WILD FLOWER OF FLANDERS
FIELDS is EMBLEM OF TRlB-
UTE TO BOYS WHO FELL

In France and Belgium, the cOun-
tries you have heard SO much about,
the people lived happily, enjoying the
freedom of their beautiful country,
when one day came vast numbers of
German soldiers who laid waste their
land The huge guns of the Germans
did not spare anything, homes were
wiped out, families separated, and
thousands gave their lives at this time
The United States entered into this
sending our boys across to help turn
the enemy back that liberty might
prevail in the world. AS we all know
many of our men were killed or died
i'm service over there and now lie
buried in the soil they helped to save.
In the spring of 1919 after the war
on Flanders Field, where the firing
had been terrific and thousands of our
boys had fallen in battle, in the midst
of complete devastation, the peoples
came up i'm abundance The French
women tell you today that the poppy
is significant Of the sacrificial blood
of the boys who fell in Flanders
Field. Those who have travelled thru
France since the war tell us it is
peculiarly true that where the battle
was the fiercest, and the bloodshed
the greatest, the poppies to this day
grow more prof1se.
From this beautiful superstition
comes the true message of the poppy
the message from the boys who fell,
as expressed most beautifully in Col
onel McRae's verse WE SHALL
NOT SLEEP.

coURsE-NEW CLUB HOUSE

John e. Mitchell upon arriving from
ST. Louis last week Immediately as
sumed the management and supervis-
ion of the details connected with the
building of the Eagle River Country
Club and golf course, upon which pre-
liminary work was started last fall
A large number of men and teams and
tractors are now at work finishing the
preparation of the grounds for seed
ing, water pipes are being laid all
over the course driveways built and
many other things necessary for pub
lie recreation place that will entertain
thousands Of people annually.
Einar Jahnscn was the lowest bid
der for constructing the club house
building and the ground has been
staked out for that. 1t will be of
frame construction and 40 feet
square. The major portion Of the
building will be utilized as social
hall, dancing and other purposes to
which polished hardwood floors will
admirably adapt it.
Other rooms will be a lOun yjng and
smoking roomb and men and women's
dressing rooms. A. commodious and
well equipped kitchen and competent
chef will look after the hungry golfers
when they have made the rounds of
the links. A large veranda giving a
view of the start and finish of the
course as well as a picturesque view
of Eagle River and the immediate vic
Unity will be very appealing to visit
ors after they have finished their play
The club house will occupy an ideal
location on a high plateau surrounded
at the back by magnificent grove
of pine trees, reached by means of a
graveled driveway, and will afford
parking space for cars and also de-
lightful shaded spots for lunching or
lounging out doors.
The building will be electric lighted
throughout as we'll as furnished with
a complete water system, including
Oe%OA0s CbNs
The cost of the building will be
approximately 100000 and that and
the golf course proper will when com
pleted and ready for public use, mean
great deal to Eagle River and its
business places in that it will be the
means Of attracting many more peo
pl& to tsaWn for several months each
year.
The membership list is now nearly
filleu and applications now Cd but
which have not yet been acted upon
will insure membership to the limit
by the time the course is available
and which will be in early fall of this
year.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Nit
chell who drew the design for a cut
and had it made, the Review is en-
abled to reproduce it herewith and
gives very accurate view of the 10
cation and appearance of the build
ing as it will be when completed.

In Flanders Field the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below
We are the dead.
Short days ago we, lived, felt dawn
saw sunset glow
Lived and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields
Take up your quarrel with the foe.
To you from failing hands we throw
The Torch be yours to hold it high
If We break faith with those who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples
grow
In Flanders Field.
Because of this close association to
the supreme sacrifice made by the
boys who fell in France, the poppy
has become the Memorial Flower Of
the American Legion and the Auxili-
ary- the emblem of faith that is being
kept through service to the living.
