REMEMBER THE POPPIES.
Robert W. Service, "the Kipling of
the North,"in his "Rhymes of a Red
Cross Man" made light of the idea that
a soldier might care for flowers. Per
haps he was right; yet the entire sen
timent of the world war and what a
tremendous sentiment that was four
years ago has been crystalized Into a
single flower, the Flanders Poppy.
Those who put a shoulder to the wheel
when the German military machine
was rolled back across the devastated
areas of France and Belgium will nev
er forget the crimson battle token.
Wherever veterans gather there will
be talk of the old days and, before the
group separates, someone is sure to
say, "And remember the poppies.
Funny how those things would grow
there, sometimes rght In the shell
holes. They were klnda- pretty too.
The kids used to put 'em on the
graves."
"Yeah," interrupts another, "back in
the rest areas the women used to make
wreaths out of 'em and hang 'em on
the cross arms on Sundays. Used to
look klnda solemn Jike to see those
red flowers hanging there."
Solemn is the word. Plain, unorna
mented crosses and on the arm a wreath
of red flowers seeming to symbolize
the blood the grave occupant had shed
for humanity. That is why the men of
the American Expeditionary forces
will always love the poppy. It was
used as a floral tribute-to their fallen
comrades and, when the barrage ceas
ed and the ragged line moved out, those
who composed that line, invariably ad
vanced through a field dotted with the
frail flowers.
Poppies, poppies everywhere, seem
ing to warn the soldier that death in
all his grim hidcousness walked very
near.
Because of the sacrifices and glory
which the flower represents in fighting
men's eyes It has been adopted as an
inter-allied memorial flower and Pop
py Day campaigns have been con
ducted throughout the Allied nations.
The campaign in America will, be con
ducted by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars of the United States, an organi
r.ation composed of men who have seen
battle service in the United States
army, navy or Marine corps In foreign
lands and on foreign waters.
The campaign is well under way.
The Ameican War Mothers are co
operating with the Veterans of For
eign wars in the work.
Of particular Interest is the an
nouncement from the national head
quarters of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars in New York that, the poppies to
be used will come direct from France.
They are perfect reproductions of
the flower that decorates the American
graves in Romagne and are fashioned
ef silk by the women of the devastated
area In France. The money paid for
them by the Veterans of Foreign Wars
is used In assisting the women who
make them to rehabilitate themselves.
The profit derived by the local posts
ofthe Veterans of Foreign Wars will
be used In veteran relief work. Very
few realize the tremendous task thrust
upon the veteran organizations of
America. They are attempting to care
for those who have been wounded or
otherwise incapacitated because of the
war and the financial outlay necessary
to maintain this service is almost un
believable. 'Ever since the organization of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, 22 years
ago, direct liaison with the government
pension bureaus, claims courts and the
military departments has always been
maintained and thousands of cases
have been righted. That the govern
ment appreciates this service is proven
by the praise of Colonel Forbes, direc
tor of the United States Veteran's Bu
reau. It is the most worthy work imagin
able but to be carried on, funds must
be obtained. Iler.ce the Pojipy Cam
paign. For a week prior to Memorial
day the Veterans of Foreign Wars will
endeavor to sell poppies so that every
man, woman and child will be wear
ing one of the Flanders hero symbols
on Decoration day.
Plans for a Poppy Sunday will be
made and every clergyman will be
asked to devote at least three minutes
of his sermonizing time to the poppy
and the idea which made It an inter
national memorlaL.flower.
The school children will be asked
to aid as well as every military, patri
otic and clvlo organisation. The funds
realized are not to be used f or a club
house, or -new post flag or a piano;
they will be expended In the interest
of disabled or needy former fighting
men, than which there Is no worthier
cause.
President Harding has given most
hearty endorsement to the project and
urges every American to wear a Flan
ders poppy on May 30. His letter to
Captain Reuel W. Elton, Adjutant Gen
eral of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. ,
is as follows:
"I find myself heartily in sympathy
with the purpose of the Veterans cf
Foreign Wars and the American War
Mothers in their request that the peo
ple at large shall wear on Memorial
day, a poppy, the Inter-Allied Memo
rial Flower. It is a most aproprlate
mode of testifying our remembrance
and recognition of the great obligation
of the nation to those who gave every
thing in the service during the world
war,
I trust that the suggestion you have
presented will be generally adopted
throughout the najlon."
REVELA TIONS OF A WIFE
; ADELE GARRISON
"When did you, hear from your
father last?" Harry Underwood asked
abruptly.
I was on guard in an instant. I had
been so occupied in trying to fathom
the inner workings of his mind, es
pecially since the incident of the play
ing of the national anthem and his
ensuing comments, that I. had almost
lost 6ight of my conviction concerning
his knowledge of my father's where
abouts. He had talked of everything
and nothing with the charm he so well
knew how to throw around his conver
sation, and in listening to him I had
felt the old, half-repeallant, half at
tracted fascination with which this
man's presence always affects me.
But his question was. like the sud
den blazing up of a pile of kindlings,
the flame clearing away the mists of
thought through which I had been
groping. One of the objects toward
which my presence opposite him in the
Fleur de Lis tea room constituted the
first tep was the unlocking of the
sealed book, which recorded my fath
er's fate, and of which I believed Har
ry Underwood to have the key. It be
hooved me to answer his question most
warily.
1 waited a long minute beforfe an
swering. . Finaily I decided that the
truth was my best .card.
. "No for a number of weeks," I said
quietly, and then; countered with an
other questioin and an assertion.
"You must have seen him frequent
ly when you were in South America,"
I said, "Was he all right when you
saw him last?'l ""
Did his brilliant black eyes waver
ever so slightly as they met mine? Did
he flinch almost perceptibly at my
question? I wasn't sure, for when he
answered me he was his usual self.
"What's the Real Trouble?"
longed to believe they weren't a mi
rage. A sudden impulse came to me. It
could do no harm, I reasoned, for me
to tell Mr. Underwood the story of the
anonymous clippings purporting-to por
tray my father's horrible death as a
6py, which had been sent to me. If
he had any hand in them something
which I didn't believe I was sure I
could detect the fact,, imperturbable
as he was. On the other hand, if the
clippings had been sent by Grace Drap
er without his knowledge or sanction,
I felt instinctively that it would net
Injure either my father's cause or the
work in which I was engaged with
Lillian for him to learn of the das
tardly scheme.
I folded my hands in my lap, for I
could make no pretence of eating dur
ing' the recital of the events which had
so terrified me, and spoke slowly meet
ing his eyes deliberately as I did so.
"There is something very grave
troubling me," I said, "something which
involves my father's very life. But if I
tell it to you, you must regard it as a
confidence.". '
His black eyes gazed steadily, in
tently at me.
"I give you my word of" he stopped
with an almost imperceptible satur
nine twist of his lips, and 'repeated
Impressively, "I give you my word."
"I accept it," I returned, convinced
in spite of the slip he had made in
answering me. I knew as well as if
he had explained the mat.ter at length,
that he had started to say "my word
of honor," and had stopped in sheer
self-loathing at the word "honor" ap
plied to himself.
"Thank you," he returned and there
was humility in the tone wholly for
eign to any phase of Harry , Under-
wood I had ever known.
ENEMY FRIENDS

ONE REEL YARNS
BALDY EARNS A REST
"Dad.- said Allen Forbes, "what la
they do to horse thieves?"
"Put them in Jail." said his father.
briefly. Allen looked thoughtful, then
i ook nia cap ana went out.
The next day the neighborhood vtt.s
in a rever or excitement. Old Baldy,
the Johnsons' milk delivery horse, had
been stolen. And worse still, the thif
had stolen oats from the Forbes barn
and a water bucket from the Powell
. barn, and goodness knows what would
disappear next. Glenn and Ted Powell
and Allen were greatly excited ovr
ine mystery. Old Baldy was a prime
ravonte with them. He was so old
and lame and blind that he could
ecareely walk, and the boys hated to
eee Johnson beat him.
But the grown-ups insisted that the

One cold, rainy night, as Mr. Powell
was pulling down the curtains in the
living room, he thought he saw a faint
light in the barn. He hurried to the
phone and called the sheriff and Mr,
Forbes, and a few minutes later thj
three men stole cautiously to the barn.

himself blinked at them from a com
fortable bed of hay, the Powell water
bucket beside him and a box full ef
oats conveniently near.
The three men stared at each other
In surprise. "So you are the thief,

Mr. Powell.
Just thn there was a movement In
the Shadows, and out came Allen and
the Powell boye, white-faced, but de

"We thought Old Baldy ought to

explained Allen. "We didn't know ft

Enjoy the beauty that they yield;
But leave them in the rolling field.

Who spoil the beauty of the wood.

With blooms whose life is gone for

In the little village of Oberammer
gau, nestled In the highlands of Ba
varia, they are getting ready to give
the "Passion Play" again. A number
of performances ' Will be given on
Sundays between May and Septem
ber. The famous play was to have been
given in 1920 but was put off because
of the unfriendly feeling toward Ger
many which kept travellers from
coming into the country. Only once
before have they failed to give the
play on the date set for It. That
was in 1870, when France and Ger
many weretat war.
Although every one has heard of
the giving of the "Passion Play." the
reason for it is not so well known.
In 1833 there was a great plague rag
ing over Europe, killing off people as
though they were flies. Whole towns
would be wiped out by the terrible
disease. The plague was carried into
this little Bavarian village. When
they realized that It was In their
midst, the people gathered in the
church and made a vow that if the
plague ceased they would perform
every ten years a play illustrating the
life and dearth Of Christ. The plague
touched them lightly, and they kept
their vow.
The people of Oberammergau are
Just simple peasants. They put on
their play as a religious ceremony
and are unspoiled by the fame they
have attracted and the fact that vis
itors flock from all over the world to
see the performance. They work and
dress and think very much as their
ancestors did hundreds of years ago,
and. seem to be untouched by the out
side world.
