ator La Toilette, OF Wisconsin, who
introduced an amendment making

PLEA FOR EXEMPTION
David Dunlop, Ill, Fails to Convince
Board His Work as Farmer
should Excuse Him From
Army Service.
Army service.

David Dunlop. III, OF ''Tllerslie"
farm. Chesterfield county. wealthy
scion of the Dunlop family for gen.
erations. prominent in the business
world OF Southside Virginia, must
serve in the new national army.
On Yesterday the district exemp-
ton board. on appeal from the Ches-
terfeld board, affirmed that body's
decision that young Dunlop must
serve his country as a soldier.
Mr.. Dunlop's petition is one OF the
most remarkable documents OF its
kind In the archives of the district
board. Not only does 1t point out
In good. strong English why the Pc
titioner believes he is serving his
country better on his farm than he
could carrying a gun. but the camera
has been called in to testify in sup
port of the petition.
Numerous photographs show Ellers-
lies growing crops, its well-appointed
buildings. it's pure-bred stock. but the
one which attracts the greatest at
tention Is one in which the petitioner
is shown with hands uplifted. as
though being held up by a highway
man.
The object of the picture Is to show
THAT Mr.. Dunlop is no mere agricui-
turalist. but. rather, real farmer
whose hands are calloused by toll
A criticism heard of the picture as
evidence was that II showed blistered
rather than calloused palms--and that
the hard hand of the farm worker
does not blister readily.
An Interesting Paper,
In his petition Mr. Dunlop sets out
that he Is twenty-five years of age:
that he has always since his early
youth taken an active interest In
farming; that in 1915 he entered the
New York State College OF Agricul-
ture. OF Cornell university; that in
April. 1917. having completed such
courses as seemed to him to have
qualified him for his work as farm
err, he returned to his farm and pre-
pared his land for cultivation; that
he has actually cultivated $50 acres,
setting forth the crops thereon which,
he declares, will. IL harvested reach
an aggregate value of sl2 600; that
he employs regularly five men, one
OF whom is leaving him and that II
he should he taken from his work
his crops would not be harvested
that he furnishes milk to the city OF
Petersburg and is arranging to large
~ increase his dairy's output of that
necessity. and that IL his petition is
denied this work as well as that OF
his farm will be closed.
For these and other reasons urged
he asked that he be excused from
army service. not urging, however
that there were any persons depen-
dent upon him.
Petersburg Officials Urge His Case.
