These two boys are cousins and
great cronies, being Dewey Robert

is nineteen years of age and Resi- is ap-

rules of the Department Marines are
not furnished transportatio from their
home to the point where they are to
receive the training which has become
so important, but this did not interfere
with young Resins plans and he spent
real hard money so that he could don
the uniform of the United States
Marines at the same time his cousin
Wiley did. The story is told in the
following words clipped from Tuesdays

Howard Webster Resi-, 81 years old,
who has been working on a farm at
