AUGUSTA ON WAY TO OVER THE
TOP IN FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

which Mrs. Francis Farnum IL chair
man. has an adequate supply of cars
at the disposal Of all committees engag-
ed in epidemic work. Il
Mrs. George A. Coombs Is in direct
charge of all nursing in connection
with the epidemic. She is assisting
the Red Cross to get complete rec
ord Of all available nurses in the ter
ritory of the Augusta district. She is
also attempting to secure a. many
volunteer aids a. possible.
The Red Cross especially urges
anyone who is willing to do nursing
through this epidemic to go at once
to the Red Cross rooms In the Au-
gusta Trust building and register.
Even under the most favorable
conditions. help is going to be need
ed. For example, case was discov-
cred yesterday, in which the mother
was sent to the hospital, leaving an
IL months old baby, in charge of a
1S year old girl. In other cases, ac-
tuaf nursing Of the sick must be done.
The Red Cross appeals to every wom-
an who is competent to do volunteer
nursing to enlist In this service.
1t IL the hope of the committee
that one or more district nurses may
be put on duty, to work in homes
where part time services would be In
valuable in nursing the sick and In
preventing the spread Of the epidemic
Mrs. Blaine S. viIes, director Of
branches, has been in touch with the
branches and auxiliaries in the small
er towns and is ready to throw the
weight of Red Cross assistance
wherever it may be needed. At present
epidemic conditions are not serious
in any of the towns of the Augusta
chapter and as far as can be learned
the local supply OF doctors and
rugses is adequate. II conditions
should take turn for the worse, the
outlying districts will have to depend
upon Augusta. Mrs. viles has ar
ranged with each branch that they
can call on the Red Cross for assist
ance In case 1t is needed.
The Red Cross is going right FOR
ward with a careful Organization ST
It's resources in order to be ready to
meet any situation that may arise. It
Is believed and hoped that Augusta
is going to escape a heavy visitation
OF the epidemic: but it is felt safest
to make all arrangements and to lend
the aid Of the Red Cross to stamping
it out entirely from Augusta and the
surrounding towns.

Yesterdays subscription for Liberty
Bonds was $52.5oo That brings the total
amount subscribed to $50. 100 and leaves
only $4,000 to be subscribed during the
two days that remain.
The loan drive has developed into q
typical Augusta wind up. workers-both
Of the woman's division and the Boy
Scouts-have been soliciting busily; at
the banks the hard-driven forces have
been called on to work harder than ever,
and In Augusta homes a last final
checking over OF resources has been 60
ing on, with the result that the number
Of people who are doubling up is
enormous.
Only $3S. $50 per day has to be raised
in the two remaining days Of the drive
to put Augusta over the top. with ev-
erybody working with a will this
amount viii be raised.
