their fight against the rabbits more

brings out all the rich
pungent flavor of bacon
there's nothing that tastes
better. But you .wouldn't like
it raw.
IT'S TOASTED
So we toast the Burley tobacco
used in LUCKY STRIKE Ciga

to bring out the rich, solid flavor.

The Gazette-Times,
Dear Friend Crawford: Thought
I would write you a few lines to let
you know that I receive the Gazette
Times all O. K.
It sure makes a man feel good to
get the news from the old home town
We left N. Y. the 22nd of January
and were thirteen days crossing, as
we had to fight every inch of the way
In the face of one of the worst storms
of the season. There was no sleep or
eats for six days, just a couple of all
ces of bread and some coffee.
would like to write and tell you all
about the country and what we are
doing over here, but .cannot, as it is
against regulatioss.
We have seen several German sub
marines but they sure run when they
see the old U. S. ships. I guess they
think we shoot too straight tor com
fort. Well as there Is nothing else I can
write about I'll have to close. Thank-
you for the promptness with which
you send me your paper, I am as ever
your friend,
