Telephone Calls
Cost Money

Imperial county's telephone bill
will be less in the future. at least
that part of 1t which emanates from
the sheriff's office.
For, at Sheriff George L. Camp
bells order, q pay telephone has
been installed in the county jail.
In the future prisoners who wish to
telephone their friends or attorneys
will use the pay telephone, instead
of the regular line of the office.
Installation of the pay phone was
ordered after several large bills for
long distance calls were presented
TO the sheriffs office for payment,
and a check showed no officer had
made the calls.
Prisoners, asking to use the tele-
phone for local calls, have been in
the habit of slipping fast one"
over on officers, according to Jailer
Edward Nett, and calling Los An
geles, San Francisco and other dis
tant points. In the future they will
pay for their distance calls.

Christian Science

God the Only Cause and Gre
ator" is the subject of the lesson
sermon, Sunday, in all branches of
The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, Mass.
The lesson-sermon opens with the
following verses from John: TN the
beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word
was God. The same was in the be-
ginning with God. All things were
made by Him; and without Him was
not anything made that was made. =
Another Scriptural selection pre-
sentS these other joyous words of
Johns from his Revelation, Thou
are worthy, o Lord, to receive glory
and honour and power: for Thou
hast created all things, and for Thy
pleasure they are and were ere
ated."
A correlative passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, states:
The creative principle-life, truth
and love is God. The universe
reflects God. There is but one Gre
ator and one creation. This crea-
ton consists of the unfolding OF
spiritual ideas and their identities,
which are embraced in the infinite
mind and forever reflected. These
ideas range from the infinitesimal
to infinity, and the highest ideas
are the sons and daughters of Goo. :"

For ten years of service before he began to contribute he gets 1 2-3 per cent |of $2,000 for each year, which amounts to S333.33. Added to this Is ? per cent for each of the 25 years during which he contributed. amounting to $1,O00. Together these sum equal a total pension per year of $1. .S33.33.
 "The employees annual contribu- tion on a salary of $2,00O to obtain this pension was $50, paid for 25 years. At 4 per cent compound in- terest. the $80 paid for 25 years would amount to $3,464.94. For an annuity of the type offered by the pension plan, a typical insurance company single premium for a male aged 70 is $1,108 per $100 per year.

State Pension Plan
 Is Misunderstood
Howell Cheney, Commission Chairman, 0fiers Statement
 in Lieu of General Misunderstanding

{ Hartford, May 1s-The following statement is issued as a result of a misunderstanding among state and municipal employees to the effect that the amount of pensions obtain- able under the contributory plan proposed by the state commission on pension systems would be lower than life annuities which employees might purchase individually from insurance companies, by setting aside per cent of their pay to ac- cumulate at interest until retirement age. That the exact opposite is the case Is shown in a statement based upon figures obtained from the actu- ary of the pension commission, and released by Howell CheneE chair- man of the commission.
 The benefits to be secured under the proposed state plan are con- spicuously larger than any in- dividual could obtain for himself with the same amount of contribu- ton.
 Gases studied show that an em- ploye may secure a pension as much as $1,020.61. annually in excess of annhities purchasable from insur4 ance companies. with the z same amount of contribution
