Farmers and truckers of the Augusta
section have been given to understand
that here in Augusta there is a ready

The next step and the main step
toward living at,home Is simply that

August a products.
What has been done during the past
week has been done merely for dem

The Women Interested.
Augusta women have learned during
the past week how near the Live at
Home movement touches their lives,
bow close home It comes to them.
In tlds connection the following ex
tracts from an article in the Woman’s
Horne Companion by Ida M. Tarbell,
who voices an appeal to American
women to depend more upon products
of the American manufactories and
less upon Importations from Kurope&n
countries, are interesting:
"The great patriotism/' says
Miss Tarbell, "Is that which serves
one's land consciously and steadily
In all the relations of life. The
American woman of taste and
means has never fully recognised
her relations to her country’s in
dustries. Now is her time to
awake.
"One of the most substantial
contributions that the American
woman can make t<» the fulfillment
of this duty is to give steady, in
telligent support to American in

“This Is her time to learn what
her own country’s Industries can
do, snd to rally with all her in
fluonee to their support, urging
them to make the thing* she wants,
pledging them her allegiance.”
Narrowing the proposition down from
a nation's industries to a city’s Indus
tries, Augusta Is, at the very least,
entitled, for Ihc benefit of the com
munity Interest, to the allegiance and
th ; support of her women and her
men. The same principle applies.
Splendid Beginning Made.
A splendid beginning toward actual
ly living at home, trailing at home,
keeping Augusta money at home, has
been begun.
The retail merchants of the city
have signified thetr willingness to
handle Augusta-made goods in pref
erence to goods of the same kinds made
elsewhere If the people will simply
show their preference for the Augusta
product by calling for it.
Central Market Needed.
Live at Home Week served to im
press the need in Augusta, and the de
mand for a central market, where the
farmers may bring their produce.
Yesterday morning there were a
number of farm wagons on the 600
block of Broad street, and though the
farmers of this section did not come
In as large numbers as had been de
sired, buyers were there, If the sellers
were not. And those farmers who did
come, asking fair prices for their prod
uco, had not the slightest difficulty In
disposing of It. At one lime yesterday
morning there were nearly a score of
August i women In front of City Market
Headquarters, some In automobiles,
others In buggies and still others on
foot, ready to patronize the farm wag
ons, This of itsedf demonstrated the
willingness of Augusta housekeepers
to eo-operate with the farmers to the
farmers’ advantage in living at home.
On a Broader Scale.
Live at home week has now broad
ened In Its scope and development Into
I.lve at Home Year. During the past
week the co-operative spirit underly
ing the movement has been firmly
ground rooted What has been learned
the Augusta public, to reap the benefit,
must now begin to religiously apply In
every day life.

GEORGIA DAY IN
SAVANNAH IS
GREAT SUCCESS
Two Augustans Distinguished
Themselves Among a Brilliant
Assembly of Speakers---Ro
tarians Royally Entertained
By Savannah Brothers
The twenty-five Augusta Rotarlans
who attended the celebration of Georgia
Products Day in Savannah on Novem
ber 20th have returned after a very
memorable visit.
The party, which left Augusta Thurs
day morning in automobiles, was met
by a deputation of Savannah Rotarlans
at Montietn, ten miles this side of Sa
vannah, and escorted with all form and
ceremony into the city. The series of
entertainments with which the Savan
nah club regaled its guests began Thurs
day night with an oyster supper at the
Yacht Club, which was prolonged to a
late hour.
The big official function took piace
on Friday at 2 o clock with Georgia Day
dinner, at which 400 guests of the Sa
vannah Rotary Club entirely filled the
enormous dining rooms of the DeSoto
Hotel. I'resident John S. Ranks of the
Savannah e.ub introduced the speakers,
only Georgia products were served at
the dinner and the . menu included al
most every conceivable thing which the
heart or the palate could desire. Cot
ton alone did not figure there, though
it was used extensively in the tame
decorations.
Speaker Champ Clark was the club's
guest for the occasion, and made a few
remarks in which he expressed great ad
miration for the Rotary Movement,
which was destined, he said, to be a
lactor of inestimable value in the na
tional life of the future, lie particu
larly congratulated Savannah on having
one of the "livest” organizations in the
country.
General Peter W. Meldrim, president
of the American Bar Association, and
Congressman Kdwards were among the
speakers, as was also Rev. Howard T.
Cree of Augusta, who was called on
impromptu, and made one of the most
enjoyable talks of tiie occasion.
The honor of being principal speaker
of the day fell upon Col. J. Rice Smith’
of Augusta, who spoke for twenty min*
utea in answer to the toast “Georgia,”
with a masterly and inspiring speech,
when he finished, the cheers and thun
derous applause made the rafters of the
DeSoto ring as they perhaps had never
rung before.
President Ranks conducted the huge
meeting, for the dinner was ordered on
the model of a regular Rotary meeting,
in an easy and graceful manner. He
presented, on behalf of the Savannah
Club, a Rotary desk clock to Speaker
Clark, for a souvenir, and to Colonel
Rice Smith, a silver pocket knife. In
acknowledging the gift, the Augusta
spokesman took occasion to present, in
the name of his club, the stickpin which
tlie Augusta members had voted to
President Banks as a token of appreci
ation for his help in organizing their
club.
The dinner culminated, amid much
merriment, in an Old Horse Sale of
Georgia products, in which Mr. Pink
Wood accidentally bought the pig,—a lit
tle fellow about six inches tall.
The Augusta delegation left Savannah
in high spirits and are unanimous in
their expressions of praise and grati
tude to the Savannah men for one of
the most enjoyable Jaunts they have
ever had.

BROTHER-IN

Saturday and Arrested His
Wife and His Brother.
On Saturday night an unusual cou

I.ena and Karl Jernigam from Or

Drastic Measures to
Safeguard Commonwealth
Melbourne.—Parliament has taken
drastic measures to safeguard the
commonwealth during the war. The
governor-general Is empowered, under

Richmond Academy Triumphed Over the
Benedictine Team By Score of 12 to 0
At No Stage of the Game Was the Academy’s Goal in Danger.
Savannah High Showed the Better Form Against the Locals
Academy triumphed over
Benedictine College yesterday by a
scorce of 12 to 0. At no stage of the
game was tha goal of the locals in
danger, the Savannahians being weak
on offense.
Acting under instructions from
Coach Wilson, Richmond played a safe
game after a couple of touchdowns
had been pushed over. In view of
the fact that the hardest game of the
season will be played next Thursday
in Charleston, Porter being the oppo
nent, Wilson took no chances in a
driving game, preferring that the visi
tors keep the ball and allow the local
preps to perfect their defensive for
mations. So far as strength goes,
Richmond showed to several touch
downs advantage.
The features of the game were the
defensive work of Muller and Martin,
the Academy tackles, and the offen
sive work of O'Connor, quarter of the
Benedictines. Time and again, Muller
and Martin broke through and threw
the Savannah backs for losses. O’Con
nor was the only consistent ground-

gainer for the visitors—his work in re
turning punts Is especially worthy of
comment. O’Connor is the fastest
man seen on the local gridiron this
season.
Judging the two Savannah teams.
Savannah High and Benedictine, by
the game put up against the locals, It
is safe to say that Savannah High
showed the better form. The locals
had to fight all the way through to
defeat Savannah High, while they
took things easy yesterday.
At the same time, Benedictine has a
strong defensive eleven and there is
no telling when O’Connor may get
loose. We pick Savannah High, tn
their annual Thanksgiving gabe, by
two touchdowns.
