Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-02-04

Billy Sunday. who is doing his bit
in Washington, d. c., toward keep
ing the Hun in place, sent his con-
gratulations to-day to the local dom
mittee on the first days returns from
the sale of Smileage Books, which
netted about $1,000 of the $4,000
which it is aimed to obtain.
"As a matter of fact" said Billy,
most of the folks don't know what
the man in the training camp is up
against. You've got to give them
something to do-something to take
their minds off their work, once in
while. Keep the devil away. And
then you sort of freshen them up
so that they get new grip on the
work and can go at it harder.
why" he continued, you run
across the same thing everywhere in
business nowadays. Look at the
books on the psychology of organiza-
ton and selling. Look at the big
business places putting up parks and
restrooms ana having ball teams
it gives the men something besides
their work to bind them together.
Did you ever go to a clambake?
Now, then, didn't you sort of ease
off for the hard pull again at the
work when you came back? Sure
YOU did. It's the same way with the
soldiers. / never condemn the the
ater as an institution though
there are a lot of things about
theater don't approve of.
But here's a case of giving the SOL
der some decent ausmement, Just
like he used to get in his home town,
or letting the devil get busy on him
when there isn't anything else on his
mind. The devil would sure elect
on lot of boys, simply because he
got to em while they weren't look
ing Give 'em the amusement-good,
clean, snappy things; live stuff. And
Smileage coupons will put it over in
great shape. Good luck to Smileage.
You'll have to print more books. The
old folks back in the towns are going
to jump at this chance.
The Y. NJ. c. A. can't do this.
They have their hands full with the
religious and welfare work let alone
the rest of this It's all needed too"
Sunday passed a good compliment
to the administration when he
learned that the Y. NJ. c. a. and X.
of Ctand the American Library Asso-
ication are all under the War De-
partment Commission on Training
Camp Activities.
Now, that's a pretty good work."
he aid. 80 that was Wilson's idea?
Good for him"
YES" he went on, lying down on
the top of the library table with his
hands under his head, that's getting
organizations together. That's Amer
ica for you. Give them each part
and let 'em go to it. And you pulled
all the Chautauqua managers to-
gether, too. Good for you. They're
a great bunch. They do a lot of
good in the country. Lots of these
smart alecks in the cities don't know
about them but they would learn q
lot of they took the time they spent
in Joes place or some other ginmill
to find out what is going ON, and wise
up to some of the things that would
help 'em a lot
THAT proves it," said Billy, when
he saw a letter that General Scott
had written in regard to the need
of theaters. He slapped his hand
with the same gesture he uses when
he is giving the devil a good crack
in the ribs. There's man that
knows the situation. He knows SOL
diering. He's been an Indian fighter.
He'll have a gang with him when
he goes across that'll make anything
the Kaiser has look as sick as a
ginmill when the town goes dry.
Give the boys something to do to
make the change as gradual as pos
sible-thats good dope. Smileage is
the way to do it. Go to it strong!"
