Adopts Soldier as Tobacco Boy During the War
Ellis Parker Butler says he has adopted a tobacco boy among U S soldiers in France. He explains the plan: every time he buys tobacco, an equal amount goes to the Our Boys in France tobacco fund for his “smoke son.” He notes he pays 90 cents a pound and the fund buys tobacco cheaper, aiding bunkmates. The Harrisburg Telegraph fund contributions list shows totals reaching 855 dollars.
