POPPY As MEMORIAL FLOWER,
Tacoma (Nash.) Post Adopts Rssetu-
tioN Urging Flanders Flslds Bloc
com d Made 0hSeial.

A request has been received BY
Franklin DOlier. 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
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; --'-'-,-s''
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
, q waving scarlet blessing over they
graves: -tr1rs ssat z.
"Be it 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 our
soldier dead by setting aside plot fol
continued display of waving red pop
pies.
"That red poppy be worn by every
member of the American Legion on
Memorial day."
It is probable that similar resolu
ton will be introduced by the post al
the next convention Of the American
Legion, which is to be held In Cleve
land, o.
