GENTLY well realized that we shall not
only enjoy the satisfaction Of contrib
uting our energies and our money, but
we will also have thereby received a
very great benefit.
Augusta must raise $4,000. The
committee selected to secure this mon

anything l have ever seen in connec-
ton with any work ever undertaken in
our city.
Augusta will furnish her quota of
men for the army.
Augusta has subscribed her share
of the Liberty Loan.
Augusta will pledge her share of
the one hundred million dollars to care
for the wounded soldiers.
Since 1S49, when Augusta became

the call of the State or nation. Any
one who thinks that she is to fail in
this emergency does not know her
spirit.
The Red Cross
THE American National Red Cross
United States which our government
has authorized to render aid to our
| land and naval forces in time of war.
The Red Cross organization goes
with the American soldiers and sail
ors into service, whether on American
or foreign soil. It goes as the sole
official agency of the American gov
eminent for humanitarian service.
Every young man who goes from
Maine into the service of his country
must have the protection which only
the Red Cross can give him. The Red
Cross is financed by public subscrip-
ton. 1t needs Hundred million dol
lars. u.
Giving to the Red Cross is not a
charity--it is for the defense of our
own boys when they go to war-a de-
fence from hardship and suffering and

Wake Up Augusta!

The executive committee of the Au-

sued the following statement:
THE most stupendous and appeal
ing call in the history of the world to
aid suffering humanity confronts the
Red Cross.
THE Red Cross must raise $780,
100000 at once to take care of the sick
and wounded in the war.
millions Of men who have been
fighting for liberty lie dead or wound :
ed; hundreds of millions of women and
children are homeless and helpless;
towns and villages have been Destroy
ed; and disease and distress are ram
pant.
up to now. our own people have
not suffered. While Europe has been
pouring out her life blood, America has
experienced a prosperity she has new
er kpown before.
But we ourselves are in this gil
gantic war. We now see that the
struggle against autocracy and tyran-
ny which our allies have been making
is and has from the first been, in
reality no less our struggle than theirs
We ourselves must now share the suf-
fering which they have endured; we,
too, must bear the burdens and we
must do our part in a real way.
I'VE are now facing situation the
like of which has never existed. It is
most important that every man, and
every woman in this city have some
idea of that obligation, some idea of
what the people of this country are
looked to supply if we are going to be-
gin our work.

asked to give s1Oo.o0o,oOo. Augusta

o. P. ROBBINS HAS A
GARDEN THAT is A
MODEL OF IT'S KIND

A vegetable garden that seems to
revel in almost continuous rain, ana
not to suffer in the least from the lack
of the suns warming rays is the pos
session of Oliver P. Robbins of IL
Spring street. On a plot of land that
measures scarcely five rods by two.
Mr.. Robbins is raising crop Of vege-
tables which he is sure will supply all
the wants of a family of five for the
season, and also yield him a substan-
tial profit.
A patch of beets with a luxuriant
growth of leaves several inches high
and big tempting heads of lettuce Of a
kind more frequently seen in seed cat
alogue illustrations than in backyard
gardens make a bright display of light
numerous rows of promising bean
plants, endive, swiss chard, tomatoes,
radishes in a state of maturity, and
some hills Of cucumber plants that
have developed their third leaves.
With corn Mr.. Robbins has not been
SO successful as usual this season.
but there are good number of plants
that give fair promise.
Although the garden is one that is
with good reason the object of envious
glances from many an aspiring home
gardener, Mr.. Robbins is not entirely
satisfied and states that it is tie least
successful that he has had in several
seasons. Questioned as to how he
achieves his results, Mr.. Robbins re-
piled that he has no particular secret,
but admitted that he makes very lib
eral use of commercial fertilizer
He has a method of raising beets
that is all his own. Instead of plant
ing the seeds in rows a foot or more
apart, as is the general practice, he
plants in rows not more than six
inches apart. and while the plants are
still young pulls up every other row.
BY following this method last season.
he harvested IS bushels or greens from
bed measuring only about two square
rods Last year Mr.. Robbins small
garden provided his family an abund-
ant vegetable supply throughout the
summer and enough additional prod
uce to bring cash return of $50. Be-
fore branding the seed catalogue ar
fist as nature faker take a look at
Mr.. Robbins productive little plot.

de Milo, just as she was unquestionably
ability is that she could have outrun or
outdanced or otherwise outclassed in a
test of endurance either one of them. She
was no dumping, nor yet lath; she had
lively and plant young muscles under
that fair skin of hers, and she was proud
that she didn't look half so strong as she
really was.
On her first day in Kenilworth, how
ever, she played three sets of tennis,
eighteen holes of golf, rode an hour or two
on Kentucky saddle-horse with good
coat but bad disposition, climbed OBJ
servatory Hill, tossed league baseball for
half an hour with Johnny Wilson, Gtat
fourteen, and went through the complete
schedule of waltzes, one-steps, and fox
trots at the Country Club subscription
dance. By midnight every man whose
enthusiasm hadn't already been ham
mered out of him by Harvard and Kenil-
worth conventions was crazy about her.
and in two days they were all afraid
of her.
At a distance Miss Ruston inspired ad-
miration rather than fear. 1t was only
when she bent her utterly frank and un-
suspicious eyes upon man, and spoke
her mind with absolute righteousness,
that chilling fright gripped at the young
mans vitals.
Miss Ruston had never learned the art
of casual conversation. On the contrary,
if she had anything to say, she talked
forcefully; and if she hadn't, she set
standard of taciturnity by which the
modest clam might well be judged. She
remained outwardly pleasant, but she
didn't gabble. And, since her face was an
excellent register of her emotions, it was
a most astonishing and interesting face,
on which the usual assortment of features
had been fortuitously arranged so as to
produce an attractive and rather yearn-
ing effect. At close range, therefore, Miss
Ruston was highly demoralizing. For the
rest, rumor said that she was an heiress,
and the Wilson's said that she was an
orphan.
Under ordinary circumstances the ar
rival of a pretty and orphaned heiress
would have stirred Kenilworth from its
top stratum, which included the Wilson's,
to it's depths-which was Julian Merrick.
A dozen sturdy bachelors, armed with
bank accounts and university degrees and
club memberships and rge-jawed ances-
tors, would speedily have reconnoitered,
skirmished, deployed before the Wilson
estate, and charged en- masse. But in the
case of Roberta Ruston that brave squad
ron of Kenilworth volunteer chasseurs
showed, after the first evening, unmis-
taxable signs of timidity.
Before the battery of her searching
eyes the most subtle of arstocrats be-
came uncomfortable and restless and con-
scious of his liquefying collar. Under
the rapid fire of her crisp sentences the
most campaign-hardened veteran of use
less dialogue began instinctively to review
his past and to remember an engagement
somewhere else. And when Kenilworth
took the field with her, whether on turf
courts or waxed floors or gravel riding
paths, the odds were in the neighborhood
of ten to one against the field
Miss Ruston was tireless, and she was
expert; and few men of this feeble gen.
Grafton possess the courage to fall in love
with woman who in addition to money
