Maj. Gen. George Barnett. who was

Senate committee investigating con-
ditions in Haiti and Santo Domingo
various details of his Investigations

Haiti. He emphasized that his rec

proceeding Of two marines charged
with the first execution of natives
was submitted to Secretary of the
Navy Daniels in the fall of 1917, il
having been stated that the Secre-
tary's attention had not been directed
to it until a year later.
u was startled by the disclosure
shown in the evidence and particu

the accused to the effect that the court
should not judge the two marines
harshly, because they were following
general custom, and he had seen many

ZION. Ill, October 24.-Zion schools,
Of which Wilbur Glenn Voliva. the
overseer Of the colony. is president.
have adopted his new theories of
fiat. world and the absence Of gravita-
ton, and the 1000 grade and high
school pupils believe them implicitly.
according to their teachers.
The public school maintained by
the state board of education and at
tended by the children OF non-mem-
bers of Voliva's Christian Catholic
Apostolic church still teaches, how
ever, that the world Is a globe NOV
ing through limitless space. and that
lit was the attraction Of gravity
which caused the apple to fall on
Isaac Newton's head.
At the Zion schools the new course
of study teaches that:
The earth is a fiat circular world.
with north pole in the exact center.
no south pole, and surrounded by 4
mariners from falling off the rim.
That the earth has no motion. but
remains stationary in space:
That the sun is not millions OF
miles in diameter and 91,0OO,000 miles
away, but is really little orb 80
SAAe
the earth.
That the law Of gravitation is a
fallacy and when objects are thrown
into the all. they continue to rise until
the force which propelled them Is
expended, and then fall back to earth
because they are heavier than air.
A standard map of the world. on
Christopher's projection, is used in
the schools to demonstrate the fiat
world theory. This map. which is
used by navigators and scientists in
making time and longitude calcula-
tions, diners from the usual Mer-
Gators projection familiar in other
schools, in that 1t shows the earth
as it would look to an observer
directly above the north pole. with
the continents and seas projected on
a fiat plane. AS a result the north

are indicated by a white ring about
the outer circumference Of the circle.
This ring, according to Voliva. is the
ice barrier which keeps mariners
from falling off the edge OF this fiat

the Zion school system and an ar

Why don't some of the globular earth

Miss Eva Baker. teacher of geog

that the sun is only tiny orb a few
thousand miles away. instead of an
orb millions Of miles in diameter and
100000 miles from the earth If
the sun was so large. she says. it
would light up all the world. instead
of confining its hottest rays to a
3,0O0-mile wide belt between the two
tropics. Voliva himself, in a recent
sermon at Shiloh Tabernacle. said
God certainly would not have made
a sun to light the world and then
placed it SO far away.

FOR CO-OPERATTVE MARKETING

shorten the process Of distribution by
organization. and. through eliminat-
ing all unessential middlemen, will
greatly lessen the cost of marketing

The senator then quotes a recent
witness before the joint congressional
commission on agricultural inquiry
who in discussing the agricultural
monopoly possibility put it this way:
Suppose all the wheat producers on
the million wheat farms in the coun-
try should combine to boost prices.
There are three or four million other
farmers in the country who could and
would produce wheat. Furthermore,
the dairy farmers Of the east are the
wheat growers greatest customers.
If wheat got too high the dairy farm
to raising wheat. In other words, he
insists. there is no possibility of or
ganizing 100000 farmers of every
kind and class. including groups nat
urally opposed to one another. as
wheat raisers and -dairymen would be.

Where Farmers Are Most Prosperous
"In Wisconsin,, Senator Capper
continues. state laws are favorable
to farmer cooperative societies, and
more prosperous than those Of other
agricultural states. Wisconsin's

after-war years have only made its
alarming weakness more apparent to
the nation. The history. of farm CO.

all our barriers to voluntary CO.

TRAIN CALLED 'HIGHBALL'
ROAMS NORTH WOODS
Iron Range Night Local Drops
Fishermen Anywhere and Lets
Crew Dig Potatoes.

DULUTH, Mimi, October 24.-There
is a tramp train on the Duluth and
Iron Range railroad running up into
the north woods that has gone on for
year after year unheeding the ad-
vance OF progress. The train is
known as the Highball. She makes
her nightly flight into the north
woods for the accommodation of
lumberjacks, sportive fishermen. hunt
ers and seekers of work, picking up
as a side issue a parcel of hogs or a
herd of sheep.
The Highball is composed of box
cars, one wooden passenger coach. a
combination smoker and baggage car
and then a caboose, the latter serving
also as a sleeping car.
So the Highball wends her merry
way almost unheedful of a schedule.
for she will drop off a fisherman or
a hunter in any hour in the dead of
night at any place he chooses to Sc
lect, station or no station: or one OF
the crew may wish to dig bushel
Of potatoes growing in the field near
the tracks, The Highball waits. Or
1T may stop at a little cottage just
around a curve, where little woman
is nursing back to health a husband
with a cough. The Highball stops
while the crew takes up collection
of butter, eggs and potatoes gathered
along the right of way.
Truly, the Highball is unique as a
train running in this advanced age.

The decoration Of an unknown

ing. with accompanying ceremonies.
has left tremendous impression upon
the people in the Scandinavian coun-
tries and northern Europe, generally.
Nothing else that has happened since
the United States entered the war
has been so convincing of the friend
illness of the great western de-
mocracies.
All publications Of every shade of
opinion, including the red" organs
published in Russia devote unusual
space to the events in London, ac-
knowledging editOrially that the
bonds of sympathy between Britain
and the United States have been ce-
mented more firmly by Gen. Persh-
ing's visit than by anything else that
could have occurred.
Many people in northern Europe
have long held the view that the re-
lations between the allied countries
could not survive the trade warfare
and other disturbances after the war.
Such opinions were sent out regu-
larly from Germany by a ceaseless
propaganda attempting to prove thai
the trend Of international develop
ments was leading inevitably to a
conflict between the western powers.
BY the simple act of the recognition
of unknown warriors these illusions
have been largely dispelled.
