Concrete Road Builders Spare Century
 Old Elm.

When the builders of a concrete highway between Elmira, N. Y., and Mansfield, Pa, had progressed to a certain point they were confronted with a magnificent elm growing sQuarely in the middle of the road. An exception was made to the usual prac- tice in such cases and it was decided to let the tree stand.
 Consequently the road was widened to about double it's regular width and laid either side of the beautiful speci- men. Provision was made also for the growth of the roots in future years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

scrupulously the great majority of the Anglo American authors have magni- lied and distorted the Hessian incident i1 our Revolutionary War, how by emitting all mentIOn of the tens of thousands Of Germans who fought un- der Washington, and by practically ig- nor1ng the dozen or so Of his German officers, these false historians, by em- phaslzing and misrepresenting the part played by the HesSians, have created the impression that the German peo- pie were against the American colo nies in their immortal struggle. That these Hessians were sold into the British service against their will by a petty and avaricious German prince who made a business of hiring out soldiers at $36 apiece to all corners. That these helpless soldiers were de- livered to England by their prince against the explicit protest and con- demnation of Frederick the Great of Prussia, who refused them passage through his territory.
 That these Hessians, because of their unwillin gneSS to fight the colo- Fnists, began to desert in large num- bers as soon as they reached America and Joined the revolutionary army.
 That thousands upon thousands of these Hessians fought under Washing ton till the end of the revolution; that some companies were almost en- tirely composed of them, and that one Of them was in the trusted personal service of the commander in chief.
 That congress was so appreciative of their services that it made grants of land and other property to such Hessians as cared to- remain in this country and that many took advantage of this opportunity.
 That these Hessian settlers furnish ed some of the best stock that has built up Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Delaware and other states, and con- tributed many noteworthy American leaders in war and peace.

and born out of freedom, will meet in

loyal patriots who have given or Of

death. Then, my dear readers, Me-
mortal day is unlike all other days to
US. No other country or nation sets
aside a special decoration day as we.
This 1917 Memorial day finds us in
the midst of preparation to enter into
one of the greatest wars that mankind
