SUGGESTS APT POEM
FOR HOSPITAL DRIVE

Mrs Edwin c. Dudley. one Of the en-
thusiastc members of team No. 13 head
ed by Mrs. Willis f. Swift has suggested
the following poem as expressing the sen
timent that inspires both the seekers for
the hospital fund and the sivers to il:
MYSELF
have to live with myself. and So
want TO he ii for mvself to know.
want 70 he ahle.' as days go hv.
Always to look myself straight in the eve
don't want to stand, with the setting
sun.
And hate myself for the things i've done
don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself.
And fool myself. as ! come and 60.
1rto thinking that nobody else will know
The kind Of man ! really am;
don't want to dress up myself in sham
7 want 10 so out with my head erect,
want to deserve all mems resncct
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself
don't want 70 look q. r1vseif and know
That I'm hluster and bluff and empty
show.
never can hide myself from me:
see what others may never see:
7 know what others may never know:
never can fool myself. and so
Whatever happens I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.

Following close on Mondays memo
riahle gathering from which the work
, ers departed electrified with enthusi-
atm aroused by the addresses Of Nor
nsn l.. Bassett George +. Macomber
and the Rev. William r Wood. yes
terdays rally was marked by prief ad-
dresses. the keynote of which was that
the hospital must be saved
A Challenge to Augusta
Car VIC afford to have it said about
Augusta that we have had a hospital
for 20 years and then could not keep
that hospital?" Mr.. Macomber chal-
lenged
Shall we let it come to pass that
when a resident of Augusta wishes to
go to a hospital he must go to Lewis
ion or Portland or Waterville?
NO. We are not going to have this
happen. We have put it up to the peo-
pie so that they will understand that
this is question Of self-preservation
as far AS our hospital is concerned" y"
Cornelius NJ. Smith, of Frederick
Courtenay Barber and Associates Of
New York. director Of the campaign
spoke briefly before calling for reports
from the teams. He pointed out that
since the hospital movement has been
launched with a flying start, more than
one-fourth of the amount sought hav
ing been obtained in the first two days
of the drive, the response to the Lib
erty Loan appeal here has been great
er.
I'm your newspaper this morning"
he said. "the Liberty Loan committee
turns to your city and says, Well done
Augusta. Yesterday you took s37,950
making the total Liberty Loan total to
date s345,0o0.'
To-day, fellow workers, you also
may say with pride. Well done. Au-
gusta. in two days you have driven the
hand on the hospital clock to $685. ;"
Mr.. Smith then emphasized the ne
cessity OF redoubled efforts to roll up
the big totals that will carry the hos
pital fund safely past the $4,000 OBJ
jective. Based on his experience In
similar campaign funds for hospitals,
the director predicted a highly graft
flying outcome to Augustus first big
public money-raising movement for a
local institution.

Shortage Will Be Temporary
There will be temporary short
age in the supply of sugar to the area
north of Savannah, and east Of Pitts
burgh," the food administration S
statement says, during the latter part
Of October and the month of Novem-
ber pending the arrival in the market
of new sugar. Beet sugar factories
in the western states are rapidly COM
ing into action, and. together with the
Hawaiian production. will be able in
a short time to take care of sugar
supply in the area west of the terri
tory referred to.
The rapidity with which the sugar
invasion from the west can take place
will be largely controlled by the econ
omies shown in the consumption Of
sugar by the people in the western
area and the food administration
makes special appeal to them that
they should reduce the situation Of
sugar, more especially Of candy and
sweet drinks. that the northeastern
states may be supplied at the earliest
possible moment
Furthermore the food administra-
ton requests that all jobbers in the
West as well as in the East should
distribute their sugar with care
amongst the retailers in reduced guam
titles and that the retailers in turn
should refuse to see but a very limit
ed quantity to any one customer. We
also trust that jobhers will refuse to
sell sugar to any retailers who ad-
vances the price"
