Il Is Everybody's Cause

In union with all good citizens, l ap-
prove and encourage the efforts that are
being made in the city of Augusta 20
for funds for the Red Cross
Two-thirds of that amount has already
been pledged within the short space of
two days. The collectors have prosecut-
ed their task with SO much energy and
zeal that nearly all whose names are
found on their lists have been reached.
The remaining third of Augustus quota
will come very slowly unless every indi-
vidual considers himself a self-appointed
though welcome member of the committee
that is already actively engaged in gath
ering the funds. 1t is not the work -
any definite number of men, though many
are giving all their time to the cause.
but every man, woman and child should
be particularly interested. The city of
Augusta is on trial, and it's citizens
should not be found indifferent to a great
cause. Those who have already given
small amounts will not be unwilling to
increase their contribution, while those
who have given of their wealth and
abundance will be glad to write another
check and thus encourage the numbers
who are giving of their poverty but with
a generosity and devotion that is ad-
mira BILE.

Everyone Should Assist

l am delighted to know that the
people of Augusta are doing SO well
in the way Of pledging funds to carry
on the work Of the Red Cross Society
in connection with our army. This
work is of such strategic importance,
in view of the task before our country
at the present time, and in order TO
win this great struggle for universal
democracy, the great army of doctors
and nurses, who shall carry it out
must be fully equipped in every way
to save the lives of our soldiers IN
the most efficient manner.

Our New Duties

New occasions teach new duties The
people of Augusta have never faced an
occasion like the present, even in the
darkest days of the Civil war. The his
tory of centuries and the destiny Of the
world are trembling in the balances.
Somewhere yet that atoms force may
move the light-poised universe. What We
do now may provide the needed balance
of power. The Red Cross is the lever to
which every person can put his hand.
Some of us are too old to enlist and too
poor to do much financially, but we can
each help the cause with at least a bit;
and this bit" will make the horse go.
No movement could possibly be more
worthy of unanimous support and push
than the present Red Cross campaign In
Augusta. Here's to its complete success.

Success to the Cannainn

The splendid progress of the cam
paign in Augusta to raise $4,000 for
the Red Cross War Fund is most graf
flying to every one who is properly
concerned for the good name of our
fair city. No doubt the balance will
be secured; but we must all help. If
We cannot enlist for service at the
front, we can each give something to
help safeguard those who represent US
there. Civic pride patriotism, the
spirit of mercy and Christian love all
incite us to share in this offering of
money to provide for the desperate
needs of those who are going into the
jaws of death for us. Success to the
campaign.

Put Our Hearts Over and IT'S Done

When the American people are thor
oughly aroused they love to do a really
big thing. 1t would seem that the citi-
zens Of Augusta are being aroused to
make the $4,000 Red Cross war fund
an unqualified success; but what we
need to make it sure beyond all dan
ger, is for everyone to make a grand
final rally, that will clinch the mat
ter. When the boy tried to vault a
high bar and failed, his father said:
Put your heart over. lad and your
feet will follow" If we put our heart
into this thing the result is assured

Not Duty, But PRIVILEGE

Subscription to the Red Cross fund
should not be considered duty but a
privilege. one in which every man,
woman and child ought to share even
though the amount contributed seem
small in itself. Next to devotion to
the Master Himself comes any work
of mercy which will alleviate the suf-
fering of tho.~ in His image and there
is no better way of doing this than by
giving to the Red Cross fund.
