FLOWERS ON BATTLE FIELDS

A writer calls attention to the fact that after the Battle of Landen in the Netherlands in 1693 millions Of scarlet poppies sprang up the battle field He refers further to the fact the same thing hap pened after the Battle of Waterloo. So he wonders whether the bloodstained fields of France and Bel gium will now become radiant with blossoms
 He might have referred to an incident of our Civil War The fields about the city of Atlanta were whtened with the blossoms of the daisy for the first time the next spring after the and weary forces of sherman had camped upon them and to this day the blossoms of the daisies used decorate the of those who fell and lie buried city
 But there wasn't anything strange about it. The seed of the daisies found their way to the fields in the northern hay shipped to the army--just as the same kind of seed will find it's way to France. We predict that when the is many American flowers will blossom upon the graves of soldier dead in that far off land-and by virtue of the same process.
 And what a charming sight it will be, with what comfort shall we contemplate the scene in years to come! Flowers from America bossoming for the first time in beloved France decorate the graves of those lovethe flowers of their country which they knew well in life making fragrant the last resting place of those who their lives for the country-Colum bus Dispatch.

 In no state in the Union is there stronger spirit of patriotism than in Arizona. It may be that one does not hear much about work here as in states but that is because the kind of work Arizona is doing is the production of war essentials copper cotton and forth. There are still many that the farmer of the Salt River valley add to the help he is giving his Uncle Samuel and one of them Is to raise wheat and much of it possible. And out of the bounty which is coming to him for his fine crops and hard work he contribute to the various work agencies. for the helping hand of every person is needed, the hand which can reach across the and help lift up the boys at the front

Good Will Which is Lost

Merchants spend millions to establish good will. Great advertisers who because of the war, are really not able 10 fin the demand and who for that have really surplus goods to sell still advertise to preserve their good will with the people-the most valuable and costly thing they have. They know that after the war they will have goods sell and they do not want the people to forget them.

M CHUNG ADVISES
 WORKERS IN BIB
 LIBERTY CAMPAIGN

H. J. McClung, state chairman for the Fourth Liberty loan, yesterday is- sued instructions to all workers in the campaign which opens next Saturday. The object of the latter is to increase sentiment in favor of the bonds and to show people their duty. The let ter follows:
 To all workers for the Fourth Liberty Loan:
 All workers should not fail to point out to everybody concerned the per- sonal duty involved in assisting in the work of putting over" the Fourth Liberty Loan. It is a privilege as well as a duty. It is the nations biggest task, and no matter what other calls may be submitted to- or made upon, the individual. the man at the front appreciates most of all being fully equipped for fighting. This equipment the Liberty Loan supplies, and thus will you do more for the Man at the Front by working for the Liberty Loan campaign than you can in any other way, unless you are also in the army.
 Do you know that one s1OO bond will buy:

 Posters
 By this time you will have received your supply of posters The message which they carry will not be ignored by anyone interested in the welfare of the soldier and the great civilizing duty which the soldiers are carrying on for you and me. Care should be taken that the window emblems are not used as posters. They must be used only by actual subscribers to the Fourth Liberty Loan.

SEA SOLDIERS USE
 THE DIAMOND SLANG
(NeW York World)

Marines have carried their baseball humor into the dugouts and trenches of France.
 When the German shells burst about us. the fellows call out strike one or ball one, and when a shell lands uncomfortably close they shout fair ball."
 This is disclosed by Private Arthur N. Fauble in a letter to his father, William Fauble Northfield, Ohio.
 For a time the sea soldiers had great fun at what they called the "interna- tional worlds series" but officers ad- monished them that their exclamations did not conform to trench etiquette.
