ANNUAL POPPY SALE
Disabled Veterans Make The
Little Silken Blossom

During the week prior tt
Memorial Day, throughout the
entire nation, the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars will participate
in the Twelfth Annual Buddy
Poppy distribution, the pri,
mary object of which is to pay
tribute to the nations honoreG
dead.
Every poppy to be sold dur
ing that period by posts of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars has
been made by disabled veterans
confined to government hos
pitfalls.
The aim of the V. F. W., ito
honor the dead by helping the
living established this method
of producing the little red BIOS
SONS with silken petals in
1923, when a national encamp-
ment of the organization ruled
that only those peoples made
by disabled ex-service men
were to be distributed by the
V. f. W..
The Buddy Poppy brings it's
annual reminder, Lest we for
GET and constitutes the V. F.
w. appeal in behalf of COM
rades and their dependents in
distress. Proceeds are used
exclusively for relief purposes.
Local relief work among dis
abled and unfortunate vet
Grams, veterans bureau service
work in their behalf, military
funerals and the maintenance
of graves absorbs all but one
cent of the proceeds from each
poppy. This goes toward the
maintenance and development
of the v. F. w. National Home
at Eaton Rapids, Michigan, an
undertaking created for the
care of orphans of deceased
comrades. The Home assumes
responsibility for the rearing
of these children to become
useful, patriotic American citi-
zens, gives them all the facili-
ties of a public and high school
education, and an opportunity
to learn a vocation or prepare
themselves for professional en-
deavors.
Another interesting feature
in connection with the produc-
ton of Buddy Poppies by dis
abled heroes in government
hospitals is the fact that con-
valescent patients are thereby
provided with a means of earn
ing a small income of their
own. In addition, hospital au-
thorities have endorsed the
practice as a distinct asset to
the treatment these patients
are undergoing, as it keeps
their minds occupied and free
from spells of melancholia or
mental depression.
