For those who have leisure it is to

scanty leisure the division has wisely
provided short cuts to knowledge that

true in club work, where dry and end

into condensed and understandable
shape, and authentic information on
a given subject has been gathered
from hundreds of different sources and
condensed into package library
which you may have for the asking.

There has been no cessation in the
steady now OF contributions to The
Times-Dispatch fund for ''Our Boys
In France Tobacco Fund" each mail
bringing sums ranging frcm rs cents
upward. Yesterday nineteen men and
pipes OF American fighting men sent
in an aggregate Of $3.50. making the
total received for the week $220.25.
Dollars. tens and hundreds of dor
lars are needed to carry out the pur-
poses CT this patriotic organization. so
every man, woman and child should
take advantage Of this opportunity to
SUPPLY comfort for the soldiers and
sailors who arc rea:y to offer their
lives to help Uncle Sam beat Kaiserism.
The American roys are going to
fight in France. Think 1t over. They
are not in camp for ten days; they are
rot on the Mexican bo-der: they are
not drilling in arEloric.. They are
about to. if not actually fighting In
the trenches.
Many of these boys win never again
see their homes. They will die and be
buried thousands Of miles away, with
n mound of dirt to mark their fall. In
time the elements will destroy this
cross, and perhaps a bursting shell will
level that hill of dirt.
They are dead. Are they forgotten
In Death?
PHYSICALLY UNCOMFORTABLE
AND LONGING FOR LOVED ONES
You know they died for their be-
loved Stars and Stripes. sacrificed all
for their flaG and your flag. These
boys are uncomfortable physically, and
there is also Juggling at their heart
strings. They arc longing for mother.
father. brother. sister. wife. sweetheart
and perhaps their little ones.
Americans, do your bitI' is the cry
which rings through the land.
Send the boys ammunition. food.
guns. bayonets and the necessaries to
win the war for those who stay at
home.
Quite right. send them. but what
about smokes!
This work to the lad at the front is
repuls've. He is not a murderer he
does not revel in bloodshed. lie is
human. He doesn't want to work nIl
the time. He wants play. recreation
and comfort.
He wants a smoke. His overstrained
nerves need one.
Perhaps you will say. my boy is
over there and he doesn't smoke"
Don't fool yourself. He can't help
1t. ut the front.
Are you going to help send them some
tobacco. or must they keep on longing? !?

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1917-06-14

The mixed rag market fluctuates
greatly with the climate of that part
of the country from which the rags
come. New England rags are worth
almost Az cents pound, while middle
western rags sell for S1s cents. on
the Pacific coast the market price is
only 8 cents. The explanation of this
is that New England, with its cold
climate, wears more wool, consequent
ly, its rags contain higher percentage
of wool which is the most valuable
commodity of the rag market.
One of the points which the associa-
ton was especially anxious to make
was that the standing of their connec-
tons with the manufacturers of the
country should be on a higher level.
They wished to make it clear that
everything which the manufacturers
made and sold was not to them pros
pective junk to be carted around to
the manufacturers back door again to
go the rounds once more. The Ma
tional Association of Waste Material
Dealers do not wish to impair the flu
ture development of the country-all
they want is a fair profit and not to
be sneered at. For they are not junk
dealers.
