POPPY DAYS MAY 1926
Wear a Silent Pledge to the Fight
Ing Men i'm Service

Once again on Poppy Day, May
% and 26, the members of the
American Legion Auxiliary will
dedicate their best efforts to the
distribution of memorial poppies
to the citizens of Smyrna, the
Poppy Chairman announced today.
1t is one of the ways in which they
pay tribute to and keep faith with
those who died in the nations SER
vice. The wearing of the poppy
has become a silent pledge, renew
ed each year that the people of
America have not forgotten the
responsibility they have been CIV
en- by their fighting men of both
wars. Many of these men have
given their lives or their health
for us, and it is with deep graft
tude to them that we set aside a
day on which to honor them and
assure the mthat we remember
our promise. On Poppy Day the
women of the Auxiliary will offer
poppies to everyone. There is no
fixed price for a poppy-whatever
is given is welcome. The little boys
pennies and the business mans
dollar are equally acceptable. 1t is
hoped that every citizen will be
wearing the crimson badge. Every
cent that is given for a poppy goes
toward the rehabilitation of dis
abled fighting men and to the aid
o fthe children of the dead and
disabled. These victims of wars
disaster will be glad to see the
poppies blooming on lapels again
this year. Pppies may be pur-
chased from Jones' Drug Store,
Times Office, both Movie Theatres,
and from girls on the street on
Saturday with trays of poppies for
sale.

FARMERS MAY
USE PRISONERS
Help Can Be Had by Hiring
Prisoners of War I'm
der Contract
AVAILABLE NOW

Contrary to recent statements in
certain newspapers, and on radio
news programs, the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service has
received notification from the
Washington Office that prisoners
of war will be available for work
on Delaware farms this summer.
The number of prisoners that can
be used on Delaware farms, is
somewhat more than were avail
able last year. The War Depart
ment has announced, however,
that prisoners of war cannot be
used on farms unless the farmer
has signed a contract for such
work, before the prisoners are
needed.
Assistance Offered
Captain Biggins of Fort DUPONT,
who is the contracting Officer for
Delaware, will be in the County
Agents Office in the Post Office
Building in Dover each Friday,
from 10 a. m. until 2 p. M, to
meet with farmers who need labor
of this kind, and explain the con-
tract to them, and get their sigma
lures. If weather conditions, or
an increased supply of local labor
make it possible for a farmer to
get along without prisoner help,
his contract can be cancelled at
any time. All farmers who feel
that they may need extra labor of
any kind, or in any amount what
ever, are urged to call at the
County Agents Office on Fridays,
and discuss their needs with the
County Agent or the Labor Assist
ant. If prisoners of war are want
ed Captain Biggins will be on hand
with contracts for that purpose.
Those who are unable to be in Do
yer on Fridays, may call Dover
1886, during Office hours, or Dover
2593, during the evenings.
