Charles f. COffiE, president of the In
dianapolis chamber of commerce, which
contributed to a fund to send a large
delegation to the Minneapolis conven-
ton.
'There Is now an obligation as well
as an opportunity upon the citizens of

Gated in indianapolis. 1t is not enough

The fund started by the chamber of
commerce grew quickly. The county
commissioners shortly took steps look
ing to a half million dollar bond issue,
the county's contribution to the fund.
The state legislature is expected to
make appropriation for the memorial
and the Legion posts will canvass the
state for contributions to what will
probably be a $5,OO0,OO0 or $6,0O0,0OO

POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER
Tacoma (Wash.) Post Adopts Resoiu-
ton Urging Flanders Fields Bloc
som Be Made Official.

A request has been received by
Franklin D'Olier. national commander
Of the American Legion, to have the
Shirley poppy adopted MS the memo
rial flower Of the Legion. The request
originated with the Edward b. Rhodes
Post No. 2 of Tacoma, Wash, which
has adopted a resolution favOring the
adoption Of the poppy.
The resolution adopted by the Wash
ington post was as follows:
LEST we in the days work, sur
rounded by home and happiness, forget
our comrades who sleep in France,
and here in the arms of the mother
land;
"Lest we forget that greater love-
of these American boys who gave
their lives for their fellow men,
"Lest we forget that In Flanders
fields the peoples grow, among the
crosses, row on row. and that nature
seems to have raised In these simple
flowers the most eloquent monument
a waving scarlet blessing owe their
graves:
"Be II resolved, That the Edward B.
Rhodes post, American Legion, inaugu-
rate a movement to have the Shirley
poppy adopted as the Memorial flower
of the American Legion.
THAT the American Legion take
steps to assist and urge that every
public park, cemetery, and every pri-
vate garden. In gratitude to the men
who made the supreme sacrifice, do,
during the coming spring and sum-
mer, and every spring and summer
thereafter, revere the memory Of u
soldier dead by setting aside a plot for
continued display of waving red pop
pies.
THAT a red poppy be worn by every
member of the American Legion on
Memorial day"
II is probable that a similar resolu-
ton will be introduced by the post at
the next convention of the American
Legion, which is TO be held in Cleve-
land, o.

but offered space In his paper for
publicity they wished for their work.
Members of the committee also went
to the heads of various unions, and
explained their aims and plans Of
campaign. The labor leaders. VINO
were all patriotic Americans, were en-
thusiastic in their support of the
legion's plans and at one Of the early
meetings of all the labor unions the
committee presented an outline Of the
