REPLACING THE SALOON REVENUE.

Referring to the loss Of saloon reven-

Journal suggests:
The easiest way for cities, which are

But the average good businessman

THE MINISTRY.

The ministry is a humble occupa-
ton which attracts large numbers OF
brilliant men who have no use for
money In any form. 1t Is ranked among
the skilled trades, but does not pay
overtime to any extent. The average
yearly compensation OF the ministry Is
S460.S5, but as every minister Is sup
posed. to be rewarded by his conscience
no complaint is made. 20
The most successful members OF the
ministry are those who have been
called. Some Of these calls are louder
and more distinct than others and re-
suit in entire satisfaction to the con-
gregatiOn, but there have been dis
heartening instances where men have
mistaken a call to the ministry for
something else and have retired hastily
from the pulpit to sell fire insurance.

The ministry offers great opportuni-
ties to young men and women who
want to do good and at the same time

can people have always been afraid to
trust the minister with real money, for
fear that it would corrupt him and
cause him to invest in war stocks and
gaudy neckties. This is why so many

the community and to suggest that
the most substantial and of course
expensive road is practicable and
within the means OF the public to be
taxed for it's support When he first
venfured upon the subject 1t can not
be said that he had opposition. The
idea OF permanent roads considering
the high cost Of their construction was
so apparently uuixotic that Mr.. Norris.
serious enough himself was not taken
seriously. But about the time he be-
gan talking good roads there came
along two advocates whose service was

many years have passed since the
various agencies mentioned and others
have operated on public sentiment
We have Yet few highways in the
sense that the purpose in its final
senFe will mean. but there has been
marked improvement. and in nothing
is the improvement so marked as in
the change Of sentiment few days
ago there was reported Movement
among the farmers between Des
Moines and Ames to build a hard sur
faced roadway between those two
cities. Other reports from other Sec
lions indicate the same temper.
Whether these enterprises are carried
thru at once and with the road laws
in their present state does not make
a great deal OF difference. They will
sooner or later be realized. Such
ideas do not generally travel far in ad-
vance OF the fact. Indeed. there is not
now probably as wide a distance be-
tween the main thorouehfares ard

was between the road as It existed
when Mr.. Norris began to six up the
importance OF its betterment and the
general use OF the King Tag. which
was the first big step toward improve

and the result is that the minister now
rides in an automobile whenever the
envelopes come In fast enough to buy
gasolene. The envelope system has
raised the ministry from penury to
affluence and enabled many a minis
ters wife to dress like human being.
The ministry does not look for its re-
ward in this life, but Is sometimes sur
prised by the size OF the marriage fee.
