JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
Editor Intelligcncer:

Editor 1ntelligcncer:
At the coming session OF the legis-
latuure the rc-arrangement OF the judi
cial circuits OF the state will no doubt
he considered. and in this connection
there will be an opportunity to do q real
service for the people OF the state. II
may be true that there are few cir
cults in which the judge is operworked.
but these are exceptional; IN many Of
them the judge is unemployed q good
part of the year. Why not rearrange and
reduce the circuits from %, as now con-
stituted. to Is or II, at the most, and
increase the salary Of the circuit judge
from $4,000 to $4,000 q year. with the
necessary travelling and living expenses
while holding court away from his place
of residence? Such a reduction In the
number Of circuits certainly could be
made without requiring an unreasonable
amount Of any judge: and with this re-
duction and increase OF salary the cost
OF maintaining tho judiciary would re-
main practically the same as 1t Is at
present. It would not lessen the ETH
cheney Of the service and would. in fact
make the office much moro attractive,
as there are many judges now serving
at q great sacrifice.

PASTOR ACCEPTS CALL

Rev. Hansen, the young gentleman
at Davenport whom the officials of
the Danish Lutheran church of this
city extended a call to accept the pas
torate of the church here. has accept
ed and served notice on his present
congregation to that effect. On ac-
count of it being customary to give
three months notice before pastor
of that denomination can leave one
church to go to another, it will be
sometime in November before Rev.
Hansen can be installed here. He
is young man who speaks the Eng
fish language as fluently as he does
the Danish language, having been
born and educated in this country.
The church here feels that they have
secured a good man to fill the vac
ancy caused by the resignation Of
Rev. E. Provensen, who leaves this
month for Boston, Mass, to become
poster of church in the suburbs of
that city.

ployed Hawley Heiken who will as

ERNST REED WRITES LETTER

Dear Dad:
Received yours, Beuiahs and ver-
mons all in a bunch the other day.
Was sure glad to get all that grad
uation dope. I sure am feeling fine
and we have been having pretty good
weather lately altho it is raining
now and as We are camping in pup"
tents / have to be very careful not
to bump into the side and get a leak
started.
We are at the front again but not
up in the very front line trenches,
and there are lots of big guns all
around us and they have a tendency
to keep Johnny awake at night but
not so with your old uncle. Any
old time l don't get my sleep its be-
cause I'm too tired to sleep. The
other night when we first came to
this camp the boys expected to find
straw enough laying around to sleep
on but ii turned out that the country
had been picked clean" / guess, so
they had to sleep on boards. Some
body asked Dutch how he slept and
he said "Oh! pretty well only l had
to get up and rest every hour or so''
Say; I'm sure glad you got away
LOT SNORT VACATION GHu It's lOO Udu
| ii dosn't last longer. So you are
director of the Scouts, Regular high
Mogul. l suppose it must be a
pretty interesting job to be around
the kids that way.
/ hear that PIT. M. talked for the
Red Cross at home awhile back. All
have to say is that anything he
said in their favor could be squared
and still be the truth.
Tell Vernon I'll answer his letter
just as soon as / can find time and
that am always mighty glad to
hear from him and Wesley also, their
writing seems to improve lot in
each letter / get.
Tell Grandpa Nc hello and also
Van and Mrs. Kittell and Mr.. AIRY
and don't worry about not sending
boxes as we can get some things
from the "Y" now days.
Well I'll have to close for this time
Love to Ma and Beulah and Grandma
and all the kids.
