OUR EMBLEM OR REMEMBRANCE

By Wallace WOOtten
Buy a poppy! Buy poppy!
Hear the pleading voices cry
To the loafers on the corner
And the hurrying passers-by.
The people do not hear them
As they hasten on their way,
They have 40 time for flowers,
But please, just let me say
Have they forgotten all the crosses
Row on row in Flanders Field.
Marking graves of brave soldiers
Who to, country life did yield?
Have they thus so soon forgotten
All the heartaches and pain,
When mothers hear that in the
battle
Their dear boys had been slain?
Let us then take up the slogan
Americans, let's not forget.
Well remember and be grateful
Buy poppy, pay your debt.
Artificial poppies are made by in
valid soldiers, located in hospitals
throughout the country. The men
are paid one cent for each poppy.
AS they work. they dream of former
days on the battlefield, of escapades
with other comrades. and then. per-
haps they dream of the day they
we're crippled for life. But through
all their dreams shine those beauti-
full poppies on Flanders Field try
ing to cover the nawed scars of war.
The American Legion and its Aux
Hilary are doing great work. Thous-
ands of unfortunate men are tender
ly cared for in hospitals made poss-
ible largely by the sale of poppies.
These men, once the pride of the
United States. now dependents. Wis
ualize that they are not relying upon
someone else when they are working.
Sometimes work makes them think
OF war, brt more often 1t takes their
mind away from bitter thoughts.
Friends, II we want to do our duty
to our dead comrades and disabled
World War veterans. who paid such
a price for democracy. we should
buy poppy. Poppies. fragile blood
red flowers, dear TO soldiers. are a
true emblem of remembrance and
service.
Let us remember and be grateful
BY buying poppy, true and fitting
!

pork brought mingled thanksgiving
and chagrin to a boy named Benja-
min Franklin, who often became
restless during the long graces
which accompanied Massachusetts
meals. So one day after the pork
had been dutifully stored away, he
suggested that if his father would
only "say grace over the whole
cask, once for all, it would be a
vast saving of time"
In the latter half of the same
century, whenever a feast was in
order in The back country of Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas, young Dan
iel Boone or some other hunter
would 60 out to find venison or bear
meat to mix with pork in the habitu-
al "great stew of such a celebra-
ton. With it were served roast pork
or bear or broiled venison.
Bear and venison are no longer
generally available for the Thanks
giving dinner, but turkey is stiIl one
of the mainstays.

Too good to fight!

Too good to light!
That's the reputation that cost
the Twelfth U. S. Infantry the
right to fight overseas during the
World War.
Ever since its organization IS
years ago, in the Civil War, the
Twelfth has been a crack outfit, so
crack that the War Department,
in 1917, decided the regiment
could contribute more to victory,
by helping train the enormous
army, than by going into the
trenches.
A precisely marching infantry
outfit in the inaugural parade will
be the famous, furious fighting
Twelfth. The uniform of the
Twelfth is regulation drab, but the
regiment has had a glorious career
of smoke and powder.
Distinguishing itself almost IN.
mediately after its formation in
1861, the Twelfth fought like a
tiger at Fredericksburg, Chancel.
lorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilder.
ness, Spottsylvania and Cold Har-
Dor.
When the civil war ended, many
of the regiments earned rest.
