CAT SHOW WILL GIVE AID
Columbus Day Filled With
Events to Supply Smokes
for Soldiers.

the young soldiers waiting in New York
used to express their 4nvy OF those who
had preceded them to Europe because
this advance guard got the good OF THE
Sun fund tobacco. But as soon as they
were in training at camp this feeling
was lost in a desire to help the fund;
they did help. too, in all ways-in dona-
lions, In participating in entertainments
and by getting up shows of, their/own.
A share of this money was always
voted to THE SUN Tobacco Fund, for
said the young soldiers:
II We help you now in your laudable
effort to keep the Yanks over there
supplied with tobacco, why. when were
over there and get some of II We will
feel that we deserve it!'
They are over there and have been
for a year. The particular regiments
that the smoke fund has In mind who
we're such willing donors have since sent
acknowledgment Of tobacco gifts to
themselves with a reminder that they
had helped and now felt as IL the bread
they had cast on the waters was re-
turning TO them tenfold."
The letter printed in the box on the
FIRST page to-day from II. W. Clark Is
lut one Of the hundreds THE SUN To-
uacco Fund has received for transmits
sion to its contributors and 1t expresses
without waste OF words the sentiment OF
them all.
They are grateful for the tobacco they
are now receiving in scenes where to-
baoco can't be had from any other
source. and they are self-congratulatory
because they laid out a dollar or two to
provide solace to their brother fighting
men and are now being solaced in the
same way and by the same means.
Gratitude OF Soldiers.
Few OF the present donors OF THE SUN
Tobacco Fund can have this kind OF re-
turn for the money they give for smokes,
but do they ask for a higher return than
the gratitude of the fighting men? 1t Is
theirs fully and sincerely.
As has ever been true of the fund folk
they are not satisfied to make individual
donations and to stop there, but many
Of them are conceiving and projecting
plans by which the smokes for soldiers
shall increase by leaps and bounds.
