STORIES THE POPPIES TELL

Peoples, beautiful red peoples, mil
lions Of poppies are being made in
hospitals throughout our land under
the direction of the American Legion
Auxiliary. Many Auxiliary workers
will receive new inspiration this
year as they open their boxes of pop
pies-they will find them uniformly
made perhaps, but beautifully made
and each poppy tells its story.
Some will tell the story of the doc
tor who had lost his power to concen-
trate, due to the effects of war
strain, and had to give up his practice
and go to the hospital for a complete
rest and treatment.
Always in everything he tried to
do, he was handicapped by this lack
Of power to concentrate. One day to
help him pass the time, they brought
him poppies to make-beautlful
American Legion Auxiliary peoples,
and as he learned to make these, step
by step, and then repeat-step by
step and again repeat, he retained his
power of concentration! Now he is
home again, once more able to take
his place in the world of successful
citizens.
Others will tell you Of John, the
disheartened. He had made beautiful
raffia baskets in the Thcrapy Depart
ment of the Soldiers Hospital-he
had made a reed desk, a fernery,
shree lamps and they were for sale.
Always when he went into the Their
apy Department to work, these greet
ed him-there had been no sales.
Discouraged and disheartencd be-
cause he had failed to make someth-
ing somebody wanted, he dropped out
Of the work. The days were long at
the hospital, time dragged.
One day a comrade came to him
Say, John, why don't you come
over to the Therapy Department and
make peoples ?" Not for him, he had
made enough things that nobody
wanted. His comrade then told him
Of the American Legion Auxiliary
poppy program which paid INC for
every poppy made, and assured him
! that it meant sure" money.
Skeptical, but willing to be con-
WINGED that there was paying indus
try being conducted in the Therapy
Department, John went over, and for
four months he averaged $4,000 a
month making peoples. The days
were then too short and his entire
mental aspect changed for he had
| EARNED something, MAKING
something SOMEBODY wanted!
The peoples made by the little Vir-
ginian mother arc begging to tell
their story. She was stranded in
Wisconsin. She had come North with
her husband and two children in early
fall, and soon after January flst her
husband was sent to Soldiers Hospit-
al mentally a wreck.
There was no compensation and she
was lonesome for Virginia. that cold
Wisconsin winter. AS she had the
true Virginia pride, she would not
accept the proffered help Of the
American Legion, but when she was
told she could make peoples for the
American Legion Auxiliary and earn
the money to take her home, she was

PRESS URGED TO AID
DEBT Commission

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-R-
With the approach of funding nego-
tiations on the French debt to the
United States, President Coolidge be-
licves the American press and people
can best serve the end of an equitable
settlement of all yet unfundcd war
debts by reposing confidence in the
ability of the American debt commits
sion to accomplish this.
Convinced that in each case the
commission has accurate information
on the capacity to pay off the several
debtor nations, the President believes
that body can be depended upon both
to. safeguard the interests of the Unit
cd States and to impose no unneceS-
sary hardships on those nations in so
doing. He. sees no reason for the
press to become exercised over the
situation abroad or to entertain any
fears that the government will not
effect an equitable adjustment Of its
foreign debts.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-CR-A lake
steamer. apparently a passenger ship,
was three miles off Lake Forest to-
day after sending up several rockets
which led coast guards to the belief
that it might be in distress.
The Evanston coast guard sent out
a launch TO investigate but no report
came from it after it reached the YES

The Great Lakes Naval Training
Station reported itself unable to reach
the steamer by wireless.
Only two steamers would have been

HERBERT HAYES
CHAIRMAN q:
RED CROSS
Succeeds Late W. X. Ewing
as Head Of Bexar
County Chapter.

Herbert J. Hayes, secretary-man-
ager Of the Security Building Loan
Association, was chosen chairman Of
the Bexar County chapter of the
American Red Cross to fill the unex-
pired term Of the late W. X. Ewing
at meeting Of the organization.
Mr.. Hayes first official act was to
appoint a committee TO draw up reso-
lutions Of respect and concentrating
the work of the organization under the
guidance Of Mr.. Ewing.
Another important feature Of the
meeting was the decision not to hold
the annual roll call for the raising Of
funds TO finance the organization. 1t
was brought out in the discussion that
it would be violation of the agree
ment entered into by various orsaniza-
tons in the Community Chest.
The apportionment of the Bexsr
County chapter of $500, based on its
expenditures of the past two years,
does not include the Army Post chap
ter of the Rcd Cross.
Prior to closing the meeting Mrs.
Adell Stackee requested volunteers for
the knitting of 80 sweaters for dis
abled soldiers. National headquarters
has asked for 10000. San Antonio's
quota is 80. They are for disabled
veterans in the hospitals. ....-.,

HOLD
COTTON FOR
HIGH PRICE
Commissioner Says Texas
Crop Will Amount to
3,675,OOO Bales.

AUSTIN. Sept. 19.-CP)-Approxi--
mately 100000 bales of cotton have
been ginncd in Texas this year and
about $4,000 bales have been sold,
George B. Terrell, commissioner Of
agriculture, said today.
About 20 per cent of the crop is be-
ing held for better prices by co.opcra-
tive companies and individual farm
ers. said Mr.. Terrell.
Careful tabulation of the reports
of our correspondents indicates the
Texas cotton crop will be about g.
675.000 bales" he said. mo amount
of rain will increase the production Of
cotton in Texas this season but heavy
rains or early frosts may materially
reduce the production.
The present price of cotton is be-
low the cost of production and if the
total crop Of this year in the United
States is not more than 13,0OO,0OO
bales, the price should advance TO so
cents pound.
domestic consumption and exports
of American cotton amounted to a.
100000 bales during the cotton year
just closed and unless the crop this
year should reach 14,0O0,0O0 bales.
there will not be enough cotton to sup
ply the demand and the price will adj
vance.
Reports made by the commissioners
of agriculture of the cotton growing
states at the meeting in Memphis. Sep
TENDER IA, show that the total cotton
crop will be 12,937.0 900 bales"
Commissioner Terrell said he be-
lievcd the total cotton production in
the United States would be about
equal to the federal governments cs
innate. despite the drouth in so cotton
growing counties of Texas.
