ONLY 10 DAYSLEFT FOR
AUGUSTA TO REACH AND
PASS nth LOAN QUOTA
$20,150 SATURDAY

Twenty thousand one hundred ana
fifty dollars for Saturday and $2ss.zo to.
tai for the drive were the Liberty Loan
figures given out Saturday by Richard
Goodwin, secretary Of the Augusta Lib
erty Loan committee.
The figure for the day was reasonably
good for a bank half-hohday but hardly
good enough to indicate that Augusta
will reach her quota-unless better work
is done. Seven Of the u working days
OF the drive are gone. If money is rails
ed each day at the rate it has been thus
far the total amount will fall short OF
500 .ooo-and Augustus quota, when ad-
justed, will probably be above that
amount.
Industrial organizations and banks are
yet to be heard from in force and their
contributions will help the total. The
great need in this drive. however, is to
reach all the people who ever contrib
uted beforehand a lot who never bought
bond before. Under the easy terms
that the banks and industrial organiza.
tons are making. almost any patriotic
person who is earning any sort Of wages
or salary can finance at least $50 bond
A vast number Of people who neve,
! financed one before must meet the stu
alton this time if Augusta is to 60 over
the top.

Old Soldier Does Fine Embro idery

Old Soldier Does Fine Embroidery
In the store Of Hincl<ley & O'Con-
nell at 231 Water street there are on
exhibition two specimens of excep-
tionally fine work in the way Of hand
embroidery in the line Of table run
ners, and what adds to the novelty of
the two pieces is the fact that they
are the handiwork of a man, and an
old man at that. People who stop to
admire the embroidery read on a card
attached to the runners that they
we're made by w. c. Martin of the
National Soldiers Home at Togus,
and that he is rs years of age. The
two pieces are done on art fabric.
which to the initiated resembles can
vas, and the embroidery was done
with Royal Society celeste, the de-
signs being Of a conventional type
and very pretty. A feature that
cannot be passed unnoticed is the
blending Of the colors used, which is
especially fine. Each piece bears a
tasteful border embroidered with gilt
lace and here again is shown the skill
Of the one who did the work, the ends
being completely concealed. Mr..
Martin, who is an old man. wars
man. delights in the work Of en-
broidery, of which he does a great
deal, and while he sells not a small
amount of what he does, he sends the
greater part Of it to a daughter in
Massachusetts,.

WATER DISTRICT TO
ESTABLISH WOOD YARD
On Bangor Street Corner North Bel
fast Road-WiIl Sell Seasoned Cord
Mood to AUGUSTA Citizens at Cost

On Bangor Street Corner North Bel
fast Road-WiIl Sell Seasoned Cord
Wood to Augusta Citizens at Cost
The Augusta Water District last
winter thought it would be good
time to cut off lot Of surplus wood
on the land owned by them around
Carleton pond and they have on hand
at this time rising 200 cords Of well
seasoned cord wood. Recently the
matter has been taken up and it has
been decided that they would have
this wood hauled into Augusta and
sell it to the citizens of Augusta at
cost, thus giving to many, who might
otherwise be short of q supply Of
wood, what they might need. The
intent is to only sell not exceeding a
certain amount to any one party.
Owing to the condition of the roads
it may not be possible to get this
wood into town until sometime in
November when the roads are either
drier or frozen. In the meantime, a
yard is to be established at the corner
Of Bangor street and the North Bel
fast road where Samuel Titcomb has
rendered the use Of a lot for the pur-
pose.
Superintendent ". W. Albee Of the
Water District will receive orders
and the wood can be delivered at the
house Of the purchasers or be taken
by them. II they prefer, at the lot.

One victim Of alcoholic stimulants
was before the municipal court Satur-
day morning to answer to the charge
Of intoxication. and on being declared
guilty was given a sentence of 30
days in Jail, which was however sus-
pended. The reason Of the foregoing
action on the part of the court was
that the man was one of a gang of
men from Boston who arrived in Au-
gusta on the 7.30 train Friday even
ing, bound for the Maine lumber
camps. and on his arrival in the city
he unwisely left the train only to
bring up later in the police station.
He was placed on the $50 train Sat-
urday morning and sent up river, but
as he had only what is known as a
party ticket" it is doubtful how far
the conductor allowed him to ride.

WOMEN'S DIVISION

The second week of Americas fourth
war loan is on. The fighting loan is in
full swing in Augusta with nearly two
thirds Of the quota yet to be raised,
though in many places the quotas are
complete and the campaign a thing of
the past.
It has been estimated that there
should be at least 100000 buyers of the
fourth issue If the 5000, 0O0, 900 is to be
raised inssthree short weeks. Augusta
has not bought her proportionate share
and those who are tagging or holding
back should fall in line and buy at once.
The woman's division in Augusta re-
ported $3.50 worth Of bonds sold on Sat-
urday. This was about half of the
amount usually reported. but as Satur-
day is a half-holiday with the banks
small returns were to be expected. The
total amount of bonds sold to date by
this division now stands at $1l9,sO0
Accounts Of the activities of the wo-
men throughout the county are begin
ming to come in to Mrs. Guy P. Gannett
county chairman. In Clinton the wo-
mans division has raised $3.50, in Ben
ton $3.50, and in Litchfield, where the
mems division has given over the first
week to the women. they have raised
$4,000. The woman's week is to extend
through Tuesday. and the men have
promised them dinner if they raise the
whole quota (saOOo more) in that time.
Eleven thousand two hundred dollars
has been raised and reported through
the efforts Of the womens division in
the surrounding districts.

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

The United States Fuel Admins
tration has addressed a communica-
ton to 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. Au-
gusta & Waterville Street Railway
obtains the power used for the OPP
GRAFTON of its cars primarily from
hydro-electric stations, still this wa
ter-power has to be largely supple
mented by steam generated power.
and the request of the Fuel Admins
tration therefore has a direct appli-
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
less than frightening out the dis
lance between stops. so that the av-
crage number of stops per mile is re-
duced, resulting in marked saving
in the use of power and better ser
vice, on account Of the saving in
time in stops which have been elm
mated. The inconvenience to the
travelling public introduced by great
er spacing of stops is practically neg
ligible and a very small contrivutlon
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
ent stops will be designated with pla-
cards at once, which will indicate
those stops to be retained and those
to be abolished. Commencing Oct. II,
the new 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 a nationwide con-
servation measure. This policy Of
extending the distance between stops
will be eventually applied to all OF
the lines of the railway.
