{ | i A i] . JUDGE . A'Smileage Book,’ Sent to a Soldier, Says | ~<a “Here’s My Hand, ian S Old Man!” eae: What your “Smileage Book” says to the soldier who gets it: “Take in some of those Camp Shows on me, old man! You're giving up a lot to train so you can put up a winning scrap for my family and me. What we've sacrificed eo far isn't a mole-hill up against a mountain compared with your sacrifices. “Just because you're fed, clothed and armed and get a dollar a day pay is no reason for our saying that we folks have done enough for you. So it's a pleasure to treat you to a few good shows. It's sure coming to you. Take this book and enjoy yourself on us. “Hope you'll get miles of smiles out of every show you see. Go to it, boy, and “Good Luck!” —and the “Thanks” that the Soldier sends back to you: “Saw about the best show ever, last night, at our Liberty Theatre. Coupons out of your Smileage Book took some pals and me in. Coming back to barracks we fellows agreed it was mighty white of you folks to treat us to shows like that. We were appreciative guests. Wish you could bave heard us laugh “That dollar a day of ours doem't go very far when you deduct * what we send home to the folks, the insurance premiums, and our Liberty Bond instalments. “Don't think we're kicking. Not_a bit. We're glad we're here and when we get ‘over there’—say! The Kaiser will have to locate a bombproof as deep down as that of his competitor the Devil to keep us from trimming him. “When the home folks get behind us like you've done and provide us with Y. M.C. A. and K. of C. huts in which to rest, read, recreate and write, and when you slip us ‘passes’ to the good shows that come to camp, believe me, we feel the nation is behind us, body, soul and pocketbook. That's what puts pep and fight in us. “Hope we can thank you and your family in person for the Smileage Bock. But if we never see you, some day when you read about the Sears and Stripes penetrating miles into a strong Hun position, just take it that there's your thanks I Fill out the coupon now ~ send it to Judge.
