OLD VETERAN IN NEW ARMY
Somewhere in France Serving
Uncle Sam as Cook

Age seems to be no barrier for serv-
ice In the army.
For instance, says the Indianapolis
News, there is Charley June. All the
old-timers remember June, who years
ago supplied the fish and game fer
hundreds of indianapolis tables. His
place of business was opposite the
traction terminal station, and ii was
his boas: that he could furnish any
thing that could fly or swim.
June Is a veteran of the Civil war
and when war with Germany was de
clared his old fighting spirit was re-
vived. Because of his age. seventy
two years. he did not feel qualified 10

Stay. yet he wished to do his bit for
Uncle Sam, SO he went out to Fort
Harrison as cook
He served during the first officers
training camp and made good with
vengeance. Then an entirely unexpect-
ed honor was thrust upon him. He
was invited to go 10 France and cook
.for the boys in the trenches. The
proposition nearly took his breath.
but ii did not take him long to make
up his mind.
During the Civil war l carried n
gun and fought with the boys" said
Mr.. June, "and why shouldn't cook
for them now? l realize it is no Sun
