ADOPTS SOLDIER AS TOBACCO BOY DURING THE WAR Doesn't Bother to Find Out the Fighting Yankee's Name Ellis Parker Butler, of Tlic Vig ilantes, author of "Pigs Is Pigs," has solved the problem of steady, con scientious contributing to. smokes for soldiers. He has adopted a "tobacco boy" among the I'nited States sol diers in France, and though this boy does not know Mr. Butler has adopt ed him, he will soon discover that Mr. Butler is some father. In his narrative of how he came to claim a new relation, Mr. Butler tirst tells how cranky he himself is when he ' cannot smoke, then elaborates on his keen desire to help the soldiers: then: "I have tobacco-adopted one of the soldiers. I don't know his name, but he is my tobacco boy, my own per sonal nicotine soldier—my smoke son. It is like this: I wondered what 1 ought to do about this 'Our Boys in France tobacco fund.' First, I thought j I would give up tobacco and send the money to the fund, but I don't want to be murdered by meanness. Then I hit the big idea. Every time 1 smoke my tobacco boy over there smoke. He could not smoke than I do, or he would have no time to be a soldier. "So this is how I am going to give my tobacco boy his smokes: Every time I buy tobacco I put an equal amount into the Our Boys in Frantfe tobacco fund—a dime's worth of to bacco for me, a dime's worth of to bacco for him; a dollar's worth of tobacco for me, a dollar's worth ot tobacco for him. And he will have some left over for his bunkies, be cause I pay 90 cents a pound for smoking tobacco and the fund can buy good tobacco at less than a third of that. "It is easy. You can do your bit. I you are a smoker adopt a tobacco boy and pay for his smokes. Friend, your old pipe tastes twice as sweet when you know your tobacco boy over yonder is having a smoke on you at the same time."
