Wear a Poppy From Flanders

Wear a poppy on Memorial day,
May 80, first, in memory of the boys
who lie in Flanders field, and Sec
ond, as a reminder that we will not
forget the cause for which they laid
down their lives. Throughout the
world the Flanders poppy has come to
be known as the "soul of the dead"
because. it blooms so profusely where
heroes fell. The little red blossom
has been adopted as the memorial
flower of American legion and aux
iliaries.
Money obtained from the sale of
Flanders popp:es will go to the Am
erican-Franco Children's league.
A committee from the Women's
auxiliary cooperating with Post "a
will have charge of the sale of the
popp;es in the town Of Newberry.
The following chairmen have been
appointed in their respective COM
munltles:
Miss Willie Mae Wise, Prosperity.
Miss Alma Lupo, Whitmire.
Mrs. A. P. Coleman, Chappells.
Mrs. J. P Settler, Pomaria.
Miss Elberta Sease, Little Noun
tain.
Those who may desire poppies may
obtain them at Hal Kohn's store. 1t
will be impossible for the committees
to see all who may want them.
The price of these poppies is 10
cents each.

Baseball Decision

Mr.. Hardeman was right in a game
between Whitmire and West End
team on West End Diamond May 5th,
1921.
M. Hardeman made decision
which has caused much discussion.
This is what the Sporting News says
about it:
Ouestion-Batted ball hits pitcher,
bounced from him and hits umpire,
another infelder gets the ball and
throws batter out at first, umpire al
lows the out. Was decision correct?
Answer-Umpire decision correct
under Section /, rule 54. Ball is in
play if touched by infelder before it
hits umpire.
