from over there about how our boys
held. and not only held but pressed for
ward. driving the Huns back. didn't
you wish you we're close by where you
could give them first hand evidence OF
your love and admiration and gratitudeT
II you are a contributor to THE Sun
Tobacco Fund weren't you glad and
thankful? Didn't it occur to you that
Sust before the fellows were put to this
test they may have received some Of the
smokes you helped to buy for them and
that the proof of your interest helped
them to make that stand and that adj
vance?
And as you were reading didn't the
thought come to you that when the big
rumpus was over and there came a
breathing spell they made for the smokes
which had reached them through the
fund and that you really helped them
oelebrate-you celebrate with them
because you had had a hand In giving
them that treat?
But II you aren't a contributor. II
you ndu no part III inspiring tneH Dc-

right away. to-day. now. you will give.
50 that you may share the personal
pleasure and qualification the next time
they hold or drive the Hun back or 60
over the top?

Tho American boys won't It's far
greater to say THE American boys won
and / helped them
