A good many thousands of dollars have been cheerfully pledged to the reorganized Merchants mid Manufac turers' Association for the purpose of booming Augusta—-for the purpose of bringing more people to Augusta for the puriiose of encouraging the In dustrl&l. manufacturing and commer cial Interests of Auguhtu. Time after time, the aame thing haa happened with other civic bodies —thousands, hundreds of thousauda of dollars, have been raised and spent by the citizens of Augusta, in similar organizations and for the sumo pur pose The only thing that secured the generous subscriptions this time from the varied lines of business and from the many public spirited citizens ot Augusta wile the hope and the | rom Ise that the McKeand Wlbon plan of organization under which the reor ganization of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association was un derlaken this time, guaranteed some thing different, bomothlug different In organization, something different In purpose and spirit, something dif ferent In the results to be achieved by such an organization. Thin Is the high hope held out— tills Is the high purpose of the reor ganized Merchants and Manufactur era' Association- this Is the great re suit that Augusta looks to see the Merchants and Manufacturers' Asao elation accomplish for the growing city and her many lines oT industry. The Herald wishes to help tile Merrhants and Manufacturers' Asso elation to which It has subscribed as a contributing member for three \eais accomplish this result for the city of Augusta llut at the same time It wishes to remind the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association that It has undertaken a big task for the •'hole city, and that in view of past hlatory Augusta aa a whole Is going to be critical, friendly critical, help fully critical of Its efforts until the whole city has become convinced that the reorganized Merchants and Manu facturers' Aaaoclatlou Is delivering t , goods Uel’a Augusta on the map. Let a make Augusta known to more nud more people of this country as a good place to do busineas In, to live in and to raise children In. It's a bigger and better and busier Augusta that we all want to see and all An gusts looks to the Merchants nn 1 Manufacturers’ Association to lead In this good work for the good old town.

More true this year than ever. National thrift has not only reclaimed a great part of the Zuyder Zee. that great shallow sea to the north, but has saved practically the whole area of Holland from the in roads of the sea and the overflow of the rivers. The reclaimed lands are liistrlnsloally worth the high prices paid for them. The windmills so prominent In Dutch paintings are finger posts which point to Dutch thrift The rivers and canals which Intersect them form a navigable net-work all over Holland which Is unique In the world. "Thrift Is good revenue." Happiness Is an Inevitable result of true thrift, and the Dutch combln* pleasure with theirs. They have made their skating areas and they are the best skaters In the world. They skate to business and to school, to funerals, to social and church affairs. The ocean is not the most treacherous and formidable foe of this tit tle country, which Is not only flat hut hollow (hence ItH name—Holland.) Great embankments or dykes, on whose flat surface carriage roads have been built, shut off the ocean, twenty-five feet at high tide above the level of the farms But the rlvera swollen by heavy rains and melting snow are much more dangerous. There are times every winter when men and women turn out and patrol the dykes. There was a profit to Holland of billions of dollars In reclaiming that country from floods and swamps In the United tates there are great areas of swamps anil lands subject to Inundation, about 76,000,000 acres, rich alluvial lands worth when reclaimed the tidy mrai of thirty to forty billion dollars Hy the expenditure of half a billion dollars the floods which cause annual losses of property, estimated hy the National Drainage Congress at $100,000,000 a year, could he largely prevented and the swamps reclaimed The profit will be approximately $35,000,000,000 plus the crops which would be grown on the land reclaimed. Yet there Is apathy in the United States about doing thut which made Holland rich and famous. SIDELIGHTS DM MEXICO What the U. S. Marines Did in the Boxer Usrising. Account ol the Gallant Little Corps Which is Older Than the Republic Itself. What Major Waller Said. (By a Veteran.) Washington, D. C It was the .am pnlKti of the Allies against the Boxers In 11*00 They had captured Tientsin by a hard three-day battle. A conference had been called of all the commander* to discuss the ques tion of advancing or waiting for rein forcement". (lenereal Hobert Meade, In command of the I'nlted States ma rines. was 111 and Colonel I.illleton T Waller, then a major, was the Ju nior officer of the representatives of many nations In the conference. One by one the elder men gave (lirii opinions that there was no op pressing need of an advance and that the ttvops must have several more days of recuperating Finally, Major Waller's opinion was ashed and he stood up and asid "Gentlemen, 1 don't know just what the rest of you mean to do. but the marines start for Pekin at 0 o’clock In the morning." The marines dll start at 6 o'clock In the morning, taking the allies along. This incident was recalled to my mind on si-eltig that Colonel Waller iiad been ordered east from the ror.at ami Is likely to get mixed up In the doings in Mexico. Wallers reply was tv; leal oT the gallant little corns which Is older than the republic Itself. An act of the continental congress in 1775, a year before the Declaration of Independence, organised the cort>s along the lines of a similar llrltlsh body. Just one hundred years before the marines battered at the gates of the Forbidden City they did a heroic feat in Tripoli. In tSuit a detachment of these soldiers of the sea marched 600 miles across the \frlcan de-ert to subjugate t h o Insolent tyrants of the Mediterranean. They pulled lown the malodorous flag of the Tripollana utid hoisted the Star Spangled Banner Over the ancient fortress before a horde which had In larbe number never seen It before. The marine as it fighting .man aboard ship Is said hv one historian to date bark to the Persian Empire, Marini's are mentioned In connection with the battle of laide. In the time of Darius I. King of Persia, about 495 B In the old day* of engagements at close quarter* the marines were the “cutlass crews.’* The fighting of na val battle* at a range of five to ten miles has destroyed the usefulness of the s ashing hoarder, hut there Is plenty of work left for the soldier of se» and land As Josephus Daniel*, secretary of the navy said recently: "The marine* hnd bluejackets have I I INDOOR SPORTS oft By Tad rendered valiant service at Vera Crux. The marines as well as the bluejackets have proved their calibre, ulwuys understood by our own people as well as those of other nations. It is the marine who is always called upon to form the entering wedge, to blue the trial In landing on foreign shores." To illustrate the manifold service® of the marine, let us take the exam ple of Haggerty, oue of the three ma rines who fell in the first day's fight ing at Vera Crux lie had been under tire at Samnr and again at Pekin He had gone into action twice lu Nica ragua and had had rifle aimed In hts direction In Haytl. Just one hundred years after their march lo Trlioli the I'nlted States' marines touched again ou African soil hut ou tile peaceful mission of escort ing a representative of the state de pitrliuent to the court of Ming Meue llk of Abyssinia They took u camel hack ride of several hundred mill's Between the Pekin expedition aud this they also bail a touch of excite meut at Samar, Panama and Colon, and even while detachment was cross ing the Abyssinia sands another band ol their comrades was abiding In quelling the insurrection of 1905 In Seoul, Santo Domingo. Haytl. The warships are manned by sea men or bluejackets, who, iu time ol need, must become soldiers (or ser vice ashore The marine Is a soldier pure and simple. Hts uniform rearm hit's that of a soldier except that he has an actual part in the mannlug of the ship, lu that he has his regular duty alioard with a 'battle station," to which lie must spring whenever “battle stations" is sounded, and the ship goes Into action. Among other things the marine must possess good eyesight, for un der modern conditions with high-pow ered rifles, the greater part of land fighting would he done at a range of about a mile. The training of the marines in cludes not only the signal drills, searchlight ami heliograph practice tn which the soldiers of the Briny are trained, hut also the drills peculiar to the management of a ship of war, such as the use cf the wireless wig wag, signalling, aemaphone signalling, and in many eases the handling of small boat* Improve Your Complexion.
