WEAR A POPPY

The last week of May has been set
aside as poppy week throughout the
State of Maryland.
The poppy is an emblem of sacri-
flee, those who love it are making
every effort to teach the public all
over the country the true meaning of
the flower.
The world in general has forgotten
the war, and if the poppy will, in the
season of Memorial day, make the in
different public remember the sacri-
fees which have been made for it by
the men who gave their life that our
country might be saved, then indeed
the first and greatest mission of the
poppy sale has been fulfilled.
1t is also well for the public to be
reminded that the war is not over
for thousands of former fighting men
who are now in hospitals, nor is it
OVcA lOI TIC WIlG VI lttlC CLIluiCLI
who need. assistance as the result of
the inability Of some men to care for
them.
The drive for the sale of peoples is
sponsored by the American Legion.
They are made by war venerans,
still serving their country, but in
Government Hospitals, as the result
of the late war.
Of the funds received from the sale
Is per cent is given to disqualification;
so per cent to child welfare, and Is
per cent to each unit.
The making of these little artifici-
al flowers gives employment to those
unfortunate war sufferers in Hospit-
ais, and they are a means of rehabi-
tating support of National Welfare,
and the Poppy work solace to those
men whose broken lives must be
spent behind hospital walls.

GIVE THE CHILDREN A
GARDEN

At this time Of the year child
rem generally delight in dig
ging into the soil and respond
quickly to the suggestion that
they may have a garden plot.
Hence, while one may be put
to considerable trouble to pro-
vide such a plot and may find
that the finished product is not
as artistic as it might be, yet
the benefit to the child will
more than repay one for the
effort.
Children instinctively like
flowers and often get quite a
thrill from their culture. Boys
will be found, in most instances,
to be more enthusiastic over
vegetables than flowers, but
they should be permitted to
raise flowers also if they SO
desire.
One spring a small two-year-
old boy was walking through
his fathers garden smelling
the tulips which stood as tall
as he. Presently he espied a
particularly attractive tulip
in a bed which he could barely
reach from the walk. In pull
ing it toward him he was
startled to find that the flower
had come off in his hand. He
looked all around to see If any
one was observing him, then
tried to stick the flower on the
stem. Failing in this he buried
the evidence in the soil nearby.
Children should have some
supervision, although much
can be left to their own initia-
tive. They enjoy planting
seeds and bulbs and setting out
plants, although cultivating
the soil and pulling the weeds
does not appeal to them strong
|ly. A moderate amount of
care should be insisted upon
and children should be encour-
aged to have their own indi-
vidual garden plot. This may
play a very important part in
their education.
Vegetables which require
little space should be selected
and especially those whose Gull
tural requirements are simple.
AS to flowers, the common
ANIMALS will be found most
practical for beginners, al
though the bulb plants such as
gladiolus, crocus, narcissus and
tulips will be found of interest,
especially those which bloom
in early spring. AS children
gain experience and interest
they may grow some of the
common perennials such as
iris, peonies, columbine, sweet
william and similar types.
