DIR. TELFORD DECLINES
RAISE IN SALARY
Popular Presbyterian Pastor Suggests
Money Be Added To Fund To
Build New Church.

Quite an interesting event occurred
at the services in the First Presby-
terian Church Sunday morning, just
before DIR. Telford delivered his SER
mon. The deacons in an Every Mem
ber canvass several days ago, had
asked the members to increase their
subscriptions for the year in order
that a substantial raise in salary
could be given to DR.. Telford. The
task was an easy one, and every mem
ber responded literally, realizing the
true worth of such a splendid man.
The surprising event came when in
making announcements of the week
DR.. Telford thanked the deacons and
members most graciously for the re-
muneration, but stated that he felt al
this time he could not accept it.
The Presbyterians are working dill.
gently trying to reach the goal in
order that new structure may be
built in which to worship, and the
members, deacons and elders have
been cooperating their efforts n az
unusual manner in order to accom-
plish this much needed structure
However, what has put more vim and
life into the situation was made
when DR.. Telford suggested that in.
stead Of accepting the raise of several
hundred dollars on the year, that this
money be put into the building sink.
ing fund, and this showed beyond q
doubt the support and interest of the
pastor in the matter of a new church
DIR. Telford has not been here fol
many years but he has won the hearts
of the entire community. No man il
Richmond has done more in elevat.
ing the stress of the poor of this city
than he, and he again proves his lib
erality when he turns over a substan.
tial raise in salary to the building
which will put new life into the church
worship in Richmond.

MARRIAGE GOOD
After Three Years, Common Law
Wife Brings Husband Around
+. To Wedding Ceremony.

After a three-year trial-marriage
an Omaha couple have been united
by real church wedding, though
it took a divorce suit by his com
mon law wife to bring John Blum.
a wealthy ranchman, before the
preacher.
A little more than three years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Blum first met.
and after a few weeks acquaint-
ance decided to join lots for life.
But here came the first hitch Blum
saw no need of a church or legal
wedding. He figured he could put
the ring on the finger of the wom-
an he wanted without any aid of
minister or justice of the peace.
His fiancee didn't see it this way.
but finally she was persuaded to
become a common law wife. with
the understanding that a church
wedding should follow. should she
desire it later. Blum's views did
not change with the years. and
neither did those of his wife. So
a few days ago she sued him for
divorce.
I'VE got along happily together"
the wife said. but ] found I could
not uproot his antagonism toward
a church ceremony Our trial
marriage had been a success, but

CALL ELECTION
ON ANNEXATION
OF new TRACT
Incorporation OF $50 Acres of South
Rock Island to Be Voted on
by Property Owners.

A special meeting of the munich
pal body was held this afternoon.
beginning at 2 O'Clock. for the pur-
pose of considering plans for an
election for the annexation of $50
acres of land north Of Thirty-frst
avenue
Annexation of this property has
been under consideration for some
time. Efforts nave been made dur
ing the last few days by Mayor H.
NJ Schriver to convince the owners
of the property affected as to just
what benefit the annexation would
mean to the city.
Some had been holding out
against the proposition on account
of the taxes which would be as
sessed on the property by the city.
Mayor Schriver has explained to
many that the tax in property
would be overbalanced by the rise
in value of the real estate after
the. property is taken il.
Vote in so Days.
The municipal body believes the
majority are nov in favor of the
issue. A special election will be
called to take vote on the annex
alton
Mayor II. NJ. Schriver said today
that he believes the election will
carry the annexation OF the prop
erty.
The election probably will be
called within the next 80 days, ac-
cording to Mayor Schriver.
