'I he American Legion poppy not only gives wh a means of rendering personal tribute to the memory of those brave young men who sacrificed their lives for America, It ulso gives us a means of aiding those who also sacrificed hut are still within reach of our hplp. From the unnual wearing of the little flower come benefits reaching into every corner of tiie country and touching the lives of thousands of unfortunate men, women and children. The vast program of welfare and rehabilitation work carried out by the American Legion and Auxiliary draws its principal support from the poppy. The dimes, quarters and half dollars we drop into the coin boxes of the poppy workers supply the meuns for local, state and national activities for the benefits of disabled veterans and the families left In need through the death or disuhillty of veterans. The Poppy Day contributions make aid available during the other 304 days <?f the year to those who still are paying in steady installments the war's bitter debt of suffering mid privation. When we pin on our poppies this ; >ear. there should come to us all u vision of the part we are giving in the effort to heal tiie nation's war j wounds. We should look upon our poppies not only sis flowers of memory for the dead hut as flowers of hope for the living. :? i FLORIDA CONSIDERS PLANS TO CONSERVE THE ALLIGATOR Jacksonville, Fla., May 11.?With the picturesque saurians fast disappearing.
