AHEAD OF THE CROWD

of the world is in the hands of those who can
blaze trails invent machines, create civilization,
endure hardships, marshal hosts and scale new
heights.
Men seem as alike as the leaves the trees
AS alike the bees in swarming of bees;
And we look at the millions that make up the
state,
All equally little and equally great
And the pride of courage is cowed.
Then fate calls for man who is larger than
men;
There's surge in the crowd, there's move
ment and then
There arises the man who is larger than
And the man comes up from the crowd
The chasers of trifes run hither and yon
And the little small days of small things go on,
And the world better at sunset than
And the still increases it's plentiful spawn
And the voice of our wang is loud
Then the great deed calls out for the great
to come,
And the crowd, unbeleving, sits sulen and
dumb
is come
Aye, the man comes up from the crowd.
There's dead hum of voices, all say the same
And the songs of our fathers are the songs that
we sing,
And the deeds by our fathers and forefathers

And where is the man who comes up from the

Who does the deed and who sings the new

And makes the old world as world that is

And who is the man? 1t is you! 1t is you
And our praise is exultant and proud.
We are waiting for you, there, for you are the

BUY A POPPY
w community and every other community
w in Minnesota will be urged to buy the
Memorial peoples. This has been the practice
for several years and a right good practice it is
These peoples are sold by the American Legion
and its Auxiliary and concerning it Mrs-Donna
Akin, Poppy Director says:
"When you look upon the little red
poppy, what does it mean to you? Just
pretty red flower, does it remind
you of our soldier dead? Let make.
every effort to keep the sentiment
of the poppy uppermost in the minds OF
ALL During the sale, stress the fact that
the poppy is to be Memorial Day
as a tribute to those who rest "In Flan-
ders Fields"
"The poppy has threefold purpose.
First the sentiment it represents, which
should be forgotten second, the
compensation it affords many of our un-
fortunate buddies and their families,
who are paid for making the poppies
tit being a well-known fact that the
American Legion Auxiliary sponsors
nothing but the veteran-made poppy;
third, from the sale of peoples money
is derived to carry on the welfare work
of our organization. In fact, resolu-
ton was passed at the first National
Convention Ut Kansas City, to the effect
that the money from this sale be used
solely for the purpose of aiding in vet
Grams welfare work.
eff it were possible for every men,
Der of this organization to visit one of
the hospitals workshops and watch
the poppy industry among the men less
fortunate than ourselves, the sale would
be of such volume as to make the demand
hard to meet"
