Signs Tell tt All
Down at Zion City
Yoliva Erects New Sign at Zion City
That Explains to Visitors All
About SACRED City"

A giant bulletin board has just been
erected by Voliva on a vacant lot
northeast of the Chicago Northwestern
depot at Zion City. The sign replaces
one that was destroyed some time ago
by electrical workers at the Cook
Electrical plant. The bulletin board
announces to the world that Zion City
is not city of the world, but instead
a religious city and the home of the
Zion church and its officers and mem
bers. Visitors are told that they are
welcome at all times, but they must
not use tobacco while in the city.
The sign reads as follows:
"The City of Zion is distinctly and
absolutely a religious city founded as
the headquarters of the Christian
Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion, and
as the private church home of the of
fcers, members and friends of the
church. 1t never was intended at any
time that other than Zion families
should live here. Visitors are hearth
" welcome and will be shown every
courtesy. No man with any sense of
decency will use tobacco in Zion City.
There are thousand other towns
where outsiders can go and live ac-
cording to their liking. The rules and
regulations will be strictly enforced"

TEXAS PONIES
FOR TROOPERS
Kenosha Cavalry Troop
May Have to Do a Little
Broncho Busting Soon.
SHIPPED ON TUESDAY

Captain John D. Alexander of the
Kenosha Cavalry troop of the Wiscon-
sin National Guard, is certain that his
troopers are going to have plenty of
excitement in few days. He has re-
ceived word from Madison that the
horses for the local unit are to be
shipped fr31n Texas on June the first
and that they may be expected to ar
rive here in a week or ten days. The
notice of bill of lading is coming to-
gether with complete requisition
blanks for the care of the mounts.
The next sentence in the notification
was the one that surprised Captain
Alexander. "These are Texas horses,
it said, "half of them are broken and
half of them are not"
Be Some Broncho Busting.
"Guess we will have chance for a
little broncho-busting,D said Captain
Alexander as he commented on the
notification. The Kenosha unit has
several good horsemen in its ranks
men who broke horses in army days
and it is believed that they will be
able to handle the "Texas ponies"
with ease. There are to be thirty
two horses for the Kenosha company,
all of them according to the order,
being horses which were originally
purchased for regular army service.
Captain Alexander has made prep
arations to receive the mounts. He
has rented the Hansen livery stable
barn on Park street and will have it
ready for the horses when they reach
Kenosha. Arrangements have been
made to care for the horses and re-
QUESTIONS secured for the feed neces-
sary for immediate use.
All Equiment Coming.
Saddles, brides and all other equip
ment for the mounts is all ready to be
issued at Madison and will probably
reach Kenosha as soon as the horses
do. 1t is believed that the actual ar
rival of the horses will create great
deal of interest in the National Guard
activities in Kenosha. Captain Alex
ander intends to call the first mount
ed drill in short time after the
horses and saddles reach Kenosha.
