POPPY SALE TO HELP DISABLED Ask Citizens to Wear Flower May 29-30 North Shore posts of the American Legion, Department of Illinois, are co- operating with their National and State headquarters in the sale of poppies, and it is hoped that every man, woman and child will wear a poppy on May 29 and 30, in remembrance of the thousands who have "Gone West" as the result of the World war. All money derived from the sale will be devoted exclusively to Service work. The Service department of the American Legion is continually called upon to make expenditures along this line which tax its resources, and as their only means of raising the money to carry on this work is from this source, they are mak- ing every effort to assure a large sale this year. Funds For Service Work The Service department of the Ameri- can Legion in this state alone has been responsible for collecting over two and one-half millions of dollars in claims for ex-service men. They have placed more than twenty thousand men in em- ployment, besides interceding for many unfortunate ex-service men who have been in trouble in some way or other. They have taken care of families of hundreds of .men while their claims against the government was being ad- justed. Many of these families would have been County charges, as the physi- cal condition of the men would not per- mit them to work. Fighting the just claijns of all ex-service people. is the first work of the American Legion. Legion's Official Flower Because of a prejudice which exists in certain states and localities against the sale of poppies as the result of un- dignified and ill-advised selling campaigns conducted in the past by other organiza- tions, it has been decided that all poppies sold under the auspices of the American Legion shall bear some distinctive mark. "The American Legion, Department of Illinois," will be stamped on all poppies sold by the organization in this state. This will guarantee to each purchaser that he is not being victimized by irres- ponsible agencies.
