ZION H.. oct. 22.-Zion schools,
of which Wilbur Glenn Noliva, the
overseer of the colony. is president,
have adopted his new theories Of n
flat world and the absence of gravita-
ton, and the 900 grade and high
school pupils hcievc them implicitly
according to their teachers.
The public school maintained by the
state board Of education and attended
by the children OF non-mombcrs Of
Voliva's Christian Catholic Apostolic
church still teaches, however, that the
world is a globe moving through limit
less space and that it was the attrac-
tion of gravity which caused the APP
pie to fall ON Issac Newton,s head.
At the Zion schools the new course
Of study teaches that.
The earth is a flat circular world,
with a north pole In the exact center.
no south pole, and surrounded by a
wall of ice which keeps Venturesome
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 81 .OOOO 900 miles away
but is really a little orb 80 miles
across and only 5000 miles from the
earth
That the law of gravitation is n
fallacy and when objects are thrown
into the air they continue to rise
until the force which propelled them is
expended. and then fall back to earth
because they are heavier than air.

Gillette Safety Razor
10 p. C.. Stock Dividend
Special Meeting of Sharehold.
ers Called to Authorize
Increase i'm Capital

The Gillette Safety Razor Company
has declared stock dividend of 10
per cent for the year 1921, payable
December 10 to stock of record Decem-
Der IL. A special meeting of share
holders has been called for November
IL to authorize sn increase in the
capital from 100000 shares, no par
value. to 100000 shares. The stock
dividend will be paid out of this
increase.
Frank J. Fahey, vice-president. said
that In view of the present prosperous
condition of the company the directors
felt that shareholders should be com
pensated in some way in addition to
the regular dividends. He stated that it
is to be part of the company's future
policy to declare stock dividends, in
addition TO the regular cash dividends.
The present cash dividend is at the
rate of $12 per share per annum," he
added, 'and the directors see no rea-
son why they cannot continue to pay
this dividend in respect of all share
outstanding after the proposed dis
tribution to stockholders.
In view Of the large number Of share
holders who are residents of Masss-
chusetts Mr.. Fahey said that the di-
rectors are considering the problem Of

Z. S. Must Keep
Budget Balanced,
Asserts Wadsworth
Needs No Quack Remedies
for Present Temporary
Troubles, Assistant Sec.
retary Tells Bond Club

"The United States must keep it's
budget balanced no matter how great
the burden" said Elliot Wadsworth
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in
an address at the monthly luncheon of
the Bond Club yesterday, "for VIC are
to-day the main strength of the
worlds financial and economic struc-
ture.
eve are financially sound and must
stay sound" he continued. in summing
up his description of the governments
financial position. eve need to adopt no
quack remedies for our present tempo
rary troubles, such as imitation or gov
ernment ownership. We can fight our
way back to prosperity on the old, safe
basis Of individual initiative and the
honest dollar"
Mr.. Wadsworth was optimistic con-
corning the financial outlook of the
country, and showed how vastly better
OFT we are here in America than are the
peoples of the central European coun-
trses or the peoples of Great Britain,
France or Italy.
What has happened to the Ger
man people?'' he asked "They find to-
day that the mark, in which their bonds
are payable, has deprecated to perhaps
one-thirtieth OR one-fortieth of the
value that it was when they put the
money in. That has been done bv the
government policy of initiating the cur
rency. A man who was worth 10000
marks in 1915 gets his 10000 marks
to-day. That was money he had saved
up, his capital, and he hoped to hand
1T over TO his wife or his Children To-
day he has the same 10000 marks, and
he flnds 1t is worth about one -thirtieth
OF what 1t was, and it is going down
every day. Suppose a man had saved
up enough money to loan 100 900 marks
on first mortgage on an Office build
ing. In three years he finds that
whereas that money was originally
worth $4,000, to-day it is not worth
anything like $1,000 in real money.
Now, the situation of the next year
or two years sas to reparation pay
ments, as to ths political DEVELOPMENTS
which come out Of it, is perfectly
blind. Nobody can guess what will be
the result. There is one great hope
for fundamental clearing up Of the
situation, and that is that in this Con-
ference for the Limitation Of Arma-
ment at Washington some plan NAV
be devised to cut down the national
budgets and get these countries, one
by one, perhaps into a position where
they can make both ends meet. The
minute they can do that they can stop
Initiating their currency, perhaps put
out some new kind of currency in place
of the old in very much fewer units
and begin again to do business with
the rest of the world"
