PASTOR APPEALS
FOR PENSION FUND
DR.. H. F. Randolph Urges
Methodists to Support
the Movement
TO INVEST MONEY
IN LIBERTY BONDS

Dr.. Herbert F. Randolph, pastor Of
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, has
Issued the following statement regard
Ing the campaign for 100000 for
preachers pensions In the Wilmington
Conference:
THE justice OF the plan OF provld-
ing for the retired ministers and
widows appeals to every Christian. and
comes with special force to every mem
Der OF the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which calls on its ministers for ser
vice and sacrifices to a larger degree
perhaps than any other Christian or
ganization. The appeal TO provide for
the aged ministers flts in well with ap-
peals based on social justice, which
have been generally recognized by com
munitles at large and by thousands OF
transportation, Industrial, financial and
other organizations, which provide old
age pensions for their employees on a
liberal basis. In these days which call
for heroic service in the army and
navy, the nation. by pension systems,
allotments and insurance, seeks TO rec
ognize the services OF the brave men
OF the army and navy. Surely the
Church. which has been responsible
more than any other institution for
the injection OF high ideals into the
national life, will not be content to
have less regard for its aged ministers
than American institutions.

Conference is as follows.

AN APPRECIATION.

To some men it is given to finish their course and do the
work in life that they have mapped out for themselves, while
others must drop out before their race can be said to have
properly started. One of the latter was Faris V. Bush, the
editor of The Western Liberal of Lordsburg, who succumb-
ed to pneumonia at his home last Saturday. Three years
ago he took over the Liberal and started on a campaign of
constructive boosting for the development of the town and
country where he had made his home, and though he was
only a mere boy of little over twenty years old he had come
to be considered as one of the coming men of the state and
as an asset to the community in which he lived. 1t cost a
great amount of work to accomplish the results that Faris
V. Bush has placed to his credit, and ne never was a very
strong man. What he accomplished was done mainly by
sheer will power, more than physical labor, and the strain
told on him. Only a few weeks ago he assumed an even
greater burden when his uncle, Frederick A. Bush of Silver
City, died and left him as administrator of the estate and
as guardian of his two boys. Faris Bush did not hesitate a
moment about accepting the added responsibility. His main
anxiety, in fact, was to manage the estate in such a manner
that it would provide for the orphans who had been left in
his care, and he was just getting the business into the shape
he wanted when the call came to him and he had to lay
his burden down, leaving the completion of his work to
someone else.
On the Headlight we knew Faris V. Bush intimately
and we liked him for his many manly characteristics. In
spite of his many business cares and of his delicate health,
he was always cheerful, always optimistic, and always
planning for the future and the good that lay in his power
to do. His going leaves a blank in our lives and an example
for us to follow. For if one, in the short span that was al
lotted Fars Bush, can teach others the joy TO be found in
honest work and accomplishment and patience in the face
of suffering. as he did, the life of such a one has not been
lived in vain. -Deming Headlight.

THE GAME is ON

At this time of year the base
ball season opens. President
Wilson usually losses the first
ball across the plate that opens
up the pennant race for national
baseball.
But this year President Will
son steps into the box and losses
over the Third Liberty Loan.
The crowd watching the game,
this time, is our allies in Europe,
and the pennant is the flag with
a star to wave over the city that
subscribes it's quota by May 4th.
Now Lordsburg and vicinity
are in the pennant race to win,
not only for the sake of the flag,
but for. our boys "over there. -
They need the money resultant
from the Third Liberty Loan
and we are going to give it to
them. For of all Of Germany's
heartless crimes, ours would be
far more brutal to send our boys
to fight and not furnish them
with the means to fight.
So let us get in the game. We
are in the ninth inning; want a
few pinch hitters' to step mp
to the plate and knock the ball
out for a home run; that is, sub
scribe enough bonds to make up
S25, 900 to complete our quota,
a mere triie to what we have
done. Every bond bought is a
home run for our team and a
swat at the barbarian hun. To
the plate there you pinch hit
ters." PLAY BALL!

FARIs v. BUSH DEAD

In the brief space of two weeks, The Independent is
called upon to record the death of another of its brother ed
itors, Faris Y. Bush, publisher of the Western Liberal at
%Lordsburg.
Assuming the e~ditorship of the Western Liberal about
three years ago, upon the death of Don L. Kedzie, Mr.. Bush
had brought the paper to the front by his ability and energy
until it ranked among the best weekly publications in New
Mexico.
Possessing a natural bent for the newspaper game, gain
ed through positions held on several big daiies, it was but
natural that Mr.. Bush should succeed at Lordsburg.
Besides being editor of the Western Liberal, he was
United States Commissioner there, prominently identified
with those activities looking to the growth and well being
of his home town, a director in the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and owner of considerable real property.
His friends throughout Grant county will mourn his de-
mise, coming as it did on the very threshold of a career Of
much promise. He possessed those qualities which COM
manded the respect and esteem of his fellow men.
The death of Faris Bush is a loss to Lordsburg and
Grant county. In this hour of grief we extend our sincere
and heartfelt coincidence to his widow, a bride of a year
Silver City Independent.
