many other like groves, the majority
of the trees being killed by the drouth
and now all are being cut down. C.
R. Troop with Mr. Brooks of Platts

Tommy Troop have been chopping
the grove down. After a half century
of care and cultivation this parti

trees and returned to farming. Rela
tive to the cutting down of trees
Joyce Kilmer, who died in 1916 has
immortalized himself by the follow
ing verse:
"TREES"
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree,
A tree whose hungry mouth i3 prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast,
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her lofty arm3 to pray.
A tree that in summer wear
A nestof robins in her hair.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain.
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
birthday coming on Monday and a
number of the children among her But only God can make a tree.
descendants attending school, a Sun

Wedding Date
Lester Kinnamon Who Had Disap
peared from Council Bluffs Home
Returns from "Party"
Home from a one-week "disappear
ance," Lester Kinnamon, 42, of 1308
Eighth avenue. Council Bluffs, for
merly of Plattsmouth, explained to
his 16-year-old bride-to-be, Agnes
Vinci, 1006 South Thirteenth street,
that a swell party in St. Joseph, Mo.,
was responsible for his abrupt de
parture on their wedding eve.
With everything forgiven, Kin

today for a new wedding date.

MUST HAVE SECURITY NUMBERS
Temporary Christmas employees,
taken on by department stores, hotels
and other business firms, were re
minded today by Fred M. Wilcox, re
gional director of the Social Security
Board in Minneapolis, that they mhst
have social security numbers.
"This regulation applies to all temp
orary employees, no matter whether
they work a few days or two or three
weeks at holiday time," Mr. Wilcox
pointed out, so that when employers
make federal wage information re
turns in January, the wages earned
by these temporary employees can be
credited to their social security ac
counts. Social security numbers can be
secured promptly by calling at or
writing offices of the Social Security
Board in the following cities:

ber 2, his mother, Mrs. Herman , Davenport, Sioux City
Fields, reported to police, fearing foul
play. But Kinnamon returned home
late Thursday night, and he and Mrs.
Fields rushed at once to the home of
the bride-to-be, where a joyful re
union was held.
'It Was This Way'
"It was this way," Kinnamon ex
plained. "Thursday evening, Decem
ber 2, I went to a meeting with some
old war buddies with $80 part of
my disability pension check in my
pocket. The boys suggested after the
meeting we throw a party in St. Jo
seph, but I said: 'I can't; I'm going
to get married tomorrow.' "
Then Kinnamon related, his bud
dies offered to take him home. He
got into the rear seat of their car,
he said, and a couple of them start
ed talking fast and the first he knew
thev were near Glenwood, la.
As long as they had gone that far,
he concluded, he might as well con
tinue to St. Joseph. There, he said,
they had a swell party until his
money ran out. They all returned to
Council Bluffs Thursday night.
Awaits New Check
On the heels of the Thursday night
reunion the couple had a grand time
Friday evening at Kinnamon's home
playing an old-fashioned gramophone.
The couple had planned to be mar
ried December 3 before a justice of
the peace at Glenwood, la.; now the
groom-to-be said, he'll have to wait
for another disability check. Both
expressed belief the ceremony will
be held during December. Sunday
is Agnes' seventeenth birthday.
Kinnamon late in 1936 obtained
divorce from Mrs. Anna Blanchard
Kinnamon after testifying their mar
riage followed his drinking a "drug
ged" bottle of pop. The two days h
ived with her, Kinnamon testified,
cost him a $4 00 car. A property set
tlement regarding the car accom
panied the divorce decree.
