The Auxiliary wo- are making extensive prep- the observance under the leadership of Mrs Polley, Poppy Day chair- day Edna man. The poppies, made of crepe per by disabled veterans, will be offercd on the sireets by volunteer work: from the Auxiliary Unit and cooperating organizations. The “Poppy Girls” will distribute the flowiers in the business district and wiil also ters . Contributions for the he disabled veterans and needy of veterans will be change for the flowers “Wearing a poppy tribute to the men who gave their service,” Mrs. Polley scid. “By ving a popp: on the coat on Poppy Day, all can show that they still remember and asked { honor the sacrifices made for Amer- old time form and is one of the In-| dians’ leading run getters. Knick- erbocker, Hale, Pytlak and Sulli- van have been pounding the ball well enough to keep c~ the sunny side of the .300 mark. Johnny Allen has been pac ng the club's pitchers. The former Yankee is happy to be with his old boss, Steve O’Neill, once more. John- ny was with Toronto a few years ba when O'Neill was managing that team and doing his share of catching.” He gave Allen many pointers and at the same time learn- ed how to handle the square-jawed hurler. Allen is anxious to get a crack at his former teammates, but, oddly enough, he is anxious to beat them now because he feels hurt about being traded to Cleve- land, but because he wants to show O'Neill that he got the better of the bargain. STEVE POPULAR Everyone expected that Steve would be popular with the fans in Cleveland for, after all, he spent the best days of his baseball lif; in a Cleveland uniform and was most popular as a player. But, judging by the reception he re- ceived from the fans in Yankee Stadium Steve has many friends and well wishers all around the c! cuit, The players are willing and anx- ious to hustle for O'Neill for they know well that the former catcher can be depended on to go to bat for them should the occasion He'll back his men to the and they know it. Cleveland hasn't had a pennant winner since 1920 and the town is hungry for another. It would be a grand thing for the game if O'Neill did bring his hustling band under the wire first. It can be done. Plenty of managers have done the same thing in their first full season on the job. e SHOTGUN CLUB limit, arise, | SHOOTS SUNDAY The Juneau hold one of its regular shoots Sun- day at its recently improved shoot- ing range on Glacier Highway, it was announced today.

SAY I'M HARD TO PLEASE There’s no doubt I am critical ... particularly about coffee. And I've had plenty to say about the brands we've been trying to like at our home. They were certainly minus everything I thought coffee should have. Finally my wife said, “Lis- ten! Why put up with it any longer? I'm going to buy the best coffee regardless of what it costs!” Well, she came home with a can of Hills Bros. Coffee, and let me tell you its flavor was miles ahead of any cof- fee we had been using. But here is the big surprise I got ...even though Hills Bros. Coffee was the best we'd tasted, the price was practical- ly the same as most of thoste other brands we had been buying. Can you beat it?
