau
state that Americas export in cigarets dur
ing the first eight months of 1918 aggrega-
ted 1882 437 900 or almost double that of
the same period of the year previous Of
the countries that bought cigarets from the
United States China stands foremost Ship
ments to ports of that country for the eight
months period amounted to over 4, 4,5OO,OOO,

1t was a day of superlatives. The Resto-
ration Host met with preeminent success in
selling the literature. The 24-page issue of
Leaves of Healing on the Second Coming Of
Christ was carried exclusively, and over
fifteen hundred copies were sold.
Never have we seen an audience buy
Leaves of Healing more readily than the one
in Orchestra Hall. Over twenty people were
engaged in selling literature at the tables
in front and in sections over the building
while the people were gathering. Some lady
workers reported that almost every one in
their section purchased copy Of this special
issue
Only Eternity will reveal all that was
accomplished by this service. One gentle
man. when asked to buy the Leaves Of

Important Notice

We want to call your particular attention
to the following in blowing lots.
The sidewalks must not be driven over,
and the dirt must not be turned up on the
sidewalks and left there.
Where there is no sidewalk, the sidewalk
space must be left untouched for the use of
pedestrians.
In some parts of the city, we find they
are blowing up the sidewalk space and even
out into the street. We want all the ground
used that can be, but it must be remembered
that space for sidewalks and streets must be
left open.
Do not permit your chickens to run at
large, or you will be apt to get into trouble,
as there is an ordinance prohibiting it.
Let each one be careful about these mat
ters and keep things in good order

he is not in sympathy with Our views?

stretch of prairie land into wholesome,
thriving, God-fearing little city; gang
which has been licked to standstill in every
move they have made to damn this city and

which is now turning to others like a lot OF

their chestnuts from the fire, a gang
which has repeatedly shown in the
past that they will not stop at any
thing in order to accomplish their purposes

TO BATTLE WITH TOBACCO
(The following article is taken from The
Pathfinder, of March y, 1919

(The following article is taken from The
Pathfinder, of March p, 1919
Though the use of tobacco by Ameri-
cans seems to be increasing, there is a
counteracting movement afoot now which
is growing stronger every day and which
certain prominent citizens believe will ter
inmate in the passage of legislation prohibit
ing the use of tobacco anywhere in the coun-
try. Says professor of Syracuse Univer-
sity: "The liberal use of tobacco during
the war has brought to climax the oppo-
sition to it. Now that the war is over, the
anti-tobacco movement will be pushed vigor-
ously."
This educator confidently predicts that a
national amendment making it unlawful to
smoke cigarets will be adopted within two
years. Commenting on this prediction, the
Washington Post says: "The campaign to
amend the federal constitution so that the
manufacture and sale of cigarets will be
abolished may be looked upon rather as a
Joke, and yet it should be recalled that Is
years ago the man who had the temerity
to predict that in 1919 the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquor would be abol-
ished would have been marked down as a
dreamer"
The enormous quantity of cigarets con-
sumed within the past few months is GER
tainly startling and sufficiently significant
to wake the most unmindful persons to the
Importance of the issue Over 4OO00,00O-
600 cigarets were consumed in this country
