 ment of the tickets and supplies be- cause of circumstances connected witl the printing and transportation. "We are not going to let this delay us, however" said Dr. Norris. "Wo will try to complete the campaign ir Pine Bluff Monday and Tuesday. Of course, the boys handling the cam paipn in other towns may not be able to complete the work before later in the week, but we should all try to sell as many smileage tickets as we can as quickly as we can,"
 The purpose of the smileage ticket campaign is to provide entertainment for the soldiers in the 32 National army and National guard canton ments. Only high-class musical com- edies, vaudeville, lectures and Broad way attractions will be offered. The admission charges will be 10 to 25 cents.

The books contain 5 cent coupons, and sell for $1 for a 20-coupon book and $5 for a book of 100 coupons. People who have no def mite friends in camp to whom they may send the books may send them for distribution to the commanding gen eral of the camp, who will distribute them among men unable to buy the tickets, giving preference to those who are sending home their pay.
