WHOLE NATION MOVES TO BANISH SOLITUDE Our Heroes Are * Calling From Over There?Give What You Can to Help Those From Home. i Every citizen Interested in the hoys of his home town now at the front, and in the brave women who equally are I serving their country abroad, has an ; opportunity to show his appreciation | of the sacrifice they are making. The opportunity comes as a result of the generosity ami thought of Colonel \Yili liain lioycc Thompson of New York. j who has conceived and put into execution what is known as the Home Paper Service. Under the plan, every man and woman in foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so be kept in constant -touch with the places and the people they know and love. Every branch of the United States Government is interested in the plan. Tito Government realizes the importance of keeping those in the service happy and constantly in touch with their home ties and associations. Nothing is more depressing in a national emergency titan the spirit of loneliness in those serving their country, and officials know that nothing can dispel this feeling more effectually than reading the home town newspaper. Publishers of newspapers in till parts of the country?this newspaper included?have grasped with pleasure the j plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, ! and they have agreed to co-operate in : every way. Under the ruling of the Wnr inftno. trios Hoard newspaper publishers are j forbidden to send their newspapers i free, even to soldiers. The newspaper ! must be subscribed for in the regular [ way, the only exception being soldiers ! who formerly were In the employ of the newspaper and who left that service to enlist. Colonel Thompson therefore proposes that the public in each community contribute to a fund so that the home newspaper (in our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now in the service of his country.
