(b) The troopers who rejected the

the indefinite nature of the obligation

clause for three years more. They
Joined the national guard without ex-
pecting to engage in any, protracted
period Of foreign service and while
they were willing to go to- the border
or across even, and do their bit under
the terms Of their original contract,
they felt they could not spare three or
six years Of their youth in the army

ate menace. They would have gone
gladly II they had been assured they
would have been returned home at the
conclusion of peace, but there was no
such guarantee in the federal oath--as
they understood it. Since they. have
learned later that militiamen are to be
excused at the end of the crisis they
regret they did not join. In case of a
real war they! insist they will go, to a
man. The people of West Branch feel
they have been accused upjustly of yell
lowness. They say their home boys are
brave and true and that their prudent
caution was mistaken by the nation for
cowardice. It was all a mistake and
they hope there are no hard feelings.
That is the evidence in the case.
Judge not, West Branch pleads, lest We
be judged.

New Hampton TO Make Much Needed
Improvement This Year.
Special to Times-Republican.
New Hampton, July 26.--New Hamp-
ton is making some very expensive i'm
provements this summer, and one OF
the most important ones is the con-
struction of the new sewage disposal
tank, which will be begun late in the
season. The plans are now under con-
struction and will be completed about
the first of the month, and bids will
be received about Aug. Is.
The new plant, which will probably
cost between $4,000 and 100000, will
consist Of a septic tank, Imhotf type
a rock filter bed, and the carrying away
pipes. 1t will be located in the south
west corner of town, at Il level SC
that the entire city can be drained
thereby.
: Another one of the municipal i'm
provements of this summer is the
laying OF 5000 feet of sewer laterals
and 5000 feet of four-inch water mains.
New Hampton has just cause to feel
very proud of her record along some
of the lines of health and sanitation.
The city water comes from wells drilled
deep into the rock, and is exceptionally
pure and healthful. : 1t has been tested
by state board of health chemists who
report that only three cities in the
stateso of Iowa have water which tests
any purer. New Hampton water would
have tested higher had it not been fol
the percentage OF iron which it con-
tains. However, this is not a draw
back, from the standpoint of health
but rather a benefit,

this to several reasons. First, the

location of the bureau in one of the

third, the fact that the bureau as yet Is

if they wished workers to let us know.
Out of those 5000 cards sent to list
of farmers recommended by state SEN

quest, we only received replies from
about 100 wanting help.
