WOMAN'S AUXILIARY
Tft SELL POPPIES
ARE MADE BY FRENCH ORPHANS
AND THE PROCEEDS OP SALE
ARE  FOR THEIR  BENEFIT
Although the Woman* Auxiliary of
Elmer Johnson Post No. 14 has been
organized for several months, not
many people, unless directly concern
ed, are aware of Its existence. The
purposes of organising an auxiliary
are the same as those of* the Legion
Itself. The outstanding reasons helng to help the soldier and his family,
should they need help, and to guard
the welfare of children.
With these purposes in mind the
Woman's Auxiliary are going to sell
silk poppies Saturday and Sunday pre
.ceding Decoration Day for ten cents
apiece, the money to go Id the French
orphans.
These silk poppies are In imitation
of the French Held poppy which grows
In such abundance there, and are made
by the orphans of the French soldiers
in order to help the-uiBelveB to a certain extent rather than be entirely dependent on charity. These thousands
of French orphans have made and sent
to this country Mn the last yon over
one million of popples.
The red poppy that grows In the
fields was chosen by the American Legion as its flower because bo many of
our boys are lying in France--their
graves graced only by this bright wlWl-
flower. It Is r» markably llt|ting, then.
that on the day set aside to honor our
soldier dead we wear a poppy in me in
»ry of the boys in France. The French
people are taking care of tho cemeteries of American dead and we ought
to feel able to purchase one of these
little poppies to help their orphans.
The following poem wns written by-
Lieut. Col. John McCrae:
In Flanders field the poppies blow between the crosses,
Row on row,
That mark our place:
And in the sky the larks still bravely
singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago we lived. *
Felt dawn, saw sunsets blow,
Loved and were loved.
And now we lie in Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!'
To you, from failing hands-we throw
the torch,
Be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep—
Though   popples   grow     in     Flanders
Field
We shall not sleep.

An ordinance to the effect that Mill

a petition was not decessary to bring
about this move us the street was in
such a condition as to warrant paving
immediately.
Another important matter, that of
the uee of firecrackers and the other
explosives used to celebrate the
Fourth of July, was also discussed, as
many are celebrating too far tn advance. Several places ' in town are
now selling fireworks and the council instructed the mayor to stop the
sale of them until the last week In
June, which they believe will Sfford
sufficient time to purchase them before July fourth.
