he arrived at Camp Sheridan he has
been in constant demand for patriotic

the state in behalf of the Third Liberty
Loan drive, but he accepted the invl-
tation to lend his presence to the camou-
flage carnival with alacrity, and he may
be depended upon to have something of
interest ready to say when the time
comes.
If friends of the smoke fund could zee
some of the letters which came in this
week with the last mail from our over
seas troops, they would know how great
q part full tobacco pouches play in keep |
ing our soldiers in fighting trim and
would be repaid for the work they have |
done in it's behalf
At this late day Christmas packages |
which have been lost in the shuttle OF |
congested traffic between here and |
France are beginning to struggle into the |
Alabama camp and the joy that greets |
them is not confined to the recipient |
alone, but to all the boys who get even |
a glimpse of something from the states, |
whether it is intended for them or not.
