The sun., 1918-12-23

glad OF a letter, TO say nothing OF
few holiday smokes! I can probably
tell you something about France and
the war that you haven't heard yet"
The above was written to donor Ba-
beta De Sola Mendes, a SUN fund
contributor, by Sergeant II. Wolfe o;
Company c, Forty-sixth Regular
Transportation Corps.
Here is a Tha nksgiving card from
Private Dadle Pricock OF the same
corps: Received the cigarettes which
you donated to THE Sun Tobacco
Fund. They are the kind the boys
like. for we are tired OF the makins
and It's Joy to get ready made. How
the smoke fund has done 1t all we
don't know, but It has happened that
when everybody was out and there
wasn't a smoke in sight, along came
the good old sun with fresh supplies.
Keep up the good work; we're not
Strengthening anything now but time,
and he takes a lot of killing. The Gig
arettes help put him to sleep. How
about Christmas smokes? But we
should worry. I bet THE SUN will be
around then in plenty OF time"
A Good ThantsEiving.
Another card from the Forty-sixth
Transportation Corps goes to the men
OF the Post & McCord Company from
Private W. C. McCord. whose home Is
Crest, Ga. lie received six packages OF
Piedmont cigarettes and had good
Thanksgiving on account OF them.
Two parties have been offered to
THE SUN Tobacco Fund to speed up
tobacco shipments after the first OF
the coming year. They are offered by
the management of the Hotel Claridge
and the Hotel Martinique. 1t is hardly
practicable to give both the dates they
ask. which are evenings before jan
uary l, but II is likely that com
promise may be effected ana one OF
the affairs be postponed till after New
Years.
The patrons Of the Crumperie are
taKing a lively interest in holiday
smokes and have already contributed
to boost the fund. This little Green
wich Village shop is managed by It's
proprietor, Miss NJ. Aletta Crump, in
person. but she does not want the
| honor of the subscription sent in from
il to be credited other than to Its
| patrons.
Yesterday was a good smoke" day.
! for rainy weather, cloudy ana darR'
invites an increase in the clouds en-
gendered by the weed. 1t was in con-
sequence a day when THE Sun fund
boxes in the Schultz and United cigar
stores received many coupons and GER
tlf,cates which will send smokes over
TO the soldiers.
The contributions received on Sun
day will be credited in the list OF gifts
! acknowledged on Tuesday morning
and the figures showing the grand
! total Of the fund and the latest con-
tributions are repeated from yester-
days paper.
