Methodist Pastors to Get Salary
Raise.

Many Methodist ministers in
every Southern and Western state
who have been trying to exist on in
Intestinal incomes during the past
years will have their salaries raised
within the next few months This
very practical and definite step Is to
be taken by the Methodist Episco-
pal Church. South. following the
financial drive of that denomination
in April. The drive, which has
$35 100000 as its goal, has been
undertaken with a view to putting
the work of the church on busi-
ness basis. the raising of the sala-
ries of their underpaid pastors being
considered one of the first matters
of Importance.
There are S66 salaries now $400
or less which will be raised to 5000;
4S5 salaries now $400 and $500
which will be raised to 5000; 5SS
salaries from 5000 and 500 which
will be raised to 81 900 a year; 637
salaries from 500 to $500 to be
raised to 81 900; and $50 salaries
ranging from $500 to 5000 which
will also be raised to $1,000 The
supplementing of these salaries will
require 50 $1,000 during the forth
coming five years and the success
of he Centenary drive will make
their increase Immediately possible.
Practically every city and town
throughout the length and breadth
of Southern Methodism will be af-
fected it is declared ut the head
quarters of the denomination in
Nashville, and every Methodist man
and woman who pulls to on the
Centenary drive will be helping to
make possible better and happier
living conditions for the underpaid
pastors in their midst.

2-Cent Postage Again. Three
Cent Stamp Will Pass From
Existence on July I.

A least one of the war taxes OF
the government on the citizens dur
ing war times will he ousted during
19I9-the- three-cent postage stamp.
After two years of service 10 its
country in bringing in thousands OF
dollars in revenue. it Will give way
on July l to the old and trusted two
center on out-of-town letters.
On July /. 1917, the three-cent
stamp went into office. making it
necessary to use it in place of the
regular two-cent stamp, which had
been in vogue for nearly 40 years.
1t was as a war measure to help de-
feat the Huns
On Feb "a. 1919. Congress passed
a repeating act. throwing the post
age system back on its pre-war ba-
sis. After that date it will take
only two cents to send a letter out
of town and one cent for post cards.
1t is advisable that local business
concerns use up a. quickly a. possi-
BILE their supply of three-centers and
not to purchase more than enough
to run them until July l. as they
cannot be exchanged.

Market Protection.

The Government recognizes the
need for market for Liberty Bonds
1t recognizes the fact that in some
instances misfortune has oyertaken
the one who has made an invest
ment in good faith, spurred on by
patriotic motives, and that he must
convert his holdings into cash for
present use.
For these persons the Govern
ment wishes the bond holders to
know that the Liberty Bonds have a
we'll defined market value. The
New York Stock Exchange makes
this price. That is the price that
rules in all centers, and that fixes

cities there are reputable dealers
who pay the market price. The
banks know the ruling prices, and
they will gladly give the public the
market quotations.
1t is to check this illicit and dis
honest dealing in bonds that the
Government is sending this warn

Other Reasons Assigned for
the Move.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

New York. Jan Shipment Of all
classes of freight, and particularly food
stuffs intended for American troops abroad
and Europe's starving people, was en-
! hargocd from other parts OF the country
through the ports of Boston, Philadelphia
and New York, for export, by order Of the
| Federal Food Administration today.
food and supplies are accumulated on
the piers of New York To such an extent
that il is impossible for IT TO be handled
or for cargo space 10 be provided for its
transportation abroad Similar con-
ditions are declared To exist in Boston and
Philadelphia. with the situation becoming
more serious.
Three principal causes are assigned.
One is the strike Of freight handlers, which
was reported to bc spreading today.
Another was a disposition on the part ot
ship owners to put their vessels IN drvdOck
upon being relieved from the war strain,
instead Of continuing the ships in trade.
Still another was the holiday season, with
consequent decrease in labor facilities re-
gardless Of existing strike conditions
REPRESENTATIVES Of the Railroad Ad-
minstration, Federal Food AdmInistTa-
tion, steamship lines and the army and
navy were In conference here, today. to
Z
1t was indicated an announcement
would be issued this afternoon.
Regarding the ship situation. it was
declared that vessels for use 10y the Food
Administration had not become available
in the onnage that had been expected,
and that other vessels expected to arrive
in New York. Boston and Philadelphia
to carry shipments across the Atlantic
had been DELAYED bV storms
The emba go began yesterday on ship
ments from interior points to New York
over the New York Central Railroad.
due TO the strike by freight handlers.
This labor trouble was largely on the New
Jersey side Of the port, but today its
scope broadened and virtually every
pier here was affected from which freight
is loaded for export. This freight reaches
New York over nearly every railroad
In the North Atlantic rail traffic division.
The freight handlers have been re-
ceiving II cents an hour for a 10 hour
paw. Their demand nowis 30 cents an hour
for an cight-honr dav, with time and a
half-overtime pay for the ninth and
tenth hours.
