active until five weeks prior to
death, when an operation required
that he go to a hospital. His son
and daughter and later his son and

interest was in agriculture and
stock. At intervals he was engag-

Minneapolis, and following their
marriage they settled in a home
on the north side Of the river,
where they have lived most Of the
time. In 1920 they sold their home
and moved to Minneapolis. When
business brought them back to

The 1910 census figures applied to
the senate and house representa-
ton of the various counties in the
state show how extreme this in
equality is. Hennepin County av-
erages 63,211 people per senator,
while Wabasha County has 1858
people per senator. There are said
to be several districts within Hen

house representation the highest

to put into effect the simple, dem

to forget their drill. Monday the

Hard baked and dried out in
the summer under the southern
California sun, it's a barren, sage
brushy spot, but freshened in win

palm trees dotting the residential
section add a tropical touch. In
fact it is at the western most ex-
tension of the American Desert.
A tremendous tent city" has
mushroomed up over a large area
in the past months. The new
training center will have six post
exchanges; one central exchange
and one for each regiment. Each
regiment will have it's own recrea-

for regimental programs and
church services.
First run movies will be shown
in the center's 80 by 200 feet theatre
tent. Provision has been made for
outdoor basketball and volley ball
courts, and soccer and touchball
fields.

Poppy Day Sales Will Bring
Memories of World War Dead

Memory OF Americas war dead
in the first World War will be
honored here May % and "a, when
everyone will be asked to wear a
memorial poppy in tribute to their
service and sacrifice.
Plans for observance of Poppy
Day are being completed by the
Ypsilanti unit OF the American Le-
gion Auxiliary under the leadership
Of Mrs. Charles Olmsted, Poppy
Day chairman. The memorial
flowers. made by disabled war vet
Grams, will be offered on the streets
throughout the day by the Auxil-
larry women.
This year, with the threaten
ing shadow Of a new World War
falling across America, the memoir
ial poppy has new significance
said Mrs. Olmsted. 'It shows
that America still remembers and
honors those who fell in its de-
tense twenty three years ago; that
Americans still believe that Amer
ica's free way OF life is worth any
sacrifice. and that the spirit OF
patriotism still burns strongly in
American hearts.
The poppies grew on the battle
front in France where the young
men Of America defeated the mil
itary might of autocracy in gal
liant display OF the strength OF
aroused democracy. When We
wear them on Poppy Day their
bright red blooms will remind us
that our democracy has the
strength to repell any dangers if
we will serve as they served. There
is inspiration for us all in the
poppy of great memories.
The peoples which the Auxil-
larry Will distribute here have been
made by disabled veterans. All
Poppy Day workers will serve as
volunteers and all of the money
contributed to, them for the flow
ers will go into the welfare funds
of the Auxiliary to carry forward
the Auxiliary's work for the dis
