SAVIDGE GRINS
WHEN PURSE-FAT
PASTORS ARE HIT
Says Churches Will Be More
Godly When High Salaried
Preachers Have Pay
Checks Reduced.
Rev. Chailes VV. Savijge, pastor of
the People's church, is cheerful over
he fact that war times will knock
lots. of high-salaried preachers out of
their jobs.
Here is what he writes to The
Uee:
"We are on the eve of (treat and
startling changes in connection with
our industrial, social, business and
religious life. These changes will
startle the world.
"There is one class of men who are
in for hard times. It is the preachers.
They are called shepherds.
"God says these "preachers are to
howl because their pastures are
rpoiled that is, their salaries are
taken away. '
"I think, however, that will be a
good thing.
"God never intended preachers to
be high-sakried men. The prophets
end the apostles had no fixed salaries.
They worked without promised fees
or rewards and very frequently gave
up their lives for a proclamation of
truth which God gave them.
"I believe that the old lady hit it
right when she said, 'Lord, bless our
preacher. If you keep him humble,
we will keep him poor.'
I look :or a better state of things.
generally, and more jgodly churches,
when high-salaried preachers are a
thing of the past."
Odd Pocket Piece is
Owned by North Platte Man
N. J. Buzza, 807 Madison avenue,
Council Bluffs, brought an odd pocket
piece to The Bee for examination.
It is the property of Sebastian
Schwaiger of North Platte. It is the
size of a copper cent and on one
side is the impression of Old Glory,
and the date, 1863, with the words:
"The flag of our union." On the
other it reads: "If anybody attempts
to tear it down, shoot him on the
spot."

Parks Says Streets Will
Not Be Sprinkled With Beer
Sheriff Clark will not sprinkle the
streets with beer if Commissioner
Parks of the street cleaninn and
maintenance department can help it.
Mr. Parks contends that beer mav
be adapted to certain uses, but when
it comes to sprinkling streets he can
think of several objectionable fea
tures. The sheriff may scrub the floors of
the court house or he may sprinkle
the court house lawn with beer, but
the city street department will have
a word to say about the proposed
beer street sprinkling party.
Kid Sees Wilson's Picture;
"I Saw the Live One," He Says
Mrs. Cora S. Anderson, principal
of Edward Rosewater school, gives
patriotic talks to the children of her
school.
She held before the tots in the kin
dergarten room a picture of President
Wilson.. "Who is this?" she asked.
"That is Wilson; I saw the live
one," replied a boy in the rear row.
