meDt made by Reuel w. Elton, ad-
jutant general of the organization,
to the effect that all America seems
to have adopted the poppy as an In

the flowers the overseas veteran or

vastated area and people who wear
the v. f. w. poppy will be wearing
a replica of the flower that grows on
American graves in RomaIgne made

quarters as many people MS lnhablt
