QIe TO those who fell ip France,
There could be no more fitting
tribute. We have learned to
regard the poppy as our own. Its
sight must ever recall the immortal
poem Of Colonel McGrea. In Elan
ders Fields"
We grasped the flaming torch
and Kept the faith. Our war dead
overseas numbered 75,64O. The
red peoples of Flanders fields,
each petal a drop of blood, are
constant reminders OF the Sacrlnces
made.
May 80 is dedicated to services
for our honored dead. Only
yesterday a transport with 5000
collins from France arrived at New
York. These have been brought
home to their final resting place.
Many Of them will reach their des-

presence will lend an added fervor

'sOn the

is one of the finest of Edmond
Louyot's paintings now in the
Picture Store.
It does what all good
painting should do. 1t con-
veys very graphically the i'm
preston and atmosphere of the
scene pictured, so that one has
the feeling of looking out at
an actual stretch of sea and
sky and rocky coast.
"In the Mountains" does the
same thing with quite a diff
ferent theme. A Swiss child
with her sheep, in all the love-
liness Of her native environ
ment, is exquisitely portrayed.
"The ,Shepherdess" is the
largest of Louyot's canvases
here, and much praised by the
critics. There are seventeen
altogether, and the prices
range from $65 to $500.
Louyot, who died last year,
was a well-known French
painter, better known in the
European galleries than in
America.

A. Geneva in aea Mont In Great AUGUST Sale of Furniture

WHEN sale has become the greatest of
it's kind, the supremacy of it, especially
in it's abundance of merchandise, is bound to
be apparent on all days.
But always there comes time when it
stands out very conspicuously in it's un-
matched resources.
In the Wanamaker August Furniture
Sale that time has now arrived
The days which put every sale to the great
test are here, and here in the Wanamaker
Great Sale are the goods to meet it.
How it comes that the sale out of which
more goods have been sold than ever in the
same period is still the sale with more goods
than ever to sell during the remaining period,
there is no need to explain.

It is fact that the stocks in this August
Sale are relatively speaking, as Incompatible
as they were when the sale began, and, that is
enough
There was nothing to compare with them
then.
There is nothing to compare with them
now.
There will be nothing to compare with
them up to the last day.
The last day of the sale is just one week
from Wednesday.
Which means that you have ample oppor-
tunity for taking advantage of what it means
to you but you have no time to waste
There never is time to waste when time
means money, and that is what it really means
now in the Greatest of Furniture Sales.

Reed flags Ford for anti-Se-
m~itism.-Headline.
It seems that at frequent in
tervals some politician feels
called upon to hay Henry Ford
for the articles appearing in
The Dearborn Independent on
The international Jew. Senator
Reed takes his turn at the lay
ing of a corner stone for a syn
agogue in Kansas City last
Sunday. The Senator is quoted
as saying: "The man who can
deny the right of religious lib
erty to the Jew is a disgrace to
the Republic, and an enemy of
the people," and that all of the
charitable acts of the car mag
nate sink into miserable insig-
nifcance when he attacks the
foundation of liberty on which
the government rests" The
Senator was speaking to Jews
with a hope that the Gentiles
present were ignorant of his
text. He wished to "explode''
something, so with no regard
for the truth, he pops off with
high sounding phrases against
Henry Ford. The articles in
question are understood by
most people to be a current his
tory Of the Jews and Jewish ac-
tiyities, and SO far no one has
attempted to refute the sub
stance of them, except by
"iaying" Henry Ford, and that
by politicians of the Jim Reed
type.
