during the late unpleasantness.
 I ate my Christmas dinner at c. J. q. NeIson's and the next day l ate dinner at F. M. Westerfield's. They had vepison, pumpkin pie ond the best old Kentucky corn pone l ever ate. You see they are from Kentucky and so am l. They live in Perry county, about six of their neighbors also had killed deer They had all their ehil- dren home for Christmas dinner, one from Detroit, Mich, and two of the boys belong to the Pulaski Heights Fire Department. MT. Westerfield was tickled because he could beat his boys killing deer. He says they have killed during the last ten years at least fifty and only about three or them were does. That's the reason l suppose that there are still deer left for him to kill. This buck he killed had eight points on his horns, but he had been fighting lot and the tips of his points were broken off and think one point had been broken off, so it was nine point buck and he had the longest hide I ever saw.
 Little Italy is on top of this noun tain and straddles the line between Perry and Pulaski counties. They have a street along the line and they want the counties to declare it pub lie road All the Italians who can read English took the Pulaskian from they paid without waiting for me to ask for it. They are all from Chi cago, but are natives of Italy have on my book the names of Joe Dal San to, John Piren and Joseph Belotti The latter is a bright boy. His par ents cannot read English, so he took the paper himself. Some of these children were born right on the bat tlefie1d where the Italians and our other allies are fighting the Austrians and their allies. Petro Piren was born there in 1903 his brother, Adolph, was born in Switzerland in 1907, and his sister, Provina, was born in Chicago in 1914, while the baby, Mary, was born here in Little Italy.

You will remember that I wrote a few weeks ago that Chas. Stockel had bought farm and built a nice little house on it and that he should get married or get killed. Well, he took the hint and married pretty girl on Christmas eve. She was Miss Esther Hurst, an orphan, raised by Dr. Lee Tippit Dr. Tippitt says he has raised several orphan girls and they have all married and left him. He and his wife would now like to furnish a home to some orphan boy

AUGUSTA RED CROSS
ASKS FOR MORE WORKERS
Needs More Help in Making Surgical!
" Dressings and Hospital Supplies at
Aldermen's Room, City Hall

The Augusta Red Cross needs more
help in making surgical dressings and
hospital supplies and is issuing today
an urgent request for more workers.
In spite of the fact that American
soldiers are now in the trenches and
in the hospitals and in spite of the
steadily increasing need for surgical
supplies. the number of people in Au
gusta who are giving their services
has recently decreased. and with the
decrease in workers has come les
sening. Of the output.
Now that State of Maine boys are
actually in ff6nt line trenches and
numbered among the wounded, the real
gravity of the situation is coming home
to Augusta people and Red Cross OIL
Gals feel that they will respond. with
ospecial Willingness to this call for as
sistance.
The Red Cross urges that every pos
sible worker give hes time to making
surgical dressings and hospital sup
plies. This work is done in the AL
dermen's room in City hall. Surgical
dressings are made Monday from $50
A. NJ. to -, while hospital supplies are
made Tuesday from 8 to II and from Z
to 5.
Considering the pressing need TOT
surgical dressings and hospital sup
plies and considering that the fight
ing in France in the past few days
has resulted in the wounding OF Maine
troops. it is believed that Augusta wo-
men will feel it their especial duty to
give their services to this cause and
that there will be so many workers
on hand Monday and Tuesday that
Red Cross supplies can be turned out
in sufficient numbers to keep Augusta
abreast or ahead of other cities of SIM
liar size

AMERICAS MISSION IN WAR
Is Pointed Out by Rev. A. r. Wa,ch il
-. Sunday MORNING. Sermon

In a very interesting and preceptive
sermon given by Rev. A. +. Walch at the
Sunday morning union service Of the
fUniversalist and Congregational churches
held at the Cniversalist church, Amerf-
ca S mission was shown to be to make re-
ligion an element in the settlement of
the war question.
Rev Mr.. Walch took for his text Mat
thew A: "A man shall not live by bread
alone" He pointed out that it is literally
true, however it happened, for an indi-
vidual or nation to try TO live on force
or material things, that there must be
religion to give it soul People were
wondering what religion was doing that
such a war could break out among the
most religious nations. Inc speaker said
that the answer to this was that people
were not trusting in religion that thew
were trusting In science, education and
commerce, and that while these are can
able OF doing religious work, people had
not been using them religiousIy. As an
instance of this he spoke of the erea,
deal of science employed for the use OF
implements or destruction, such as the
submarine. gas bombs and cannon.
Inc speakeF showed that the same held
true with education. These very countr,e,
are filled with colleges and universities

In these war times we all want to

The treatment Is one Of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a pon-alc
holic tonic. AS the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and
have proved of the greatest benefit in
many cases Of neura sthenia.
