WEAR A FLANDERS POPPY.
IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
In Flanders Geki the poppics blow
Between the crosses, row'on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below,
We are the Dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loveil, and now wolio
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the fos
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high,
If yo break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
JOHN MCCRAE.
The foes to be met to-day by ex-service men consists of physical disability, trade depression and consequent unemployment, This distross is shared by their dependants. Take up this. quarrel by giving a little more for your Poppy than you did last year.
