Dee. 0.\u2014Justice Duff has\ngiven judgment In the first test case\nbefore him as central appeal judge for\nthe exemption of a farmer. The appeal was made by W. H. Rowntroe, in\nrespect of his son, W. J. Rowntrce,\nfrom the decision of the local tribunal,\nOntario, No. 421, which refused a\nclaim for exemption.\nThi1 son was stated to be an experienced farm bund who had been working on tho farm for the last seven\nyears and ever since leaving school.\nHe lives and works with hts father,\nwhu owns a farm of 150 acres near\nWeston, Ont. With the exception of a\nyoung brother, ho is the only male help\nof the father on tho farm.\nThe father Is a man of advanced\nyears.\nIn granting the man exemption \"until ho ceases to be employed hi agricultural labor,\" Justice Duff said:\n\"The Military Service act does not\ndeal with tho subject of the exemption\nof persons engaged In the agricultural\nIndustry; and the question which It Is\nmy duty to decide is whether the applicant being and having been as above\nmentioned, habitually and effectively\nengaged In agriculture, and in labor\nessentlal to the carrying on of agricultural production, ought, to be ex-\nindis..\neinpted uader tbo nroviniuuy ut Uw^ called uut.\nMilitary Service act.\n\"These two propositions are\npu table: ,^,^,^H\n\"I. In eider thai the military power of the allies may be adequately sustained, it Is essential that In this\ncountry and under present conditions\nthere should be no diminution in agricultural production,\n\"2. The supply of competent labor\navailable for the purposo of agricultural protfuctlou is not redundant, but\nactually deficient,\n\"The proper conclusion appears to\nbe that the applicant, a competent\nfarmer, who has been habitually and\neffectively engaged in labor essential\nto sueli production ought not to bo\nwithdrawn from It.\n\"It is perhaps unnecessary to Bay\nthat such exemptions aro not granted\nas concessions on account of personal\nhardship, still less us a favor to class.\nThe sole ground of them is that tho\nnational interest are better served by\nkeeping these men at home. The supreme necessity (upon the existonceot'\nwhich, its preamble shows, thig policy\nof the Military Service act is founded).\nthat leads the state to tako men by\ncompulsion, and put them in tho fighting line requires that men shall be kopt\nat home who are engaged In work essential tu enublo the state to maintain\nthe lull efficiency of the combatant\nforces ami whose places cannot bo\ntaken by others nol within the cltuj|\n^3&fii\n FAGS' Tft 3\nTHE; DAILY 'HEWS\nFBI DAY, DEp, r.^ijir,.\nLeading Hotels of the West\nWlnw tha Traveling Public May Obtain Superior Accommodation.\nDO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY AND DROP IN AT\nThe Hume\nTea Room\nOPEN DAILY TEN A.M.
