Messrs. Lucien Crane and Joe Lee,
two of our popular young men have
been called to replace others who
were rejected. We note the heavy
percentage of drafts from 6lidell,
over all other sections Of st. Tam
many parish, in one instance 18 out
of 21 being called, and we are get
ting numerous inquiries as to cause
of this. also as to the proceedings
Of the exemption board for the dis
trict. 1t was understood that the
greatest publicity would be given the
actions Of exemption boards, but We
have not seen anything at all pub
lished in regard to st. Tammany's
board since the calling Of any quotas
of men has been made; and as there
are a good many interested ones
here would like The Farmer to ad-
wise us as fully as possible in re-
gard to the matter.

The Priscilla Club had o splendid
meeting Monday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. G. o. Salassi. Most OF
the members were present SO busfly
working that at times the only sound
audible over the room was the con-
slant clicking of the knitting needles.
The following letter was read
which gave inspiration to the Club
and lead to two motions which pro
posed that the Club knit set oi
garments (sweater, muftler, mittens
and socks) for each of the nine Sli.
dell boys now at Camp Pike. and
when these are finished to begin
knitting for each of the Slidell boys
at the Charleston Navy Yard. Tht
reason for knitting for the boys q
Camp Pike first is that they are moi
sure how long they will be some
where in America" while those q
Charleston are stationed for at leas
eighteen months.
The next meeting will be with Mrs
]. A. Salmen.
Following is the letter referred t
above:

ished work was received, for whicl
