they'd never fetch. Nickie, s'pose
you go and see what's side-t tracked
our lunch wagons, will you?
Nick took Ben Bunny and Wallv
Woodchuck and Scramble SQUIRREL
along, and, what do you think? They
found Tug Turtle and his dad, Tor
W Turtle, fast asleep in a mud pud-
ole, the lunch baskets tottering some
thing awful

something more, too. Then they ali

Decorate Soldiers Graves
American Legion to Send ST for Each Perth Amboy Man
Who Died in France, 81 in All, to Decorate Graves
Post Has Interesting Nee ting and Elects Officers.

That the ex-service men keep fresh
in their memories their "buddies'
who died in France, and that they feel
deeply upon this subject, deeming it
their duty to perpetrate this memory,
were manifested at the regular meet
ing OF the Perth Amboy Post, 10 of
the American Legion, at the Y. NJ
c. A. last night, when the subject
of decorating the graves of the Amer
lean soldiers in France, was brought
up.
Through national headquarters,
came a request that each post sub
scribe So or more toward fund for
this purpose, and when the subject
came up for discussion, it Was unani-
mously voted to send one dollar for
each of the Perth Amboy men who
died on the other side making S64
to be sent from this post. Despite
the almost entirely depleted state of
the treasury. this move was consider
ed by every man, duty, and while
no tax was levied, all Legion men
are asked to contribute amounts up
to 81 and no more, TO this fund. Al
first, {, proposal was made that sub
scriptions be taken from other citi-
Zens Of the town besides Legionaires,
but II took very short time to con-
vince everyone that this donation is
a duty on the part of Legion men,
with no help from outsiders and that
the move is the least that an ex-ser-
vice man can make.
