GEORGE w. WIcKERSHAM
Former Attorney-General of tho
United States.

George w. Wickersham, former
Attorney General of the United
States, is actively enlisted in the Ma
tion-Wide Campaign of the Episco-
pal Church which is being waged for
a more practical, efficient religion.
Discussing the awakening of tho
people, as one of the outcomes OF
the world war, and of their dawnintt
consciousness of power and inf1u-
ence in shaping the worlds affairs.
Mr.. Wickersham says:
ut is distinctly church function
to lead in this. The politicians can't
do it. 1t isn't situation in which
partisan passion should play ann
part. 1t is a human problem, and
the part which the church must plalr
is that of getting down to a human
basis in its relations with men and
women and approaching them not
only from their spiritual, but from
their material side as we'll.
"We have had too much religion
that goes over the heads of the peo-
pie. We haven't been practical and
we haven't been efficient. The re-
hgion of the new era must recognize
anu dQfOAdlC liiat anu WHICH
are rational human beings, entitled
to fair and adequate compensation
for their toll, and the blessings Of
light, air, sunshine, flowers: ample
hours in which to enjoy all these
and stimulating amusements. That
is at once good economics and good
religion. 1t is religion that makes
for efficiency, and religion that s
human, and practical"
This increasing of the human,
practical and efficient side of ~
ligion is one of the big problems to
be tackled by the Episcopal Church
in its Nationwide Campaign to III
crease at home and abroad its r,i-
ligious, educational, hospital and
social service work. After an nj
tensive educational campaign will
come an every member canvass slf
communicates of the Episcopal
Church on December for funds 10
the amount of more than $42, 600, otI0
and for 1900 additional church
workers.

maculate Conception as the pricipal

COLD WEATHER CAUSES
DEMAND FOR OYSTERS

Cold weather and the holiday sea
sons have increased the demand for
oysters so much that local packers
declare that il is much greater than
the supply, despite the fact that oys-
ter shipments into Baltimore from
points in the Chesa peake Bay have
greatly increased over last year.
This, some dealers say. is probably
caused by the increased cost OF other
commodities and the lower cost of
the oyster. The manager OF one of
the largest oyster packing houses
said recently that the wholesale price
OF oysters has shown an average de-
crease over last season of 10 cents on
the gallon.
Last season the owners OF oyster
beds in the Chesapeake Bay, who
supplied Baltimore with this prod
uct, had great difficulty in getting
men to operate the pungies and other
oyster boats. The big salaries they
weer forced to pay these men natur-
ally increased the cost OF the oyster
This season. however, labor is much
easier to get and salaries are not quite
SO high, which accounts for the lower
price.
Prices quoted by one packer yes
terday, who said that about 90 per
cent of the dealers in this state use
his list. showed that the best stand
ard oyster sold at wholesale for $3.50
the gallon. Extra select and what
are known as counts" are selling for
$40 and $3.50, respectively These
prices include packing and, in large
quantities, delivering.

CENSUS ENUMERATORS
TO GET HIGHER PAY

Increase of the rates of pay for
enumerators of the fourteenth decen-
NAL census to four cents for each
person enumerated and 80 cents for
each farm reported, was announced
by Director Sam l.. Rogers. Approx
mately $1,000 enumerators are af-
fected
The new rates are the maximum
authorized by law. Payment during
the last census was at the rate of 2
to cents per name and 20 cents per
farm The increase was necessary to
attract properly qualified men and
women, Mr. Rogers said.
Bnumerators will be paid 10 cents
for each barn or enclosure contain
ing live stock not on a farm. 80 cents
for each manufacturing establishment
enumerated. and so cents for each ir-
rigation or draining enterprise re-
ported.
with this increase of pay it is
hoped that all supervisors will be able
at once to supervise will be able at
once to complete the organization of
their forces, said Mr.. Rogers.
