Tomorrow, May Is, is Poppy Day
for Ely and the ladies of the American
Legion Auxiliary will call on you. Do
not under any circumstances refuse
to buy. You surely can afford a dime
or more to help out this worthy work
Mrs Elsie c. Schaefer, president of
the Auxiliary of David visited Post
in Duluth in asking the people to buy
peoples, gives some information as 70
poppy makers in the Duluth Herald
Herald she says:
Peoples sold by the auxiliaries of
the American Legion and Veterans OF
Foreign Wars were made in more than
a score of Veterans Bureau hospitals
and in auxiliary poppy work shops IN
many cities near hospitals and con-
Valescent centers. In the work Of
making peoples, disabled men receiv-
ing little or no government compenSa-
ton are given preference. The aver
age worker is able TO make 300 pop
pies a day and money thus earned by
these men seems little fortune Every
poppy sold by veterans organizations
bears the particular organization
Sticker.
Perhaps the poppy you buy on the
streets Of Duluth May Is and ~ was
made by man in st. Mary's hospital,
Duluth, who spends nine months Of
every year in a tubercular ward of
government hospital and whose health
has not permitted him to do a fun

from the army
Perhaps your poppy was made by
the man in Speedway hospital at
Chicago who has been confined to his
bed five years with the lower part of
his body in rack. This year he is

LEGION ASKS PROTECTION
FOR ALL ROAD SIGNS.

The road signs put up by the Amer
lean Legion are coming in for their
share Of misuse by thoughtless indi-
viduals- These signs we're erected with
two aims in mind; that of providing
employment for disabled veterans, and
also in hopes that they would make
the streets safer for children.
It is realized that boys will be boys
but it is suggested to the parents of
the community that they stress the
seriousness Of vandalism and depre-
dation of property to their own chill
dren- This applies not only for the
Legion road signs but property In gen.
eral The Legion asks the cooperation
OF the community in this teaching
Talks are being giveE in the schools
in regard to the matter and 1t is hoped
that the citizens of the community
viii do their part. to eliminate further
damage without the use Of stringent
methods on the part Of the Legion

BUY A POPPY

able to move his hands enough 70
fashion the little red flowers. Use
full work and earning money mean
everything to him Or perhaps your
poppy was one Of those made by an
other of the $50 disabled men who
worked on peoples at the Veterans
Bureau hospital at Fort SnelEng-the
man who was facing a serious opera
ton with the chances against him,
who worked late at night before 60
ing to the operating table, so that
whether he lived or died the money
from the peoples might go to his wife
and family.
IF your poppy is especially well
made it may have come from the
hands of half -paralyzed veteran in
the auxiliary poppy work shop in
Minneapolis, who said, 81 am going to
make these good even if make only
fifty day My left hand is paralyzed
and can move the fingers only a
little"
These disabled men have made the
poppy a symbol Of courage TO live.
Such symbolism cannot but have Its
effect in inspiring us to the sacrifices
demanded of all good citizens in peace
times. Those who buy these peoples
do something very real to help the
disabled veterans who in making them
are able to contribute to their own
support. Every one Of the little red
flowers sold means Just that much
brightness brought into some life
blighted by the war"
Forget them not! As years go by,
On our remembrance they rely,
They are the manned, Death did deny
Its solace-crippled blind, they try
To find on earth the peace they know
In Flanders Fields.

Rancocas stables is located, and then
to his Long Island home and New

The booming flash lights Of news
paper photographers hailed hts emer-
gencc from the Jail and reporters
clustered about him anxious for 4

them. II came 70 jail for not talking,

In the courts.
II have JUS: finished serving sen
