Numbing Tfiuiing Hardware WILL YOU HELP OURBOY^BROAD? Every Man, Woman and Child Can Join to Send News of This Town Into the Front Line Trenches. WHOLE NATION MOVES V TO BANISH SOLITUDE Our Heroes Are Calling Frono Over There—Give What You Can to Help Those From Home. Every citizen Interested In the beys of his hoaiti town now at the front, and In the brave women who equally are serving their country altroud, has an opportunity to show bis appreciation of the sacritice they are making. The opportunity conies as" a result of the generosity and tiioui:ht of Goionel Wil liam Boyce Tliompson of New York, who iias conceived and put into execu tion what is known as the Home Pa per Service. Under the plan, every man and wo man in foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so be kept in constant touch with the places and tbe people they know and love. Every branch of the United States Government is interested in the plan. The Government realizes the impor tance of keeping those in the service happy and constantly in touch with tiieir home ties and associations. Noth ing is more depressing in a national eniergency than the spirit of loneliness in those serving their country, and of ficials know that nothing can dispel this feeling more effectually than read ing the home town newspaper. Pul)lishcrs of newspapers in all parrs of the country—this newspaper includ ed—have grasped with pleasure tlte plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, and they have agreed to co-operate in every way. Under the ruling of the War Indus tries Donrd newspaper publishers are forbidden to send their newspapers fret;, even to soldiers. Tbe newspaper must be subscribed for in the regular way, the only exception being soldiers who formerly were In the employ of the newspaper and who left that serv- Ice to enlist. Colonel Thompson there fore proposes that the public in each community contribute to a fund so that the home newspaper (In our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now in the service of his couu' tr>\ f Anyone may contribute to the fund, ted any sum maybe contrlbute<I. It Is not necessary to contribute the entire amount of one subscription. It does not matter whether the rich man sends in one hundred dollars or the poor boy or little girl sends in five cents. Each gift will be a message of love and help fulness to the home town folks “Over There.” The money will be lumpe«t into one fund, out of which subscrip tions will be entered as fast as the money is received. Contributors who send in the full price of a year’s subscription may. If they wish, designate to what particular person they wish the newspajier sent, but if the name given is already listed as receiving the paper, then the pub lisher reserves, the right to apply tlie subscription to some less fortunate sol dier boy or noble woman who Is just as lonely for news of home and home folks. The name of every contributor to this home paper service will be pub lished in this newspaper, and the name of everyone entered for a subscription wMll be published as well as the num ber of those remaining whose subscrip tions have not been covered. If the amount of money received shall be more than Is necessary to send the paper to every person from the town now In the service, then tUe bal ance will be turned over to the Red Cross. The plan Is endorsed by the pub lisher of this newspaper without any thought of profit, either directly or in directly, but with a sincere desire to help keep the home fires burning and to send to our heroes and heroines news of our town, to keep their hearts warm for us and to let them know they are constantly in our minds. The publisher, of course, cannot make a profit on circulation, and addi tional circulation such as this will be— circulation from non-purchasers sent far across the sea—can have no adtfed value to the advertiser. These facts are stated so that every contributor may feel that every cent contribited goes to the good cause. The mothers of our boys are facing an ordeal with a bravery that com mands respect and admiration. Here and there where tiny stars are turned from blue to gold, where anguish grips the heart, the nation stands in silence and honors the women who have given of their blood, the very bone of their bone, to their country. To thPM, home has lost its meaning—the scui of it has fled—there is no home, it is Just a place, and no place is quite so lonely, unless it be witliin the hearts of tho^ brave sons in far off France who long for Just a word of home. There can not be a man, there cannot be a Wi»- man, no, not even a child, who will fail to co:iti1bute Just a little to make tbe hearts of these patriots lighter. Mot one.
