Subscriptions

We know of a dandy way fol
some Tacomans who haven't rela-
tives in this war to do their bit
in helping the soldiers.
The Soldiers and Sailors club
house is asking for subscriptions

OF course, we don't mean by
this that We would like some one

how many subscriptions we can
turn in! 1t it's only a three
months subscription it will help.
