CREEPER EEE EEE EEE EE EEE: + * BLACK STAMPS WITH 4 LIKENESS OF PRESIDENT 15.— ge > or * * Washington, Aug. Announcement of this was by Postmaster- following a con- a ——— “Covér Up’ Marquette, Mich. August 21.—Girl resorters at Lake Michigan, off above the knees and rolled stock- as a regulation vacation cos- tume, leaving considerable portions the musical comedy stage, ministered a Stinging rebuke to-day by Mrs. Henry Ford. « 4 Mrs. Fo! who is accompanying her husband, Thomas ©. Edison and i . Harvey Firestone om a vacation trip through the upper pen- insula, stopped to-day on the shore of Lake Michigamme for lunch. Immediately hér car was surround- ed by Michigamme residents’ and summer colonists; prominent among the latter being the scantily-clad young women, several score in num- be r. All requested that Mrs. Ford write in their autograph books, and after complying with their wishes the wife of the motor king was confronted by one of the bare-kneed summer nymphs. “ The smile that had been on Mrs. Ford’s lips froze as her gaze travel- led over the girl standing before her and then rested on others of the cir- cle immediately behind. Where ever the shocked wife of the magnate looked she saw bare-armed and bare- legged girls, laughing and shaking their bobbed locks to thé sunshine and breeze. ' Mrs. Ford replaced her fountain pen, and handing back the autograph book she uttered this rebuke: “You women and girls are showing very poor faste and worse judgment in coming into this town garbed as you are, without skirts or dresses and showing your bare limbs as you are. I do not wish to sign my name for you and I prefer not to look at you.” One of the campers told Mrs. Ford that Michigamme jwas a small town, and they thought they could do as they liked. “Yes, Michigamme is small, and that’s all the more reason why you should dress properly and not set a bad example for the young people,” was Mrs. Ford’s answer. Mrs. Ford’s rebuke was applaud- ed by the towngpeople—that is, the permanent residen for .there is widespread resentment among them against the habit. of ‘city tourists strutting the streets in such fashion. « a WEEKLY PAPER OFFERS WONDERFUL SERVICE effort on the part. of th who advertises in space, but having done this, all the rest of the matter of getting this message: of the hardware dealer distributed is the business of the ne paper publisher. The local newspaper renders local merchants a wonderful service, and this at an a surdly small cost. It means that from three to five families can be solicit- ed for a single brown cent; and at a five-cent piece for the solicitation of from 15 to 25 families, What cheap-: er solicitation is possible or desired. Many a hardware dealer has ent a dollar weekly to solicit the favour of some young lady in whose affection he would have a high place. He has spent a dollar or more weekly—per- haps a longer period—to ave the favour of a single individual; yet has -baulk- ed af spending an equal sum to solicit the favour of 1,- 000 or more families whose business would quickly turn to him the cost of sol- icitation. One wonders why men in the retail business neglect the solicita- tion of 1,000 or 2,000 com- ‘munity families by the agency of newspaper advertising. 4 *, +} 7? PEER EEE EE EERE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE TEE EEE EEE EER EEERE EES THREES PEELE EE EEE EEPEEEPEE EEE + Fund For Wallace Farmer Defends Superannuation “Worn Out” Ministers In the Canadian Countryman we notice the following item of local interest, written by Mr. E. L. .Robin- son of Wallace, in answer to an at- tack on the superannuation fund for ministers: , I have ‘been « subscriber to the “Countryman” for several years and like it very much. In every issue there are articles which are worth more than the subscription price for the year. In Practical Discussions there are some splendid things but there are also some things to which I take exception; for instance, in the issue of April 21, ‘‘Middlesex Farm- er’ rightly criticises a teacher in the Normal School for his statements on growing clover seed, but when he trains his guns on ministers’ salaries and the superannuation fund I am inclined to think that in church af- fairs he is not any better posted than the Normal teacher was in: growing clover ‘seed. In my experience in church work I have found that those who are tha most ready to criticise are the smal lest contributors and the least ready to help to improve conditions. Now I would like to inform my friend, Brother Farmer, that in most churches the Quarterly Official Board consists of from fifteen to twenty or more members. These are generally’ the best men available. At the fourth meeting of the Board they are asked to elect one of their num- ber as a delegate to the annual dis- trict meeting and to the annual con- ference. This is generally the best man available also. In the annual conference, once in each four years. the ministers are askéd to elect min- isterial delegates to the General Con- ference in the proportion of one del- egate for each twenty-ministers, and the laymen to elect the same num- ber of lay delegates, so that the Gen- eral Conference ,is made up of equal number of ministers and lay- men, and these are generally the bes! men available, ayd any legislation q| enacted has been\considered as be- ing in the best interests of the church in general. Now I am sure that if Brother Farmer would look into the . matter thoroughly he would soon come tr the conclusion that the superannua tion fund is most worthy and should If the ministers always received their sal aries in full there would be less need for.the superannuation, and if Bro ther Farmer Will look over the 192) year book he will see that in the London Conference (with simijar conditions in other Conferences,) there were twenty-three circuits which did not pay the full salary, and fifteen of these had a deficit of from about $200 to over $600. In the year 1922 there were twenty-six circuits with deficits totalling near: ly $6,000. Of course, an made to have these deficits squared up by the sustentation fund, but it is not always done. In my estimation, when you con sider an expensive education, minie- ters are the lowest salaried men we have, and some whom I know hav® before they received as good a salary as they received when they served in the business world... ‘ I also notice that the people whr salaries ERESEESEOEEED EEE EE TET ES served the Church for twenty yoars| w salaries Bave increased only sevent; per cent. in the same time. In Mal. 8:8 we read: “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. ut ye say, wherin have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” The tithe is the Lord’s now just as much as it ever was. I would like to ask Brother Farmer whether the thought ver occurred to him that if ten families would tithe and give thea whole of it towards salary the minis- ter would have as good a living’ as the average of the ten families. If ten more families would tithe and give the whole of it to missions thay could almost support a missionary. and if this system were generally practised there would never he anr deficits in ministers’ saluries or for missionary boards to contend with. In conelusion, let me point out that the ministers who receive the larg« salaries pay as much into the super annuation fund as they can ever get out of it, and the amount which the circuits are asked to pay goes make up the allowances for tfe min isters who receive the smaller salar fes. Railroad companies, banks and other corporations pension off their old employees. Why should not the Church take care of the old worn on! ministers? E. L. ROBINSON. Perth Co. RRL RhhAhha ahhh han enene THE GOOD HOUSEWIFE + ert + Soe aac sae Sac aie Sa She Sk ee aS Se a (Written for The Banner) A quaint philosopher recently said: “It is said by one who is in every way qualified to speak on the subject,.that the reason thousands of girls never get miarri is, at some time or other they've expres- sed themselves as bein’bitterly op- posed to housework.”* ; Of course, it is only the foolish, sappily sentimental girl or the one who makes grotesque effort to be ultra-mannish, who says such things. Unfortunately, there are too many of both varieties. e wise mother teaches her girls to cook, to buy for the honse and to run it smoothly and economically, not so much for a career in life as a protection. They may not have to do these things, but they should know when they are well done. This is an age of quick shifts: riches come over night; ‘and so girl who starts her domestic with no maid-at all, or a mild apol- ogy for one in the shape of a little inexperienced girl, may end with a housekeeper, a French chef and a retinue of other servants. Then is the time for her mother’s teachings to show their value. Wives of the foreign diplomats who come here cannot understand the devotion of the wealthy and dis- tinguished women ~to. their own homes. They are astonished that the wives of men high in the admin- istration of affairs of state and oth- er prominent women, should keep trained eyes on the houserkeepers med meee giving and taking coun- complishmen an standing of politics, both and direct. * ; cae Fifty Years in a Rev...
