Forty thousand artificia) poppies, made by wounded soldiers in the gov- ernment hospitals over the country, have been purchased by the State Poppy committee of the! auxiliary, and have bern distributed to the local auxiliary posts and women's organ- izations throughout the state of Wyo- ming. The purchase of these poppies from the disabled veterans enabies these heroes who are still suffering from the effects of their service to better their condition, and their re- mile throughout the state of Wyo- ming, as well as in other states, at 10 cents each, will serve to raise funds which the auxiliary will use in wel- fare work for the exservice men. Money raised in this manner in Wyo- ming will be spent in Wyoming. In Casper, it is planned to sell the popptes on the streets the Saturday and Monday before Memorial day. They will also be on sale in booths at various points, While the small profit derived by the auxiliary from the sale will be devoted to soldier relief and welfare work, yet the great object aimed at by the women fs to inculcate in the American people the spirit of patriot- ism and loyalty and love of country ‘They feel that if they can be instru- mental in bringing forcibly to the at- tention of every man, Woman and child, through the wearing of a Me- morial Flanders Poppy, the spirit of sacrifice and devotion to duty that was exhibited by the millions of American young men who went into the World war, and awaken the peo- ple to a greater show of the patriot- ism and to the responsibilities that must be accepted through the propér care and attention for the men who were crippled in battle, that they will have accomplished a much needed work. Through the efforts of the auxiliary in Casper, permission. has been se- cured from Superintendent of Schools Slade, and his principals, to explain to the school children the significance of the Flanders Poppy, and the pxtri- otic lessons that ft teaches. ‘This will be in line with the auxiliary's to follow along a thorough ttruction and education in high national ideals, beginning with the children. Price of Drugs Is Criticized WASHINGTON, May 23.—Retail druggists came under fire in the sen- ate for what was described as exces- sive and exorbitant prive charges for medicines.
