.HAMON NJ AY HAVE
PASSED The CRISIS
A Nd soon RECOVER
FROM HIS WOUNDING {
INJURED MAN FEELS MORE
HOPEFUL AND Is, THERE
BETTER ENABLED FOR
FIGHT FOR LIFE

A report from the Hardy Hospital
this morning states that Jake L..
Hamon took a turn for the better last
night, at 10 o'clock. He rested well
during the night and remains clear
of fever. lie is more cheerful and
hopeful, and his physicians believe
that he has passed the crisis and that
he will be up as soon az the wound
has time to heal. Mr.. Hamon IS a
man who enjoys unusual health and
he had stored away vast amount
Of vitality to draw from in this emer-
gency.
on account of Mr.. lannon's connec-
ton with politics, an, unusual amount
OF iHtefest has been taken in his case
and there has been much eXaggeration
and there has been more or less ex-
element created.
Staff men from n number Of met
ropohtan papers have been sent here
TO cover the case. They have not
round anything more than has been
reported from day to day in the col
umns of this paper. Some big stories
have been placed on the wire. but
their foundation has been found in
the prominence Of the injured man
and are based upon the excitement
that exists, and in the desire to find
something sensational when there is
nothing to find that can in any way
be substantiated with creditable evi-
dence. =

Mr.. Ford also announced q forth

anteed six per cent. He added that
eight per cent had been paid July
81, last, making a total Of Il per cent
on the certificates Of 1920.
Mr.. Fords statement was made.
il was said, to correct what he said
was an erroneous statement made
by S. S. Marquis. direc.or Of the
Ford education department, before
Judge Alschuler in Chicago, yester-
day, to the effect that the recent re-
ductlons in the price OF Ford cars
had resulted in the bonus to employees
being practically cut off.
The statement that 5000 mon Of
the Detroit force had quit work.
within the last 90 days, was correct,
it was said at the executive offices
OF the company here, but the men
had left voluntarily. and increased
production OF the remaining employees
had made 1t unnecessary to replace
them.

FAIR MEN MEET IN
CH|CAG CO OPPOS|N c
RAIL HOGG|SHNESS

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Fair men from
all over the country will meet here
December 3, TO protest against pro-
posed increase in railroad rates which
would double the expense of exhibit
ors.
George w. Dickinson, OF Detroit,
president Of the Internal ional Associa-
ton of Fairs and EXpositions, has
received notice that the railroads
propnse 10 do away with the sched-
ule which allows exhibitors at fairs
q one-way rate for the round trip,
of their products, from the farm
10 fair and back 20 the farm. This
rate has been allowed by the rail-
roads," said Mr.. Dickinson, ITO stimu-
late interest In fairs which have been
recognized az valuable factors In
building up the country" Even dur
ing war time, the one-way schedule
was allowed to remain In force.
Mr.. Dickinson declared that the
proposed change In rate would not
only mean financial loss TO the fairs
themselves. but would impose q hard
ship on exhibitors OF moderate means
and probably mean that many high
class animals and farm products
would not be shown.
The fair men Will also elect Off
GERS and make general plans for en-
larging and improving fairs the coun-
try over.

Boston, Mass, Nov 24--I.ow SAL
aries for ministers OF the gospel have
reduced their number to an ineffic-
lent minimum, according TO q report
submitted to the council of the boards
OF benevolcncc of the Methodist Fps
copal church. The report came from
Or. Joseph b. Hingeley, chairman OF
the board of conference claimants,
the organization which has had charge
Of raising the pension funds of the
church.
Inadequate salaries and the result
ant hardships have caused among
ministers physical disability and men,
tai poverty, forced clergymen to take
up "side lines" in order to make a
livelihood or else driven competent
men from the profession and have kept
from the work the best equipped
and most intelligent youth according
to the report. Discussing the dearth
OF ministers the report said:
I'm one denomination 1888 con-
gregations did not have regular pas
toral care. In another there were 99i
fewer ministers than in 1914. A de-
nomination having 963 congregations
had only G97 settled pastors and an
other reports an average net gain Of
25,6SO members, but Of only "a mn
isters"
The report gave a comparative list
of average salaries paid by various
denominations, but said the figures
were misleading because the larger
salaries make the average maximum
amount for the most of them"
According to these figures the Pro-
testant Eps scopal church pays an av-

The report said that the federal
