TEN MILLION
 WEAR POPPY
 ON SATURDAY
Legionnaire Women of Ma ton Mobilized for
 Sales Effort

Millions of Americans tomorrow VIII pay honor to the country's War dead by wearing the little red poppy of Flanders Field. Early Saturday morning an army ot women, estimated at 100000 strong mobilized for this work by the American Legion Auxiliary, will take the streets throughout the nation with baskets filled with the memorial flowers.
 By nightfall, 1t is expected that approximately 10,0O0,O0O persons will wear peoples and that more than $1 100000 will have been received for the welfare of disabled veter- ans and their families.
 The women of Alfred Jo1ln Brad ford Unit, Number 4, of the Aux Hilary, aided by women of other local organizations, will provide the people of Juneau with their peoples. Preparations for the sale have been worked out in such de- tail that no one in the city will be without an opportunity to buy and wear poppy, according to Mrs. R. Reischl, General Chairman of the Poppy Committee. A larger sale of peoples than ever before is expected by the committee
 Of special interest to the people of Juneau and Alaska is the fact that this year the peoples being offered for sale throughout the territory were made by the dis abled veterans at the United States Veterans Hospital, at Walla Walla, Wash, so that many of these that will be worn by Alaskans were made by Alaska veterans. The workers, working in the hospital convalescent work rooms, maintairS ed by the various Auxiliary Units, are paid one cent each for the flowers they produce, and are lim- tied to from 250 to 300 a day in order to prevent their overtaxing tAANh oViCAiSViA dlld dioO tO dlotl ib ute the work among as many men as possible. The making of the peoples is interesting and pleasant work and is of inestimable value to the men in addition to the money it brings them. It helps them to pass the long hospital hours and gives them the satisfaction of be- ing able to do worth while work again
 No set price will be asked for the flowers, each purchaser being al- lowed to contribute any amount he wishes for his poppy. As heavier demands are being made on the Auxiliary this year than at any previous time in its history, the Committee is hoping that more people than ever will Honor the dead and serve the living" b. wearing poppy tomorrow.

Some Radical Reduction in Prices Have Been Made
 Tn Last Five Years
WASHINGTON, D. O., May 22.-

WASHINGTON, D. O., May a.
 The 1926 wholesale dollar was worth $1.364 last month, according to the Department of Labor. The Department found that dollar during the year increased more in rubber purchasing power than any of the other $50 commodities that were covered by the calculations.

 There have been decreases this month in butter, cheese, fresh and cured meats, lard, flour, cornmeal and other foods The only in creases have been in grain and au- tomobiles.
