Save Peach, Plum, Prune, Save Nut Shells For Making Apricot and Olive Pits Soldiers' Gas Masks BELL 1M1—235 UNITED HARRISBURG, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1018. FOUNDED WTI Complete Stocks in New Fall Styles Write Letters to Soldier Friends As you read letters from the boys in the trenches or camp, whether published in the newspapers or received personally, there is one request they make that seems universal among them —"write letters to us frequently." Even though the boys cannot find time to write to you, they welcome letters from home. Put yourself in their place, hundreds or thousands of miles from home, fighting for those they want letters from. Having sacrificed everything to go among strang ers not knowing whether they are ever to return, all they ask is a few lines from home friends to know they are being remembered and that their work is being appre ciated. But don't reflect a "long face" in the letters but make them as cheery as possible. Instead of wandering up and down the'street aimlessly for your own recreation, suppose you spend an occasional hour and make a list of the many boys you know over there. Even though not real intimate they'll be glad to know you take an interest in them and will appreciate the news items or personal comments you make. Start your pencil moving and you'll be surprised to find how much you have to tell. The newspaper is filled with daily commonplace affairs but we all want to read them. So do not imagine that a letter is difficult to write. The appreciation expressed by some soldier acquaintance will more than repay you. If you see some reference to a soldier in the papers giving address where he is located ,write him telling how you enjoyed reading of his adventure or whereabouts. If he receives it he will most likely respond with an interesting letter that will make you want to write again.
