Red Topples bloom again on Stewards streets, reminding us that for scores of "our boys the was is not yet over; never will be over.
 Today the Topples will be sold and the money thus raised used to make life a little more bear able for sick and wounded ex- soldiers. The American Legion Auxiliary Pest, No. 5. Seward, is conducting the ceremony.
 For most of us the great con- flict of. 1914-191S is history; to many, lying crippled and brok- en in hospital beds, it is as poignantly present as it was many years ago-T weary years of pain and hOpelessness. Never mind what the war &C., cCrplished, if it accomplished anything. Don't let your cyni- cism about war blind you to the fact that these boys DID fight for you; that they DID get smashed in the brutal conflict that cOnvulSed the world with rage-for you.
 A Red Poppy in your button hole today shows that you DO care; that you haven't forgot ten the sacrifice these lads made on what we called "the alter" of their country"
