CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY
BY PURCHASING A LIBERTY
BOND AT AUGUSTA BANKS
BANKS OPEN THIS P. M.

In ORDER to accommodate those who
desire to purchase Liberty bonds the
banks CT Augusta will be open this
afternoon from until o'clock.
Ii had originally been the plan to
make today. Columbus day. spe-
cial Liberty Loan day and to cele--
brate it fittingly. This plan was dis
arranged by the influenza epidemic.
However, the banks will remain open
for the accommodation of those who
wish to celebrate October II by the
purchase of Liberty bond.
All Augusta ~anks are still sup
piled with Liberty bonds in $50 and
500 denominations and can supply
them to cash purchasers.
Yesterdays subscription amounted
to $4,000, which brings the total for
the drive up to $47s.65o. The day
was marked by a remarkably large
number of moderate sized subscrip-
tons.

Why We Must Buy Liberty Bonds

People often ask: "Why must we
buy Liberty bonds?" To furnish our
soldiers with food, shelter. clothing
and ammunition to fight the Ger
mans, thus keeping what the name
says-Our Liberty.
Everything is run on a larger scale
than ever before. The distance over
which troops and supplies must be
sent is greater: there are more SOL
diers, more kinds Of weapons, and,
while formerly all fighting was on
land and sea, now it is also .lnder
land and sea. and in the air. While
the total cost to us Of the 1873 years
from 1776 to 1914 was 10 billion dol
lars. one year of this war cost US
over thirteen and half billion, or
nearly three-quarters Of the ether,
which includes the Revolution. the
War of 1912. the Civil War and the
Spanish War.
In the face Of these rising costs,
the government is fighting for its
life. We must help: for If Germany
should win, it would mean our being
treated worse than have been the
European countries.
United States government bonds
are the safest Investment in the
world, and we must buy as many as
we can. AS the costs increase, so
must our giving. Just because food
has gone up, we do not stop eating;
because rents are higher, we 60 not
live outdoors. just because the cost
Of war has advanced we must not
stop fighting.
The government must have more
money. We are not asked to give. but
to lend, and it is our duty as much
as for man to support his family.
Thus, to keep America free and to
rid the world of Kaiserism. we must
buy Liberty bonds.

LOCAL NOTICE
New Skip Stop System to Be Put in
Oporation on L, A. e. w.

Operation on L. A. e. w.
The United States Fuel Admins
tration has addressed communica-
ton 20 Public Service Commissions,
mayors. city councilmen, city com-
missioners and street railway officials
OF the United States. calling upon
them as a patriotic duty to adopt
the so-called Skip Stop System in
order to conserve fuel and man
power. Although the Lewiston. ALL
gusta & Waterville Street Railway
obtains the power used for the op-
Grafton Of its cars primarily from
hydro-electric stations. still this wa
ter-power has to be largely supple
nented by steam generated power
and the request Of the Fuel Admins
tration therefore has a direct ,.ppli-
cation to the local street railway.
The so-called Skip-Stop System
which has been inaugurated with
great success in many cities through
out the country, is nothing more or
lance between stops. 80 that the av-
erase number OF stops per mile Ia re-
duced. resulting in marked saving
in the use Of power and better GER
vice, on account Of the saving in
time In stops which have been elm
mated. The inconvenience to the
travelling public introduced by great
CIR spacing of stops is practically neg
ligible and a very small con,rluur1on
upon their part toward an important
item in conservation and winning
the war.
The officials Of the Lewiston, Au-
gusta & Waterville Street Railway
have been studying this problem,
and will first introduce the Skip Stop
System on the line between Augusta
and Gardiner. where it will show the
greatest benefits, both in conserva-
ton Of power and betterment Of SER
vice. In order to fully acquaint its
patrons with the new stops all pres
emit stops will be designated with pla-
cards at once, which will indicate
those stops to be retained and those
to be abolished. Commencing Oct. IL.
the 0ew system of stops indicated by
the black placards will be the only
stops which the cars will make. The
public Is asked by the management
OF the railway to bear in mind that
this Is a war measure requested by
the national government. and that
any small inconvenience which re-
suits Is helping nationwide con-
servation measure. This policy Of
extending the distance between stops
will be eventually applied to all of
the lines Of the railway.

In The Red. Red Heart" stress
should be laid upon the fact that this
is an adaptation by Bess Meredith
from the very well-kno.wn novel,
The Heart of the Desert" by Hon

tor Of the Delineator. and is known
for half a dozen celebrated novels,

The story was directed by Wilfred

producer but as an actor also. He
also plays the chief supporting role
in The Co Respondent" Jewel.
Particular mention should be made
of Monroe Salisbury, for this is one
of his best roles. 1t is somewhat
similar to that of Allesandro in "Ra-

prominence.
