Annual Poppy Day |
Be Held Saturday
Next Saturday little red pop
pies will bloom on millions of
fleets throughout America. As
the annual day for the wailng
of the poppy draws near, it is
^^1 to bnng to our minds the
aificance of this little flower.
I do we have a Poppy Day?
^^?st, we wear the poppy
I once a year to express the feel
teg of reverence that is always
in our hearts for the men who
died for America in the two
World Wars. The poppy is their
flower. It grew on the battle
fields hi nance and Belgium
where ao many of them fought
and died; it grew over their
fresh grave* ? the one touch of
beauty and life in all that region
of destruction and death known
as the front. Nothing can sym|
Try BISMAREX
for Acid Indigestion. Insist
on genuine BISMAREX and
refuse other so-called Anti
acid Powders, recommended
to be "just as good. BISMA
REX is sold in Watauga
county at
BOONE DRUG CO.
The HEXALL Store
bolize our remembrance of the
sacrifices of the World War dead
in so fitting a way as the wesr
ihc of the porpy.
Second, wr wear the poppy to
help lighten uve burden for those
who are still undergoing suffer
ing and hardships because of the
wars, the disabled veterans and
the families of the dead and
disabled. Making the poppies
gives employment to hundreds
of disabled men throughout the
winter who otherwise would be
unable to earn anything toward
the support of themselves or
their families. If you have sever
visited the men making poppies
in the hospitals, it will be dif
ficult for you to realize that
having these little flowers made
by the disabled is one of the
largest pieces of welfare work
done by the American Legion
Auxiliary.
When you buy your poppy
Saturday, think of the disabled
veteran in a hospital or conva
lescent workshop who has fash
ioned the little blood-red flower.
Think of the fatherless family
whose struggles during the com
ing year will be lightened by the
coin you drob into the poppy
worker's box. Think of the brave
American boys who lie beneath
the waving poppies in France.
Think of tnese things and you
will understand the true signi
ficance of the poppy.
Before World War H. the Phil
ippines supplied about 90 per cent
of the manila hemp entering
world trade.

Gambill's Beat Flour is made
100% from soft r?d winter wheat.
The gluten in ?oft wheat flour is
of less strength than in hard wheat
flour, therefore it takes less short*
ening to "cut" Gambill's Best
Flow gluten.
If you mix dough by "feel" you
can tell when you have enough
shortening in it When you us* a
recipe you can put in less shortening
than the recipe calls for and get
good results.
While you're giving your family
the extra nourishment which Gam
bill's Best provides, you're actually
saving money on shortening, the most
expensive ingredient that goes into
home baking. Remember, there is a
difference in flour . . . that's why
Gambill's Best has been first choioe
of good cooks since 1882.
