Planlo Supply
Vacant Pulpits
Special Committee Named to
Obtain Ministers for 40 Nc
Lraka Churches; Shortage
In Iowa to Be Overcome.
Efforts to fill all vacancies in th.:
Presbyterian churches of Nebraska
will be made at once by a special
committee. The wo.k is the result
of a conference ot Presbyterian
ministers of Nebraska r.nd eastern
Iowa at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday
afternoon conducted by Dr. Waller
Houston, Columbus, O., head of '.he
vacancy and supply committee.
At prescit there are 4(10 pulpits
without pastors, 40 vacancies heim?
in Nebraska, accoiling to Dr.
Houston. 1
"Hy proper manipulation of minis
ters, a portion of the vacancies can
be filled, but there will still he a
shortage until the seminaries have
graduated more new ministers," Dr.
Houston said.
"Before the war, the seminaries
graduated about 30;) new ministers
annually. Now, the seminaries are
Riving us about half that number.
Deaths in the ministry also made
vacancies.
"By preaching the importance of
taking up the mini try as a life
work, showing the joys as well as
the sorrows of the life, yoiuu men
can be influenced to take up the
work," Dr. Houston says.
"The low salary trouble has been
righted by higher salaries, salaries
averaging $-.600 without a manse,
and $1,800 with mar.se. With proper
endeavors the ranks can be filled in
a few years."

Ord Community Club
Asks Relief From
Money Stringency
Ord, Nob., Dec. .(Special.)
The Ord Community Service club
has sent the folowing petition to
Governor W. P. G. Harding of the
iederal reserve board:
"Present conditions are such that
farmers cannot sell their grain and
stock without immense loss. In face
of that condition your board is in
sisting that farmers sell their crops
at the present low prices, which will
not pay the cost of pioduction. Grain
and stock will then be in the hands
of speculators, at the expense of the
farmers, many of which will be
forced into bankruptcy. This condi
tion of affairs means general bank
ruptcy. "We tuge that in the present
emergency the maximum of credit
should hi extended the farmer and
stock man. Your board should de
clare that an emergency now exists
and arrange for credit extension to
farmers so that some of the exist
ing indebtedness can be paid out of
the proceeds of the present crops.
"The present situation relative to
markets and credits constitutes a
real menace, and we icel that the
federal reserve board should act
quickly in seeing that justice is giv
en the agricultural i.itrrests of our
country."

Nonpartisan League
Blamed for Failure of
North Dakota Banks
N
Milwaukee. Dec. 1. M. P. John
son, former president of the North
Dakota branch of the American So
ciety of Equity, declared before the
Wisconsin branch, that the recent
bank crashes in North Dakota could
be traced to "reckless waste of
money for propaganda purposes and
tc nonpartisan league socialistic
schemes." Of the bank situation, he
said:
"Some say it is due to Wall
street," Mr. Johnson said. "I don't
think Wall street cues much about
it either way, hut I know the bankers
:;nd depositors out there got to see
ing that too much money was being
squandered."
The league system of post-dated
checks, all sorts of stocks in holding
companies and the methods of dis
counting notes and checks to get the
money were alleged by Mr, Johnson
as among causes of the crash.
