100000 IS AUGUSTUS
QUOTA TO F0URTHLOAN
% PER CENT NOW TAKEN
s25.1 100 THURSDAY

Augustus Liberty Loan quota is
100000. This quota was arrived at
yesterday, after visit OF Liberty
Loan Committee Chairman George E.
Macomber to state loan headquar-
tiers at Portland.
The amount of this quota is some-
what larger than was believed en-
tirely equitable by the local COM
mittee but over $4,000 lower than the
mark originally set.
All that now remains for Augusta
is to top this mark with a good,
healthy over-subscription.
Yesterdays receipts at the Angus
ia banks were s25.100. This brings
the total for the drive to SAGA $50
This sum is more than S. percent Of
the quota and it has been raised in
practically SO percent Of the allot-
ted time. This fact is very encour-
aging to the Augusta Liberty Loan
Committee. which now feels sure that
the quota of 100000 will he reached
by the final day. Oct. 10. 1t will re-
qufre a daily subscription of almost
$4,000 10 put Augusta over the top.
1t is felt by the committee that the
people of Augusta. knowing what is
required of them and that a sum of
s7oo.0 must be subscribed, will now
turn in and buy bonds more briskly
than before.

GARDINER GIRL WINS

The contest for the prizes offered
by the Woman's Division for the
best essay on Liberty Bonds was won
by Catherine H. Knight, Junior class
of the Gardiner High school, The
second honors went to -farian "
Chick. Senior class Of the Monmouth
Academy. Both prizes were Thrift
Stamps, the first three dollars and
the second two dollars. AS the
schools have been closed the number
of essays submitted was small, none
coming from the Augusta schools.
The prize winning essay follows:
Why We Should Buy Liberty Bonds
Napoleon Bonaparte, tie greatest
general that ever lived, once said,
There are just three things an army
needs in order to conquer; first, mon
ey: second, more money; third, yet
more money" And if anyone was
qualified to judge, Napoleon was. for
he made himself master Of most of
Europe. And if this was true then,
it must be even more true in this
great war. In 1872 the armies were
smaller and they could depend on
the country through which they
passed for their maintenance. 1t is
different now. For their wheat, the
great armies must depend on wheat
fields thousands Of miles away; for
their meat, on herds that Craze on
the plains of North and South Am
erica: and the ranks of these armies
are filled by men who must be trans
ported over three thousand miles be-
fore they have a chance to fight.
All this takes time and money. par
ticularly money. And we of Am
erica are the only free people that
have any money left to give.
The Boys in France may pour out
their last drop of blood in defense
of the flag, but, without the things
, that your money and mine will buy,
they are beaten. A little temporary
monetary inconvenience is of very
little importance as compared to the
thousands of men who are every day
giving their lives that we may live in
a civilized world, free from the
Kaiser and his Kultur
What money is not obtained by
this issue Of bonds will have to be
obtained by increased taxation. And
you will receive no interest on the
money you pay taxes with, as you
do on the money you buy bonds
with. So don't wait for Uncle Sam
TO take our money. but lend it to
him now
