SOME RECIPES FROM MISS MARY B. MARTIN Pimentos. Probably some of you who are not so familiar with our vegetable "Pimento" would like to know a little bit of its history. There are three kinds of pimentos. Sweet Spanish, Livingston Upright and Pimento. The first variety was obtained by grafting a piece of Bell Pepper plant on ? J a large tomato, .for tne secona va riety the Sweet Bell Pepper was grafted on the Pear Tomato. The third variety was obtained by mixing the pollen from the first and second. ' The first variety is probably the ' best for canning purposes. Don't let the frost get your pimentos before using them. Many attractive and appetizing dishes can be made from them, and they are a great addition to all kinds of pickles. Pimentos are claimed to be the greatest nervene known. Try some of the recipes given below. J Stuffed Pepper Mango.

FEW EXEMPTIONS OF FARMER BC President in Letter Tells Why Must Be So?All Are Treated Alike. Wallaces' Farmer. Ti 4-1% **4- -frw* fVlO firfif Hi It appears wail iui u.v ? at least there are to be very few emptions of farm boys/)n accounl their occupation. We are ha\ many letters from our readers this subject. In one case a yofarmer who was running 500 a< of land on his own account has b ren refused exemption, and is looking ays about for a-renter and for a purId. chaser for his live-stock. Many other! nedj cases of the same sort, but with ives smaller tracts of land, are reported. A letter written by President Ab- Wilson to Congressman Shouse was ike- made public August 30. Congressman Shouse had written the presiling dent, urging that all men who were rris engaged in agricultural pursuits on March 1 last, should be exempt from and the draft. The president, in his reand ply, says: day "I realize the very great importance of the matter you broach. I can che not see my way however, to making ^me so wide and sweeping a class exempLou tion as you suggest. I fear that ain- class exemption will lead to many ner difficulties and to many heart burnings, much as I would like to see all a i the genuine farmers left v at their at indispensable labors." ken Remain Until October 1. iap- Included in President Wilson's letter is a quotation from General last Crowder's ruling, to the effect that r of arrangements would be made for alone lowing drafted men to remain on the farms until October 1. will There is, of course, very strong an- pressure being brought to bear to ol- exempt men in various occupations. in While in Washington recently, we ich, were told that one steel manufac ing turer, who is making munitions and of steel for ships, and who is employing i. 60,000 men, had called upon General Crowder and demanded exemption V for some 10,000 or 12,000 of his y men who had been drafted. He was refused. Apparently, exemptions are ? < being granted only in very excep. tional cases, and none will be grantpri ed to farmers merely because they t 8 are farmers. The fact that the takiren | ing away from the farms of so many 2St, i active- vouner farmers will verv ma terially decrease production is not uc- given consideration. We are singurge larly blind to the experience of Great Britain in this rfiatter. Our people sch seem anxious to learn, from the exmd perience of our allies in those things which have to do with fightng, but i 28, close their eyes to^their unfortunate economic experiences. ^ bo- . Adjust Themselves. ] Apparently, the only thing for ! farmers to do is to adjust themselves to this situation and plan their >le- farm work next spring accordingly. We have received, recently a numicojber of letters from subscribers, who ask a3 to whether it is constitutonal to draft our young men for service in ?! foreign countries. We think this matter was fully ] ys* considred by congress before the passage of the law, and nothing is \ ^vejto be gained by raising the question i jnow. We must win this war. It will I be much easier to win, if we send 1 ke.! our boys across the sea to fight withii | the British and French, than if we ity ,wait until the man-power of these two nations is worn down to a point I the where they may be defeated. If that i vas should happen, the entire burden of 1 re_! the war would rest upon us. Now lin_;that we are in it, the wise thing to 1 ur-|do is to get our men into tne Dat tlefield just as quickly as we can give them adequate preparation for ithe < ild- work and make the arrangements )ue necessary to keep them supplied with i | food and munitions and equipment. 3rr America Must Win. aE* None of us like to have our boys sent across the sea. The editor of j mP Wallaces' I^armer can share fully in ; -I.- - -I,. xl:. uy?|the leeiings 01 otner parents in uiio ou"i matter, because one of his own boys 'ue has been in the army for some months, and both the others are wait;er> ing their turn. As we look at it, it ^e* is simply a question of fighting ind where we can fight best and most effectively; and the opinion of our "a? military authorities appears to be ek> that we should by all means get our < *ue men over to help our allies! ' . Let us keep our minds on the big thei thing?winning the war. To do that ^ue | quickly, we must ?.ct as one. This is the: no time to permit half-hearted folks,' I or those whose sympathies are with UP the enemy, to distract our attention with .legal quibbles. son mdlV v !V LOWNDESVILLE.
