Armistice Day.

On Armistice Day, November
eleventh, we shall celebrate the third
anniversary of the cessation of fight
ing in France. The Government will
bury an unknown soldier in Airing
ton Cemetery with great military and
naval ceremony. Various cities and
towns will have minor observances,
but most folks will murmur only a
devout "Thank God!" when they re-
call the date.
Really we should do something
more to show u appreciation of the
soldiers and sailors who died, and al
so of the boys who came home safely.
This memorial day need not be wholly
for the dead; let it be also for the liv-
ing. And that is the basis of a beauti-
full idea advanced by Mrs. Simeon
Shaw, wife of a Methodist minister at
Canyon City, Texas. Let us celebrate
Armistice Day as Flower Day for the
Living Soldiers of the World, Mrs.
Shaw proposes; let each of us wear a
blossom-sny blosson-that day to
show the service men that we have
not forgotten what they did.
"Anyone will buy flowers when
you're Dead" says Mrs. Shaw; "but
the living soldiers must not be for
gotten. November eleventh is late
for flowers, I know, but hereafter
will be too late"
Flower Day for Living Soldiers is a
happy thought. Let's wear a flower
any fower-on November eleventh.
