Says Farmers Should Be
EXEMPTED to Harvest Crops

That The War department is incon-
sistent in urging the farmers to plant
mammoth crops and then refusing
them exemption from the draft to
harvest the results of their summers
work is the charge made by John A.
Robertson, member of the exemption
board of the Northern district of Ne
braska.
In a letter addressed to Governor
Neville Mr.. Robertson says, in part:
I'm response to the war demand,
and without assistance from outside
sources, the farmers have raised the
largest crops the state ever had, and
the stockmen have increased their
herds and established new ones with
the belief that they would thus be
doing their part to win the war. Now
when they have done this and large
part of the crops are still unharvest-
ed, this board i instructed to certify
these farmers and stockmen for serv-
ice, and that if we do not Nebraska
will be slassed as a Stacker state.
The farmer and stockman as a
class do not ask for nor expect any
favors and would be very much en-
barrassed should they receive any,
but we should not cripple industry or
agriculture so it would in the least
reduce production. We ought to be
We must win this war"

Washington, Sept. 15.-If a large
part of the governors of the states
approve a suggestion by the provost
marshal general an immediate exami,
nation of the 100000 men registered
for military service and not yet called

ton was made with a view to satisfy
ing the great number of young men

advisability of such action were sent
to, all states and it is expected that
all replies will be received early next
week, To secure the 687 900 men al,

KING CORN WINS
IN HOT RACE WITH
old JACK FROST
Farmers Wearing Happy Smiles
as the Bumper Crop Goes
Past the Danger
Point.

In its race to beat the frost King
Corn is = coming down the home
stretch with flying colors and is near
ly under the wire, according to the
weekly crop report of the Northwest
ern railroad.
The report has to do with the con-
dition of the corn crop for the week
ending Friday night and from all
points along the system there is but
one opinion expressed by the COM
pany agents after comforting with
farmers tributary to their stations.
This opinion is that a large portion
of the Nebraska corn is in the clear
and that the balance of it will be out
of the way of frost by the end of an
other week or ten days at the latest
Wearing Happy Smiles.
The Northwestern's report indi-
Gates that the Nebraska farmers are
about the best satisfied individuals to
be found anywhere, as they can al
most begin counting the dollars that
their years corn crop will add to
their bank accounts.
The report points to not only the
largest, but the best corn crop that
has ever been raised in the history of
the state. In many of the fields, es-
pecially where the planting was early,
the corn is fully matured and the
stalks are dying. In instances where
the corn is in this condition, the
stalks are we'll loaded and the ears
unusually large, being filled with
kernels to the tips.
Ears Well Filled.
While corn promises to remain as
king, potatoes are going to give it
close race for place The reports
from the potato fields in the north
ern, central and western portions of
the state indicate that the yield will
be anywhere from normal to bumper.
The potatoes have been helped to

WOMEN CONDUCT
REGISTRATION At
small EXPENSE
Cost Of Registering Thirteen
Thousand Women in Douglas
County Amounts to
Only $68.17.

Douglas county women can teach
men thing or two when it comes to
, election expenses. 1t only cost them
$65.17 to register $4,000 women
Wednesday. The cost for getting an
equal number of men to the polling
places counts into the thousands.
"Why, the cost of single vote
often rolls up to that price" ex-
claimed one man who knows, when
the fact was called to his attention.
1T might not be bad idea to turn
over all the polling business to
women" another was heard to re-
mark.
Ward bosses are herewith referred
to Miss Edith Tobitt, chairman OF
the county registration committee, to
learn how it was done. Maybe they
will find it profitable to take counsel
from women hereafter!
Printing Furnished.
Every expense outside of the cost
of printing the registration cards
(these were furnished by the state
committed is included in the $68.l7.
Women of the committee are hav-
ing a good laugh over their expense
sheet. They didn't know their own
ability at conservation. Some Of them
had been dubious about taking up the
work because they thought it would
be an expensive undertaking and there
was no appropriation to carry on the
work.
$4,000 Appropriated.
The Douglas County Council of
Defense expected to pay largo sum
for the registration. The council re-
Gently issued an appeal for $4,000,
$4,000 for their own work and $1,000
was to be turned over to the women
for their registration expenses. The
joint sum collected from all the coun-
ties in the state would make a hand
some figure.
If it only cost $68.l7 to register the
women of Douglas county, the most
populous county in the state, the cost
for the other counties would be small
in comparison.
Serve Without Pay.
All work of the women was vol
unteer. Instead of paying for the use
of the polling places Miss Tobitt and
her committee called on the men who
occupied the polling places and with
a winning smile and a word or two
secured consent to use the stores.
Instead of paying women double
time for serving as registrars, as the
men do, women served without pay.
What have the men to say to that?
So far The Bee has no tip that
women plan to commander the polls,
now that they have demonstrated how
much better they can do the work.
But would it be bad idea?
