Beneath the poppy with its blush of red, _ A benediction seems to shed over its glorious dead. And row on row each cross of white, Bought at the cost of a precious life. As over the top these brave youths went, For God and country they were sent. Far from home and friends so dear, : They gave their lives that we need not fear For our precious country, we hold so dear. As long as the stars and stripes unfold, To the morning sun, and its setting in gold. Brave hearts will keep tune to the beat of the drum, | When the call of our country says come, | Flagders tonight is calm and still, Not like the Flanders that gave you thrill. No more the tramp of tired feet, No more the sighs from hearts of grief. So they laid you away, in Flanders Field, As the shadows of evening began to steal, Sleep on, Oh soldier! So brave and true, While above you waves your own Red, White and Blue. : . ANNA E. CORCORAN, Historian Arthur Sawyer Post 28, American Legion. Key West, Florida.

LEARNS MEANING OF “PLAYING POSSUM” (iy Associated Press) SALINAS, Cal., Nov. 11.—The keeper of this city’s Central park {zoo has learned at first hand what “playing possum” means. He accidentally struck one of the animals with a,rake. It rolled over apparently lifeless and he buried it in a shallow grave. A newly dug tunnel shortly revealed the animal has snapped out of his! ‘apparent demise and escaped. POPCSSOOOOO SSS OSORLESOOSELSOOOECLLODOLOLE But Mowery Now Writes About Wild Places Z eeeccccoce eee William Byron. Mowery, writer] + of stories about the woods and outdoors, was himself born in the “backwoods” country but through. out his childhood wanted to escape from an environment he thought! “eruel and barbaric.” He is the author of The Citizen's next serial, “Forbidden Valley.” At the age of 11 he left his family’s migratory, “chicken-wag- on” home and started out to see the world. For 18 months he tramped about the country, visit- ing 30-odd states. After a win-! ter’s trapping in the Athabasca country, he roamed the United States for another two years and) then entered high school at 15. Yearning. for “civilization” was: Fesponsible for his graduation from Ohio State University and the University of Illinois, where he joined the ‘English department faculty, later going to the Uni- Versity of Texas in a similar posi- tion.

There would only be five councilmen elected, the five highest instead of seven as at present. From this five a mayor would be selected, and he in turn would appoint a chief of police, police captain, and other officers. As a consequence the candi- dates for mayor, chief of police, captain of night. police, tax col- lector and others, no matter who was elected, would have spent. their time and money for noth- ing, and it would be left to one man to select these officials. In view of the fact that the voter as a rule does. not know what this amendment to the char- ter is all about, it might be well for him to put an X mark in front of “NO” to the charter amend- jment, unless, of course, someone will come along and.tell-him what it is all about. ‘ You. hear no one advocating the passage of this amendment, no one talking about it, no one responsible} for it, and it seems to be “a nig- ger in the wood pile.” Let’s kill it with a great big “NO.” When the citizenship of this city have selected men to handle their affairs they want them to serve.
