ADOPTS SOLDIER
AS TOBACCO BOY

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."
The following contributions have
been received for the H&rrisburg
Telegraph's tobacco fund:
