AN INCREASE OVER 1922

i-2.‘},000, , J0() Have Been Distributed Since KKIO to Conference Claimants As Pensions. Other F'igures

CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 19—The Methodist Episcopal church paid $2,400,935 ns annuities or pensions to its 2,436 retired ministers, 3,939 widows and 889 dependent orpahns, according to a report made today by Dr. Jofceph B. Hingeley, cotresponding secretary of ^ of the Board of Conference Claimants, i Bishop C. B. Mitchell, St. Paul, Minnesota, presided and members of the board were present from all over

the United States.

■ “There is an increase of 138 pensioners over 1922,” said Dr. Hingeley. “The total amount paid as pensions was $2,400,935 and for necessitous cases $197,088. Although there was an increase paid to the pensioners, the legal disciplinary claims of the pensioners was $3,965,873, which left a

deficit of $1,564,938.

The total endowment for preachers’ pension in all Methodist church organizations has increased since 1906 to 1923 from $1,000,000 to $17,000,000 Of the total amount distributed by the board as pensions in 1923, $1,930,435 came directly from ministers them-

1 “During the present century, 19011923, $23,000,000 have been distributed in conference claimants as pensions. More than half that amount has been distributed in the last seven

years.”

I The Protestant churches have now endowments amounting to $71,109,000 and the endowment fund is constantly increasing,” said Dr. Hingeley who is secretary of the interdenominational pension boards of the Pro-

stantly In progress. Poultry raisers should keep in touch with these new developments. The means of doing so are within the reach of all. That is the purpose for which such Institutions as the Pratt Institute at Philadelphia have been established. The .

Excepting in the electric machines, an oil-burning lamp is the usual means of heat. Requirements Determine Size of Machine to Select. Many poultry raisers make the mistake of buying too large a machine for their requirements. This results In a tendency to save eggs for hutching over too long a period before incubation. It would be a heifer plan on this basis to buy two smaller machines, thus permitting the operation of one before sufficient eggs are accumulated for the other. Hatching eggs should not be more than a week to ten days of age if best results are to

be secured.

A Tribute to Service

In the February 3 issue of the Chicago Herald-Examiner, Mr. Arthur Brisbane says: “Henry Ford said to this writer a couple of years ago — ‘Standard Oil is the most ably managed concern in the United States’.’* Naturally such sweeping commendation is gratifying but if, as we suspect, and want to believe, Mr. Ford’s remark was prompted by his knowledge that this Company is succeeding in rendering a superior service to the public, then it is doubly pleasing. For service in its biggest, broadest interpretation is the principle governing all the activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Management of this Company construes the perfunctory manufacture and delivery of products as something less than service. It is the whole-souled, enthusiastic performance of these functions that constitutes real service. To gain a new and useful product from a single base — crude petroleum — without in any way affecting the quality of other useful products—that is service. To maintain, unfailingly, a superior standard of quality—that is service. To make it possible for the man in the remote places to get Standard Oil products with dependable regularity--that is service. To produce an oil that will increase the revolutions per minute of machinery in other essential industries and thereby increase their output—that is service. To manufacture petroleum products of a quality that will prolong the life and add to the power of the modern internal combustion engine—that is service. To maintain a fair and equitable price for its products—that is service. Skill in management of any business is mirrored in the service rendered. An organization which puts profits ahead of service cannot endure. Firm in its conviction that the greater the service, the greater the profit, the Standard . Oil Company (Indiana) looks to service as its chief concern. Standard Oil Company f Indiana) 910So.Michigan Ave. y Chicago,IlL 3503
