The order applies chiefly to John F.

a two weeks fishing trip in northern

WAYNE SPUD CROP
TO Be VERY SHORT

Potatoes in Wayne county will only
average about half the usual crop this
year and the early potatoes only
amounted to about one-fourth of the
average crop.
Late potatoes will be a little better
and it is thought that the total will
reach the half way mark, says Walter
Ratliff.
Early potatoes require moisture and
this spring when they were maturing
a hot, dry spell caused them to run to
vines, and stopped the growth Of the
tubers. Farmers say that the potatoes
they have are large, and mealey po-
tatoes but there are only very few
to the hill.
OF course this shortage of potatoes
will cause the price of potatoes this
winter to be high. Northwestern In
diana which is large potato growing
section, also reports a short crop.

few APPLICANTS
FOR MINISTRY; H.C.L.
and Low PAY CAUSE

High costs of living and the war
are directly responsible for an ever
growing shortage of ministers, accord
ing to the Rev. Somerville Light, dis
trict superintendent of the Methodist
church, Richmond district.
The war caused a large number of
men that were in the ministry, to
leave their pulpits to enter the service
.either in the Y. M. G. A, the Red
Gross or as chaplains, and a large
number Of these have not returned"
the Rev. Light said.
"Then, too, the theological schools
and colleges were drained OF young
men who were preparing for the min
istry, but who went into military serv-
ice when war was declared.
"A number of these young men have
not yet returned from the service, and
those that have returned to school are
just now getting settled into the COM
p!etion Of their preparation. Thus our
supply was cut off for almost two
r, aars from the colleges and schools.
see highly commercial attitude
In by many during the war also
.enleted the ranks Of the ministry
Wien calls came for men TO take
hlEhly lucrative positions. a number
~ men left the pulpit for more re-
munerative work.
Gould Not Support Selves
Here too, the cost Of living comes
in. With the ever increasing cost OF
living, ministers became unable to
support themselves on their salaries
and as a result were forced to seek
other employment in order to main
tain their homes.
81 believe however, that with the re-
turn of normal conditions and the re-
duction in the cost of living, will re-
lieve the present condition. and that
ministers will be able to return to
their pulpits as before the war"
In speaking of the shortage, the
Rev. Light said that only recently he
had been forced to send all the way
to Florida to get minister to fill one
Of the pulpits in his district.
This is thing that had never been
done in the district before. he said
but the shortage of ministers made
the step necessary.
