pears in the list OF contributors again
To-day. While visiting in Glendale Park.
y. j., she was asked to sing and COM
piled on condition that there should
follow financial gift TO worthy war
cause. She suggested that her auditors
make special contribution to one OF
the recognized funds. A gentleman in
the audience begged her TO designate the
channel for the disbursement of his con-
tribution and, OF course, she chose THE
Sun Tobacco Fund.
Glendale Proves Its Fidelity.
The Glendale, l. l.. Slocum street
block party resulted in lifting the smoke
fund by S1ss.56 and proved a complete
success in all its details. The decora-
ton OF the block caused great ndmlra-
ton, and two money prizes were given
TO the owners of the two best decorated
houses. Soldiers and naval men from
Pelham Bay assisted in the ceremony
OF a flag raising and the Park Commits
sioner OF Glendale spoke. The COM
nittee in charge was small, but its
members worked like good fellows for
the success of the party. They feel
amply repaid for their patriotic efforts
II Is the intention Of the citizens of
Glendale to repeat with another party
Inter in the season George Fickiessen
was chairman of the party.
Several repeaters appear to-day,
among them the regular Various MEM
hers of the New York Stock Exchange"
These regulars are apt to he Rccepte d
as matter OF course, but II Is not in
this way that THE SCS Tobacco Fund
regards them, for ii looks on them as
the backbone OF the fund and their gifts
are always to be gratefully appreciated
and acknowledged.
Reference has already been made to
the good work being done for the fund
by the United Cigar Stores The Ger
tificates pushed into the slit in the boxes
in these stores are doing more than a
regimental bit for the smokes for SOL
diers' abroad. Everybody should know
this and do some gushing when coupons
and certificates are handed out to them
with their tobacco purchaser
