Wear A Poppy ' '
Memorial Day this year is
fraught with deeper meaning than
ever before t On that date forty-
four states, through the celebra-
tion of Poppy Day, will unite ev-
ery part of our country—North,
South, East and \Vest, in unani-
mous joint tribute to those who
fell in the \Vorld “'ar.
Memorial Day in its origin was
the day set apart to do homage to
the dead of the North in the strug-
gles of the sixties. But as time
has affected the thought of sec-
tional differences, it has come to
be the day on which we, as a na—
tion, honor the memory of all our
soldier-dead.
Five years ago we saw in a
united country banded inalienably
in the cause of right, the' gift of
the men who fought on the side of
the North, and the men who
fought on the side of the South.
This year in Poppy Day we have
throughout the nation the tangi-
ble manifestation of that gift in
the poppy as the memorial flower
of those who fought side by side
for the ideals and principles for
which we, the United States,
stand.
That is the national significance
of the Poppy. But it has still a
deeper significance. It is the in-
ternational memorial symbol. In
all the countries which consti-
tuted the allied and associated
powers in the \Vorld War, the
peoples of these coun tries,
through the wearing of the poppy
on a day in keeping‘with their
own national traditions, will do
homage to the memory of those
who fell in the great conflict.
The poppy symbolizes the gold
stars on the service flags of our
country. It also symbolizes the
blue stars of those thousands on
thousands who willing to give
their lives, gave more, perhaps, in
their shattered health and impair-
ed future. In each country the
Poppy Day movement is conduct-
ed by a leading organization of
ex-scrvice men for the benefit of
their disabled comrades.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
of the United States is sponsoring
Poppy Day in the United States.
The poppies used in the ofiicial
observance of the da . are them-
selves significant -- , e work of
our own disabled soldiers or
shipped direct from France, the
work of the women of the devas-
tated areas. The proceeds from
the Poppy Day sales will be devot-
ed to the establishment of a relief
fund for ex-service men through—
out the country.
Wear a poppy. Let it be our
.‘ation’s silent and supreme
. tribute.

Keeping Down Prlges
A textile manufacturer was
quoted in trade news recently, in
a complaint because retail mer—
chants and their buyers make so
much effort to keep the prices of
goods down. He felt that the av-
erage consumer is willing to pay
the price for novel goods, and
that merchants should encourage
the distribution of new and ori-
ginal styles even if they do cost
a little more. -
He complained that as a result .
of the economical spirit of the
star uyers, manufacturers are
com ed to stick to standard
goods on which there is the sharp-
g't competition and the les‘st pro~

If people Spend their money on
novelties and style changes, they
won’t have to'spend it on neces-
sities or will not be able to save
it and put it into banks. This will
mean that producers running on
