“ Iii Flanders Field where poppies blow.”
.
Announcement has been made that Poppy Pay
will he observod in Ashland May 26, 27, 28 and we
will then lie given an opportunity to renew our
faith to those who offered their lives in onr behalf,
when danger threatened.
We are too prone to forget, and it is well that
the little red poppies* may be brought before us
each year—a flaming reminder of those fields of
France which ran red with sacrificed blood and
the proceeds from the sale to be devoted to the
comforts of those who were called on to make—
not the supreme sacrifice—but a sacrifice which has
left them maimed sufferers—unable to take their
place alongside their brothers in the struggle for
existence.
The poppy sale serves a two fold purpose—it
refreshes our memory to* the sacrificial blood shed
on the poppy fields, of Flanders and brings ma­
terial comforts to those who offered their lives and
gave an even sadder sacrifice.

Recently a .young Englishman came to this
country to competo in a track meet at the Univer­
sity of Pennsylvania. He participated in the one
meet; then made the interesting but far from original
comment that Americans are too intense in their
participation in athletics. As a result of that in­
tensity he asserted American college athletes are
“ burnt out” before they reach the age when they
shoidd he at their best,
That was a rather sweeping statement and can­
not be substantiated. - _
Unquestionably there are some young Ameri­
cans, particularly those in college who “ burn”
themselves out with intense participation in Ath­
letics—

pate in sports wholeheartedly and .joyfully, are
The Englishman, who is 22, said that one was
his main competitors in athletics In England was
32 years of age—and how many Americans of 32
might compete in violent forms of athletics.
That is probably true, except for professional
athletics, such as basebull players and boxers, but
ordinarily the American of 32 is following a busi­
ness career just as strenuously, as he did the ath­
letics of his youth.
There has been a lot of voluble generalization
about the effect of athletics on young men of this
country. But accurate information has been woe­
fully lacking.*
Now the Carnegie Foundation has undertaken
a statistical investigation and has sent out question-
aires calculated to elicit further information on the
subject and then we shall be better able to answer
the positive young Englishman.
Harry Leon Wilson whose splendid fiction has
won for him much praise, demonstrates his ver­
satility in a fascinating, descriptive article, “ The
Green I/and,” appearing in a recent periodical. ,
Wilson spent several months in this state and
evidently found it to his liking.
He remarks the sharp contrast evident to all
tourists when approaching Oregon from the south
—the contrast which marks the division between
the artificial beauty of California and the natural,
magnificent wonders of Oregon. He leaves the
hurren, brown, desolate hill and suddenly finds
himself in the lush vegetation of the northern slope
of the Hiskiyous. The grayish green tints and
monotonous hare stretches are absent. Rejdacing
them is the beautiful restful, rich emerald color
of the thickly wooded hills of Oregon. There arc
no more sparse growth of vegetation on drought
retarded land.
With sparkling vividness, and an underlying
vein of satire. Mr. Wilson pays a splendid tribute
to the cities of Oregon with their steady, plodding
development. His sincere tribute to the l>cauties of
the state will add to Oregon’s fame.
Mississippi river flood victims will say dam to
next Congress.
