I STORY OF ORIGIN* OF POPPY DAY I How the little red poppy became the memorial flower of the dead | of two world wars was described '■ by Mrs. Carolyn Albertus, president of Laurel unit of the American Le gion Auxiliary, as the Auxiliary con : tinued its preparation for the an nual observance of Poppy day here Saturday, May 29. "The custom of wearing the poppy as a memorial flower seemed to ■ spring up naturally Doth in the j United States and England after the j I I Mrs. Albertus. "Returning soldiers i brought back memories of the little w jj d , poppies growing along the j edge of the trenches, beneath the j tangled barbed wire, around the shell j boles and over the fresh earth of the battle graves. They were the one touch of nature's beauty which survived in that area of destruction known as "the western front," and came to symbolize the heroism of those who died. "The association of the poppy with the war dead was given bea tiful expression in the poem of Col. John McCrae Canadian physi cian who sacrificed his own life shortly after he wrote: 'In Flanders fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on row—' " The poem touched hearts the world over and tied the poppy in separably to thoughts of the war dead. The first instance of wearing poppies in tribute to the dead took place in New York City November 9 1918 when Miss Mcina Michael of Athens, Ga., a Y. M. C. A. staff worker, distributed poppies at a conference of that organization. The poppy was first distributed publicly on the streets of Milwau kee in June 1919 in connection with the home-coming of the Thirty-sec ond division and was first used to raise funds for aid of the disabled veterans in that same city the fol lowing May. "The American Legion adopted the poppy as its memorial flower at its national convention in Cleve land in 1920 and by the American Legion Auxiliary at its first na tional convention in Kansas City in 1921. to France by French widow's and or phans w r ere distributed by the Le gion and Auxiliary on Poppy day. Making of poppies by disabled Am erican veterans was begun in hos pitals in Minnesota in 1922 and the veteran-made crepe paper flowers gradually displaced the silk poppies. This year more than 25,000,000 pop pies have been made by thousands of disabled men and women working in hospitals and convalescent work shops in 40 states. "The At first silk poppies made in opted as the official American Le gion Auxiliary flower because its making provided more interesting and beneficial work for the veterans with minimum cost of materials. "While the dead of World war I I ? j II fell in many parts of the world, Î I many of the fiercest battles of that j : war took place in France, Flanders • and western Germany, where the ? poppy is a native wild flower. I ! Again it bloomed between the j ! ses which marked the resting places î of American dead and it became j the memorial flower for World war i î II as well as World war I. i ! matter where they died, the poppy = i is the flower which says we re- — \ member and honor their great sacri ! ! fice for America. = I Ibring^thfughtf of h the de d?sabied Ur vèu J a ^father's su^poîby 6 theTvar.^ st ü j in exchange for the poppies each' = i j year Americans contribute approxi I mately $2,000,000 for rehabilitation Î and child welfare funds of The American Legion and Auxiliary." cros No Home Use of Paper From 1929 to 1940 expenditures for miscellaneous household paper products increased 62 per cent. Value of Legumes deep-rooted Well-fed, legumes have a twofold value. They supply a low cost and abundant source of proteins, minerals and vitamins for livestock. They will rebuild the ganic matter supply and break up EEs packed soils. Legumes that have ss had plenty of phosphorus and pot- | EsE ash will push mineralized organic matter down below plow depth, re storing to good tilth the top 18 to 25 inches of soil. The tap roots will penetrate closely packed soil, aer ate it and enable crops following in I the rotation to send their roots deep , '■ er for plant food and water. or ■ ■ „ T ., ,, , Mrs Hilda Leuthold of Billings ; is voting at the home of her son,, albert Leuthold and family.
