THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY; SEPTEMBER 8, 1917. HOW SENDS $1 TO TOBACCO FUND Mother of Soldier Wants to Sacrifice to Cheer Up Son of Some Other Mother. QUARTERS ROLLING IN Club of Those Who Would Give $2.50 a Month Is Suggested to Assure Steady Supply of : Smokes for Fighters. sexd ur Torn quarter now. The Oregonlan's tobacco and cigarette fund for American sol diers In France now totals $365.75. That will provide pack- -ages of smokes for 1463 soldiers, at a quarter for each package. Contributions to the fund yester day totaled $72.75. Every addi tional quarter received will mean another soldier made happy with a package of smokes. Have you sent In your quarter yet? Information reached The Ore gonian yesterday that a man was soliciting money In Rose City Park for the tobacco fund. This is not written to impugn his mo tives, which may be of the best, but to make clear that The Ore gonian has not authorized any person to solicit or collect money for Its soldiers' tobacco fund. The 25-cent pieces are coming a-rolllng Into the fund The Oregoniau is raising to send cigarettes and to bacco to American soldiers In France. Hut still more money, and more yet is needed, for a soldier on the battle front can smoke a powerful lot of cigarettes. Small wonder that he does, for the cigarettes or an old black "dudeen" pipe are about the fighting man's only home comforts when he is doing a tour of duty In the trenches. One good smoke at such a time will do more to keep away the "blue devils" of homesickness and gloom than the passing of a $5,000,000 war credit by Congress. The fund now being raised by The Oregonian will provide for the im mediate tobacco needs of a good many American soldiers In France. But, as previously remarked, a soldier will smoke up a lot of cigarettes or to bacco In a surprisingly short time when the Hun shells are dropping about him. Non-Smoker Helps Boys. In that connection the following sug gestion by McKlnley Mitchell, promi nent grain and commission merchant, is a mighty pertinent one: i "I am Inclosing check for $2.50 as contribution to your tobacco fund for the boys in the trenches," writes Mr. Mitchell. "I am not a user of tobacco in any form, but am not opposed to those who do. I know thre is nothing that a man who smokes enjoys more than a good cigar or his pipe after a hearty meal. "Why not remember the boys at the front? There is nothing that will give them more comfort or ease their miads when sitting around a camp fire or In the trenches thinking of home and friends than, a puff of a cigarette. It Is a most worthy cause. It will bring cheer and spirits to the boys. Let's do our part. "I will be one of a club of 50 or more to contribute $2.50 a month for a year for this purpose. This will give the boys something substantial to depend upon." Tobacco Club Will Be Helped. Who wants to Join that club with Mr. Mitchell? Contributions can be cent to The Oregonian, and the tobacco will be forwarded to soldiers at the front. Among the many letters containing quarters, or several quarters, for The Oregonlan's soldier tobacco fund re ceived yesterday was one from M. R. Colby, of the Colby Engineering Com pany, Inc. Accompanying the letter was Mr. Colby's check for $10. "I have been In the service myself ana I know what a comfort a good smoke means," said Mr. Colby's letter in part. "I also know the discomfort of not having one, as I have seen four or five men working one cigarette when tobacco was short. "This is a case where everyone can help; even our girls and movie fans can give up two and a half shows and furnish more comfort than they can imagine to one of our boys 'somewhere in France.' I feel sure you will have Wonderful success in this venture." Double Value Is Given. For every quarter sent to The Ore sronian's tobacco fund a big package of tobacco and cigarettes will be sent to some soldier in France. The pack age is put up by the American Tobacco Company, and contains cigarettes and tobacco that would retail at 45 cents. So your quarter sent to The Oregonian counts almost double. Incidentally, every package will con tain a stamped postcard and a request tnat tne soldier-recipient mall the card, with a few words of acknowledgment, to the donor of the package. In a month or two persons who send in their quarters now will begin receiving postcaras irom tne men in tne trenches. Here is an extract from another let ter that came to The Oregonlan's fund yesterday, enclosing $1 from Mrs. Annie 13. Hogue, of Forest Grove. She said "I am inclosing $1 for four packages of tobacco as per your article. I am one of the widow mothers that has given all she has to the service of our country. And if a bit of tobacco will give a bit of cheer to a brave boy, I am more tnan willing to give and worK tor it. ' When a mother of a boy at the front feels that way about making some other mother s boys happy, don't you feel that you can hardly wait to send J.u your own quarter to the fund? The Oregonian is receiving so many quarters and so many fine letters are accompanying them that it Is impos sible to acknowledge them or to pub lish more tnan a lew or the letters. You will get your acknowledgment personally from the soldier who re ceives the package of tobacco sent to him with your quarter. While you have it on your mind, sit down right now and send your quarter or quarters to The Oregonian for its soldiers tobacco fund. Or, if you pre fer, bring In the money personally. Be sure to Include also your name and address, so the soldier recipient will know to whom to address the postcard. Hood River and The Dalles are offering Muir and Webber's Prize at the same price.
