An Appeal for Flowers.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
May we. through the columns OF
your paper, address the women of the
city and the members of the Civic
league in particular, to ask them to
give as generous a response as they
are able, to the appeal for flowers for
Memorial day. Being much in SYM
pathv with the spirit of the article
which appeared IL The Gate City on
"Wednesday, we feel sure that orr
civic organization for women will
wish TO do their part in having the
old soldiers graves here, suitably
decorated on .-onday.
Superintendent Aldrich made to the
children of the public schools today
the same appeal for flowers which
has been made annually for twenty
five years. and as a matter of fact.
the children have brought the great
er part of the flowers which have
been used by the committees at the
various ward schools. For years the
supply has not met the needs, and
with the scarcity Of flowers this vea-.
a more general interest will be need
ed. We. therefore, ask that the mem
bers Of the league throughout the city
give generously to this appeal.
