Dear JOS:
I seen you W 10 the Rotary club
this noon so I know you will be in
terested in what transpired between
mo and Mr.. Jos. Neff. who looks like
Harding but Il only the president OF
a bank. / set down beside JOS. more
because Of his occupation than any
thing else. You know a man in the
newspaper game can't know none
too many bankers
Soon as got set down began
making conversation. This seemed
10 impress Mr.. Neff and the others
who set around me. all OF them Join
ing in heartily.
Been a fine day 80 far. hain't il ?"
I observed with my customary en-
thusiasm.
4 hadn't noticed it," said Jos. the
banker as he give me a look like /
was twisting haymaker
Yes, this is the kind OF weather
that makes a man want 20 work" I
continued.
Why don't your" asst Mr. Nen.
Jos. next asst me wouldn't I like 10
buy a tree. SEE. thinking he was
trying TO plague me. what kind of
a tree, hall. shoe or family" giving
him one Of my rare smiles for which
l am famous.
/ guess Jos. didn't remember for
a minute who he was setting beside.
because he said:
ooh, I forgot who I was talking
10. I asst you if you would buy
tree, presuming Of course that YOU
were familiar with the widely known
plan to plant trees throughout the
nation on the principal highways. a
tree to represent each one Of the
millions of boys who were in the
service. We are"
Il think that's a great scheme.
JOS" I tole him. suppose the idea
is for us veterans TO plant our own
trees, keep 'em watered good for so
or 40 years. then hack them down
and sell them for stove wood. the
money secured TO represent our
bonus. That's a good scheme. I'll
buy a tree; can YOU deliver one to
my office this afternoon, a fumed
oak preferred?"
Jos. explained carefully that he
was not taking orders for trees at
the luncheon and went into details
on the proposition which sounds O.
X. TO me all around. 1t seems Mr..
Stephenson. that the plan is to have
different organizations plant so many
of the trees along the Abe Lincoln
and Dixie highways. each tree to
have on it the name of some man
that served in the war between the
nations that brought on prohibition.
The thought strikes me in this
connection that it's a good thing

I've watched him change from his
bibs and things. from bonnets

To little frOcks. and later on I saw
him don suit;
And though it was Of calico, those
knickers gave him joy
Until the day we all agreed twas

I say I've seen the changes come. it
seems with bounds and leaps.
But here's another just arrived-he's

The guide posts Of his life fly by.

That since he plays with larger
boys. he's bound TO lose the
game.
But little do l mind his loss: I'm
more concerned to know
The way he acts the times when he
must see his marbles go.

We veterans are going 20 have 9
lot Of fun on these tree highways
Think of the sport OF slipping out
some dark night and pulling Private
Emil Johnson's tree out by the roots
because he kicked on our new ad-
vertising rate. The committee will
probably make Art MacDonald's n
poison ivy vine. and George Sands
will likely wither up and die unless
the committee is able TO hang a Cas-
cade highball up in its branches
every night.
Then some day party Of Tribune
folks will be out in the country for q
day Of enjoyment. and they will
start down the road that has my tree
on it, and % per cent of the occu-
pants Of the automobile viii let out
a holler and they'll jump in the
ditch and run the risk OF spelling
their Sunday clothes. rather than
ride past my tree. And Norm Ad-
Ter will like as not insist on the
limbs Of his tree be decked out in
Phoenix hose.

AN EXPLANATION.

So long as newspapers ara made by

ings. No matter how embarrassing
these errors may be to those who mako
them, they nevertheless will continue to
occur, and therefore excuses are Of lit.
tie avail. This much by way of re-
minding you that the Post very much
regrets the omission last week Of the
name Of Dr.. J. P. Riddle in our item
purporting to name the newly in
stalled officers of the local Masonic
lodge. For some unaccountable reason
the first line or slug in the list of Off
GERS was omitted, and this missing slug
should have contained the name of j.
P. Riddle as worshipful master Of the
lodge. Why this line did not appear
at the head of the list of officers print.
ed we shall not undertake to say,
cause we don't know. The printer,
the reporter and the editor are all ig-
norant as to why or how the omission
was brought about, and all are equally
sorry.

Halos around the sun are good
weather signs, and many weather prov.
erbs based upon the observation OF
halos are founded upon sound scien-
tlfic principles, according to writer
In the Scientific American. Studies OF
the relation of halos to rainfall show
that during the summer months 90 10
GO per cent of all halos are followed
by rain within 80 hours. During the
winter months 10 to - per cent are so
followed. Precipitation follows sooner
in winter than in summer because
storms move more rapidly then.
