THF, NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEKKTiY TRIBUNE.
How would YOU
like a raise.
like this ?
Tjc
and for
34 "Years Work,
THAT is the kind of increase in salary
the minister has received. His living
expenses have risen just as fast and as far
as yours.
But he is paid on the average just 52 cents
more per church member than he was paid 34
years ago.
The Minister Never Fails You
Every officer of the Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
of all.
But 80 of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as a minimum
for the support of an average family.
When hospitals need money they enlist the
support of the ministers and receive it.
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they must be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer's.
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week about half the pay of a mechanic.
We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic
And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do
you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church;
an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to
the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our
children ; visit us when we are Sick. In their hands is the
spiritual training of the youth.
We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense
Part of the Interchurch World program is this a living
wage for every minister of Jesus Christ ; an efficient plant,
and a chance to do a big man's job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It's the best investment for your community and
for your children that you can ever make.

APTLY NAMED "MOLTEN SEA"
High Priests' Swimming Pool In Solo
mon's Temple Most Wonderful
"Tub" Ever Constructed.
How many persons ponder, while
"tubbing" in the midst of modern con
veniences, on how the rest of the world
performs this snme act of personal
cleanliness? The stolen pleasures of
tho "old swlmmln' hole," tluT wooden
tub In the kitchen surrounded by that
questionable curtain of privacy a
sheet over the clothes horst a real
sea bath or swim In a "gym" pool have
been the stepping stones of progres
sion for most of us to the modern con
veniences. This bnthing Iden started with Illhle
folk, who built the most wonderful
swimming pool the world tins ever
seen In Solomon's temple. This
"molten sea" measured ten cubits from
brim to brim, live cubits in height nnd
was round in compass; the thickness
wns a hand's breadth, nnd tho brim,
shaped like that of a teacup, was
carved with lilies and leaves. Tho
Immense basin wns borne aloft by
12 carved oxen, three each facing
north, south, east and west. The pool
received and held 11,000 bnthers at ono
time nnd was designed for and used
by high priests, there being 20,000
baths of wine nnd the same number
of oil provided for tho laymen. In

(. 1920. by Mi-nure Newppr Hvri.llcntn.)
There wns nn nlr of expectancy
nbout the plnce. ns though it had been
! waiting for centuries! for deliverance
from the ties that held It there. Even
Ellns I'pton, station agent, general
store proprietor and postmaster, lay
back In Ids chair against the wall of
the station and slept soundly as the
train rattled In, stopped to let a pas
senger off, and went out again.
The departing train left Ellxaheth
Ann standing on the platform with a
suitcase In eaeli hand. Not a humnn
being was In sight, except the station
agent, anil It win with some misgiv
ings thnt she spoke to him. Still he
slept, and It took a sharp poke to
awaken him.
"Iiless them (lies I" snld Ellas, as ho
slapped at a lly reposing on his bald
head. Then he sleepily opened ono
eye and saw Elizabeth Ann.
"Well what do you want?" he snld.
"Can you tell me where Mrs. Elwell
lives?"
"Yes, but she went to Hoston this
morning on business, so she said. He
back Saturday," drawlu Ellas.
"Did you ever! How could she for
get thnt I was coming?" said Elizabeth
Ann, half to herself. Then to Ellas:
"It's certain I've got to stay, now I'm
here; so if you will tell me how to
get there, I'll keep house until she
comes."
After directions ns to where to find
the key, she started out, and In a
short time rame to a little white house
set far back from the road. The cur
tains were drawn, nnd the porch chnlrs
piled up In one corner of the veranda.
"I didn't know Aunt Mlrn had such
a pretty place, but It must he the one.
He said the key was behind tho blind
for the Ice man, so I can get In all
right."
The house was prettily furnished,
nnd nfter opening up some windows,
Elizabeth Ann foraged the pantry and
refrigerator and found plenty to ent.
She went to bed about nine o'clock in
whnt appeared to he the guest room, ns
Elizabeth Ann bud been Invited by
her aunt, Mlrn Elwell. to spend her
vacation with her nt Ilrookside. Eliz
abeth Ann had never been there be
fore, a'id did not know much about
Aunt Mlrn, except that she was her
mother's favorite sister.
The llrst two days and nights passed
without interruption, but nn the third
night Elizabeth Ann was awakened In
the night by an automobile coming up
the drive. Some one unlocked the door
nnd soon Elizabeth Ann heard voices
below In the kitchen. She opened her
bedroom door and listened, wondering
If It were burglars.
"Say, mother," snld n mnscullno
voice, "here's a pink sweater and somo
other things I never saw before."
"And some one's enten what we left
In the refrigerator. There has been
some one In this house. Looks llko
a strange woman was In this house
now."
At this Elizabeth Ann hastily slipped
on a kimono and cap and stepped out
Into the hall, but drew back ns a young
man came up the stairs.
"Well, who are you?" ho asked.
"I think I might ask you the same
question," retorted the girl.
"What are you doing In this liouso
In that costume?" said the man.
"I linve every right In the world to
he In this house," wns the reply.
"Come, young lady; let's get down
to business. Who nre you?"
"My name is Elizabeth Ann Taylor,
nnd I am keeping house until my aunt
gets hack from Hoston. she Invited me
to spend my 'vacation with her; so
hero I nm," wns the answer.
"Mother, do you know this young
lady?" he asked, as his mother ap
peared at his side.
By this time the lady addressed as
"mother" took the matter in hand, us
she saw tho girl's embnrrassment.
"Who Is your aunt, my dear?" she
nslced.
"Mrs. Elwell, my mother's sister
Mlrn," replied Elizabeth Ann.
"There is some mistake. I'm not
MIra Elwell, although my name Is El
well. Why, Robert, she must menu the
.Miss Elwell on tho Lane road. How
stupid of me not to have remembered
her before."
"Then this Isn't my aunt's house, nnd
I've eaten up nil your food, and"
ny this time Ellznbeth Ann was in
tears. llobert Elwell, for this was
Mrs. El well's son, walked out and left
the two women alone. Mrs. Elwell
arranged that Elizabeth Ann should
stay with her until some time tho next
day, when llobert would drive her over
to Aunt Mlra's.
When tho mlstnko was explained to
Aunt MIra the next day she lnughed
over It, anil she nnd Mrs. Elwell began
nn acquaintance which they never gave
up. While they talked together, Eliz
abeth Ann nnd llobert picked an arm
ful of beautiful old-fashioned (lowers
for his mother.
During the next tha-o weeks llobert
Elwell spent u great deal of his time
with Ellznbeth Ann. Tho momentous
time came, ns It always does, and when
tho spnrkllng ring had been slipped on
her finger, sho exclaimed: "And tho
first tlmo you saw mo you thought I
wns n burglar."
"You wcro then, nnd you aro now,
for you stole my heart, and It's only
fair that I play burglar noiv myself,"
was tho reply.
