1t is Contributory System where
by upon the payment by the parish
each year of an additional seven per
cent speaking roughly of the minis
ter's salary, he will receive on retir-
ing at 6S, pension equal to one-half
his average salary during his active
service. At death, his widow and min
or children will receive annual pen
sions; If disabled in active service, a
pension follows:
Thus in the full tide of active SER
vice he can throw himself into his
work with the complete abandonment
of an officer who knows that whatever
happens to him, his dear ones will be
cared for, and he, is living to old age,
will go to his grave with dignity and
self-respect.
In order to take care of those who
should be pensioned Immediately, and
to give the contributory plan time to
move permanently on it's own wheels,
an initial sum of $5,0OOOOO is to be
raised.
To direct the task of obtaining this
reserve fund, Bishop Lawrence of
Massachusetts will, during 1916, sus-
pend active work in his own diocese
and devote himself wholly to this
great enterprise.
The cooperation of leading life in
surance officers and business men has
been obtained to establish the scheme.
Local committees will be appointed
throughout the United tSates. To get
this splendid undertaking on its feet
will be the supreme task of the Epis.
opal Church in 1916.

THE LIFE OF A DOLLAR BILL
(New York World)

A statistician who hangs around the
national strong-box figures out that
the average life of dollar bill is three
weeks, but he doesn't reveal the Sc
cret of this prodigious prolongation
of life
The dollar bills with which most of
us are familiar expire in a few min
utes, or at best few hours. Compared
with the average dollar bill the morn
ing glory is marvel of longevity. The
tender infant-maybe that's why it's
called legal tender-h hardly comes in
to your hands ere it becomes an adult
and almost before you know it the
blasted and withered veteran has pass
ed to the bourne of memory. We
mourn many Sweet William which,
for its tender brief existence, might be
said to have perished at birth, and
many another whose untimely end In
the morning of life caused bitter grief
A statistician who could show us
how to keep dollar bill alive three
weeks at time like this, when the
mortality is so heavy, generally speak
ing, would earn the gratitude and ad-
mlration of the community. A sta
tistician who could really keep dol
lar, dead or alive, for such a time
would tempt many of us to become
statisticians If possible. But the sad
truth Is that statlstician does 1t only
on paper.

Progress This Week.
Mobile, Ala, Feb. 14.-Operators
and organized miners of the west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois soft coal fields expect to make
considerable progress this week to-
ward negotiating an interstate wage
agreement to take the place of the
four state wage scales that expire
March 81. Some of the delegates be-
lieve an agreement will be worked
out, partly at least. before the end Of
the week.
The mine run demand already has
been rejected by the operators and a
vote will be taken on the remaining
ten, the operators probably going on
record as against all of them. The
mine owners are expected again to
offer to renew the present scales and
the miners, in turn, to go on record as
rejecting them. The whole matter OF
an agreement then will he submitted
to subcommittee, where the real con-
structive work of the conference will
begin, Operators say they do not
look for prolonged deadlock.

At the Novelty.
If you want to increase your fund
of knowledge stay away from the Nov
you want to laugh, if you want to for
stay until the last drop of the curtain,
for the laughs are in the last two acts.
The whole bill for the first half is
fair, but there are two outstanding
acts, put on by Hufford and Chain
and by Buch Brothers. The former
are referred to as two loose pages
from the book of fun" and one of the
pages is black. The imitation of the
old-fashioned negro preacher in ac-
ton is old, but Chain makes it new.
He puts in stunts that keep the audi
ence laughing constantly. Buch
Brothers are not only exceptional
acrobats, but they put across some real
comedy. The shorter Buch and his
beans constitute fully as 1aughable an
act as Chain and his preaching.
There are other acts on the bill,
Gene and Catharine King as comedy
songsters and the Gardner Dancing
Trio. They are good acts, too. But
in the laughter that follows the last
two acts they are somewhat forgotten.
The five-reel picture, Cyrus Town
send Bradys 1.-The Island of Surprise, -
is one of the best the Novelty has
shown this season. Among its other
interesting features is a hurricane
sweeping a South sea island.
