CAMP LEWIS SOLDIERS
NEED athletic GOODS!

Anyone in Tacoma who wants to do a good
deed for the new soldiers at Camp Lewis cannot
do better than by furnishing athletic apparatus
for outdoor sports.
Basebals, footballs, gloves, mitts-anything
that can be used for athletic contests are needed
by the men.
The government is fostering and encouraging
outdoor sports, to keep the boys in fit condition.
and to chase away the bugbear of inconsistencies,
but as Yet it hasn't been able to provide any APP

asking that the public do what it can towards
supplying the new army with sport goods
Athletic supplies may either be taken direct
to the post or sent to the Sporting Editor Of The
Times who will forward them to Camp Lewis.

Heretofore, a midget has been

for Imagination, that may find In the dullest
routine of my work the thrill of the true romance.
For though I am but one toiler in universe Of
toilers and my part in the labor of the world is
small, if [ had the vision to recognize the beauty
and the dignity of that labor shall know that
too am helping to build the dreams of the ages
into the facts of the future. And knowing this
shall find even drldgery worth while and feel
within me the joy of creation. Amen.
