YANKEES CRAVE
TOBACCO DURING
WORK IN TRENCH
Telegraph Fund Grows Stead
lily For Benefit of Our
Fighting Men

Sir Walter Raleigh, as we know,
Was famous in his time;
He wrote history of the world
And many a nifty rhyme.
But what we love him for the
most
All generously hearted folk
Is that he found tobacco,
so you all can buy a smoke.
And buy that smoke for the Yanks
over in the trenches and out in the
camps. The redolent, soothing aroma
from our good old Virginia leaf, the
same that nipped the nostrils of old
Walt Raleigh a couple of hundred
years ago. is what the boys crave
when they have emerged from those
deathtraps over in Belgium and
France. Read some of their letters
and you will see that tobacco has its
place as a necessity in an army. And
IS 1t not far better than any sort OF
stlmulant? Sure. Smoking is the
only luxury to be had. The aviators
who are doing so much to blot out
forever the savage Hun smoke even
while they drop their bombs. The
men crowded in the trenches, some-
times with dirty water up to the
waist, solace themselves with a Gig
aret. 1t is about their only leavcn
in a horrible existence.
The Harrisburg Telegraph has
received a generously decent sum
from the generous readers, but mucn
more will be needed. For every
twenty-five cents contributed the
American Tobacco Company gives
forty-five cents worth of tobacco.
Come on and lend a little teamwork.
The soldier boys abroad who want
their own American tobacco will
bless you.
The following contributions have
been received by the Harrisburg
TelegraDh tobacco fund.

an official shows that he is unfair.
For the sake of sports and future
success in athletics, it would have
been wise on the part of Tech to call
off to-day's game at Steelton.
Reading pulled one over on Har-
risburg in planning for the opening
of the live bird shooting season. The
big match next Saturday at Reading
will bring together many crack wing
shots. Harrisburg will have a shoot
later on. The big event of course will
not take place until February %.
According to, reports, rabbits have
been getting scarce. Hunters say that
DIP to the present time more rabbits
have been killed this season than
during any previous year. Birds have
been scarce for some time, and few
big bags have been reported in this
vicinity.
With Frank Peters looking after
the gymnastic work at the p. r. r.
Y. M. c. A, interest in various
athletics is on the increase at that
institution. He will have some prom
ising young material to look after.

HOW HIGH FREIGHT
 RATES AFFECT YOU

Commissioner w. M. Taylor of the Pine Bluff Traffic bureau, in his issue this week of the bureaus weekly cir cular letter, thus graphically shows how freight rates add considerably to Pine Bluffs burden, in combating the high cost of living:
 "A car of fresh meat from Kansas City costs Pine Bluff $65 more than Memphis!
 "A car of lard and dried meats from Kansas City costs Pine Bluff $52 more than Memphis.
 From Omaha-Mcat, $72.S0 more than Memphis; lard, $59.80 more than Memphis.
 "The above is an example of freight rates making the prices of commodi- ties higher in one community than in another.
 "At an average excess cost of $55 per car, Pine Bluff pays in week $550, and in year $28,600 more for meats and lard than Memphis.
 "So in the last ten years we have paid the railroad companies approxi- mately $2S6,000 more for hauling our meats and lard than has Memphis paid.
 "It is such matters as this that arc continually before us.

FOOD SITUATION IN
 BRITAIN IS ACUTE:

London, March 23.-The food uues- tlon is pressing daily with increased intensity on British subjects, and, ac- cording to authoritative reports, few days will see new and drastic steps on the part of the food controller, Lord Davenport, to meet the situation and prevent exploitation of the public by traders.
 The controller announced in the house of lords yesterday that al- though the voluntary action of the people had brought excellent results, much more in this direction is re : auired, otherwise it might be neces- sary to resort to compulsory ration ing, which would be national calam- ity. He was very anxious of avoiding this, owing to the tremendous ma chinery needed, but this machinery, however, was ready, he said, if re- quired.

Little Rock, March 23.-The state textbook commission has set May 10 as the date upon which bids for uni form series of textbooks for the state are to be closed. The board will then meet on May Il and 12 to consider the bids. It was decided that the book companies should submit a check for $1,50O accompanying their bids, as an evidence of good faith.
 It was decided that all hearings of the commission shall be in public in the governors reception room, except that each company though its repre- sentatives may have one private inter- view with each member of the com mission on each subject for adoption.
 A resolution was adopted requesting all companies that may submit books for adoption to furnish the commits sion a list of their representatives, and that only such bona-fide agents shall appear before the commission; and "that no other persons be employed or used to try or attempt, in any way by political influence or otherwise, to influence the members of the com mission in the matter of selection oi any book or books"

COMMERCE CHAMBER BANQUf1s TINKER
 AND HIS PLAYERS
Event Takes on Nature of
 Patriotic Demonstration by Singing America" ;"

Members of the Columbus baseball club and all other members of the Columbus party were entertained last night at the Hotel Pines by the cham Der of commerce with banquet that was ono of the most thoroughly en- ioyable that could be imagined.
 There was no speeeh-making, Vice President w. w. Taylor of the cham Der of commerce speaking only few words, and concluding by requesting that the entire party, guests and hosts, rise and join in singing America" thus to evidence the spirit of pa triotism so rampant now in this coun- try.
 Led by the strong and rich baritone voice of Player Bradley, the anthem was sung in excellent style, the tones ringing clearly through the hotel from the dining room. And it was really remarkable that apparently there was not a man in the entire party who dld not know the words of the patriotic song.
 Promptly at o'clock the party en- 3tered the dining room. A delicious and excellently served eight-course dinner was enjoyed, while the mem hers of the party "got acqualnted' one with another, and chatted among themselves. In cosy corner to them selves were the ladies of the party with their hostesses, apparently hay ing just as good time as was being had by the men folk. After the coftee and cigars had been served, MT. Tay- Tor explained that there was no req son why any one should bore any one else by making speech. He said the Columbus folk know how highly they are esteemed by the Pine Bluff folK, and vice versa, and then he read a a telegram received by the Pine Bluif chamber of commerce from the No- lumbus chamber of commerce, ex. pressing felicitations and the bellef That the Senators are pennant winners .this year, MT.
