In many parts of the country, says an
exchange, -trees are being planted in
memory of tbe American soldiers and'
sailors who' gave their lives in the war.
When grown,-each* tree may be-eaarked
witb th'e^ name of thd -fallen - hero in
whose menaory it is planted. 'The right
kind of tree should last a century or
more. The plan appeals to many- as a
more graceful and beautiful form of
tribute than marble or bronze.
With some of his [grandchildren,
John D Rockefeller went a few days
ago to see the place where he lived as
a.boy at Auburn, N. Y. He told the
children how, on that spot, he earned
his first dollar. He did it by raising
some turkeys.- That was .in. 1848. >
