HER SACRIFICE-AND YEARS

With proud heart and firm smile what has she done? Made supreme sacrifice cf Mother hood-her son; Her patriotism, her loyalty cannot bn measured by mere dollars For she has given her hearts blood and her very soul follows. If you give every dollar that you have dear sirs; Your sacrifice would be as nothing compared to hers. But remember you have only been ask ed to lend To invest in the best security in the world, you begin. Ninety five billion dollars this war has already cost, The amount wouldn't pay one mother for her loss. The third Liberty bond must hasten the end, Purchase in the right spirit, and we are sure to win. Just now the greatest battle of the war is raging so Hundreds of thousands of our boys are facing the cruel foe. Into the trenches filled with blood and rnire, Into clouds of poison gas, and the streams of liquid fire With our help they'll drive the enemy back Our third Liberty loan will test what We lack. To escape unspoakable ruin, our boys :, must have the victory, Every Liberty bond you buy, will help to tell the story. We must gc deeper and lend on til 1t hurts, Brace the back, grit the teeth, and lets get to work Every Liberty bond that can be cas- fly spared will not be enough, A spirit of sacrifice, hero at home is the right kind of stuff.

 The "hold-over" members of the ad- ministration are Mayor Simon Bloom, Treasurer Harvey Hogg, and Alder ment R. M. Vance. W. C. McBryde, E. T. Miller and c. E. Dalby.
 Appointments and salaries of ap- pointive officials were considered at an executive session. The appoint ments will be announced at tha meet ing next Monday night.
 Plans for the next year include, it is understood, complete motcrization of the fire department, additional street improvement, and the beau tification of Bellwood cemetery and the erection there of chapel.

Gated at Camp Hancock, near Augusta,

chine Gun instruction book took on a

for new fielda where the Machine Gun
instruction could be developed UNI
hampered by local limitations.
Accordingly our vast country was
scanned for a suitable Gun Training
Center, and our war department final
ly selected the National Guard Di-
visional Camp near Augusta, Ga, as
most adapted, on account of its sandy
soil and all year-round training eli
mate. Augusta has long been on the
map as a winter tourist resort
The Machine Gun Training Center
embodies machine gun school Of en-
listed and commissioned students who
arc trained to become highly expert
machine gun instructors; a main
training depot where men Of ali ranks
are prepared for the machine IN ser
vice; a specialist school where special
lists, such as cooks, mechanics and
signallers ar trained; a central ma
chine gun officers training school
where selected officer candidates from
all over the United States are given

tain officers as machine gunners. In
