At the hearing at Waterville. accord
ing to his testimony, Mrs. GirouX had
not accused him Of setting fire to the
barn but had said she would not let

SURGICAL DRESSINGS
COMMITTEE ASKS FURTH.
Err AID IN GOOD WORK

At the beginning of this new year the
surgical dressings committee wishes to
express once more its gratitude to the
many friends who have SO generously
helped on its work. Since the year began
new proofs of the thoughtful interest of
Augusta citizens and organizations have
been thankfully received. Among them
have been generous gifts of money from
a score of the business men of the town,
the Claiming Guild has sent a substan-
tial check, and another earlier donation
was from the Unitarian church, which
donated half of its Thanksgiving day
offering to this work,
For these, and the gifts from individ-
uals, which have been in the past not a
few, the committee is sincerely grateful.
That there should be no diminution, but
rather an increase III the work, is shown
by bulletins which are constantly being
received. Among them such phrases as
the following give food for thought and
action:
we americans nave given, put let us
not feel that we have yet given in pro-
portion to the need, or even in proper
ton to the gratitude expressed. We have
begun WELL let us go on increasingly So
Let us prize this chance given us for
making good while others are making
heroes and heroines."
Never in the history of the world has
there been a more vital necessity of sus-
tanned and prolonged generosity than at
present. Nothing is too small, nothing
is too large"
practically all the hospitals are in
need of your help, and we are distressed
beyond expression TO find our shelves
almost empty, for there is a far greater
demand than supply. and the needs are
fully twice what they were a year ago
so we pray that there will be no let up
in the wonderful work being done In
America"
please tell everyone in New England
not to give up. | don't know what would
happen if they should For every mo
ment of unselfish. thoughtful work at

name of America"
Shall not we all here In Augusta take
our part in this work, which cannot for
humanity's sake cease until peace ends
