Somebody’s Dollars Will Do It-
I Wonder if They’ll Be Yours
By Bruce Barton ,
1 WILL tell you what will happen some
night this winter in France. Some
night when its cold and dark. There
will be a rustling through the front line
trench, where our boys stand guard. And
a heavy iadened Secretary will make
his way along.
In his hands will be great steaming
pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga
rettes. .
From one man to another he will go,
passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands
that tremble with the cold; bringing the
comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke.
Men will hail him‘cheerily, slapping/
him on the back; and when he has gorie\
things will be a little easier in that trench
because he has passed that way.
How much will it cost to make that
trip, do you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid, and
the cost of the chocolate and the ciga
rettes und all?
Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars?
I do not know.
But whether it is five dollars or
twenty-five, I’d like to think that it is
my five or 'twenty-five—wouldn’t you?
That some night when it’s cold and lone
some, iny money and yours might send a
Secretary out along that frontlinetrench.
Let’s make up our minds that we are
going to pay for a score of those trips.
A score of the nights this winter shall be
our nights
— —nights when the boys greet joy
ously the chocolate and cigarettes that
our money provided; and are happier
because our representative has passed.

CURE FOR BLUES
NEAR THE GAMPS
Community Service Takes Place
of Mother, Friends and
Home for Soldiers.
Ten young officers of the Student
Army Training Corps of the Universi
ty of Detroit recently applied for a
furnished house and a housekeeper
who would not be a servant, but, as
one young officer expressed It, "the
sort of woman to whom the boy* cun
call out ‘Hello, mother 1‘ when they
come In the front door."
Homesickness Is the malady for
which War Camp Community Service
supplies Innumerable cures.
We’ve got your number," says the
W. C. C. S. to the homesick boy from
camp with leisure to spend In any one
of the three hundred towns scattered
over the country. While he’s wonder
ing what on earth he’ll do with him
self when he gets there, not knowing a
soul In town and with a limited per
centage of his "thirty per" In his pock
et, along comes a friendly printed card
from the local branch of his own .lodge
announcing a reception that night es
pecially for soldier members. By the
same mall the Methodist church sends
an announcement of all Its meetings,
addressed to him, with This Means
You printed at the bottom. How did
they know he was a Methodist?
He bad forgotten about the little
“Personal Card" he made out at the
adjutant's request during his first day
in camp when It-was only one of the
endless details In the round of dentists
and doctors and general, contusion.
The W. CL C. 3. had not only hi* num
ber,. but hta name and address, hi*
home town, the .name of the school
he’d gone to and n good bit about the
things he was fondest of doing—each
fact written into a little blank on tftg
card especially far lk >
