The pop¬ pies blooming amid the destruction of the battle front, among the bare graves of the dead, left an unforget¬ table impression on tlie American soldiers.
When    the    American      division; drove forward in the great offensives of  1918. they entered a region torn by sheUs, death and destruction were I everywhere.   But amid it aU the Ut- I tie wild poppies bloomed on.   When machine gun and shell flre had tak¬ en Its toll from the American ranks, the poppy was nature's floral oflering on the graves of the dead.   To us those  poppies seemed to  symbolize ^ the barve spirit of our fallen coni- ^ rades and when we returned home we made the poppy the memorial I flower of the American Legion I    Poppies, to be worn in tribute to men who gave their lives for Ameri¬ ca in the World War wlU be offered I m Nazareth May 26th by the Ameri¬ can   Legion   Auxiliary   women  and little girls of the local Legionnaires ^ All of the popples have been made I by disabled veterans at the hospltaU and  aU contributions received will go for welfare work of the Legion , and Auxiliary  Ui    aiding    disabled I veterans and dependent families.

I Harrisbarg,—Entomologists, plan: I growers and quarantine offlcials ar^ sometimes accused of being overly I anxious about the risk involved In [ the introduction of foreign pests and' ; the spread of pests in our own coun-, try, according to R H. Bell, director, I bureau of plant industry, Pennsyl- I vania Department of Agriculture,
It is perhaps not generally known,
] he explained,   that  all  countries   in
j which  horticulture  has reached  an
I advanced stage, recognize the men-
i ace of foreign  pests and maintain
I restrictive   measures   against   them
The one point of view which seem.s
to   be  generally  recognized  is   thai
the only efTective way to avoid thes^
pests is to   keep   out.   or   at   least
drastically  restrict   the   importation
of host plants and other carrier^: o'
