PoppyIs TheMemorial
FlosDer of World War
While The Little White Daisy
Is The Emblem Of Amer
lean Legion.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 25.-The
little white daisy OF the American
Legion is not even a thirty second
cousin Of the English daisy OF
roetic tradition, writes Walter
Pritchard Eaton, author in an ar
ticle for the Legion. announced BY
national headquarters OF the or
ganization. The American daisy
was adopted by the Legion as lIs
official flower after three years Of
discussion.
The poppy Of Flanders, a house
hold word throughout America, was
the first choice. They say these
peoples grow in fields where blood
is shed. They flourish In the Eng
lish wheattields about Hastings,
where William the Conqueror beat
Harold of England nine hundred
years ago in the last conquest OF
England. They cover the country
side in Flanders, where the Eng
lish suffered their everest losses
during the world war. There was
no more than the merest scattering
of peoples In the Argonne and about
st. Mihiel, where the American
doughboys beat back the Germans.
Not Native OF America
Moreover this poppy Is not IA.
tive of America. After its adoption
by the Legion 1t was brought into
the country in considerable quantity
and then some experts put out the
information that it was likely to
spread so fast as to become a pest
The harrassed American farmer
came forward with a protest at
once. announcing to all the world
that he already had troubles aplenr
ty with raising wheat for a falling
market. let alone peoples.
Therefore the Legion in its third
national convention last fall chose
the American daisy for it's emblem.
The choice has met wide approval.
1t is a perennial and thrives under
almost any conditions. Children
and top sergeants love it. In guam
tity II affords a glorious mass Of
lively beauty that cheers the heart.
Meanwhile the poppy OF more
sombre memories has by no means
been forgotten. 1t has been adopt
ed by the American Legion AuxU-
larry as the memorial flower or the
world war. The crimson of sacri-
fee that stains its petals will serve
as a long reminder of the struggle
and the victory.

Xeggs Failed To Crack
One Safe Last Night
Knocked Dial OF Strong Box
And That's AS Far As
They Got.

Would be safe blowers gained en-
trance to the offices Of the Manka-
to Manufacturing companys plant
last night and tried to rife the Office
safe, but made a dismal failure OF
it. The attempt to rob the safe was
not discovered until tais morning
about eight o'clock when W. II. VIII
coz, manager of the company, turn
ed from his desk to work the dial
on the safe with the Intention OF
opening it. 1t was with great sur.
prise that he found taat the dial
and one of the levers on the door OF
the safe were missing. An effort TO
open the safe was futile. The po'
lice were notified, and Officer Peter
Wettestad responded. A search OF
the plant disclosed the fact that tle
thief gained entrance through the
boiler room of the plant by break
ing out a pane of glass and then
pulled the catch and raised the win :.
dow. The man evidently blotted out
his tracks in the wet earth by draw
ing something over the ground. This
was plainly to be seen this morning.
Dial Knocked on Safe.
The door leading to the office had
been forced with a crowbar or jim
nile. The dial and one tumbler bar
had BEEN knocked OF the safe door,
and evidently taken away by the
thief. for they could not be found
anywhere about the plant. Tamper-
ing with the dial had set the com
bination so that the thief failed to
gain entrance to the safe which was
later opened, and found to contain
about SIS In cash and a number OF
checks, which had been placed there
at the close of business last night.
Mr.. wilcox stated TO The Free Press
that Just two nights ago there mad
been $500 placed in the safe. Why
the tnief should take away the COM
bination dial and lever Is a mystery.
Manager Wilcox was at the Of
fees of the plant about nine o'clock
last night and at that time as far
as he knows, no one had yet enter
ed the office. Henry Feldbusch, a
at the plant, also left the
place about that time and saw no
thing suspicious. He says that he
washed the CRIME of his work from
his hands and face in the boiler
room a few feet from where the
thief gained entrance, but when ne
left there had been no window OPP
