PLAN IS ENDORSED BY LABOR
New Jersey Unions and Labor Paper Editor in Favor of Americanism
 Program.

The Charles Henry Post No. 29 SNew Brunswick, N. J) secured the active cooperation of the local unions of the American Federation of Labor in the Americanism program which has been worked out by that post. Members of the post Americanism committee first explained in detail to the editor of the labor paper what their aims and plans were. They asked his help in advancing the cause of good citizenship and he not only publicly gave his editorial support, 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, who 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 Americanism work, for which they wish to obtain the assistance of the unions.

POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER
Tacoma (Wash.) Post Adopts ResoIu- ton 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. of Tacoma Wash, which has adopted a resolution favoring the adoption of the poppy.
 The resolution adopted by the Wash ngtOn post was as follows:
 Lest we in the days work, sur rounded by home and happiness, forget and here in the arms of the mother land;
 Hest we forget that greater love of these American boys who gave their lives for their fellow men,
 Lest we forget that Tn Flanders fields the poppies grow, among the crosses, row on row. and that nature seems to have raised in these simple flowers the most eloquent monument waving scarlet blessing over their graves:
 "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 prl- 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 for 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- tion will be introduced by the post at the next convention of the American Legion, which is to be held in Cleve- land, o.

dianapOlis and every organization owes a debt of appreciation and gratitude to the men who so ably and consistently and skillfully carried on the campaign for Indianapolis" said Charles F. Coffin, president of the h. dianapolis chamber of commerce, which contributed to a fund to send large delegation to the Minneapolis conveR- tiOn.
 'There is now an obligation as well as an opportunity upon the citizens of Indianapolis to show that they all ap- preciate the significance of the fact that the headquarters of the great or ganization are to be permanently To- cated in Indianapolis. It is not enough simply to have obtained them. l 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- fiuences for law and order and civiliza- tion"
 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 S5,OO0,0O0 or $6,OOO,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.
