TOOK FLING At BOOSTERS
Visitors Suggestion Probably Did Not
Tend to Make Him Popular
in Los Angeles.

Merle Sidener, local advertising
man, recently returned from a West
ern trip In which he visited the city
of Los Angeles. He was impressed
with the boosting of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was the
guest of honor at a banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dinner
speeches were made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had not
been founded on the coast. The speak
ers all said that had the city been on
the coast instead of ten miles or so
from it, the city would be the garden
spot of the world. The visiting colo
mel was called ON to speak and said:
Gentlemen, / am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be-
lieve that / can suggest a way In
which you can accomplish your wish"
All of the citizens present leaned
forward eagerly, for this was no doubt
the solution that had long been walt
ing for. The colonel continued:
"This Is what you should do. OBJ
tain a large pipe. run 1t from the CEN
ter of your city into the ocean and II
you can suck as hard as you can blow
the ocean will soon be in your city,

GET WRITING CRAZE
Yankee Fighters Heap Troubles
on the Censor.
When Out Of the Trenches He "Tells
EN- About u" In Reams
and ReamA

Paris.-The letter-writing craze has
struck the American army.
Just as soon as he gets out Of the
trenches the doughboy washes up,
scurries around for pen and paper and
sits down to tell 'em all about II. And
be tells 'em In reams and reams.
"Well, let's see" he says, as he
~meditatively kicks his steel helmet
under bis cot 'rve got to write to ma
and pa, Kittie and Johnny Boggs over

son a letter. And I've got to scribble
a few lines to Uncle Abe and Aunt
Minnie. After that I'll answer those
letters of Bill and Tom"
Writing materials-paper and en-
velopes-are not always plentiful
where the doughboy is stationed. and
for a while 1t was doubtful whether
the last Of his correspondence list
would receive their letters, for the
supply In the small town stores was
soon exhausted. But the Y. NJ. G. A.
learning Of this scarcity. soon ar
ranged to supply all contingents. 1t
sent out seven million sheets of writ
ing paper and some 100000 envelopes
a month.
With the tremendous growth of the
expeditionary force. orders have been
increased and the estimate for next
year is 12O, 700, 900 sheets Of paper and
60,O00,000 envelopes.
This means that the Yanks will use
about 720 tons Of writing materials
720 tons of news and comfort for the
folks at home.
And when the censor officers stop to
consider 1t they grow weak, for 1t is
their duty, along with everything else,
to censor the letters and see to 1t that
the soldier uses discretion and doesn't
mention things of military Importance.
