TOBACCO WILL
HELP YANKEES ;
WIN THE WAR
Keep the Fighters Happy and
German Line Must
Crumble
When you come to the end of a per
fect day,
And you're due for a sudden
hunch,
Do you sometimes think of a royal
jay
Whose jaw you would like to
punch ?
Do you sometimes think of the joy it
would bring—
And last you a whole long week,
To just wind up for a right hand
swing
And land on the Kaiser's beak?
Well, this is the end of a perfect
day—
With nobody round to stop;
To get your teeth in the Kaiser's
enr
And your knee irt the Kaiser's
crop;
To get your thunms in a loving way
On the back of the Kaiser's neck.
While the sun goes down with a
flaming ray.
And lights up the royal wreck.
We suspect that our friend the
poet. "Brainless Bates" is no pa
cifist. Judging by the trend of his
written thoughts he would make
meat out ot" Kaiser Bill whether the
day was perfect or down below zero
with the steam pipes frozen and the
milk bottle busted. But he has tho
wrong idea. What chance has any
one over here to land a right swing
on that shifty, slippery old demon?
The way to make a royal wreck out
of him is to take such good care
of Uncle Sam's lighters that the Ger
mans will crumble from sheer han
kering. Send tobacco. Make the boys
happy. Then watch them light.
When the Huns see these Yankee
toys joyful as a clam in high wa
ter, with gobs of good American to
bacco, and when they whiff its redol
ent aroma drifting on to Berlin they
will throw up the sponge. Sounds
trifling, but it isn't.
Xow that the big drive is about to
start—the drive that will tell some
thing of what is to be expected from
American soldiers, it is more urgent
than ever that the soldiers should be
contented. In some parts ot' tho
country a custom has taken hold
whereby four persons contribute 25
cents each, making one dollar. This
single bill can readily be tucked in
an envelope and sent to u smoke
fund headquarters. We are suggest
ing a 25-cent contribution because
even that small sum will buy quite
a respectable tobacco kit. the to
bacco people also adding their share
to each gift. That is to say each
dollar pays for four separate pack
ages. with a total retail value of
at least SI.BO. Dor.'t bother about
getting your knee in the "Kaiser's
crop," but get your hand out of your
pocket and bring along some contri
bution of whatever denomination for
this worthy cause.
Shippers Ask For Removal
of Railway Switching Cost
An effort is being made through
the Shippers' Official Service Commit
tee for Central and Southern Penn
sylvania, to get Director General of
Railroads MeAdoo to deliver carload
shipments to receivers on their own
sidings without any extra cost to the
shipper, where he has a private sid
ing. Under Government supervision,
a shipper or receiver may no longer
designate what road he wants his
shipment to be delivered. Where there
is more than one railroad entering a
city, receivers of goods having a sid
ing on one road, are liable to receive
r.otice that their carload shipments
have arrived on another road, thus
necessitating the expense and delay
of transferring their shipments from
the railroad siding to their own prop
erty.
The desire of the Shippers' Com
mittee, organized fomf time ago at
the suggestion of the Railroad Car
Service Committee in the Harrisburg
district, is that the railroads in the
district relieve the receivers of the
burden of transferring their ship
ments from one road to their own sid
ing on another road.
Look to Chinese Cook
For 'Ways That Are Dark'
The tragedy of live loaves of good
wheat bread being cast into the gar
bage pail belonging to the Oriental
Restaurant. IXS Market street, was
greatly modilled to-day, when the
proprietor. Ernest I-j. Morrell, put the
blame on a Chinese cook. By all ac
counts, this cook is full of ways that
are curious. When he heard that the
employer had engaged another chef
to take his place, the celestial cook
ordered the porter to put the bread
boxes outside, where the zero weather
soon ruined the bread for table pur
poses. The porter then did his bit
by throwing some of the frozen bread
into the garbage, thus completing the
irreparable waste.
RED CROSS COME TO AII>
OF SOLDIER WHO LOST TICKET
The Home Service Department, of
the Harrisburg Chapter. Red Cross,
was brought into active use by a sol
dier yesterday. The man was en
route to his cantonment and lost his
ticket. He had sufficient funds to
brin.T him to Harrisburg. When he
arrived here he asked the Red Cross
for aid, and, after a hearty meal fur
nished him by the local chapter, he
went on his way to the cantonment.
The Home Service Department in
ably represented by Miss Helen Leib,
who has taken a special course at
Philadelphia. Miss will be in
her office, in the Fager Building
headquarters, each Thursday after
noon from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock,
ready to render assistance to sol
diers and their families.
