"The poppy is thoroly democratic
in it's hospitality to flies, bees, bee
ties and all other insects. It invites
them by its brilliant colors and Of
fers no special charm for certain
privileged insects as do some more
exclusive flower. It has no honey
but provides pollen in plenty. In
part the poppy is self fertilizing, but
plants also are .fertilized by the pol
len left overs of the insects feast
which they carry to other flowers.
"a characteristic of the corn pop
py, besides it's brilliant scarlet color
ing, is the large size of its outer
petals which hide the lesser pair un-
til the flower has opened. Poppies
in Flanders, be they corn poppies or
other varieties are not of the orien-
tai species from which opium is de
rived. The corn poppy, when culti-
waited, is known as the Shirley pop
nv. The flower is perennial or an
nual, according to the variety.
"Travelers among country folk of
England will encounter various
names given to the poppy, such as

Monday is to see the commence
ment of the final action on the cove
nant Of the league Of nations. This
probably will be the outstanding fea-
ture Of the peace conference during
the early days of the week. There
are French, Japanese and Belgian
amendments, already passed upon, to
be reconsidered in part and adjusted,
but it is, reported in Paris advices
that progress in this direction has al
ready been made. ..
Sunday passed quietly in peace
conference circles, in Paris. No meet
ings were held by the members Of
the council Of three in an endeavor
to disentangle the situation arising
from the controversy over Italy's
claims to Fiume and the Dalmatian
coast. ...

day of relaxation from the arduous

ference, motor trip preparatory to

the poppy, from that Of Burns and
Keats, down to Bridges and William
Winter, perhaps the most glowing
and descriptive is contained in the
lines of Francis Thompson:
"'Summer set lip to earth's bosom
bare,
And left the flushed print in a poppy
there; !
Like a yawn of fire from the grass
it came,
And the tanning wind puffed it to
Tapping flame.
With burnt mouth red like a lions
it drank
The blood Of the sun as he slaugh-
tered sank,
And dipped its cup in the purpur-
ate shine,
When the eastern conduits ran with
wine."

the league Of nations discussion and
the meeting later in the week, at
Versailles, with the German dele
gates, who are to receive the allied
and associated governments peace
terms. Likewise, David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
sought a change of atmosphere in a
visit to the. devastated regions along
the old battle front.
All the main Italian delegates to
the peace conference, headed by
Premier Orlando and Boran Sonnino,
the foreign minister, either are in
Rome, where the premier shortly is
to appear before the chamber Of de-
puties to acquaint that body with the
situation in Paris, or are on their
way thither.
At last accounts the italian people
still were clamoring for the carrying
out to the full of their demands with
regard to Fiume and the Dalmatiah
coast and islands, but President Viii
son and the French and British pre-
miers remained adamant. Not alone
in Italy is the feeling prevalent that
Italy's ambitions should be realized,
as reports have been received Of de-
monstrations in Fiume in favor Of
the annexation Of the seaport to
Italy.

unexpected because of the pure ac-

The poppy is thorough-golng al
