AUGUSTA IN 1914.
1914 has betL the most
progressive year Augusta lias
experienced in the past twenty
'ears.
1914 has seen the begin
ing, the getting under way,
le successful culmination of
pre wide-reaching and pro
gressive movements for the
upbuilding of Augusta than
any single year in the history
of the city.
1914 has been remarkable
not only for its material
achievements, for the un oubt
ed and undisputed material
and concrete facts that are in
evidence on ev iry side of the
growth of Augusta, but it is
even more significant as being
the year of the birth of the
Augusta spirit that is animat
ing the whole city—that is
rapidly rebuilding and upbuild
ing Augusta.
For years the cry has been
i for a Bigger and a Better Au
«,'|H9l4 shows to the world
the New Augusta is no
wer a dream but an accom-
Hsned fact.
■ In this issue of The Herald
■-“Augusta in 1914” Edition
be found the story of
| the New Augusta —a record of
I what the city and its citizens
are doing *or the upbuilding of
Augusta. It is a remarkable
story of big things. No city in
the country, the size of Augus
ta, has ever undertaken at one
time such splendid public im
provements on as big a scale
and the various lines of in
dustry, manufacturing, com
merce, transportation facili
ties, educational growth, and
building and construction work
are keeping pace with the
swift pace set by the city.
V,
The story of “Augusta in
1914” — The big things the
city is doing, and a sketch of
the activities of the business
concerns of the city and of
many of the citizens who are
leaders in this forward commu
nity, spirit of 1914 .will be
found in the pages of this
edition.
“Augusta in 1914” is a new
Augusta to many of its own
citizens — lt will be a newer
Augusta indeed to many away
from Augusta who have not
kept in close touch with the
recent rapid growth and de
velopment of the city. Many
evidences of the new Augusta
. are here presented both in
illustration and in story.
The Herald has had sub
stantially bound a numher of
copies of “Augusta in 1914”

THAT Rums \ From a c£a/T ou&h/r j wgg£
SAFETY AND SANITY, BY ALL
MEANS.
We ara emphatically for a leas
barbaric celebration of Christmas
niifl we find a peculiar pleasure .n
taking up the matter at, tils time.
Our enemy, the small boy, whose de
light it is to torture our nerves and
nuke Christmas an ordeal of peculiar
horror is now engaged in other af
fairs, eating green apples, endanger
ini his life in swimming sports, and
the like, jasehall is absorbing his
mind and the time to get ahead of
him is now.
Christinas is one of those d m and
chstailt considerations, w i eh it is a
waste of time for him to bother over
now. So if we tire to steal a march
cn him let it ho now, when the sum
mer diversions are working in our
lavor.
We have an innumerable list ol ar-
Ruments against turning Christmas
nto a noisy and irreverent revel, but
not luiowng why it is that tile noisy
boys are permitted to take their
pleasure at the expense of those
older and less lascinated with de
tonations, we scarcely know which of
our very good reasons lo sat forth.
Usually, tile Christinas noises are
excused on the ground that ho..s must
be boy’s, but this glittering generality
has never convinced us- Girls must
be girls, too, and grown folks must
he grown folks. Let the hoys be
boys, but don't let .hem feel that it
is necessary to lie horrible and m rd
di ning in order to make good on
their l o. shness.
Even a small boy and exuberant
boy, ought to know Mat the i igiits
ol other people who are inhabiting
tiiis world with him are til ngs lo be
thought of -even at ClM’istmas time.
Of course, we are not so inhuman
and atrophied in sympathies with
youth as to deny Mat the past holds
happy recollections of Christmas
fireworks and the thrills they broug.it
us, tlie I urt fingers, the singed eye
brows, and such, like all th ugs un
pleasant grow dim in memory while
tile Inn and excitement leaves us
lasting call. Had it not been tor this,
the Christmas lirecraeker would
have been exterminated long ago,
along with other peats and inconven
iences we have outgrown.
It is all well to he sentimental
about letting boys be boys, but It
doesn't pay to run the risk of tright
ful accidents for such explosive and
unpleasant symptoms of boyishness.
Resides we can't help feeling that
boys will be boys without firecrack
ers at Christmas, just the same
EXIT JONES—WHAT NEXT?
The president is very dignified and
very wise in withdrawing tie name
ol Thomas D. Jones, since tin* sena
tors who are opposed to this nomina
tion -have shown themselves so bit
ter and stubborn. It is generall un
derstood that the fight lias not been
so much upon Jones as against the
president. But the president knows
when it is WiJe to retreat.
It was a game not worth the candle
and one in which Mr. Jones was get
ting unwarrantably insulted. The
whole obstruction is due simply, as
President Wilson's letter sei ior •>.
to the Republican minority rif tile
banking committee who have been
eonsistenly helped in their pi ms of
obstruction by two of the majority,
who are supposed to lie Democrats.
Reed, of Missouri, and Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, are able to serve the Re
publicans far more effectivel as Dem
ocrats th in as Republicans-
In view of the pressing legislation,
it is better to call this little battle
off. The victory and the shame rest
upon the Democratic obstructionists.
It is now In order for President Wil
son to send in anotner name. We
shall soon be given very strong proof
of what Senators Reed and Hitch
cock’s real motives are. If the plan
is that through Messrs. Reed and
Hitchcock, the Republican minority
ot the banking committee, is* to dic
tate the choice oi (he federal reserve
board, we shall see another struggle
later on. There are doubtless other
men than Jones, who have the ability
and experience to serve the nation
in this capacity, but after the little
exhibition which has been given in
the smite, t e, i ithllc will Tally real
i/.e that Senators Reed and Hitchcock
and taelr Republican allies are not
trying to find them, The president
rrgirds tiiis as an "ominous Inci
dent.". It pretends a very strong ef
fort to subvert the new system by
the selection of men. who will, as of
jore. serve the old patrons of govern
mental officials.
Mr \Vil3on has waived this issue,
hut w* »e * another one coming of
the same sort.

MOUSE’S NARROW ESCAPE.
(By Virginia Vale.)
Once upon a time little Mouse
thought to himself I guess I will
go out and see wiiat I can find
lor my supper. Perhaps Cook
has left the pantry door open and
1 can have a nice meal all by
myself.
Out he started and sure enough
theie was the pantry door open
wide and on th«j shelf the larg
est disli of cheese he had ever
seen.
“Kibble, nibble," he went until
lie had eaten all that. lie possibly
could. He started-to go back to
his home thinking he would tell
the rest of the family all about
the dish of cheese, for although
he had eaten all he could, there
was plenty left of it tor them.
Ha was running along as fast
as his little legs would carry him,
when out popped tne black cat
and before be could get awav,
the big cruel paw was holding
him fast. Oh how it did hurt
and poor Mouse gave one long
squeal and tried oh so hard to
wriggle away, but i ussy held him
last.
What could he do? How could
be get away? H e wishes now
he had staid in his hole. It was
better to be hungry than to be
hurt like this.
Just then a big black dog ran
into ttie yard and straight toward
them, barking as lie ran. When
pussy saw the dog she began to
arch up her back and her tail
gtew almost twice as big and she
started to spit arid growl.
On came the dog and higher
and higher went pussy's back
and louder her growls until at
last out went her paws toward
the dog and the mouse was free.
He didn't wait to see what the
cat and dog were doing but flew
to his home and didn't stop until
he was in, and up in a dark cor
ner. When he told his friends
"'lit had happened they thought
he was lucky to get away, for
puss doesn’t let go when she gets
a little mouse in her claws.
EXIT HUERTA
In seeking to maintain himself he (Hu
rcta) showed great resource and some
admirable personal qualities, rtnt in the
end even his proud and fatalistic spirit
saw that his power was but as a rope
of sand. His armies had suffered a se
ries of crushing defeats. In his own
country the forces of relielion were prov
ing lo he too strong for him. But the
chief cause of his downfall was perfect
ly clear to his own mind. He avows it
in Ids palling attack upon President Wil
son. The soldiet had been pitted against
a scholar. Arms yielded to ideals.
This is really the deen significance of
Wilson's triumph. He early laid down
a Mexican policy based on sheer ideal
ism fantastic id«;ilism, it was sneering,
iy called. Its essence was that he
would not recognize a Mexican govern
ment hased on usurpation and murder.
For this there Is no warrant in interna
tional law. it was said, and there is not.
Precedent was against It. so it was
cltarged. and the charge was true.
Nevertheless, the idealist clung to Ills
position through good report and through
ill. His appeals to Huerta were brus
quely rejected by that chieftain. But
tne scho.ar-President did not waver. Re
porting io Congress Huerta's refusal,
attd the flat failure of tile mission of
John Lind, he calmly left the whole issue
to time and the slow griding of lit*
mills of the gods, asserting that ’’the
steady pressure of moral force" would
break down the harriers of pride and
prejudice, and that "we shall triumph a>
Mexico’s friends sooner than we 7oui 1 ns
her enemies -and how much more hard
somely with how much higher and fitter
satisfactions of conscience and of m ti
er!" This day is that saying fulfilled
In the ears of his countrymen.
Nothing succeeds like success, even
when It is an idealistic success. Pin
prlckllng attacks may still he made
upon Wilson's Mexican policy, but they
ran produce little Impression. The pub
lic sees the large fact, and will not long
listen to men who say that it had no
business to conic about'in tliat way,—

HOW BILLY PIG WORKED.
"Billy Pig," said his mother one
morning, "I want you to go out in tin:
orchard, and gather the apples under
the trees: put them in a pile Then
you are to weed the garden at the end
of the orchard.”
“That is an awful lot of work to
ask a fellow to do," said Billy Pig, be
ginning to’ cry.
"Now, run along quick, before I cut
a switch from the bush, by the door
and tingle your legs,” said his moth

Billy. Pig did not reply to this. Ho
ran, but he gruhtbled all the way, and

There was Billy Goat grazing out
in the middle of the next lot nd not
doing a stroke of work. Billy Pig
stole softly back to the tree and began
to work. He had thought of something
that made him laugh as he worked.
He piled the good, apples under the
tree, and all the bad ones he carried
over by the stone wall.. Once he lay
down .on the ground and rolled over,
he was so pleased at something tie
was thinking about.
"That Billy Goat will get paid hack

Billy Pig took as many of the bad
apples as he could hold and stood on

Billy Goat, and before Billy Goat could
get upon his feet splash went another

USING THE GOOD AT HAND.
A family in New Carlisle, lnd„ liv
ing near the village of Bootjack,
found themselves in possession of a
fine old house and much more vege
tables, fruit and products from their
farm than they could use, with no
market or income from them. The
house was situated on the old stage
line where many tourists and travelers
passed. The roads from Michigan
City, Valparaiso and La Porte came
together at that point in the form of
a bootjack, and in the old days when
that contrivance was used to remove
a man’s boots there used to be three
taverns alohg this road. So this fam
ily combined their need, and that of
!he hungry traveling public, house
and the garden products, (tut out a
prominent sign, "The Bootjack Inn.”
and in seven weeks after making this
start found they had served about four
hundred dinners. Fried chicken, now
potatoes, fresh vegetables, home grown
strawberries, cherries, etc., home made
cheese made rich with cream, practi
cally everything raised on the farm
supplied the table to the great satis
faction of both patrons and owners.
A similar case is that of a woman
who lived near the center of a small
town where all -the surounding country
came to market and shop. The wives
of the farmers tisualy finished their
shopping in an hour or so, hut their
himUonds not through with their
down Billy Goat’s face, and he winked
and blinked to get it out of his eyes.
When at last he could see, he looked
in ail directions, but no one waws in
sight.
Billy Pig was watching him through
the wall, and laughing so hard that
lie had to fill his mouth with grass, so
Billy Goat could not hear him.
After a while Billy Goat walked to
another part of the lot and stretched
out on the grass; hut no sooner had
he done so than splash! splash!
splash! came more bad apples, this
Viifrht on his back.”
"Ah, ah!” said Billy Goat; “they
are on other side of that fence. I’ll
scare them,” and held his head low’ and
ran toward the wall where Billy Pig was
hiding. But Billy Pig stopped laughing
and nun when he say Billy Goat com
ing toward hint, and lie did not stop
until he reached the garden, at the
end of the orchard, where he hid un
der the weeds. Billy Goat listened
when he reached the stone wall. but
he did not hear a sound; so he stood
on his hind legs and looked over.
“That is funny," said Billy Goat;
“this is Billy Pig's orchard,arid I won
der who put all those apples there.”
Then he saw something that made him
jump over the wall. He had seen foot
prints in the soft-ground, and he look
ed very close.
Billy Pig was trembling so that the
weed moved, and with bound Bitty
Goat was upon him. He butted poor
Billy Pig from under the weeds, and
then out into the orchard, and roiled
him over and over in the wet earth
until he looked like a black pig instead
of a white one.
Billy Pig escaped at last, and he ran
for home, squealing all the way. His
mother heard him and came to the
door.
"What in the world is the matter,
and where have you been You look
like a tramp pig," she said.
After much questioning his mother
got the whole story.
"You bad fellow,” she said, taking
Billy Pig by the ear. “If you would
work as hard trying to do right as you
do trying to do wrong, you would be a
smart fellow, instead of a lazy, trouble
some Billy Pig."
The she gave him a good scrubbing
and sent him to bed. and the next day
be had to work all day in the garden
to finish the weeding.

with; them. Obviously a waiting room,
at least, was very much needed. So
this woman renovated her old fashion

in a ccwtple of small rugs, comfortable
chairs, a writing table and a crib. This

was soon xvcll patronized and a source
of income to a woman who did not
have to leave her own home to earn
it.
There are many small towns w’hich
have no waiting room or rest room for
women where this plan might be car

room where che»ry hospitality is ex
tended w’ithout aA'.v suggestion of cu

great boon to mans towns of about
12,000 inhabitants. U» such places the

words, and caught the word “dig.”
These words could be given only one
«-«nstruetion in the minds of these
young men who had never loved work.
They immediately' began and they did
dig,—they turned over every foot of
the rich soil, and they dug deep. No
gold was found, but a little later seed
was put in this well prepared ground,
and legitimate treasure was found in
the abundance of the products from
