Tobacco Comes Handy.

Down here We hear much OF the
opposition to the raising of funds for
the purpose of purchasing tobacco
for soldiers These boys are getting
ready to go away to take part in the
greatest war the world has ever
known. Some of them will probably
not come back The general opin-
ion among soldiers is that the eff
forts Of the w. c. T. IT, and other
worthy organizations who oppose
smokes for soldiers could better be
directed toward the smokers who
stay at home. They realize that
liquor and the vices which have fol-
lowed all armies until this one was
modified cause much misery and
impair their lighting strength Ev-
en- those who are most fond of their
little snort" now and then are glad
10 see liquor kept away from camps

his sons there to run it. Then the

Texas farm by himself. while the

for himself in the army. The farm

money for his products from his
farm. Neither he nor his boys had

war, yet they" came along and took
one of his sons, spelling his plans
for developing his Texas farm. The
only consolation he had was that he
could keep his eight other Oklahoma
farms running and exc out a miser-
