BABY WELFARE WEEK

One of the developments of the profound and growing in- terest in the welfare of babies during the past few ears is the Baby Welfare Week. The pur- pose is two-fold, first to give to the parents of a community the opportunity of learning more facts about the care of babies, second to make known to a community the impor- tance of it's babies and the need of permanen work for their welfare. hTese purpos- es are carried out in various ways, viz., by newspaper and advertising publicity, by meet ings and entertainments.
 A baby welfare week will be held in McCrory and sur rounding community begin ming April 5, and lasting until April 12. The form for this week will be announced later. There will be no elaborate programs as this will demand considerable expense and la- Dor. The community is anxi- ous nevertheless to bring the subject of babies to the atten- tion of the public to an extent that will bring substantial re- suits.

FIRE AT AUGUSTA

Fire starting back of White River Cafe Wednesday night, spread to the adjoining build ings and completely destroyed the White River Cafe, c. L. Adamson's Jewelry store, Den nis' pool hall, J. G. Battle tai Tor shop, Dickinson's grocery store and ware house belong ing to the Augusta Cooperage Go. Sparks from this blaze set fire to the roof of Wade Sales home, two blocks from the original fire and burned it to the ground.
 Nothing was saved from the cafe. The show cases and some of the stock that was in the front part of the jewelry store was saved, but the ma- chinery in the rear was des- troyed. The building was owned by a man in Batesville. Most of the fixtures of the pool room and barber shop and some of Dickinson's grocery stock were saved. The build ing was owned by I. J. Stacy.
 J. c. Battle saved his press ing machine and clothing. No insurance was obtainable on this property, on account of the proximity of frame build ings.
 Part of the furniture in MT. Sales residence was saved, but the fire had gained so much headway before it was noticed that it was impossible to enter the building.
 A steady north wind confn- ed the path of the fire to one direction, or perhaps there might have been more serious results. Sparks and burning shingles were carried nearly to New Augusta and several fires that might have resulted disas- triously were quenched. The total loss is estimated at $25,00O.

 Then during the fall months of 1918 the purse strings of Americas citizens were cut with willing hands. For the Fourth Liberty Loan = the Fighting Liberty Loan-the al- most inconceivable sum of six billions of dollars was asked by the United States Govern ment to prosecute the war. What the answer was is his tory-glorious history.
 It required the most san- guine optimist then to predict a victory over Germany before the summer that is now ap- preaching. Thousands of the best and bravest young men of America, the flower of the country, were daily offering up and giving their lives for the veal of humanity. They were suffering ghastly wounds in f1icted by weapons such as only the brutality of Germans most vicious minds could fash ion; they were being blinded and tortured with poisonous gases that Germany introduc- ed against all ages into mod ern warfare, and they were ly ing in the mud of slimy trench es, deprived of every comfort with each recurrent day sap ping their vatility that Ameri- ca might be saved.
 Then could anyone in abso- lute authority have promised 8 victory before Europe was locked in winters grasp, the total wealth of this rich land would unhesitatinngly have been placed at the nations dis posal, that the lives of count less thousands of the flower of American manhood need not be sacrificed.
 Now more money is need ed to pay the bills-the debt that was incurred that the life of your boy and your neigh bor's boy might not be offered up on the sacrifcial altar of war, must be paid. Money is needed to bring him back to the land that gave birth to the stars and stripes. Money is needed to complete the recon and to Finish the Job."

THOUGHT TO BE LIVING

II now appears that George Zurich
and Adolph Aberg, who were said TO
have been killed by the Bolsheviki in
Russia last year, are alive and well.
The report of their death at the hands
of the Reds was widely circulated and
was received with regret by wrestling
fans in this country, with whom the
big fellows were very popular
However, word has been had re-
Gently from an authoritative source
in Europe that the wrestlers, though
marked for death by the Bolsheviki
because of their loyalty to the i'm
perialistic forces in Russia, escaped
their would-be assassins, and it is be
lieved that they may return to the
United States.
