at Home Week begins tomorrow.
If the purpose behind Live at Home,
Trade at Home, Made at Home Week

week In the history of Augusta.
There Is promise that It will succeed.
Living at Home, Trading at Home,
Keeping Augusta Money at Home to
build up Augusta and to make pros
pirlty here the co-operative senti
ment underlying the movement —has
struck a popular chord. It lias grown
with leaps and bounds, the healthy
sentiment has become widespread, peo
ple of all classes and In all walks of
life have taken right on to It, since
two weeks ago the first announcement
wan made In Tim Herald regarding
l.'ve at Home Week.
I’ractlcully every manufacturer In
Augusta and vicinity, all the leading
retail merchants, the public generally
•ind the school system of the city are
enlisted In the co-operative, patriotic
r.ifvcmant to make Augusta a better
town, lo crystallize nn Augusta Kplrlt
tint will become a dominant factor in
H e development of Augusta’s splendid
resources and advantages as a city of
homes, a city of business and a city of
manufactories.
Beginning of Better Things.
Since there must necessarily be a
beginning of all tilings, a Live at Home
Week has been arranged. It has In
volved a great deal of work, a great
deal of explaining, a great deal of ef
lort of one kind and another; but the
workers have met with co-operation
and heurty response everywhere, on
ever} hand.
The prime purpose of Live at Homs
\V«eU U to aTford an opportunity that
the buying public of Augusta may be
lt me better acquainted with what
giode and articles are made In Au
gusta mills and shops and factories
Micro these goods and articles may
h« found when they are needed, this
week or next week or next year; to
foster and encourage the spirit of pat
ronising home Industry; to Impress
upon the buying public the Importance
of contracting tile habit of culling for
and Insisting upon having Augusta
made goods In preference to goods ol
the ssme kind mode elsewhere; and to
eeinhlish a city market for country
produce raiaed by the farmers of the
Augusta aectlon, who turning now
from dependence tn all cotton, must
begin to live at home themselves and
to raise food crops to help feed the
I ungry world.
It la Inconceivable that there la a
man or n woman tn Augusta who. If he
or she will give the matter a moment's
serious thought, will not agree that

city than to begin reltgloualy Living

bus, Ga, has before it at the present
time a proposition to put up and main
tain a permanent exhibit of Columbus
made goods. It is proposed that a build
ing with plate glasH wlndowa on all
four sides be erected in the center of
one of the busiest atreets of Columbus
to house the exhibit.
This week Augusta manufacturers will
make exhibits and displays of their pro
ducts In the show windows of the city's
most enterprising retail business houses.
Live at Home Week begins tomorrow
morning. If these exhibits are worth
the looking at by Augusta people, would
not there he benefit and profit to the

RIGHT H BEST
TIME TO BUILD
When European War Is Ended
Building Material Will Ad
vance in Price and Labor Will
Be Higher---Live at Home
Week Time to Make Building
Plans.
There has not been g better time in
the history of the country for build
ing than right now. Material Is cheap
er. on account of the European war,
than It will be again In a decade after
the war is over, peace has been de
clared and work of repairing the wreck
and ruin Is begun. Whole cities and
towns must necessarily be rebuilt, and
the world Is not so large that any big
movement, whether constructive or de
structive, on the other side of the At
lantic, does not affect conditions on
this side. The European war has
proven that fact.
During Live at Home Week begin
to think about building. Look up
those plans you were making or con
templating before the tocsin of war
sounded. Get them out of the pigeon
hole. Build now If you would save
yourself money.
There are more laborers to be se
cured now’, says a leading dally of the
South In commenting editorially on the
situation with regards to building and
the advisability of building now, than
will be possible when the building
boom opens after world-wide business
gets Into peaceful channels again.
While the demand may not be so great
for houses to rent now, there will be
a demand for them by the time they
are completed and ready for occu
pancy.
When the fighting In Europe ends,
there Is going to be a world-wide In
dustrial uwakening. The tendency In
this country will be toward the South
—to get the South American trade and
the vast business that will originate
as a result of the opening of the Pan
ama canal.
Not only in an agricultural way, but
Industrially, the South is going for
ward with strides such as she has
never before known. Southern cities
are going to become distributing cen
ters, not only of the v ast resources of
the fields, farms and Southern fac
tories. but of the large Northern fac
tories which must needs get nearer
thetr Soutliern territory lu order to
hold and to facilitate the trade.
The skies nave never been brighter
with signs of promise than they are
right now. The voice of wisdom says:
"Make ready for the feast before the
day cometh *’ Those who expect to
build will not have a better opportu
nity than right now.
A GIFTED HEADLINE WRITER.
A certain man in Spvncervtlle com
mitted suicide;
Upon a rafter hanged himself, anJ
did a good Job—died
The sage scribe of the Clarion wrote
out this headline pat:
From Rafter to Hereafter," and let It
go at that. ’

SOCIETY WOMEN BEG TO
• GO TO FRONT AS NURSES
London.—Society women are beg
ging the authorities for permission to
go to the front as nurses. In many
cases the qualifications of the appli
cants are small, but she regards be
ing a Red Cross nurse as romantic
and fascinating and would go without
thinking of the serious side of the
matter.
“Affectional and emotional nursing,”
Is the way Sir James Creichton-
Browne described it lr> an address be
fore the Kensington District Nursing
Association. ‘‘There Is a good deal of
spurious nursing about this time,” he
went on to say. ”1 heard the other
day of a fashionable lady who called
on a matron at a provincial hospital
and said: ‘I wish to have a week’s
training as a nurse on any terms you
like. But I cannot give more than
a week to It, for I want to go to the
front.’
“That sort of thing,” said Sir Jame 3,
“is highly reprehensible, for in no
branch of nursing Is consumate skill
required more than in the mangement
of wounds and The wounded. For
half-baked amateurs to meddle in
such matters is to endanger life and
limb.” ____
