This year the Chicago City council has set aside May 28 as Poppy Day and 113 American Legion posts are actively at work planning for the dis- tribution of a flood of crimson poppies to the public in Cook county. These posts, last year, were entrusted with $39,641, the net proceeds of the Poppy sale, but since that time it is stated that these Legion posts have spent $86,000 for relief work among ex- service men and their families both in the home and in hospitals. There was, in addition, appropriated from the De- partment of Illinois of the American Legion, $10,000 for providing small luxuries and comforts for soldiers still in hospitals and $3,500 for the pur- chase of radium for the Speedway hos- pital, the government never having provided the hospital with this essen- tial equipment. It is believed by Legion officials that the American Legion, in spending $43,000 more than was received from the public in relief work has provided a substantial basis for its appeal to the public for support on Poppy Day, May 28. In addition to the relief work car- ried on directly, these funds maintain the American Legion service office at 160 North LaSalle street, Chicago, in which office during the last year nearly 20,000 ex-service men were assisted in one way or another. Urge Correct "Diet" for Vegetables and Flowers Are your plants, flowers and vege- tables on the right "diet"? Nursery- men and professional gardeners say that the choice of the right kind of nourishment for all growing things is just as important as the selection of health-giving foods for developing sound bodies. The prime essential, say experts, is to provide a plant food that will give quick vigorous growth from the first seeding to full maturity. It is the proper balance of plant foods that makes for a thick velvety lawn, hardy full colored flowers, leafy shrubbery and crisp succulent vegetables. Most soils, we are told, lack certain plant foods. But these must be sup- plied for best results in growing. Thanks to modern garden experts and plant food chemists, this is no longer a messy, troublesome process. It is now possible to get plant food that can be applied by hand, just like grass seed. Garden authorities recommend this new kind of plant food. They have found that it combines in concentrated form all the elements needed for rapid. luxuriant growth. By selecting a brand put out by a reputable concern one can have added assurance of enjoying a successful, profitable season with lawns and gardens, flowers, trees and shrubs. IN MOTOR ACCIDENT Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cherry of Ken- ilworth had an automobile accident last Tuesday morning. They left Ken- ilworth early in the morning to motor to Des Moines, Towa, and as they were going through Wilmette their car was struck bv a truck at Isabella street and almost demolished. The driver of the truck failed to see their car until his car struck theirs. Mrs. Leslie McArthur of Oxford road, Kenilworth is entertaining at funcheon and bridge next Tuesday afternoon.
