BE A HERO

Your Share For Smokes

Grew so cold the mercury froze,

Who burned up Rome to Keep him

Before it was near zero.
At that, he made lot of smoke,
A lesson there for you, sir;
Go buy some smokes for soldier boys
And call yourself a hero.
Here is the chance for a New
Years resolution. Take a strangle
do something for the soldier boys
who smoke. You really ought to get
the snow off your feet and join this
cause. You will be q has-been If
you do not. Everybody is helping.
Everybody is interested in 1t. See,
here, how 1T appealed to a sport
writer who was sent to give an &C
count of a smoke benefit:
The, smoke show was a good
show, because it raised a big sock
of dough for the soldiers, who need
tobacco about as much as a fight
fan, which is saying a scuttleful, be-
cause if Mr.. Hoover had come into
the Olympia, Wednesday night, and
seen the clouds of smoke pouring
through the sEylights like it goes
through the chimneys at Midvale
he would have raised a heluva hol-
Ter. and sent for Thomas A. Edison
to come quick and put in smoke
| condensers so that the deplorable
waste could be stopped.
Maybe Edison could find a way
to pack that smoke in cans and send
1t to the trenches, where the sol.
diers could either inhale it or shoot

Boys Working Hard to
Pay Y. M. c. "A. Donations


An echo of the Y. NJ. C. A. War
Work Fund Campaign came to the
local Y. NJ. c. A. last night when a
young man, dressed in working
clothes, walked up to the desk and
gave an envelope containing S1.34 in
pennies and small coins. When press
ed for his name and for the disposi-
ton of the money, he said, Never
mind the name. 1 want this to go to
the soldiers. can't go, so this money
is going"
The boys division of the campaign
under Arch II. Dinsmore, boys cam
pa1gn manager, was one of the fea-
lures of the campaign. The boys are
hard at work, earning the $40 which
each one pledged for the fund. Many
payments have already been receN-
ed. The boys shoveled snow, hauled
wood and did everything within their
power. Gee" said one of the boys,
Il am glad that last snow came, for
I'd have been stranded then"
