Cigarettes for Soldiers stir patriotic support and fund drive

A wartime column extols the centrality of tobacco for troops abroad citing Empeys Over the Top and Tommy the cigarette smoker. It urges readers to support a Tobacco Fund with contributions as little as 25 cents to buy tobacco for soldiers going over the top, noting broad citizen support and the moral imperative to aid a wounded generation. It also lists a local item for sale: a steam boiler.
