I'of 1916, for women relatives of SOL
diers to assist both prior to and dur
| ing the bazaar. Emphasis has been
| placed on women helpers with rela-
4 tives or friends at the front, as no
salary, profit, percentage or remun-
/ GRAFTON of any kind is to be paid any
member of the executive board, and
! the work must be done from a spirit
of love and patriotism.
The money realized will go toward
4 the purchase of comfort kits. pipes.
/ tobacco, toilet articles, games, and
other things requested by the Sam
| mics to make life at the front bit
more homelike. The bazaar is re-
! ceiving support from practically ev-
| cry state in the union, and saIeable
goods of all sorts are being shipped
ITO New York to be disposed of, that
| the proceeds may be turned over to
/ the bazaar. The entire exhibition

tobacco for the boys at the front.
