WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Too Modest In Appearing In
Army Toys.

Former service men are too modest
to appear in uniform on special occa-
sions, according to letter from q
member of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
"Armistice day brought with 1t some
new revelations of viewpoint on the
wearing of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations, and, inasmuch as in
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, / believe the
question should be settled now, one
way or the other. / am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as the
bunch does.
"Since their discharge the majority
of both officers and enlisted men have
shown more than little hesitancy In
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit of the Le-
gion is not manifest in any parade
when the majority of the men appear
In civilian clothes and handful march
in uniform. On such occasions the uni
formed man is In an embarrassing po-
sition, and he vows: Never again.
think modesty is responsible for most
mems preference for 'civvies' on formal
occasions, but know that some argue
that they do not want to be in uniform
with bunch of men wearing officers
uniforms and insignia.
II am sure there is not an ex-officer
In the Legion who would not willingly
discard his insignia If it operated as
barrier to harmony But let's have a
standard rule-either civvies or uni.

headed north for the cabin Reneker
had previously erected In the forest
wilderness Of Iowa, near the present
site of Mount Zion. There they went
and there they are today.
The early years were spent in clear
ing the 160 acres of timber Reneker
had purchased at 81 an acre. Supplies
were brought from trading post 40
miles away. Ground on their tract was
broken with the aid of oxen.
Five children were born to the Rene
kers. Four Of them still survive. All
are boys. The eldest is Jacob, aged
seventy-two, and the youngest is DR..
George w. Reneker, aged fifty-two.
The other two boys" are Joshua and
Dallas Reneker. With the exception
of DR.. George, all the sons remained
near the old homestead. DIR. George
Reneker left home at the age of
twelve. Today he is a resident Of
Falls City, Neb., and is the state rep
resentative from the First Nebraska
district.
The present home of the Renekers
was built in 1861 near the site of ths
original log cabin.
The couple have taken few trips
away from their home. They have
made several trips to Falls City, Neb,
to visit their boy" DR.. George,
and once went back to visit childhood
scenes In Ohio.

Iowa Pioneers Live rs Years in
Same Spot.
Couple Married Three Quarters Of a
Century Bought Their Farm for
$3.50 in 1916.

Mount Zion, Ia.-Seventy-five years
ago Daniel Reneker brought Mary, his
bride of few days, to Iowa from
Ohio. Today they still are living on
the original homestead they estab-
lished in the wild West" in 1915.
Reneker will be ninety years of age
February "a, and his wife is ninety
seven. Their marriage record and the
number of years spent on the same
homestead probably can be equaled by
few couples.
The couple attribute their long years
of life to the fact that they are Cod
fearing and believe in simple life and
simple joys.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reneker's married life
of rs years, In the eyes of modern-day
folks, contains few thrills. 1t has
been mostly hard work.
Reneker, when a young man, left his
home in Ohio to go West to see the
country. He returned in short time
to get his Mary. Their honeymoon was
spent floating down the Ohio river to
the Mississippi on small boat. On
