VOliva Rants About
Women's Dress Again
Zion City Overseer Opens Fire on the
Flappers Who Go on Streets Attired
in Mems Clothing

According to Wilbur Glenn Voliva
God the Almighty has decreed that it
is an abomination for women to wear
mems apparel and he has declared that
he will stand by the Bible as the law
of God and he will see that this law is
enforced in Zion City. A giant bull
letin board, standing on the corner of
9th street and Elijah avenue, is all
painted white, ready for sign, and
as this board faces the public highway
it will no doubt be the one chosen to
announce to the world that women clad
in khaki or any other kind of brooches
can't alight on the streets of Zion. II
she does, it is said, police are expected
to wrap a blanket around them and
hault them to the calabouse.
"I saw one woman in mems breeches
in Zion the other day." said Overseer
Voliva. "She was big fat thing with
voice like al ass! We won't tolerate
such things in this town. Let these
women dress modestly, like woman
ought to do, and not ape the men. The
word of God strongly condemns the
wearing of mems garments by women
In the 22nd chapter of Deuteronomy
fifth verse, God says: The woman
shall not wear that which pertaineth
unto man, neither shall man put on
woman's garment; for whosoever
doeth these things is an abomination
unto Jehovah the Cod"

(By Associated Press Leased wIre.)
Berlin The clerical and social

joint appeal to the German peoples
party inviting the latter to enter the

First In Field
With Fish Story

Here's the first fish story for Keno
sha for the season:
1t is true one. Johnny Ward and
Harry Miller can prove it. Saturday
afternoon last they were fishing at
Powers Lake; it had been rather dull
afternoon for the anglers, but they
were rewarded by some fair-sized
catches All at once Ward got an enor-
nous nibble on his line; he started to
pull in the catch and found he had a
job on his hands. When the fish got
near enough to see it, Ward discovered
that he had hooked large gaarfsh,
and he knew that it would be quite a
feather in his hat if he landed it. He
had heavy line, which he knew would
hold, and so he let the fish wear itself
out struggling. After a half hour he
finally landed the fish in the boat.
The fight wasn't over yet. The fish
again got rambunctious and nearly
Topped back in the water. Harry Mil
Ter, who was in the boat, caught it with
his heel and sent it back in the boat,
stunning it and putting an end to the
fun.
The gaarfsh, one of the, few caught
in that lake, weighed twelve pounds
and was about four feet long. The
anglers left it on display at the hotel
at Powers Lake. They wish nows that
they had brought it to Kenosha to be
undisputable evidence of their catch.

Prints Bible AS
Weekly News Serial
Topeka Editor Finds Bible is Having
Marvellous Effect as Serial Story
in His Paper.

Topeka, Kans. Is printing the
Bible good newspaper feature? Will
the average person read the Bible if
published in this way?
After printing a weekly serial from
the Bible for three months, Arthur j
Carruth, managing editor Of the To-
peka State Journal, declares that the
publication Of the Bible has proved
to be the greatest success of any fea-
ture ever printed by the State Journal
Moreover, it is being read by many
subscribers as faithfully as would be
the installments of a popular novel,
Carruth states
"The publication of the Bible serial
ly has had a marvellous effect" said
Mr.. Carruth. at has shown that the
subscribers are sincere in their de-
mand for reading matter of religious
character, and also has shown the
public that the newspapers do not
print only the sensational, that they
do not attempt to appeal primarily to
the masses and that they do mot neg
Iect the church"
As an indication of the interest TAX
en- in the publication of the Bible, Mr..
Carruth stated he had received in
quiries from every state in the ma
ton, many letters from Canada and a
number of communications from for
eign countries. A number of Kansas
newspapers have taken up the publ
cation of the Bible since the Journal
started it, Mr.. Carruth stated. He
said out Of about sixty ministers in
Topeka, he has received communica-
tions from all and that in only two
or three cases had they criticised the
publication.
The publication of the Bible was
undertaken by the State Journal at
the suggestion of DR. Charles NJ Shell
don, of Topeka, editor of The Chris
tian Herald and we'll known author.
Each installment includes about 5000
words. The Weymuth text of the New
Testament, translation in everyday
English, is used. Already publication
of the Book of Mark has been com
pleted and the Book of Luke is well
under way.

Vital Statistics
Must be Reported

Vital statistics are we'll named. They
are vital to the life and health of every
community.
Were is not for vital statistics, pub
lie health officials would not know
whether they were gaining or losing
in the struggle against death, disease
and ignorance.
No business man fails to keep ac-
curate record of accounts, so that he
can determine at any time whether he
is gaining or losing. It is the same
in the great business of life. Every
birth must be recorded; every marri-
age, every death. So, too, must GER
tain contagious diseases.
Records of births, marriages, deaths
and infectious diseases are Of great
value to health officers, to others do
ing social work, and to doctors and
scientists in studying and preventing
unnecessary sickness and death.
When physicians reports show dis
ease like typhoid Increasing, steps can
be taken Immediately to find the source
of infection.
Every birth should be recorded, not
only because it is the child's right, but
also to enable accurate account to be
kept of the causes of infant deaths.
Great progress has been made in re-
cent years in saving the lives of new
born children. This was made possible
in part because statistics showed the
causes of illness and the extent to
which it was occurring.

YOUR JOB.
(By ELIZABETH ARNOLD.
(Emplovment Expert.l


Do you distinguish between greed
and selfshness? The greedy person
is always trying to get something
which does not belong to him. He
wants more than his share. He does
not play fair. The man who succeeds
for himself or any one else, usually
has the interest of self at heart which
is perfectly natural Have you ever
noticed that the beautiful character is
ordinarily person with a relaxed
will, travelling through life with his
back to the wind, getting nowhere ?
The fellow who has nothing, is usually
ready to share it. The selfish fellow
is simply the fellow who knows what
he wants and is willing to take the
trouble to get it. Very few fortunes
are made by or on beautiful charac-
tiers. The mass of humanity is selfish
or dead.

Black Plague RACES
in Southern China
by Associated Press)

Annoy, China-The bubonic plague
which usually breaks out in> South
Fukien during June, made its appear
ance this year in April. 1t has already
claimed victims by the thousands, es-
pecially in the interior districts where
public health receives little or no at
tention. There the people are ignorant
and know no precautions or remedies
save superstitious rites and customs.
In Annoy the foreign health officers,
schools, local Young Mems Christian
association and Boy Scouts are doing
everything in their power to prevent
the spread of this malady. Instructive
lantern lectures are given in public
places by the Young Mems Christian
association, and the Boy Scouts make
excursions to villages in the district
distributing pamphlets on the plague,
its cause and prevention.

WILL RETURN
TO GET BEER
Aliens Plan to Play Trump
Card to Get Return of
Beer and Wines.
BEGIN MOVEMENT HERE
Kenosha Aliens in Lead to Or
ganize to Return to
Old Country.

"Give US back our beer and wine by
Christmas or we'll go back to the old
country" is threat which is being
made by some Of the foreigners in
Kenosha, according to reports which
were current today. 1t is declared
that a number of persons of German
and Polish origin in this city are join
ing in notion-wide movement among
those of foreign birth to play this
trump card in an effort to bring back
their beer and wine.
II know that many Kenoshans are
planning to do this" declared r. F.
Schmitt, a German who resides at 1878
West Prairie avenue. IA boarding
house where several foreigners are
living is the center Of the movement
in Kenosha. Every man there is plan
ming to return to the old country unless
he gets back beer and wine"
Worse in Old Country.
When it was pointed out that the
old country might have beer and wine
but no means of securing money in
order to pay for it, it was stated that
the foreigners had weighed this sit
uation and we're ready to take the
chance. They believe that if the move
ment becomes nationwide one, they
may force the country to put back beer
in order to prevent general exodus
from taking place.
Officials in Kenosha who were in
formed Of the threat were not greatly
worried regarding it. "Let them go
back" declared one of these. "Those
who return will probably be better
in the old country both for themselves
and for us."/
Suggest Use in Other Way.
It was also suggested that the club
which the aliens threaten to use in
this way may be also used to force
industrial measures which they desire.
These game people intimated that some
of these foreigners were planning to
Join in a movement to demand the set
ting of wage for two years for com
mon ldDOE anu OESdnlAS ehiA 1oACA5A ~
workmen to agree to return to Europe
in the event this wage could not be
promised for at least two, years .4eu
The aliens have not gone far enough
in their calculations to provide means
for transporting a large exodus of
aliens or of preventing their places
from being taken by others now wait
ing to enter the land of opportunity.
Many Pooh-Pooh Idea.
Other leaders of foreign elements
of the city pooh-poohed the idea.
These declared that if some of the
aliens were intending to return to
Europe because the prohibition laws
were not to their liking, this number
was very much in the minority and
that the great majority of the foreign
ers would laugh at the idea. They dis
tinctly stated that should such a move
ment gain any ground, the greater
number of the persons of foreign birth
would stand by the laws of their
adopted land and show that they are
not trying to "run the country which
has opened its opportunities to them"
