POPPIES WILL BE SOLD IN WRANGELL SATURDAY
 RELIEF SERVICE MEN

Once every year as Memorial Day approaches, red poppies are sold throughout the land by the -4.uerican Legion and tie American Legion Auxiliary. The poppies signify that those who made the supreme sacrifice on Flanders Field are remembered and those who live still, maimed and shattered by the war are not forgotten; that their deeds live as vividly in the minds of the nation as the brilliant red of the poppy.
 In 1920 the American Legion adopted the poppy, which waves in crimson masses in Flanders fields, as its memorial flower. At its or ganizing convention in Kansas City, in October, 1921, the American Legion Auxiliary adopted the poppy as its memorial flower and pledged the profits 100 per cent to welfare relief for the service men and women and their families
 The poppy is now the memorial flower of the French, British and Canadian World War Veterans or ganizations. The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary cannot claim sole right to the poppy, for the poppy is Gods flower and cannot be copy righted It has been chosen by other or ganizations, but the American Le- zion and the American Legion Auxiliary can always claim to have been the first large national or ganization of this country to have adopted this flower
 The poppy has won place In the hearts of people all over the world, and every year through the annual sale the American pub lie is afforded the opportunity of purchasing the poppy thus helping those for whom the war is not yet over, and of wearing it in memory of all who died in service.
 Mrs. S. C. Shurick, chairman the poppy committee of the local Auxiliary, has arranged that flow. CTS will be placed on sale next Saturday at the various stores and business houses in Wrangell, and the usual large sale is anticipated

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK 2

That dues paid into a Chamber of Commerce is an investment, not an expense.
 That a Chamber of Commerce is a business organization the purpose of which is to increase business, advertise the community it re. presents to the outside world, develop a community spirit, extend trade territory, interest people in the mining sections, help to build roads, attract tourists, and initiate ard carry out all big problems that go to make the home community better place in which to live and prosper.
 That every business concern is spoke in the wheel of progress in the home city. The stronger the wheel the greater the load it will carry.
 That strange to say in every city there are some business men who are not active members of the Chamber of Commerce, but are per fectly willing to take advantage of it's service.
 That another class are perfectly willing to take things as they come and live off the enterprise of their neighbors. They are men who reap a reward from the work done by the energetic few, never giving credit to the source of the pros perity they receive.
 When all the business men of community pull together there Is nothing within reason which can not be accomplished-Seward Gate way.

SEATTLE MINING CLUB
 PLAN TO STIMULATE
 INTEREST IN MINING
{ Editorial in Seattle

{ Editorial in Seattle
 Post-Intelligencer) )
 The Seattle Mining Clubs plan to aid prospectors in their pioneer ing in the mineral lands of the Northwest should further stimulate the interest in mining matters, just now so apparent locally and about the country. The furry over the gold discoveries in the Cass1ar mining district of British Columbia also arrives in time to feed the revived public taste.
 It was two seasoned and undis- couraged prospectors that uncover ed the traces of gold in the old Cassiar mining district, last fall, and who will perhaps be responsible for the addition of much new wealth to the stock of the world. At any rate, the gold hunters are nnow pushing toward the Cassiar in large numbers, and presenting the phenomenon of an old time gold rush.
 B,.t the Northwest literally bris- ties with prospects, not only of gold, but of silver, lead, copper, and other valuable minerals that have remained hidden in remote places for perhaps thousands of years, and are waiting only for the patient and plodding pros pector to discover them, and add to the worlds store.
 There is excitement in the quest for sudden wealth that gets into the blood, and marks the prospect or for life. Whoever heard of a seasoned prospector settling dowl to permanently calm and dull life of trade, waiting for some body to come along and buy his goods?
 The prospector is tfe trained bloodhound of mineral wealth.. Without his courageous and patient service the world would be much poorer than it is. The Seattle Mining Club, composed of men who have, many of them, followed the chase themselves. is proposing tc stake" some of the boys to nev exertions. We hope that a fair 'tnu practical plan for such hell may be developed here.
 Mineral wealth is scattered about the whole Northwest and Alaska. We know it because much of it thrusts itself above grounds and bids for attention. And there are hundreds of millions more waiting for discovery. The prospector i; the instrument for national servic in this matter. All he wants is ta be "unloosed" fully grub-staked Seattle Post -Intelligencer.
