POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER
Tacoma (Wash.) Post Adopts Resoiu-
tion Urging Flanders Fields Bios
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 as 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.
lngton 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,
Y 'L.est 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 over their
graves:
BE 1t 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-
yate 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 our
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."
It 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.

In a letter recently received BY Mr..
DOlier. Corporal Butte said:
Il very much suspect that you will
be surprised to know that we have
formed a very good post of the Legion

"You may expect TO hear some pc

going to ask you to give us credit for
wanting to help in any way possible

who have been back in civilian life
for some time"

dianapolis and every organization
owes a debt Of appreciation and
gratitude to the men who so ably
and persistently and skillfully carried
on the campaign for Indianapolis said
Charles F. Coffin, president of the In
dianapolis chamber of commerce, which
contributed to q fund to send a large
delegation to the Minneapolis CONVEX
ton.
"There Is now an obligation as well
as an opportunity upon the citizens Of
indianapolis to show that they all APP
preciate the significance Of the fact
that the headquarters Of the great or
ganizatiOn are to be permanently To-
Gated in indianapolis. 1t is not enough
simply to have obtained them. / think
you will agree with me that the least
the city Of indianapolis can do is TO
supply the Legion ample grounds free
Of charge upon which they will erect
one of the handsomest buildings that
indianapolis has ever had.
Bringing the headquarters Of this
organization to Indianapolis is not like
bringing a factory or industrial plant
TO the city. With this organization
comes a power from which will go in
auences for law and order and civiliza-
ton"
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,OOO,OO0 or $6,0OO,O00
memorial fund.
A plan is now under consideration to
purchase two city blocks lying between
two parks which would clear a plaza
between the city post office on the
south and the city library on the north,
which the new memorial building would
face.

useful of all medicines thus enters up

In biliousness, constipation, head

Valparaiso is installing a municipal

only town in the county with electric
street lights.
About mile of new streets are be-

Valparaiso will have more miles of
hard surfaced streets than any city in
Western Florida, except Pensacola.
The bay shore drive is now hard
surfaced and open from Glen Argyle to
Lincoln Park.
Every villa site in Plat 1 and Plat 2
has been sold, and practically all in
Plats 5, 4, and 6. More than a thous-

means that Valparaiso will soon be a

BETTER SCHOOLS
ARE ADVOCATED
WATSON SPEAKS FOR PROPOSED
BOND ISSUE FOR NEW BUILD
INGS AND FACILITIES.

Asking that the citizens do away
with the disgrace of Florida's position
in the educational line and help take
it up the list from the fortieth state,
w. H. Watson made a strong talk in
favor of the signing of the petition now
being circulated to call an election for
a bond issue for school buildings and
improvements. The petition is made
to call a bond issue election and will
be presented to the citizens during the
next few days. The purpose of the
monev raised to be for building new
high q hool building and other build
ings and to equip with modern facil-
tiles the buildings and grounds that
are now in use.
The school buildings will be gotten
only if the people of this district are
willing to take up the task of supply
ing their children with adequate school
opportunities. The legislature is pow
erless in supplying this need. and the
citizens must be willing to face an ad-
ditional tax burden if the schools are
to be improved.
1T is easy to talk of service" said
Mr.. Watson, but people are inclined
to leave the solving of their ills to
legislation instead of doing their own
duty towards their fellow man. 1t is
easy to pass a bond issue for better
roads, as many people own automo-
biles and enjoy riding over the smooth
roads" he said, but when the ques-
ton of better schools for the education
of their children comes up up it is
very hard to get man interested in
the movement"
Florida is the fortieth state in the
line of school facilities, and every man
should make it his personal duty to
do away with this low percentage by
voting for the bond issue for the bet
ter schools.
The Rotarians will make the first
Fellowship Tours trip to Foley, Ala,

The following remarkable endorse
ment of Tanlac was given recently
by Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd, at the
Gresham Memorial Home, Calvin Park,
Evansville, Ind, which home was pre-
scented to her by the patriotic people
of Indiana, as evidence of their appre-
citation of the services rendered to his
country by her son, Corporal James
B. Gresham. the first American SOL
Idier killed in France. Expressions of
sympathy were received by Mrs. Dodd
from all parts of the United States,
and the newspapers of the country
carried the story of the first war
mother
The shock of her sons death re-
suited in the serious breakdown of
Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will
learn with interest and pleasure that
she is now in splendid health again.
When seen at her home recently she
made the following statement, giving
the entire credit for her recovery to
the well-known medicine, Tanlac.
after my dear boys death, / had
a general breakdown in health" said
Mrs. Dodd. AT first it was just in
digestion. My food used to upset me
and l had to diet myself very care
fully, which wasn't much hardship as
I lost all desire to eat. Then l had
an attack of rheumatism, with severe
pains in my shoulders, back and arms.
Sometimes I used to suffer great
deal, and my joints would get all
swollen up and stiff. l was able to do
very little about the house, and at
times couldn't even cook a meal. /
got very nervous and restless, and at
night would lay awake for hours, and
lost many nights sleep as a canse-
quence.
"A friend of mine had received a
great deal of help from Tanlac, and
it was she who advised me to try it.
am so glad did for it proved the
best medicine I have ever taken. 1t
soon gave me a good appetite and
seemed to settle my stomach so that
I was no longer troubled with indiges-
ton. / don't know what it is to have
rheumatic pains now, the swelling and
stiffness has all gone out of my
Joints and / am able to do the work
of the house with the greatest east.
NY nerves are now steady and strong,
1 sleep fine at night, and l feel better
in health than ever before in my life.
I shall always be grateful for what
Tanlac has done for me, and shall
recommend it every chance / get"
