The Powder River post which ts located in Casper will co-operate with the general organization in the sale of these poppies. President Warren G. Harding has given his endorsement of the sale of poppies in a splendid tribute. “I am glad to express my accord with the plan which the Veterans of Foreign Wars have put forth to have the people generally wear a poppy on Memorial day, as a testi- mony of continuing interest and sympathy in the great cause of which that flower has become in a way emblematic,’ says the presi- dent. “I hope the proposal will be generally adopted this year, for it is certainly an appealing testimony of the nation’s continuing sense of its concern for the men who served it during the World war.” > SCREEN STAR IS NOW BRIDE ATLANTIC CITY, N.
