GREENCASTirS TREES Nearly everyone in Greencastle and the surrounding country knows that Ulnius americana or American Elm has been dying out in Greencastle and several other cities. The question arises. "Are our streets not to have trees?” The answer to this is decidedly, No. Some future date it may be that from among our American Elms will come a tree which is resistant to blight and disease, much as our hybrid corn. Then we will be able to grow the Elm again from offspring of such a tree. Meanwhile it is advisable to look to some satisfactory tree or trees to replace the Elm. The following list is believed to be one of the best of trees suitable for street planting for this part of the country. Here are listed both the scientific name and the common, si if you are ordering from a nursery you will be almost certain of getting the one you want. An attempt is made to list the trees as they are best fitted. Quercus coccina Scarlet Oak. Gingko biloba — Gingko. *Male trees only. Tilia cordata—(Jttleleaf Linden. Tilia vulgaris—European Linden. Platanus occidentalis- Sycamore. | Acer saccharum Sugar Maple. Acer nigrum—Black Maple. Acer rubrum—Red Maple. Frapinus americana — American
Ash.
Acer platanoides—Norway Maple. There are several trees which should not be planted as street trees due to disease, insects, root penetration of sewers and drains, short lived, unslightly appearance, suseptibility to splitting and breaking endangering life and property, also dirt and mess that they make. "Specify male trees to nurseryman as female trees have plum like fruits which fall and must be cleaned up due to slippery condition they make on sidewalks and also the odor of the crushed fruit.

YANK ‘V-lSs* ARE RI DE SHOCK TO AACHEN NAZIS ON A GERMAN HILLSIDE OVERLOOKING AACHEN, Oct. 10. — (L T P) American engineers flung two "secret weapons” they call them V-13s into German lines at the outskirts of Aachen today and judging from the gunfire they scared out of the Germans they were at least a moral success. The V-13s were streetcars, loaded with 88-mm. shells and dynamite abandoned by the Germans. The tracks run downhill to Aachen and last night the engineers launched their V-13. It rolled breezily down grade and blew up with a tremendous crash. An excited outburst of artillery fire blossomed out from Aachen guns — but there was no small arms fire from the blast scene. The engineers have a week’s supply of streetcars on hand. 1 Columbus Gorham of Stilesville | was admitted to the county hospital Monday night.

What about Com Pickers?
<]v<*ry by mail, by tplejerapli, by tcl -pliono, wr* an* iTcuiving; urgent npiieals from famiors for McCormick-Owing corn pickers jo barvesl. tliis year’s crop. With farm labor shortages even more acute than in the demand for pickers has skyrocketed. It is many times greater than ever before, greater than our rapacity, or the capacity of the whole industry, to produce. . We have done everything we can to help in tliis situation. (1) We have completed production of our 1!44 com picker program, and have d<me it weeks ertrlier than ever before. (2) We have actually built 50 per cent nlore com pickers than in any other year of the Company’s history. (3) We have allocated these machines to the corn-growing regions, with government approval, in the fairest way we knew. Corn pickers are still under rationing, and every corn picker we built has been allotted to a fanner with a rationing certificate for it. They were all sold before they over left the factory. There is no surplus, no reserve of machines. There sinijily are not enough corn pickers to go around in this year- of unprecedented demand. Under the circumstances, what can be done? Wo can only make one suggestion and that is for our farmer friends to follow the old helpfulneighbor tradition of American farming, a tradition that comes down from tin* days of ba.mrnising and log-rolling. If farmers will share their machines and share their labor, much can Ik* done to harvest this vital wartime erftp of
corn.
