THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their
smokes. Send them cigarettes !"
This is a familiar appeal now to
all Of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" ciga-
rette-LUCKY STRIKE. Thou
sands of this favorite brand have
been shipped to France. There
is something homelike and friend
ly to the boys in the sight Of the
familiar green packages with the
red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quail
ity of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga-
rette is largely due to the fact
that the Burley tobacco used in
making it has been toasted. TITS
toasted" was the slogan" that
made a great success Of LUCKY
STRIKE in less than a year. Now
the American Tobacco Co. is maxi
ing Is million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes a day.
A good part Of this immense
production is making its way
across the water to cheer our
boys.-Adv.

WE MUST HANG TOGETHER
(By THEoDosIA GARRISON of the
Vigilantes.)

Said Benjamin Franklin of Pennsyl-
vania, putting down the pen with which
he had just signed the Declaration of
Independence:
Gentlemen, we must all hang to-
gether or assuredly we shall all hang
separately"
In a single phrase he combined an
epigram, a warning, declaration Of
faith and, incidentally, framed motto
for the present generation.
The value Of team work for the ma
tional good is unquestioned the value
of the individual beyond the share he
contributes to the general power is neg
ligible. This undenied fact, acknowl-
edged by everybody and more often
quoted than applied, waited to be dem
onstrated In its entirety by the Imper-
ial German government, who, after its
fashion, lost no time in claiming 1t as
a personal discovery, marking it with
the "Made in Germany" stamp and
promptly christening 1t efficiency"
Mind you, 1t is the German govern
ment that has made its people efficient,
and that by the simple and direct
method of the brutal overseer who
lashed gang of slaves into the per-
feet workmen that produced the 100
per cent result he desired.
The individual who with all hfs heart
wishes a certain thing accomplished
doesn't have to be whipped into his
work, and the difference between slav-
cry and freedom, between autocracy
and democracy, lies in that individual
himself.
"The nation" says President Wilson,
needs all men, but it needs each man,
not in the field that will most pleasure
him, but in the endeavor that will best
serve the common good"

WOUNDED SOLDIER
HOME FROM FRANCE
William Croto Surprises His
Parents by Walking in Upon
Them-Badly injured On st.
Patricks Day-Eager to Get
Back Into the War

The first Burlington boy to come back
from France wounded arrived Monday
morning, when William Croto, aged 49,
walked into the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. William Croto Of Bissel street.
with wound in his jaw. received from a
piece Of flying shell which nearly ended
his life. The wound was received on the
western front in the March drive. Croto
has been recovering in Uncle Sans hospi-
tails since and his recovery is a credit to
the hospital facilities of the army. for, in
addition to being wounded. he was badly
gassed. He is now in pretty good shape
although the wound will have to be
treated for some time and probably sill
yer plate will be put in to replace part of
the jaw. In addition to William. the little
house on Bissell street has sent three
other members of the family into the
service.
Croto enlisted with the others in Com
pany NJ. but with a comrade was trans
ferred to a regiment in Connecticut and
on August 80 of last year sailed for
France. The regiment with which he was
connected was in training only a short
time when it was shipped up near the
front and all during the winter Croto WAS
within sound of the German guns. He
saw much of life In the trenches and was
with another Nermonter named Wiley,
who was wounded with him.
When the Huns were trying their ut
most to get through the lines. the shell
landed which put both Wiley and Croto
out of business. Croto thinks the shell
was dropped from an aeroplane but is not
sure. With the bombardment came the
gas and as the men lay there they under
went that. The barrage was intense and
| 1t was several hours before the stretcher
bearers could break through to get them
, They were about unconscious then. They
were wounded on St. Patrick's day.

until he had recovered to a degree, he was
shipped on returning transport and ar
rived at Cape May, n. j., on May 30. lie
