 One of the many impressive cere- monies in which the American Le- giop delegation will participate on their trip to France this summer will be the laying of a cornerstone of the new bridge to span the Marne at Chateau-Thierry. The new struc- ture will be known as "Pont Roose- welt" in honor of the late Theodore Roosevelt and his son Quentin The latter fell in combat near Chateau Thierry,
 Life size replicas of the old ''tin bat" of A. E. F. days will bear the names and service records of Illinois soldiers on trees of memorial high ways of the state, according to a re- cent decision of the Illinois depart ment of the American Legion.

 The F. W. Galbraith Jr., Post of the American Legion of New York City is the first post named for the late national commander of the Le- zion, to receive it's charter. It is composed chiefly of Legionnaires at tached to the American Legion Weekly headquarters. Two other Legion posts have organized in honor of the late commander, one at Gin cinnati, O., and the other at Rock Island, III.
 The first railroad to announce re- duced rates for delegates to the an- nual convention of the American Le- zion at Kansas City this fall is the Frisco. A one-cent a mile rate will be extended to all American Legion | men, their wives and others who are members of the Women's Auxiliary.

TO MOTORISTS
Help to Keep the Roadsides
 Beautiful!

You love the beauty of our New England roadsides as you motor through them. Help to keep them beautiful. You know what flowers to pick along the road, and which are the precious and rare varieties that picking tends to exterminate. Help teach others what you know, so that as the years go by, our highways may become more beautiful for the increasing crowds of travellers who use them, instead of less so. For our roadsides are in a real danger now from automobilists who love our native plants, but who do not under stand their habits, and whose gather ing of them is wiping them off the face of the earth.
 There is mountain laurel, for in- stance, whose glossy green tops put forth their marvellous, coral-pink clusters of flowers under the half shade of the pines. This shrub is a plant all our own. It does not grow in other countries, except where it is imported and carefully cherished in gardens Yet we are exterminat- ing our laurel. Every year truck

Two hundred and fifty members of the American Legion, headed by Franklin D'Olier, former national commander, and representing every state and every branch of service, : will sail for France August 3 on a pilgrimage to the former battle zone of the world war.
 The pilgrimage IS at the instance of President Millerand, who on be half of the French Government, in vited the American Legion to send a representative delegation of former service men to attend the unveiling of the Flirey monument and to par ticipate in a series of events planned especially for the Americans.
 The Flirey monument at Flirey, France, is tribute of the citizens of that town and Lorraine to the valor of the American troops who delivered their soil from German occupation. Flirey is in the old Foul sector and once was the regimental headquar- ters of several American divisions.
 A replica of the Flirey monument was presented recently to President Harding by Ambassador Jusserand, who at the same time transmitted President Millerand's invitation to the American Legion through it's national commander, John G. Emery. Because of stress of Legion matters in this country, MT. Emery will not go to France with the Pilgrimage, having selected MT. D'Olier for the leadership.
 A trial trip of the American Le- gion", the new 21,OOO-ton twin screw passenger-cargo liner of the Munson Lines, was the occasion for a gather ing of American Legion officials from Eastern States. The trip lasted two days. It started from Camden, N. J., and ended in New York. The ship was built for the United States Shipping Board by the New York Ship Building Corporation. It was allocated to the Munson line for ser vice between New York and South America.
 The 25O members of the American Legion who tour France this summer as guests of the French Government will visit the battle-scarred town ot St. Die, we'll known to Americans who served on the old Luneville front. Not many of the defenders of St. Die knew at the time that they were defending the house in which America got it's name. In St. Die lived the Alsation monk, Wald- ee-Muller, whose suggestion it was that the Western Continent take the name of the navigator, Amerigo Vespucci.
 Marshal Foch, who is coming tc the United States this fall to attend the national convention of the Amer. ican Legion at Kansas City, will meet the American Legion delega- tion in France this summer. If pos. sible he will receive the Legionnaires in the old house in which he was born. The house is in the Pyrennes and the Legion men will mark ii with a memorial tablet.

loads of it are used for the making of festoons to decorate bathrooms and churches. Each festoon means that years growth and with it hun dreds of clusters of the wonderful, pink flowers are destroyed, and our woods are being gradually denuded 1 of one of their most precious fea- | lures. Automobilists, who love our New England countrysides should look out for people tearing down the laurel bushes, and try to save them Laurel should be cut with knife, and cut sparingly. A few sprays are more beautiful than a great many, and a few spread now means a great many in the future instead of none at all.
 Then, there are our roadside flow CTS, which we all love to look at as we pass them. There are many of , these that may be picked without endangering the supply. There are our daisies which are cultivated in gardens in Europe, and all the nod ding grasses that grow with them. We may pick these to our hearts content, also wild roses, meadow sweet, irises, asters, golden rod,' and , eupatorium, as they are so plentiful that enough will surely be left to go i to seed.
 We sometimes see marsh-marigold, violets and rock columbines growing i in such profusion that we think of them as beyond danger of extermin- ation, but they are not, and if we l hope for the permanence of their f lovely growth we should pick them sparingly. But the delicate swamp orchids we should guard carefully | Picking these pulls up the root, and 1 helps to exterminate a plant which is already rare. Carry a book along with you, if you do not know these plants, and you will find the making of their acquaintance. a delightful pastime. You will learn hundreds of treasures of our woods and hills which you can help to propagate rather than to destroy. Ther4 is our native orchid, the pink lady 1 slipper, which mods at the end of it's slender stem, coming up from be- | tween two big leaves near .ne ground. Orchids should always be arranged alone, or two or three together. Cut one, now and then, leaving its roots intact. But leave the others to grow, for they are among our rarest treasures. We shall find our gentians. our jack-in- the-pulpit, our arethusa, our crow foot violet, our bunch berries, our ferns. They all need protection. They wither quickly when picked, and the picking of them is making these delicate and beautiful plants more and more rare, until in time we shall not be able to find them at all. Even the Mayf1ower, New Eng lands sweetest of flowers, is rapidly being exterminated from over-pick- ing. All these flowers we can help to cherish and preserve.
 This appeal is made to you be- cause we feel that the automobiles have not only an intimate interest in our roadsides, bu that they may have great influence in guarding them. You already know and appre- ciate their beauty. In your wander ings along our roads, you can carry a knife with which to cut flowers instead of break them, you can learn what kinds to cut and what kinds should be left to multiply, and you can help others to do so. You can avoid buying rare flowers offered for

100000 Orchard Deal.

Probably the largest deal in apple
orchard properly made in Virginia in
recent years was announced last Fri.
DAY at Winchester, when a deed was
recorded transferring from Shirley
BYRD the formers one-half undivided
interest in a tract of 23l acres. known
as the Melvin Green fruit farm, one
OF the show" orcrards of the State.
Mr.. Carter receives 100000 for his
one-half interest. Senator Byrd al.
ready owned the other half interest
ms, added to his other orchard prop-
ertles in Frederick, Clarke, Shenan-
aoah and Rockingham counties, gives
MIN approximately 1900 acres, con-
tanning 10000 trees of leading COM
mercial varieties, over half OF which
are of bearing age.
His are probably the largest produc-
ing orchards in Virginia, and they are
cultivated and managed by expert
hortcuturisits. His total crop in
1920 amounted to $4,000 barrels. 26.-
600 barrels of which came from the
5000 trees on the Green orchard. which
are l8 years old and in prime condi-
tion.
Due to severe weather late in March
and early in April, the Virginia crop
was almost failure this fall. but the
Byrd orchards yielded about 5000 bar
rels. A smoke screen produced with
smudge pots saved much OF the fruit
in his "Rosemont" farm orchard in
Clarke county, when freezing tempera-
ture prevailed last spring. 1t was the
hrst time "mudging had been tried
on broad 1cale in that part Of the
State and lille the experiment was
expensive, it was satisfactory. About
5000 gallons of crude oil were burn
ed in the pots during three or four
nights.
Senator Byrd says that if normal
conditions prevail this winter and next
spring and summer, his orchards in
the various counties of Northern Vir-
gInla should produce approximately
$4,000 barrels in the fall Of 1922.
