There is a great

a l’ttlc sugar and butt-3r with their
meals.

Wanted—Old Sweaters.

The boys made a request that their
friends in Norwalk and other towns'
would send them old sweaters. Not:
that they were diSsaiisficd with the
sweaters that friends at home had
made; far from that: but they do not
,wish to fling these. in the dirt and
mud when working. Anti so, old
stvcaters would come in handy.

t Furthermore, the boys tagged for
newspapers. When any fellow receiv-
'ed a newspaper,» six or ight fellows
would collect, unasked, to find out
what the arms was. The boys stated“:
that they didn‘t. wish boot-x so much ~
as the papers—the Sentinel and the
New York daily papers. Several of
the boys who are Greeks. itallans.
'Russians, Poles, etc. asked that pap-
ers in their own tongue be sent to
them.

The government is copyingr with its
tremendous responsibility to the best
of its ability. Everything is not as it
ishould be, or as the government wish~

Tto make your boy feel the pangs OE
