THE SMILEAGE BOOK.
Intended for Use By Soldiers in Canton
ments.

When Congress passed the selectiv,
draft law it forced heavy responsible
ty on the governmental that it charged
it with a great many cares not hereto
fore associated with training an army
Congress realized these responsibilities,
and appointed commission on training
camp activities to oversee and take di.
rect charge of the work.
The government has built large liberty
theatres and installed liberty tents and
auditoriums in the As cantonments. The
handling of circuit of 4S theatres calls
for skilled management, therefore ex-
perienced theatrical men and the presi-
dent of one of the foremost Chautauqua
systems have direct charge of this work.
Four Broadway successes have already
been assigned to this field: "Turn to
the Right" Cheating Cheaters." Here
Comes the Bride" Inside the Lines"
Four vaudeville bills have been assem-
bled by the Keith circuit. Some of the
best musical program and lectures of the
highest excellence have been obtained.
In the regiments are scores of profess
sional actors and vaudeville performers
The men manifest special interest in see
ing their. own comrades on the stage. So
there are to be regular amateur produc-
tions between the professional offerings.
The question is asked, why don't the
government provide the admissions. Be
cause we are engaged in war in which
the entire energy of the government Is
needed for the actual conflict, therefore,
the Smileage idea was created.
The American people are asked to buy
million dollars worth of Smileage
ay o 1.
ton countys quota is $3.50, and you
will soon have an opportunity to pur-
chase Smileage books to send to your
soldier and sailor friends or you can
send them to the commanding general,

their strong deep dugouts which
they thought could never be
