Only one prize was offered for gen.

she received the prize consisting Of a
ruby ring, so vivid was the dream that
the little one felt sure OF the honor,
ana in telling 1t to her teacher next
day. Miss Owings' heart was made sad

Of sorrow to her Eventually, by dint
of breaking struggle. she be-
comes noted prima donna. Regard
less of convention, she lives with the
man she loves until her minister-lover
returns. He forces her to renounce
the joys Of loving. After she has made
this supreme sacrifice she learns that
the minister is a hypocritc and that
her spiritual regeneration made her
blind to her true love-the man she
sent away.
"The Sirens Song" Is remarkable
drama, which offers Miss Bara exccp-
tional opportunity to exhibit her great
versatility.

The big expense of the plant is the
cost of the sisal. This is bought in
the open market, the product coming

federal government to prevent any
monopoly. Kansas paid S3S3i16S for

The state plant deals directly with

PAY PREACHERS MORE
That Is Plan of Methodist Churches
Thruout the Country.


Wichita, Kan. March 4.--The pace
set by such towns as White Cloud,
Kan, where the pastors salary was
a year, and Cimarron, Kan. where
the salary was boosted from $1,000 a
year to $1,000 a year, will be followed
by Methodist churches all over Amer
lea, according to plans of the leaders
of the Methodist centenary campaign.
The program calls for better
preachers and they are to get a living
wage.
Under the centenary plan even poor
rural communities can have good
preachers. Such ministers will in turn
bring in more funds and, the rural
churches will be enabled to support
them.
White Cloud, which is taken as an
example, has a Methodist church of
which Rev f. e. Beauchamp is pas
tor. His salary is $1,000 year.
When he first went to White Cloud
they paid him $675. When he went
there the benevolences were $500 a
year. Now the benevolences amount
to $500 a year BY putting good
has grown strong. The experiment
has more than paid it's cost.
At Cimarron Rev. C. e. Brown went
to the place three years ago at a
salary of 1000 a year. This year he
gets co per cent more than in former
years. The Methodist centenary plans
to provide the little churches with
better preachers and at the same time
make the little churches like the plan
SO well they will soon be willing to
pay a living wage.
