essential that all food possible be
saved for ourselves and the allies by
whose side we fight.
You can pc or rurther service to
your country if you will see that a
complete stock of glass jars for can
ming purposes in the home is carried
by you and made available for your
customers as wanted, so that when
an unprecedented over-supply Of
fresh vegetables and fruits arrives
you can sell these glass jars to the
housewife, and personally encourage
her to prepare a sufficient amount
from the overstocq that will be re-
ceived to supply the needs of her
family during the winter months.
The retail grocers can further
serve by supporting the housewives
organizations and clubs who have be-
come interested in this service
through countrywide campaign
You can arouse their enthusiasm and
assist in arranging for central place
where such surplus foods may be
canned in those thickly populated
and metropolitan districts where
adequate household facilities are not
available. 1t has we'll been suggest
ed that in the present crisis portions
of public school buildings and Sun
day school rooms, Easements or other
Suitable space connected with
churches, would be appropriate places
in which this highly important work
could be conducted.
Americas success in the present
war depends not alone upon her fight
ing men at the front, but upon the ex
tent to which those at home bend
their efforts toward the conservation
of the nations energies and re
sources, particularly her food, which
is required for the urgent needs o1
herself and those she has Joined II

Your patriotic cooperation and hell
in making effective the suggestion!
contained in this letter will furnish ;
valuable contribution to the country,

ent and the opportunity is great Th'
result another year may be most dis
astrous if the farmers who have beel
universally urged to increase produC
tion do not find fair market or d,
not secure adequate profits for thei
perishable produce.

HOOVER LETTER POINTS A
WAY TO GROCERS
What the Retail Men Should Do to
Assist In Food Plans-Push the
Sale of Fresh Vegetables

The following letter has been ad-
dressed to the retail grocers of the
United States pointing out their op-
portunity to serve he people in a
patriotic way:
Retail Grocers:
In your section, during the summer
months there will undoubtedly be
some excess of fresh vegetables and
fruits sent to your market by the
farmers who hae raised large quan-
titles of such produce at the urgent
request of the government. We ask
that the retail grocers "do their bit"
by setting aside a prominent section
of their stores for the handling and
display of fresh vegetables and fruits
and push the sale of them during the
period in which they come into the
market in great quantities; that re-
tail grocers promote the sale of fresh
produce to the exclusion, so far as
possible, of non-perishable foods which
can readily be sold during the winter
months.
In order that the large surplus Of
perishables may be turned most ef-
fectively to the national good, three
great efforts must be made:
Increase Consumption of Fresh
Vegetables
|. The public must be induced to
! consume the vegetables during the
growing season in substitution for
sugar and wheat, corn and other ce-
reals. These staples can and must
in large part be saved over for the
winter. Our national diet comprises
only IA per cent vegetables. If this
amount is doubled the public health
will undoubtedly be improved, sta
pes will be saved and living will un.
questionably be cheaper.
/ 2 The surplus over current require
ments. including carrots, turnips
beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cab
bages and various other vegetables
should be stored by the producers
and wherever possible by consumers
They can be bought more cheaply ir
summer and will keep if stored II
COOL well-ventilated places.
Canning.
3. The surplus of fruit and many
vegetables should be canned either
i'll the home or in the community can
neries.
Drying
Some vegetables and fruits may b,
advantageously saved by drying
either in the home or in communit,
centers.
The retail grocers of the countr,
have great potential influence II
this national crisis, which is grave be
yond the realization of most men. W,
are confident that the retail grocer
can be relied upon to render the i'm
portant national service that oppor
tunity now offers them. Your COOP
Grafton will l trust, be prompt an,
constant. Will you not make it you

unflagingly in the various ways tha

/ This effort on the part of retail
, growers to encourage the consumr
: tion and canning in the home of fresl
, vegetables and fruits will save jus
that much non.perishabIe food dur

Of the greatest games Of baseball that
has ever been pulled off this side of
the Mason and Dixon line, and be-
tween teams that have never yet
found their parallel in the big leagues
Perhaps some of Bart Folsom's Troll

put up some such exhibition as that

but that question will have to be set
tied by comparison after today s
game has been played.

that will engage in the mighty strug-

Of talent, together with the object for
which the game is played, that is the
benefit of the Augusta chapter of the

a record breaking crowd, and it un-
doubtedly will. The game will be call

A special executive committee Tor

act as campaign manager
Only a small proportion of our peo-
pie can have the opportunity to serve
upon the actual field of battle, but all
men, women and children alike may
serve and serve effectively by making
it possible to care for those who do
serve under arms at home and abroad.
Our soldiers will soon be on the bat
tie front in Europe. They will carry
our flag to that front, and in the dis
charge of their duty, thousands Of
them must die and many other thou
sands will be called upon to face un-
told suffering, as the result of wounds
and other forms of sickness. We are
to have 100000 to 100000 or more mo-
bilized and going forward to the line
of battle in the near future.
Tuberculosis and many new and ter
rible diseases that haze developed
from trench warfare, and which are
incident TO army life must be combat
ted. They may be conquered both to
preserve our own troops serving
abroad and to aid our allies. To the
degree in which we are successful in
conserving man-power, we shall help
to win the war.
A personal canvass will be made Of
every citizen in Augusta. This can

In addition to the above, l am asking
every society in the city to vote some
definite sum from their treasury. I
sincerely trust that not a single organ

pledges through your society. but vote
some definite sum from the treasury
Please let me know at your earliest
convenience what action your society
has taken. I suggest calling special

sary.

non. He sends this message to the
Augusta committee of the American
Red Cross War Fund, and through
them appeals to every man and wo-
man in this section of the country to
give their bit during Red Cross week

THE functions of the Red Cross in
modern war are of the greatest i'm
portance, it is the big brother of the
medical department of the army" says
Gen. Wood. 1T is the official repre-
sentative of the war department. It's
functions cover the territory OF the
firing line and trenches back to the
villages and cities Of. the home land.
American men and women cannot
give their services In better cause
than that Of the Red Cross. Upon its
efficient organization and maintenance
depends to a large extent the success

handling of the sick and wounded are
concerned. 1t should receive our
strongest support and our best efforts,

feet running order. The whole Of New

AUGUSTA CITIZENS DOING
GOOD WORK IN PUBLIC
GARDENS" OF THE CITY

A big portion of the credit for what
ever results are forthcoming from the
citizens gardening activities in this
city will be due Councilman George
Worthing of Ward /. Appointed to the
task of assigning garden sites in his
own ward, he has voluntarily assumed
the burden of this responsibility in
Wards ,, and 4, as the persons orig
inally designated for the work in these
wards have not found the time to de-
vote thereto. In addition to this work,
he has given the free use of his team,
large amount of fertilizer, and two
weeks of his own labor. The terri
tory under his supervision includes the
Leonard farm and the State land that
has been made available for the pur-
pose, and in fact takes in most of the
public garden sites on the west side of
the river. There are about 100 gar
dens, the allotting of which has fallen
to him, which measure from so by Is
to so by 100 feet each.
Superintendent E. a. Gray of the
Eaton shoe factory has actively inter-
ested himself in the gardening move
ment, and has assumed charge of
about seven acres of land which have
been largely apportioned among his
employees.
The work on the east side has been
for the most part under the direction
of Alderman Burton Giddings of Ward
7, who is in general charge of the work
throughout the entire city, and Albert
G. Hopkins of Ward 6. On this side of
the river something over so acres have
been utilized.
