SMOKE FUND IS
IN NEED Of S18
Would Like to Go Over $1,000
Mark Before First Year of
Fund Ends.

With the coming OF winter the
people here at home will commence
to think of the boys who are fighting
without any stoves to keep them
warm and without a comfortable bed
with several thicknesses OF blankets
in which to crawl at night. The boys
can't have stoves while doing duty in
the trenches; they can't have a warm
bed in which to sleep and they can't
always have warm things to eat. but
there is one thing which will go a
great way toward keeping their blood
warm and their hearts content and
that is a good smoke.
They can stand their tedious watch
es better with a pipe or cigarette to
keep them company ana confine their
thoughts to the more pleasant things
in life-a best girl, wife, children,
mother or other loved ones at home.
The EVENING NEWS is nov en-
~deavoring to secure about SIS more

for funds to buy smokes for the boys
in France.
The latest donation was that of $40
received from the Tri-County Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers. This or
g~anization at its quarterly meeting
held on Saturday, August II, decided
to use some of the money from its
treasury to supply tobacco to the
Americans fighting in France. The
association has members in New
Brunswick, Plainfeld and other
places in this vicinity, but rs Perth
Amboy was the only one raising such
a fund It was decided to make the
donation to the EVENING NEWS.
The example set by this association
is one which might easily be followed
by any other lodge or organization
anxious to help the boys in ways other
than buying Liberty Bonds, War Saw
lings Stamps and making donations to
such organizations as the Red Cross,
Y. M. C. A., knights of Columbus. etc.
But three days remain in which 10

Amboy to put this over as II has put
over other campaigns, and let the
name of this city appear on the list
lDf those raising $1,000 to buy tobacco
for the boys during the first year of
the fund. Now hat the goal is SO
near the residents should not fall

who need smokes almost as much as

them all up against the players. A
