ANOTHER AUTOMATIC SS-FEEDER
BEING INSTALLED BY ZION PRINT
ING AND PUBLISHING HOUSE

Zion Printing and Publishing House is in
Stalling a new Dexter automatic "Cross con-
tinuous'' press-feeder, for their second-size
largest press, 68-inch Miehle.
One of these automatic press-feeders was in
stalled on their large 74-inch Miehle press
little more than year ago, this beng the
largest fat-bed press of it's kind made. The
results have shown great saving in time and
labor.
These remarkable automatic feeders, every
part Of which works with almost human intelli-
gence would have to be seen in operation to
be fully appreciated. Apparently involved and
complicated, their movements are the embodi-
ment of simplicity.
The following essentials put them squarely
up for consideration wherever an increased
profit on press or folder operation is required ::
The separation of sheets, of all weights and
qualities, is positive, the machines always feed
ing just one sheet at time, even when attached
to a high-speed rotary press
The register is unfalingly accurate, the
sheets having short, direct travel under drop
roll control
The stock is loaded while the press is running,
thus making a 100 per cent output during
running time of press or folder possible, effect
ing an economy Of labor that adds materially
to the profit account
Specific advantages are derived from their
use IN color printing. The principle of feeding
which requires each lift to be "fanned out
with it's weight well distributed, is Of special
Importance in color work It obviates sweat
ing and sticking together of colors This
makes these feeders of particular value to Zion
Printing and Publishing House, which special
ICES on high grade three and four color work
A particular feature is the quickness of size
changes.
They give free access to the rear of the press
They may be folded up and run back on
feed board.
The great saving effected by these folders is
shown by the fact that when compared with
the old-fashioned method of hand feeding,
gain of five thousand impressions is accom-
plished in the same period Of time
Zion Printing and Publishing House is buster
than ever before at this time Of the year, and
the latest up-to-date machinery is being added
from time to time to meet the increasing vol
ume of work.

ZION GUARD SOCIAL
&C. B. W.

The Zion Guard held it's annual social gath
ering Thursday evening of last week. There
was good attendance
An instructive as we'll as entertaining pro-
gram was rendered, including various musical
numbers Two members of the Zion Band
played cornet duet accompanied by mem
ber of Zion Orchestra. Evangelist Theodore
Dreyer, whose appointment as chaplain was an
nounced by Captain Jasper ii. DePew during
the evening" sang and played several selections
on the accordian. y
Captain DePew addressed few remarks to
the assembled guests, reviewing the history OF
the Zion Guard and outlining its purposes
The Zion Guard, a uniformed organization,
numbers at present, fifty men. The organization
was originated by DR.. Dowie in Chicago in 1895,
and it played a very important part IN the
early history of Zion, rendering valuable SER
vice in the protection Of life and property. In
1912, the Zion Guard was reorganized under the
direction of the General Overseer:
1t is the duty of this body of men to assist In
every practical way in the Tabernacle services,
and the marked success of the Fourth OF July
picnics and other public occasions has been due,
largely, to their indefatigable efforts
Long before the services begin on Lord S Day,
the Guard is at it's post Of duty ready to rem
der assistance to the aged and lntirm, the weak
and the helpless. They also give directions to
strangers and visitors, and are useful in main
tanning order in and about the Tabernacle and
grounds.
There are usually more than seventy-fve con-
veyances in attendance at an afternoon service
on Lord s Day, some Of these being taxis which
make numerous trips unloading in one place,
for the most part To meet these needs, traffic
squad is on duty for one hour before the service
and usually for an hour after it closes
A member Of Zion Guard does not stop to
take the weather into account, but is always
at his post Of duty in rain, cold or sunshine.

The draft of the league Of nations has been
submitted to the world this week and is now
awaiting sanction by the various contracting
governments 1t consists Of twenty-six articles
and was unanimously adopted, as a whole, by
the representatives Of fourteen nations in con-
ference assembled-the United States, Great
Britain France Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Japan,
China, Czecho-Slovakia, Greece, Poland, Por-
tugal Roumania and Servia.
This is without question the most momen-
tOus document ever drafted in the history OF
the human race and has been aptly referred to
by leading Chicago daily as ''THE CONSTl-
TUITION OF THE WORLD" It was read to
the plenary peace conference in session at Paris,
on the afternoon Of February IA, by President
Wilson, who was chairman of the commission
on the society Of nations and who is said to
have been the central figure.
The objects Of the league Of nations were set
forth in preamble as follows:
'In order to promote international cooper
alton and to secure international peace and
security by acceptance of obligations not to
resort to war, by the prescription Of open, just
and honorable relations between nations, by
the firm establishment Of the understandings
of international law as the actual rule Of con-
duct among governments and by the mainten-
ance of justice and scrupulous respect for
all treaty obligations in the dealings Of organ
lied people with one another, the powers sigma
tory to this covenant adopt this constitution
of the league Of nations:"

NOn-Members

In disputes between members of the league and
non-members, the latter are to be invited to &C
cept obligations of membership in the league to
solve the difficulty. In the event of a power so
refusing to accept the obligations of membership,
the league will break relations and the executive
council will decide upon necessary steps to be
taken
Government of Colonies and Territories
To those colonies and territories, which as a
consequence of the late war are no longer under
the sovereignty of the nations which formerly
governed them and which are inhabited by
peoples not yet able to stand by themselves, it
has been decided that the well-being and develop
ment of such peoples form sacred trust of
civilization.
The tutelage of such peoples shall be entrusted
to advanced nations who, by reason of their re-
sources their experience or their geographical
position can best undertake this responsibility,
and that this tutelage shall BE exercised by them
as mandatories on behalf of the league. The
character of the mandate must differ according
to the stage of the development of the people,
the geographical situation of the territory, its
economic conditions and other similar circum-
stances. In every case of mandate, the manda-
tory state shall render to the league an annual
report in reference to the territory committed
to its charge.
