Viii Build Homes
For Aged Ministers
BY ROY r. RIsLEY.

MAYFTELD, Ky, Nov. A. (Spl.) y
twenty five cottages, to be built or
purchased at an average cost of SIS,
600 each, with one located in each of
the 20 counties making up the Mem
phis conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, for the
homes of superannuated preachers,
is the program of the church adopt
ed Wednesday at the 81st annual
conference in session this week at
Mayfield.
The Rev. II. 3. johnson, of IIiclS-
man, KY, president of the board of
superannuated homes, presented to
the conference the recommendation
of the board, which embraces one of
the most advanced proposals for the
care and welfare of the aged and
disabled men of the church, who
have given the best, years of their
lives to the ministry, their widows
and orphans, that the church has
ever attempted.
1t is proposed to build five of these
homes each year for five years. Ac-
cording to the plans for financing
the undertaking, no one would be
asked to contribute more than 81 to
each home, or $40 per year. if the
five houses were completed within
that period. More than 700 persons
have already agreed to support that
plan, that is, to give 50 each time
a house is built or bought. Thus
$2,S00, or over one-half of the cost
of each home has been subscribed.
Assured of Home.
In this way every member of the
conference is assured of having a
home of his own during his declin-
ing years--after he is no longer able
to hold pastorate, and the meager
salary OF, his best years has stopped.
The homes will be maintained by
the conference and in addition the
yearly allowance will be paid as at
present.
-Four provisions are made for the
support of the superannuates. First,
the apportionment from the confer
ence claimants fund of the church,
second, the apportionment from the
general endowment fund for super
annuate ministers, which is divided
among all the conferences of the
Southern Methodist church. third, a
special endowment fund established
for each conference; and fourth, tlH
building Of homes for the aged min
listers.
Since the annual conference of
1919, held at Memphis, the board has
been working on the plans adopted
Wednesday. Preparations are being
made to begin at once to acquire
the homes. Three such pieces of
property are now owned by the con-
ference and occupied by retired
preachers or their widows. BY

NAMES WITH CITY
Present CITY Clerk With 66
New Sets of Petitions
Signed Near Booths EIec-

Supplements recall petitions.
against Mayor PsaAfe and the four
city commissioners were filed with
G. c. Pashby, city clerk at 1880
O'Clock Thursday.
The signatures on the new petit

polling places throughout the city
during the election Tuesday. The &C
sets of petitions filed contain ap-'
proXimately 4,500 names, according
to James +, Biekers, attorney for the
recall committee.
There can be no questioning the
validity of these petitions" Mr.. Bick-
ers declared "Only those persons
who had voted were solicited to Sign
the recall and all petitions are prop
erly sworn to-
OF the S,697 names on the first
batch of petitions filed, approximate
ly 1,600 were said by the city clerk
to be good. This number with the
$500 filed Thursday WILL in the opin-
ion of the recall committee be more
than u sufficient number to warrant
the calling of an election.
With the supplemental petitions the
same process is to be followed as
with the original petitions. The city
clerk Is allowed ten days in which
to check the names and certify his
findings to the city commission IL
there are enough names or to the
recall committee in the event the
number Is insufficient.
An ample supply OF printed forms
such as were used in checking the
original petitions are on hand and
will be used by the corps of extra

from the general public. m
The first is: Us the work that is
done meritorious ?"
The second is: "Does the money
reach those for whom it is donated
without undue waste?
Those two questions can be faced
by the Salvation army without fear.
Those who have any doubts about
the answer to the first question need
only to take a walk along Front street
any cold or stormy evening. There
are literally hundreds of men who
have no place to 60 to find warmth
and mere bodily comfort except a
lodging house bedroom or the I. w.
w. headquarters. And too often they
haven't the price of the lodging house
bedroom. You can't dismiss that
problem by closing your eyes to it,
and Fargo can't continue to ignore it.
Men who are unwilling to give their
time and personal attention to better
ing conditions in the Front street dis
trict-and. any other district where
poverty and suffering prevail-can at
least give money to those who are
willing to devote their lives to that
problem. The giving OF money is the
easier part of it.
And surely it isn't necessary to an
swer the second question. For years
the Salvation Army has had repu-
tation of making a dollar yield the
maximum amount of service. It has
never been wealthy organization. It
has never had much money to spend
for salaries or overhead IT, has
learned economy in a bitter school
and any doughboy will bear witness
to the efficiency Of the Army organi-
zation, and it's capacity for spending
the greatest possible percentage OF
it's funds in the work it undertakes.
Certainly the Army can meet the
two chief tests, and The Forum hopes
minimum of effort will be needed
to raise the $4,000 asked for in Far
go.-Fargo Forum.
