PhanUog Tinning Hardware liLL YOU HELP 0URB0YWQA3? Every Man, Woman and Child Can Join to Send News of This Town Into the Front Line Trenches. WHOLE NATION MOVES TO BANISH SOLITUDE Our Heroes Are Calling From Over There—Give What You Can to Help Those From Heme. Every citi/.en Interested In the beys of his lioine town now at the front, and in the brave women who equally are serviii;; their eoiiniry abroad, has an opportunity to show his appreciation of the siicriiico they are making. The oiiportunity comes as a result of the ^eneio.sity and thougiit of Colonel Wil liam lioyce Thompson of New York, who has conceived and put into execu tion what is known us 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 the 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 tliosu in the service happy and constantly in touch with tlM'ir home ties and :issociations. Noth ing: Is more depressing in a national emergency than the .spirit of loneliness in those serving their country, and of ficials know that nothing can dispel this feeling more cifecLuaily than read ing the liome town newsp;u>er. Puliiishers of newspapers in all pans of the country—this newspaper includ ed—have grasped with pleasure the plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, and they iiave agreed to co-operate In every way. Under the ruling of the War Indus tries lioard newspaper publishers are forbidden to send their newspapers free, even to soldiers. The newspaper must be subscribed for in the regular way, the only exception being soldiers who formerly were in the employ of the nev/spaper and who left that serv ice to enlist. Colonel Thompson there fore proposes that the public in each comniimity contribute to a fund so that the home new.spaper (in our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now in the service of his coun try. f Anyone may contribute to the fund, ind any sum may l)e contributed. It is not necessary to contribute the entire amount of one subscription. It docs not matter wliether the rich man sen«is in one hundred dollars or the poor boy or little girl sends in five cents. Each gift will be a message of love and helj*- fulness to the home town folks “Over There.” The money will be lumped into one fund, out of which subscrip tions will be entered as fast as the money is received. Contributons who send in the full price of a year’s subscription may, if they wish, designate to what particular person they wisli the newspaper sent, but if the name given Is already listed as receiving the paper, theu the pub lisher reserves the right to apply the 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 contribvrtor to this home paper service will be pulv lished in this newspaper, and the name of everyone entered for a subscription will be published as well as the num ber of those remaining whose subscrip tions have not been covered. If the amoimt of money received shall be more than is necessary to send the paper to every person from the tow’n now in the service, then the 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 tow’n, 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 added value to the advertiser. These facts are stated so that every contributor may feel that every cent contributed 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 f;ilence and honors the women who hav‘> given of their blood, the very bone « f their bone, to their country. To tfie i, home has lost its meaning—the sojl of It has fled—there is no home. It is just a place, and no place Is quite so lonely, unless It be within the hearts of those brave sons in far off France who long for Just a word of home. There can not be a man, there cannot be a w«>- man, no, not even a child, who will fail to contribute Just a little to make the hearts of these patriots lighter. Hot one. Mot In our town.
