T EITERS from our boys in the trenches and ff . from the women in canteen and other war work, all bring to us the same mes-iffe--SEND US NEWS FROM HOME. 1 lorld news is all right, but OUR BOYS ant NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from sending their papers free to anyone, even boys; in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting ai 'President of the Home Paper Service of America to give the boys what they are calling for Every community is joining the movement Lt U see that our boys are not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever' amount of money you can 5 cents or $50.00. We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and the amounts contributed. ' Every cent received will be used to send

tikis paper to our boys at the front. If at thm atftd f the war, there is any surplus, it Will hm turned' over to the local Red Cross
