mitted to the conference on probation.
Not near as many young men are join
ing the conference as aUre needed. The
conference will be greatly in need OF
men this year in order ITO give "a minis
ter TO every pastoral charge. 1t is Oe-
ing predicted that there will be a
shortage of about twenty men. Ten
years ago this conference could hardly
find appointments for all OF its mem-
bers and now the reverse conditions
obtain. The question is being asked
on every hand. why so radical a
change? The prevailing reason seems
ITO be the high wages and salaries paid
these days in the commercial and pro-
fessional world they being so allur-
ing that young men are attracted
thereto rather than the ministry.
The following is the list of lbhe young
men talking the conference examina-
tions and their respective years study:

His Philippine Headquarters Designat-
ed as Legal Repair Shop"
Mason City, Oct. DIR. Homer G.
Stuntz. who joined tho Methodist
Episcopal ministry in this city in 1888,
and who has been forging to the front
rapidly first as popular pastor, then
at the head of the work in the Philip
pines, and now the general secretary
of the foreign missionary work, in his
conference work is telling a pretty
good story on Judge William n. Taft,
the republican candidate for president,
and it is needless to say that among
the clergy the story is doing an end
less amount Of good.
1t was when Judge Taft was in the
island as governor general. and DR..
Stuntz was there at the same time
looking after church interests. very
warm friendship sprung UP. DR..
Stuntz found it necessary to erect a
church, and he went to work, raised
the money. and secured the lot on
which to build something creditable
Then he was Informed that under the
Spanish law no church could be erect
ed that was not dedicated to the Ro-
man Catholic church. This was a
st,Nnper to even DIR. Stuntz, and ne
finally went to Judge Taft with his
story The Judge seemed to enjoy the
dilemma his friend was in. but after
few minutes hesitation called his stem
ographer, dictated a few words. and
then handed the letter to DR.. Stuntz
and told him to go on with his church.
And then. DR.. Stuntz adds to the story,
naSt morning a big placard was dis
played on the governor generals door:
Legal repair shop. Old laws repaired
while you wait How 1t got there no
one seems to know, but it was there
nevertheless.

Iowa city, Oct Alleging that 1t
was impossible to comply with the
recent order of the Interstate com
merce commission containing its modl-
fled requirements for the fling and
posting of tariffs as provided in the
Hepburn law, which went into effect
Yesterday the local freight office of
the Rock Island has completely ig-
nored the order. Attaches of the Of
flee admit that they did not have on
file the tariffs Of railroads with which
they have joint rates, stating that in
order to do so it would be necessary
to provide large room especially foi
that purpose.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Rock Island has already spent $4,000
for file cabinets, they say that to keep
the tariffs as required by the new law
every small station would have to
be enlarged in order to hold all Of
the schedules. While they have made
conscientious efforts to obey the or
der, they have made strong protesta-
tons.
Thousands of new tariffs have been
filed with the commission at Wash
ington. showing the rate to all inter
mediate stations instead of quoting
maximum rates which could not be
exceeded to cover smaller points as
in many OF the old tariffs. In the local
office there are on file the tariffs OF
the Rock Island and many connecting
western roads, with which they have
Joint rates, but still there are many
