Fellow citizens and yet as much
foreign in nature and environment
as if they were residents Of some iso-
lated part of the old world--that, in
way, describes the people among
whom Lyman Ward has been work.
ing for years.
Mr.. Ward will be the speaker at
the Open Forum in the Winthrop
street Universalist church on Sun
day evening. His subject will be
"The Race Questionable White Man
and the Negro Living Together as
Neighbors and Friends" For TWEEN
ty years, Mr.. Ward has been doing
his wonderful work among the poor
whites" of Alabama. He has gained
an insight into their lives equalled by
no other man. He has a story OF in
innate personal experience that is in
structive and even astounding.
With the numerous lynchings that
are continually being reported, the
alleged assaults by negroes on white
women. the bounding of the black
people and other outbreaks, the ne
gro problem is today almost as great
as it was sixty years ago. But it is
not of the negroes Mr.. Ward speaks.
He tells Of the work he has been do
ing at The Southern Industrial In
stitute for white youth at Camp Hill,
Alabama It is a narrative like that
given by no other speaker in the
country, for the work itself is like no
. other work.
An unusually large audience is ex-
pected at the Forum Sunday evening.

THElEACUE OF
WOMEN VOTERS

1.-THE League Of Women Voters is
not in the least partisan political
party" said one of the members
Thursday. "Now that the franchise
is soon to be extended to women.
thousands all over the country who
have had no wish for suffrage. as
we'll as thousands who have worked
to get the vote, are studying civil
government in earnest. When re-
sponsibility is put upon a person
there is only one sensible thing to
do: that is, to fit ones self to meet
it, squarely and as wisely as possi-
BILE. To fit ourselves to do this is the
main object Of this club. Whether we
are democrats or republicans is not
at all the question; it is whether we
are interested in more fully equip
ping ourselves with facts regarding
the simple principles of our own city
management, the way our officials
are elected, our city finances, ETC.,
and many other practical things,
which we learn at the meetings"
ALSO each evening there is an adj
dress by an authority on his line.
Talks are soon to be given on such
subjects as these: 9TH League of
Women Voters and it's Relation to
the Augusta City Schools" by the
superintendent of schools: 1.-THE Pri-
mary Law and Elections in General"
by Lewis A. Burleigh; THE Finan-
ces of Augusta" by the city treas
urer; and other addresses Of equal
value will follow. There is a practi-
cal, definite aim in view; the League
is not n personal affair. it is not an
affair of any clique or set; it is not
a social affair. 1t is a meeting open
to every woman of US in Augusta
who are interested in the future of
our country and anxious to learn, in
order to make themselves a greater
power, stronger and more efficient"
"The meetings are largely attend
ed; they are held every other Tues
day evening, at 7.30, in the Y. M. c.
A. building. The annual league dues
are fifty cents but every woman is
welcome, whether she joins or not.
No matter how many organizations
she belongs to, she ought to set apart
Tuesday evening, every other week,
for this important duty. Education
is duty. We are all beginning this
study together, for until now, there
has been no especial need for the
ordinary woman to know much about
politics. Now the need for more
knowledge has arisen and We are
going to meet it."
1.-The next meeting Of the league
will be Tuesday evening. March 9Th.
at 7.30, in the Y. M. c. A. building.
and H. H. Stuart, superintendent Of
the Augusta city schools, will speak
on the subject above named.

SPLENDID GROWTH
OF LEGION AUXILI-
ARIES IN MAINE

State Commander Colonel Albert
Greenlaw says that the manner in
which the women are interesting
themselves in the organization Of the
Auxiliaries to the American Legion
is very gratifying. 1t has been about
six weeks since the Maine Depart
ment has been authorized to proceed
with their organization, but already
Is auxiliaries are in working shape,
with applications for new charters
coming along at a rapid rate.
The assistance that will be rem
dered the World War boys by the
women Of the auxiliaries will be
more pronounced as the years go by
and in time, the women will doubt
less be considered one Of the most
important parts of the entire or
ganization.
The growth of the American
Legion itself in Maine has been al
most phenomenal, over 100 posts
having been organized-with the
Legion a little less than a year old
The preliminary meeting for form
ing such an organization was held in
February, 1919, in Paris and the real
organization meeting in March of

Setting Our Own House in Order

Five thousand shoe merchants in
at Boston last month con-
cluded that the public's conception
Of unfair dealing was largely because
of abuses practiced by a small mi
nority of tricky dealers and deter
mined, through their National Asso-
citation, to purge the trade of such
unfair practices. A general plan
was outlined whereby the Attorney
General will approve appointments
of shoe vigilance officers in the vari-
Gus districts. With the authority Of
the Federal Government behind it,
the National Shoe Association will
undertake to efficiently police the
shoe business and assure the public
of fair dealing and protection from
practices such as have undermined
the public confidence.
Shoe Vigilance Committees will
work in cooperation with Fair
Price Committees in all sections.
Complaints will be investigated and
dealt with on their merits. Offenders
will be given the chance to reform
or take the legal consequences.

SCRIPTURE


A good name is better than precious oint-
ment; and the day Of death than the day OF
ones birth.
1t is better to go to the house Of mourn
ing than to go to the house Of feasting ::
for that is the end Of all men; and the
living will lay IL to his heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by
the sadness of the countenance the heart Is
made better.
The heart OF the wise Is the house of
mourning; but the heart Of fools is in the
house of mirth.
It is better to hear the rebuke Of the
wise. than for a man to hear the song
Of fools.
For as the cracking Of thorns under q
pot, so Is the laughter Of the fool: this also
Is vanity
Surely oppression maketh a wise man
mad and a gift destroyeth the heart
Better Is the end OF a thing than the be
ginning thereof: and the patient In spirit
is better than the proud in spirit
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry I;
for anger resteth in the bosom Of fools
Say not thou, What Is the cause that the
former days were better than thesel for
thou dost not enquire wisely concerning
this
