PROTESTANT PASTORS
TO RECEIVE PENSIONS

Practically all Protestant church
| es are making strenuous efforts to
| provide pensions for the worn-out
preachers and adequate care of the
widows and dependent orphans of
deceased ministers. The average sal
airy of the Protestant preachers is
barely $1,000. 1t is continually ask
ed: What is the average salary of
an American minister and why can
he not have sufficient money to take
care of himself and family in his old
age?" This salary conclusively proves
| that if the preacher were to save he
would rob himself and family of the
necessities of life, and cripple his
own efficient service as pastor and
preacher. The plan of the Methodist
| Episcopal church is to give every re-.
| tired minister $50 for every year of
active service. Thus, pastor who
has had forty years af active service
will receive $780, At the present time
the conferences pay as they are
able; some $40, some So, some IS
and some only S. for each year of ac-
tive service
| $4,000, 900 For Methodists
| The Methodist Episcopal church
has $12,000,000 of the fund for which
they are seeking, and has a total
membership of 4,233,941. 1t has &c.
$50 regular pastors in charge, 4;186,
766 Sunday school pupils, and 1885,
1923 Epworth League members. 1t
has 30,404 churches worth sos, 1885,
81 and 14,426 parsonages valued at
! $34,916,539. But it has much more -
| II has three thousand retired minis
ters-men who have broken their
health or given the dew of their life
widows of preachers and 500 depend
ent orphans
4 The contamination of this 1918
campaign fund for $2O,0O0,000 will
give retiring competency to every
| minister and adequate care of their
widows and dependent orphans.
/ The churches are showing an in
creased interest in their aged min
listers. 1t is shame that the church
should be the last great institution
to do justice to the veterans. Minis
tiers do the greatest good, make
more sacrifices and receive less mon
etary compensation of any class OF
men. Small salary makes saving foI
q rainy day impossible for the min
stry, hence the necessity of preach
ers' pensions.

mills by 10000 tons year are being
formulated by the war Industries board
and the shipping board, rs result OF

have been made upon the industry by

built on each way In year In some OF
the plants which have reached the
highest efficiency. Lack of steel. how
ever, would make such an usual feat
impossible.

that only three ships would be built on
each way during years time now

Big Movement of
Iowa Se1fctjues
to Begin Monday

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. July 90 Beginning
Monday of next week the largest quota
of drafted men sent to camp from this
state since the war began will stay for
southern camps. In the five day period
1927 Iowa men will be sent to camp.
Many of the Iowa towns and cities
are planning big sendonfs for~their men
and programs in which the boys will
be honored guests will be carried out.
More than 1000 men will leave Des
Moines in this draft and Il reception in
their honor to speed them on their way
will be staged at the Coliseum or Audi
torium with band from Camp Dodge
to furnish the music From other cities
and towns over the state come reports
Of similar programs.
Men from central and southern Iowa
principally will be sent to Camp Pike,
Ark to the number of 1887. Men
from northern Iowa will go to Camp
Gordon. Ga, totaling 6,440. Some 300
men who have been indicted for spe-
cial training will be sent to Camp
Mabry,, Austin, Tex. where instruction
will be furnished them in the Univer-
sity of Texas.
Inasmuch as Camp Gordon is located
near Atlanta. which is known as an in
teresting and prosperous southern city,
many Of the cities manifested keen in
terest in the disposition of the troops
under this order. However. it was de-
termined largely on the question Of
railroad transportation, the authorities
sending the troops to those camps
which could be most conveniently
reached from their entraining points.
1t will require thirty eight trains to
move the Iowa troops with about 500
soldiers to a train. The Y. M. c. A.
organization is planning on sending a
secretary with each train. Ten of the
"Y" secretaries from Camp Dodge will
go and the personnel of the association
Representatives is now being deter
mined.
A call has been issued by Adjutant
General Logan to all draft boards to
send 1876 Iowa negroes to Camp Dodge
in a five-day period beginning Aug. l..
This will practically exhaust Glass l
coiored men. leaving only sixty in the
state. Negroes from Missouri have
been arriving at Camp Dodge the past
several days.

Charles Hollocher is the sensational
shortstop OF the Cubs and one of the
youthful wonders Of the Natl onal

swing a golf club from the right side.
Hollocher throws right handed. but in
