 In the description of her husbands 8 frailties Mrs. Sophia Lellinger in formed the domestic relations court that he snored Now this isn't necessarily cause for divorce or separation or even alimony in the eyes of the law. although jury of women might decree otherwise
 Consequently, the magistrate ln- formed Mrs. Lellinger that snoring need not be included in the category of crimes attributed to her husband since it wasn't essentially vicious. But here the wronged spouse broke in:
 But you don't know Jim's style of snorin' or you wouldn't say that. judge. I know that there's nice, gen. tlemen-like snorin', but then there's Jim's brand. Honest, judge, when he gets started off-well. 1t sounds like he's tearing up white oak"

CHURCH MUST AID STATE.
Lutheran Augustana Synod Active il
War Work.

| Minneapolis. Mimi. June 6.-"1t Is
! our duty to stand by the government"
( the Lutheran Augustana Synod which
/ is now holding its fifty-ninth annual
| convention here, was told today by its
vice president, DR.. G. A. Brandelle, OF
Denver. DR.. Brandelle in his annual
report to the synod said in part:
I'VE are still engaged in the awful
world-war. Our country has done Won
da5Ts Ii the matter &c furnishing SOL
diers. equipment, and supplies Of food
for our allies. Already many Of our
sons are in the army and navy and
more are going. We follow them with
our prayers and we are sending many
( Of our ministers to care for their spir-
ituaI welfare in the capacity of regu-
lar army chaplains and as camp pas
tors.
The war will change our country to
some extent. Our church work also
will probably be affected. The Swedish
must need yield to the English Ian
guage in our services more and more.
AS a country we are to grow from the
position Of an isolated state into that
of prominent nation. The National
! Lutheran Commission did great work
for our country and our church by
raising s1.3o3,oo0 for our soldiers and
sailors welfare during the present
spring.
During the year the work OF our
Synod has gone on unhampered. In
all the departments, educational, mis-
sionary and eleemosynary-the work
has progressed in an encouraging man
ner. The condition Of the times has
al he az q the colleges
and academies to some extent. At the
present time the question of raising a
larger fund for the support Of super
animated pastors and professors is up
pernost and will be pushed to its COM
pletion.
People seem to have learned the art
of giving as never before. Many also
realize the necessity and blessing Of
standing together, not only in secular
affairs but also in the work Of the
| church"
AT the afternoon session the reports
Of the board Of directors, president and
treasurer of Augustana College and
Theological Seminary, Rock Island, H.
were read. These reports disclosed
that in common with other educational
institutions, Augustana College had
suffered a slight decrease in attend
ance Male students nau decrea sci
ninety as compared with 1917 and the
number Of women students had in
creased by twenty. making total en-
roHrnent of 600 as compared with SIC
for 1917. The service flag of the insti-
tuition has 2e1 stars. A goodly portion
Of the funds of the institution has been
Invested in liberty bonds.
The treasurer's report disclosed that
the productive funds of the institution
aggregate s4f4.942, with scholarship
funds additional amounting to nearly
$4,000. The property Of the institution
lat Rock Island is valued at 100000
The income for the year has been s140,-

URGE CHANGES IN AUTO LAWS.
Council Bluffs Dealers Would Get Rid
of licenss DELAY

Council Bluffs, June 6.-The Council
Bluffs Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton at its regular monthly meeting
went on record In favor of change in
the law relating to licenses and
number plates, whereby application
shall be made and fee paid to some
county official in order to avoid the
eNasperatins delay in the state audi
tors office.
The following resolutions were
adopted regarding the license laws:
Resolved, That it is sense of the
members Of this association that the
delays experienced under the present
method of obtaining number plates
thru the secretary of states office
interferes seriously with a fair and
impartial administration Of the motor
vehicle laws OF this state and prevents
the county attorney offices from taking
such action as viii lead to the prompt
prosecution Of those who do not obey
the law, or who wilfully violate it.
Resolved That we believe it would
be to the interest of the automobile
owners, dealers and the general public
to have applications for plates made to
some local county officer, who should
have d supply OF plates Oh hard and
issue same imm ediately upon presenta-
ton to his office Of the application
properly made out
Resolved, That the use by residents
Of Iowa OF Nebraska number plates
and the resulting evasion Of taxation
on both sides Of the river, Is severely
condemned by this association.
Resolved, That the executive COM
mittee be instructed to correspond with
other automobile dealers associations
and the various automobile clubs ana
interests in the state Of Iowa. and re-
quest some concerted action that will
influence the legislature of Iowa to
amend the motor vehicle laws OF this
state that more simple and more
easily understood method OF issuing
licenses and plates be adopted.
Resolved, That the honorable
gentleman who may be elected to the
legislature from Pottawattamie county
be earnestly requested to give this
matter his serious consideration"
