Trees should be planted not alone in
honor of the men who lost their lives
but in honor of the men who offered
their lives to their country These
trees should be marked with the

ton.

Workmen at a mill In Greencastle
are telling a good story regarding one
Of the workmen. II has been a rule of
the company not to employ men over
- certain age.
A few days ago q man living within
stones throw Of the mill solicited
work, but was turned down because Of
his gray whiskers and his snow-white
hair. The "old" man raj not daunted.
He felt he was still good for many days
Of work. so he went to a drug store,
bought q bottle Of black hair dye and
Dor had his Wilderness a jet black. He
again asked for work Of the same fore
man and was accepted at once. He was
put to work and made good from the
start. Then he was worried because
his white hair was growing, ~ also
were his equally white whiskers. He
again bought a second bottle Of dye
and used It to hide his identity.
The "old" man Is still working his
eight hours q day and one official Of
the company stated he had done such
q good Job he did not have to buy an
other bottle Of dye. but could hold his
Job, even with his white hair and whis-

this year Is stronger than hat which

which has existed between the Wheel
