SHORTAGE IN MINISTERS
SCARCITY SAID TO EXIST IN THIS
FIELD.
AFFECTS NORTHERN NEBRASKA

Il is Said That Ministerial Salaries
Have Not Kept Pace With the Uplift
In Prices-settlement Work Calls
Many Young Men Now.
There is shortage OF ministers in
north Nebraska. The same conditions
seem to be general over the west.
1t is not surprising that the general
scarcity of all kinds of labor, skilled
and unskilled, has proved to be the
result of conditions that also affect
ministerial circles.
The Methodist church Is among the
most prosperous Of the church denom-
nations in north Nebraska and yet
even its elders have to exercise their
wits at times to keep all the pulpits
supplied. In the Neigh district Of
which Rev. Thomas Bithell of Norfolk
is presiding elder there have been two
pastorless charges, churches furnish
ing parsonages and paying salaries Of
$500 and $500.
In other protestant churches than
the Methodist there has been even
more difficulty in securing pastors.
Two Norfolk churches have been with
out pastors for several months and
have either taken or are just taking
steps to remedy their condition.
Why the shortage?
Norfolk churchmen don't put any
stock in the opinion that there is a
modern tendency away from things
spiritual or that the ministry no long
er attracts.
In explaining the shortage two con-
ditions are pointed out: first, that the
ministerial salary hasn't kept pace
with recent tendencies and second
that settlement, Y. M. c. A. and other
forms of work closely allied with the
ministry Is drawing the services of
men who would otherwise be preach
ers.
North Nebraska is paying her minis
ters more than she did in the lean
years Of the nineties, but 1t is said that
the Increase in salaries hasn't been
uniform and hasn't kept pace with the
upward swing Of prices.
Churches in the northwest are pros
porous.
The Methodist church over north
Nebraska was, according to the recent
word Of one Of its officials, as sound
as the banks Of the section.
The proverbial church debt isn't"
Churches have freed themselves OF
the debts left over from the hard
years and they haven't incurred new
ones when building. The lesson of
the eighties Is said to have been
learned and even in these times of
plenty and bright prospects the f1nanc-
es Of the churches are cash finances.
The churches Of north Nebraska
have ceased to build on the future
But they still build. Over at Albion
the Methodists expect to have a $780,
600 church completed by Christmas.
But no debts. John Hermann of Nor
folk Is building 1t.
The attitude of the churches Is said
to be typical of the different attitude
that the west has taken in the recent
years of plenty compared with it's
course during the prosperity and
booms of the later eighties.

THEY TOOK MAYOR'SBUGGY
ONE OF THE HALLOWEEN
FRANKS IN NORFOLK.
NOTHING BAD WAS DONE HERE

Halloween is Still on the Calendar
But II Isn't Nearly SO Bad as Once
II Was Progress Has lnterfered
With Old Franks.
The lines of municIpaI authority
faded in the mist OF Halloween night
aud the mayors buggy was run of
with the rest. The mayors Halloween
police notice may have kept some of
the boys within limits but 1t didn't
keep his own buggy In the barn. How.
ever, Mayor Durland rounded up his
property In the morning with smile
because he was thankful that they
hadn't taken the barn with the buggy
Halloween Is still on the calendar
but IL isn't nearly as bad as 1t used to
be when Norfolk business men were
young The episodes that Norfolk av.
enue business men shamelessly culled
out of the memories of their youth
Friday morning would have brought
down the undying wrath of Chief Flynn
in 1907.
But 1t isn't the small boy who is
ing else that Is pushing the old time
Halloween spirit aside in Norfolk.
What would the old Halloween have
been without board sidewalks to tip
over, wooden crossings to demolish,
gates to steal, fences to upheave and
loose wagons to make away with? But
the cement sidewalk and crossing is
making the day of boards little more
than memory. Property owners them
selves have taken down the fences.
Buggies are locked in substantial
barns.
There was no serious volume of
complaint registered against Hallow-
cen the morning after. There was
something less than usual Of harmless
Halloween frolic on account of the
weather. In some instances the line
of harmless" amusement was passed
and private property rights abused.
The complaints, however, were not
general.
In one or two cases damage was re-
ported to cement walks and these in
stances may be followed up by the
police. News that a few board walks
had been tossed over was received
without noticeable agitation on the
part of the street department, which
has been on a cement walk campaign
for some time.
There was "scrubbing bee" along
Norfolk avenue when daylight dis
closed a general array of soaped win
dows.
Special police service was main
tained Thursday evening but no ar
rests of a Halloween nature were re-
corded.
In social way Halloween parties
were largely informal gatherings. Hal
lowe'en and the special opportunities
that Halloween decorations and party
ideas afford were not neglected for
there were many informal parties
about the city.

A Great Roast!

Over ton of Arbucl<les' Ariosa
Coffee is roasted ar a time, ii, large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi-
Gent demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepare
ton.
The sales of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni.
tude, reduces our cost to a minimum.
and enables us, with our other advant-
ages, to give better value in Arbuckles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
