American soldiers in France is a capital one. Nothing gives a soldier in the field more pleasure and contentment than a cool, refreshing smoke at Fort Riley. "The idea of sending tobacco after a hard day's fighting or while awaiting call to the firing line. "Life in the trenches is very hard, and I know the American soldiers will remembrances appreciate and enjoy in the form of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, and pipes." There is plain language from a man who knows. You don't want any better endorsement for The Star-Mirror fund than this. General Wood is only one of the public men who has gone on record with a statement that our soldiers abroad must have tobacco and cigarettes. The Star-Mirror to tobacco fund is making it easy for you to help. Your quarter starts it and we do the rest.
