Four Motor Cars
On Way Fairbanks
Two flat~cars, covered over, with a
canvas housing, setting on the dock
siding, have caused many a Sew
ardite the last day or so to wonder if
‘‘The Covered Wagon” had hit town.
Agent Harold Painter set all doubts
to rest when he pointed out last eve
ning that the housing was set up to
protect four motor cars from the
weather. The cars are billed through
to Fairbanks.

A
WANT SERIES
OF BALL GAMES
WITH SEWARD
Members of the Seward American
Legion post say there is enough base
ball material in town to -make up
three good teams, one from the cable
and telegraph office, one from the
legion post and one from the city,
yet no action has been taken by any
one to sponsor a team this spring.
A fund of considerable size, is avail
able in the baseball treasury to start
•work on the diamond and local firms
have volunteered to donate their ser
vices to the cause. It is also stat
ed ample uniforms are scattered
about town to fit out the American
league.
Anchorage has a three-team league
and has already started the sea
son. The Seward Gateway has been
delegated by the Anchorage Base
ball association, to endeavor to arouse
local interest in the game so that
during the season, a series of games
between the two towns, may be play
ed off, either in Seward or in the
Cook Inlet town.
'The Seward post of the American
Legion consists .of a live wire bunch
of young bloods and in all proba
bilities they will,shortly call a mass
meeting of ball tossers in an attempt
to start the ball rolling.

POPPY SALE TO BE
HELD BY AUXILIARY
Preparations are being made by
the American Legion Auxiliary of
Seward to hold a sale of poppies
and wreaths on Saturday, May 30, as
a part of the national poppy day ob
servance. These poppies were or
dered from national headquarters.
The flowers were made by needy and
disabled service men in the hospi
tals of different states.
The greatest burden has been car
ried by the Minnesota Auxiliary De
partment which financed the making
of a million poppies. Kansas had
500,000 and Wisconsin 400,000. This
! extensive production meant that be
tween $25,000 and $30,000 has been
paid to needy men before the poppy
is put on sale. Some of the dis
abled servcie men made these pop
pies at one cent apiece to help sup
port their families.
The first sale of poppies in a large
city was held in Milwaukee, Wiscon
sin, in- 3919, to raise funds for the
homecoming of the soldiers and the
following year the American Legion
there again sold them before Mem
orial Day to raise money for service
work. Since then the poppy has
been adopted as the Legion’s na
tional flower and as a means of help
ing needy members.
