HERALD SMOKES
Write Letters Of Apprecia-
ton to Senders-Tell of
Work "Over There"

Letters and cards from the boys at
the front who have received tobacco
through The Herald smoke fund, are
still coming to The Herald Office, tell
ing of the c~heerfulness with which
the tobacco kits are received abroad.
Most Of the cards are short and to
the point. Some of the letters tell of
the work which the writer is engaged
in. of the country and Of the people
of the land which. in spite of word
from one Of the boys saying that the
weather is extremely wet, is still re-
ferred to as Sunny France"
Sergeant A. K. Cook Of a mobile
repair shop very Interestingly de-
scribes the work Of hat section. "As
the name indicates" he says. we are
motorized and able to move from
place to. place. When a repair job
comes in from the field it is taken
care Of by this shop. The per-
sonnet consists of clerks, auto me
ehanics, artillery repair men. ma
chinists. saddlers and armorers. The
men are experts in their line. Our
section, known as the equipment Sec
ton. handles repairs of pistols. ma
chine guns and automatic rifles"
The cards are full of cheerfulness
and determination. The soldiers
seem. almost as glad to receive the
tobacco as a souvenir as for it's smok-
ing value. as they say it shows them
that the people Of the states are back
Of the boys and willing to furnish
them comforts. -.
