Did you over cook dried pruncs and
dried apricots together? They are a de
licious combination and are a change from
the old way iIhey may either be cooked
together or combined afterward. BE sure
to soak Them at least II hours before
cooking Try spoonful of tits mixture

whipped cream or with plain cream.
Fish are scaled and fowles are pIucked
more quickly if dipped into boiling water

Rice boiled in milk instead of water
has much richer flavor. 1t must be

it will burn quickly.

WILL THE METHODIST CHURCH
SURRENDER TO DANCERS?

Will the Methodist church accede to the
request of the American National Associ-
alton of Dancing Masters, and remove the
ban on dancing at their next general con-
ference to be held in Des Moines, Ia, in
May?
The association passed resolutions at its
convention in New York unfolding the
value of decent dancing, and formally asked
the Methodists to allow dancing by their
members 1--WE promise to try to have
dancing on a plane so high that neither
church nor state can object to its legitimate
exercise" they say.

ZION: IT'S MEANING AND LOCATION
wv. F. IT,

The word "Zion" is one of the most in
teresting in all the Word of God 1t oc-
ours one hundred and fifty-four times in
the Old Testament and seven times in the
New Testament
1t means the Kingdom and Rule of God
! over the whole earth hence, it is Gods
Organization, Theocracy, Rule and Gov
eminent on earth = not in Heaven There
is no "Zion above" because there cannot be-
The Church, the mystical Body of Christ,
is not Zion; neither is the Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church These are both organ
isms and the latter is also an organization,
in Zion.
The words, "For out of Zion shall go
forth the law and the Word of Jehovah
from Jerusalem Isaiah 2:3) point out an
institution, an organized system of rule
and propaganda on the earth, with head
quarters at Jerusalem the place of central
lied authority.
Zion had place in the councils of the
Eternal. 1t is part of His glorious Plan.
In the unfolding of the Dispensations, at
the proper time, Jehovah began to unveil
Zion. When the time arrived, He had His
man ready, having predestinated him. So
He chose him; He called him; He qualified
him; He used him until his mission, mes
sage and work were finished.
The Word of God overwhelmingly sub
Stimulates this principle and position
Zion was to be unveiled in THE LAT
TER DAYS, and when those DAYS were
due to begin Jehovah laid hold of the man.
He put His Spirit upon him in most
marvellous and Elijah manner His man
went forth crying aloud and sparing none
The burden Of his message was Repent
ance and Restoration: get right with God
and make all things right with man = move
on to Straight Street" as Saul of Tarsus
had to do before God would have any fur
ther dealings with him.
From the beginning of her unveiling
Zion has angered the Devil and his bunch
They have tried in every way possible to
| compass her destruction, but God, in every
instance, has confounded their efforts.
Today, "Zion stands with hills surround
ed, Zion kept by power Divine" = stronger
than ever before, and destined to see the
complete obliteration of all her enemies.
Zion does not depend upon any one man,
not even John Alexander Dowie, for her
continued existence Gods work is always
greater than are His workers His message
always is greater than His messenger No
matter how many of Gods workers may
pass on nor how many of His messengers
may collapse, His work will go on. God
will raise up more workers and another
messenger.
Let no one get the idea that he is neces-
sary to God and Zion. Moses may suddenly
disappear on Mount Nebo, but Joshua is at
hand in the valley below; Elijah may sud-
denly be whisked up to Heaven, but Elisha
will pick up Elijah's mantle, and with the
cry, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah %

fishing His Rule as far as it is within its
power to do.
Zion proposes no violent measures to over
throw Democratic Rule and Authority and

place to that Rule of God which can alone
satisfy the demands of God and the needs
of man.

A WELL BAL
ANCED PROGRAM

i The coming Chautauqua program
is apparently we'll balanced In so far
as music, lectures, and entertainment
are concerned. There is an abundance
/ of good music, clean wholesome en-
\ tertainment and long and notable
! list of lecturers.
One of the leading speakers OF the
week is to be Adam Bede, formerly
Congressman from Minnesota and, a
man who stands high in the respect
of the nation. His subject at Chau-
tauqua is to be "Our Nation; Its
Problems and Progress" and we may
look for some straight thinking and
hard hitting from the former "Hum-
orist of the House"
Edward F. Trefz, formerly Field
Secretary of the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce and Assistant to Herbert
Hoover in Food Administration work,
is unquestionably one of the biggest
men on the pogram. Mr.. Trefz is
one of the most eloquent men on the
American platform. In the past
eight years he has delivered almost
5000 addresses to prominent business
mems organizations.
Private Peat is the headliner on
the sixth night. This little Canadian
is nationally famous because of his
book, "Private Peat" his magazine
articles and his moving picture Other
prominent lecturers are DR.. Joseph
Glare, the pastor of Petrograd,"
who tells the thrilling story of the
Russian Revolution as he saw it in
the capital city; DR.. A. D. Carpenter,
with lecture of absorbing interest
on Celestial Mechanics; DR.. Eli
oft A. Boyl, with an inspirational adj
dress; W. L. Mellinger, throwing new
light on the Mexican situation; Mrs.
r. c. McCredie and Miss r. Louise
Fitch, speaking on reconstruction
problems as they effect womankind,
and Henry Warren Poor with an I'm
derwood and Underwood illustrated
lecture on the closing days of the war
and the dawn of peace overseas.
The music of the week looks par
tlcularly strong. The big feature of
the program is the Czecho-Slovak
Band under the direction of Jaroslav
Cimera. This band of Bohemian mus
1cians is making it's first tour of the
South and West and it's coming is
being eagerly anticipated everywhere.
Other musical events of first impor-
lance are two concerts by the Lewis
Military Quartet, four voices picked
from forty thousand at Camp Lewis;
Mary Abel Hays, the widely known
New York Coloratura Soprano and
her company of Recital Artists; the
Fillion Concert Party, featuring Ferd-
inand Fillion, the French violinist,
and Fern Goltra, of Chicago Opera
fame; the McDonough- Eagleston
Company, two girls in a snappy, first
night program; the Regniers, talent
ed musica Entertainers, and the Apol-
10 Concert ompany, one of the big
musical organizations of the Lyceum
and Chautauqua world.
A big entertainment feature is pro-
Yided in "Turn to the Right" by Ed
win Whitney of Boston. The presen-
tation of this metropolitan success
on the third night lis one of the
events of first Importance during the
week. Another entertainer who will
make a host of friends at Chautau-
qua is Elsie Mae Gordon, the promi-
nent and talented artist from the
Hoosier State. Her negro, Italian
and child sketches have won an en-
during name for her on the American
platform.

RETURN OF AN OLD-TIMER

Yesterday Col. A. E. Bates, an old
timer in Mexico, returned from the
East, and after few days in the
line city he will go down the West
Coast to look after business interests
there. Col. Bates is representative
in Mexico for the Advance Rumley
Thresher Co., Inc, of Laporte, Ind
lana, and he is getting the agricul-
tural machinery products of that cor
poration introduced into Mexico to
meet the great demand arising from
the big development in cultivation
that has manifested a beginning. Big
things in agriculture are coming to a
head in Mexico, and the colonel has
been so long in that country that he
KNOWS just how to meet the demand
of the time, and in the Advance
Rumley machinery he offers it.

UNITE IN THRESHlNG GRAIN
GRAFTON Is Reported From Con-
necticut Community.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The farm bureau in Columbia coun-
ty, Connecticut, discovered through its
agricultural survey last March that the
spring planting of small grains would
be greater than usual, but it was found
also that the town of Columbia owned
no threshing machine. At a meeting
of farmers called by the county agent
a committee was appointed TO induce,
if possible, a man to buy a ~threshing
machine and do the work. A man was
found. He bought a new machine and
declared himself ready to begin. The
farmers agreed to let him thresh all
their grain at z cents a bushel, the
farmers furnishing power. The ma
chine followed an itinerary mapped
out by the farmers committee, instead
of visiting farms at random. as has
been the custom in that state. Grain
was threshed much more quickly and
at a cost much less than heretofore.
This plan is thought to be a good *

Inspect Iron Boxes.
Special attention should be given to
the iron boxes in the hubs in the iron
wheels of plows. planters, cultivators,
hay rakes and similar tools. These
boxes are replaceable and can easily
be removed by unscrewing he large
nut on the outside Of the wheel that
holds these boxes in place. When this
nut Is removed a few taps of the ham
mer will usually drive the box out of
the hub and a new one can easily be
inserted. These boxes are numbered
so that it is not a difficult matter to
obtain duplicates from the local imple-
ment dealer. However, ii may be nee
essary to order these from supply
houses in distant cities, and ii is ad-
