JoHn Coughlin has a fine etoc’- of

Curing the lnfluenaa epidemic.
Dr. Catherine A. Rowe of Brighton,
■eaaa, who had for the past two
weeks been the guest of Miss Cath
erine Dailey on Bradbury street, left
on the 9.36 train. Friday morning for
her home.
It will be remembered that one
day last spring among pther local
matters the Journal published a par
agraph aboi^t a man on the east eide
of the river who had a good laugh
at his wife because (he thougnt so
at any rate), in planting her sweet
peas she .mt in some cement by mis
take Instead of the fertiliser which
she had Intended to use. The wife
said nothing at the time, for the two
receptacles containing the cement
and the fertiliser were both tn the
shed, and she could not say but what
she had made the mistake which her
husband claimed, and so she sub
mitted to being Joked by her bet
ter half until finally he let the mat
ter go by. The wife, however, kept
her eyes on that part of her garden
where she had planted the sweet
peas, and finally when the peas came
up she was convinced that her hus
band did not have so much of a j jite
oivher as he had thought. The hus
band had by thac time forgotten ail
about the incident connected with
the planting, but not so the wife, !
and one day when the peas were
In blossom and were one of the
beauty spots of her garden, she call
'd Tier husband's attention to them.
Now it so hnppcns that although he
Is a great joker no one hates more
to be made the victim of a Joke than
he, and ns might be expected under
the circumstances, he said nothing
and His wife, more considerate cf the
feelings of others than he had been
at planting time, did not take ad
vantage of him. So the matter was
not spoken of until some time later
when one evening, some of the neigh
bors had dropped in for a call, cne of
them asked the lady of the house
how she came out with her sweet*
peas. There was her chance and she
could not let it go by, and as every
one in the room was looking at her
joker husband she replied: “Why, I
never raised any .better sweet peas in
my life than I did on that cement.”

VITA LAMP ADA
(Knur Wewboidt)
There’a • breathleta hush In the Cloee tonight—
Ten to make and the match to win—
A humping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And lt’e not for the sake of a ribboned-coat
Or the aelfleh hope of a season's fame,
But his captain's hand on his shoulder smote,
“Play up! play up! and play the game!**
The sand of the desert is sodden red—
Red with the wreck of a square that broke,
The gatling jammed and the Colonel dead
And the Regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed its banks,
And England’s far, and honor a name—
But the voice of a school boy rallies the ranks,
"Play up! play up! and play the game!”
This la the word that year by year
While in her place the school is Bet
Every one of the sons must hear,
And none that hears it dares forget.
Thus they all with a Joyful mind—
Bear their life like a torch in flame—
And failing, fling to the host behind,
"Play up! play up! and play the game!”
AUGUSTA REACHES AND
PASSES QUOTA UN FRIDAY
TOTAL NOW IS $727,250
$9S,450 FRIDAY
Augusta is over the top.
Yesterday’s subscriptions amount
ed to $98,450, and the total for the
drive is now $727,250. This is $27,
250 above Augusta’s total—and Satur
day’s subscriptions yet to be heard
from.
This showing entitles Augusta to
an honor flag, since it fulfilled the
other condition for an honor flag—
t~ wit, that 10 percent of the popula
tion bought bonds. Ut$ to last night
1,441 Augusta people had bought
bonds, which was nearly 100 above
the necessary one-tehth.
Getting over the top this time was
the supreme test vof Augusta's pat
riotism. Many conditions were un
favorable. The epidemic made pub
lic meetings impossible, many buy
ers in previous loans were not
through paying for the bonds bought
then, the drafts had thken away
many previous purchasers, retail
business men were feeling the reduc
tion In population and purchasing
power, War Savings Stamp pledges
had tied up many prospective buy
ers, especially in the industrial
plants. In spite of this and in spite
of a quota that seemed full high con
sidering Augusta's population and
financial resources, Augusta went
over the top with time to spare and
money to spare.
The Liberty Loan Committee of
Augusta met at the Augusta Sav
ings Bank yesterday afternoon, with
George E. Macomber presiding, and
transacted routine business. At this
meeting the following resolution was
passed: “Voted, that the Liberty
Loan Committee convey to the ladles
of the Ladies’ Liberty Loan Commit
tee of Augusta its thanks for their
efforts in obtaining pledges to the
amount of $147,850.’’
At this meeting a letter was read
from County Chairman Emery, ex
plaining that the quota of Togus had
lipen placed too high and that, de
spite a really remarkable campaign
there, $6,000 was still lacV»*»g of the
$25,000 quota, and requesting that
Augusta either assume the difference
or split it on a 50-50 basis with Wat
erville. The Committee votel to sup
ply the needed $6,000 from Augusta s
sales and thus help to put Togus
over the top. The comtnittee was
outspoken in praise of the great work
done at Togus. With a population of
about 800 people 259 subsctlpttons
have been taken.

WOMEN’S TOTAL $147,850
On Friday the working committees
of the Woman’s division of the
Fighting Fourth made their last re
port, amounting to $2,600 to Mrs.
Paul D. Sargent, the Augusta chair
man.
This brought the final amount of
bonds placed by this division to
$147,850. a substantial evidence of
the desire of the women of Augusta
to do their share in floating the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
The eight Ward chairmen, Mrs.
Ellinwood, Mrs. Macomber, Mrs.
Parrott, Mrs. Laliberte, Mrs.
Knowles, Mrs. Tobey, Mrs. Hamblin
and Mrs. McFarlane, have turned in
very even reports day by day during
the drive, showing that good work
has been done untiringly in every
part of the city every day through
the drive.
In making her last formal report
on Friday Mrs. Sargent added this
expression of her appreciation of
the work of the ward chairmen and
their committees: “The chairman of
the Woman's Loan Committee of
Augusta wishes to express to the
different captains and their teams
grateful appreciation and thanks
for their faithful services, which
have brought such splendid results
in the campaign.”
Mrs. Guy P. Gannett, county chair
man, reported that worlj ih the coun
try would continue through Satur
day and the final returns from the
various districts would be ready oil
Monday.
To the Worftan’9 Division in Litch
field belongs the honor of having put
the town over the top. Mrs. Herbert
W. Maxwell, their chairman, made
the following report: ‘‘The Men’s
committee gave the Woman's Divi
sion the first week to see what they
could do, and in four days the town
bad exceeded its quota more than
one thousand dollars, and won the
honor flag which will hang beside
the service flag. I cannot tell exactly
how much we have on hand but it is
more than $12,100. I had a letter from
Mr. Emery telling me this was the
only town in the state to his knowl
edge that has been put over the top
solely by the efforts of the woman's
Liberty Loan committee.”
Though the Augusta Woman’s Di
vision completed its work oh Friday
there is still one day for the Women
of Augusta, who have not subscribed
to the loan, to do so. The Boy Scouts
will be busy on Saturday making
solicitations and the banks will be
open to receive subscriptions.
