The exemption to which the court
refers is that which permits the
Quakers and others who do not be-
lieve in war to be exempt from war
service. On this point Judge Glenn
ons says:
But congress, in the statute cited
in his behalf has granted an exemp-
ton to those who are already citizens,
and so long as the statutes bear this
declaration that such religious
scruples are not deemed inconsistent
with good citizenship, even enough

for admission to citizenship.

at which the number of those who
are bound to support and defend the
constitution, but who have scruples
preventing their service in war, is so
vastly in excess of those who are
without such scruples, that defense
is impossible against even the weak

HORSE POWER

And that IL not one-half OF the to.

total includes only public service
companies and does not inciud. the
great steam railroad and Inannfuc-
turing companies which produce aud
i'sc their own power. The tatol pow
or thus produced is easily double the
output Of tho central stations.

bright and intelligent young woman,
was recommended to the home OF Mrs.
Leona Barnes, Pill West Main street,
by Miss Gertrude E. Miller, county
superintendent Of schools, whose at
tention was called to the girl because
of her desire for an educ cation.
Mrs. Metney has been in this country
six years. and speaks English remark
ably we'll for one who has been here
such short time. She Is not only
anxious to learn the language, but
household economies and since being
received into Mrs. Barnes home has
endeared herself to all the members
OF the household. Mrs. Barnes says the
girls character Is beyond reproach.
Her appearance indicates that she is
a perfect lady.
Joseph wehbe, brother Of the girl.

A distinct surprise was sprung upon
the congregation of the Presbyterian
church Sunday morning, when Rev.
Robert c. Westenberg announced that
he would formally present his resigna-
ton as pastor of the church on We'd
nesday, Nov. 5.
Rev. Mr. Westenberg explained to
his congregation that he had been ap-
pointed by the Presbyterian Temper
ance Committee, Of Pittsburg. as as
sociate secretary Of the temperance
board of the Presbyterian General As
sembly, and that he desired to take up
the work beginning Dec. l. the date his
resignation would become effective.
Eighteen Wanted Position.
Eighteen men, scattered thruout the
United States, were after the position
that has been offered MIR. Westenberg.
He was not an active candidate for the
position, altho he had given his prom
Use to members Of the board that, if
the board saw Fit to appoint him, he
would accept.
Church Sorry to Lose Pastor.
Altho the church is sorry to lose its
pastor, members feel that they can not
stand in his way Of advancement. The
new position pays a much better SAL
airy than the present pastorate and the
fact that their pastor Is chosen for
such work is an honor to the church.
In resigning the pastorate the church
and pastor are required to join in
a request to the Waterloo Presbytery
that the pastoral relations be dissolved.
and the presbytery then takes formal
action.
Hero Almost Two Years.
Mr.. Westenberg has been pastor Of
the church here almost two years. COM
