This request will be made of all of us on Poppy Day, Saturday, May 25th, and who, understanding the significance of the little red flower, can refuse? The poppy is the flower that gave the only touch of life and beauty to the World War battle fields and cemeteries. It is the flower of the war dead, those gallant young men who gave their lives in the coun try’s service, and we are asked to wear it in their memory. When obtaining our poppy, we are asked, too, to make a contribu tion for the welfare of the disabled World War veterans, the widows and the children left fatherless by the war. None of us with a dime to our names and a touch of hu man kindness in our hearts can re fuse this request, either. We can only honor the dead, but these liv ing victims of the war are still with us. We can still help them. The Poppy Day requests will be made to us by the women of the American Legion Auxiliary, the wives, mothers, sisters and daugh ters of men who served In the war. They have had the poppies made for us by needy and disabled vet erans, providing employment for hundreds unable to do other work. They will take the contributions we make and, with understanding and sympathy, turn every penny to the service of war disabled and depend ents. Yes, we will “wear a poppy” proudly and gladly. We have not forgotten and we are not un grateful. For one day this blood- red symbol of highest patriotic sacrifice will blaze on our coats, and our coins will be given to help through the coming year those who are living a life of suffering and sacrifice because of service to the nation. txt Card Of Thanks . • Why is a growing calf like a growing crop? Answer: Because the food re quirements of each are so much the same. Scientists are making this point clearer every day through their research into the impor tance of vitamins in animal diet and the need of impurities in the food of plants. These vital impurities are the all-important thing in fertilizing today. They are the rarer elements— boron, iodine, mag nesium, potassium, calcium, lithium. Chilean Natural Ni trate—the only nitrogen that comes from the ground—the ideal side dresser for your crops. strontium and many others. With them your crops produce as Nature intended them to. Chilean Natural Nitrate con tains these rarer elements in Nature’s own balance and pro portion. Chilean’s quick-acting nitrogen, plus its vital impuri ties, make it the safe, sure fer tilizer for your crops. See your dealer for Chilean Natural Nitrate. Two kinds— Champion (granu lated), Old Style (crystals). They are both genuine. Both are natural. And i both give your crops the vital impurities.
