"Do the home folks a good turn by having us send them _The Stars and Stripes_ every week," the editor said at the head of his page, in an appealing display type. "There are not many things you can do from this side of the water," he said, "for your folks or your old pal or that girl back home. _The Stars and Stripes_ would come to them like another letter every week or another little present."
