Every citizen interested in the BOYS
OF his home town now at the front, and
IN tile brave women who equally are
serving their country abroad, has an
opportunity to show his appreciation
OF the sacrifice they are making. The
opportunity comes us a result of the
generosity and thought of Colonel Will
liam Boyce Thompson of New York,
who has conceived and put into execu-
ton what is known as the Home Pa
per Service.
Under the plan. every man and w0-
man IN foreign service will receive the
town newspaper, and SO be kept in
constant touch with the places and the
people they know and love.
Every branch of the United States
Government is Interested In the plan
The Government realizes the impor-
tance Of keeping those in the service
happy ahd constantly in touch with
their home ties and associations. Moth
ing Is more depressing in a national
emergency than the spirit Of loneliness
In those serving their country, and Of
.dcials know that nothing can dispel
this feeling more effectually than read
ing the home town newspaper.
Publishers of newspapers in all parts
Of the country-this newspaper includ-
ed-have grasped with pleasure the
plan outlined by Colonel Thompson
and they have agreed to cooperate in
every way.
Under the ruling Of the War Indus
tries Board newspaper publishers are
forbidden to send their newspapers
free, even to soldiers. The newspaper
must be subscribed for in the regular
way. the only exception being soldiers
who formerly were in the employ Of
the newspaper and who left that serv.

fore proposes that the public in each
community contribute to fund so that
the home newspaper Tin our case this
newspaper) may reach every man and
woman now in the service of his coun-
try.
Anyone may contribute to the fund,
and any sum may be contributed. 1t ia

amount Of one subscription. II does
not matter whether the rich man sends

Or little girl sends in i've cents. Each
gift will be message of love and help

into one fund. out of which subscrip-
lions will he entered as fast as the
auoney Is received.
Contributors who send in the full
price of years subscription may, II
they wish. designate to what particular
person they wish the newspaper sent,
but If the name given is already listed
as receiving the paper. then the pub
fisher reserves the right to apply the
subscription to some less fortunate SOL
dier boy or noble woman who ia Just as
lonely for news Of home and home
folks.
The name Of every contributor to
this home paper service will be pub
ttshed in this newspaper. and the name
OF everyone entered for subscription
will be published ms well as the num-
Der of those remaining whose subscrip-
tIons have not been covered.
II the amount Of money received
snail be more than is necessary to send
the paper to every person from the
Gown now In the service, then the bal
Ance will be turned over to the Red
Gross.

FISHER Of this newspaper without any
Thought Of profit, either directly or in
directly. but with sincere desire to
