SATURDAY, JULY 5
FOURTH FEATURED
HERE BY LACK OF
NOISY ELEMENT
Amusements Take Safer Form.
Movie > Theatres, Parks and
Natatoriums Taxed to Limit
Had a representation o£ the rabid
advocates of the “Quiet Fourth” vis
ited Augusta on Friday, their pleasure
would have rivalled their feeling of
perfect safety. For surely, nothing to
disturb the quietude of the city was
attempted, and the passing of the na
tional holiday was marked by the
serenity of the throngs on the streets.
It is probable that •? the inclina
tion of the people had tended toward
a noisy celebration, the thermometer
would soon have dissuaded them. To
ledo may indeed have been swelter
ing, but Augusta in the South can
hold its own.
The feature of the amusements tak
ing place yesterday was the large
numbers of people partaking of bar
becues all over the city. There were
probably more ’cues than have been
served on any other occasion. The
theatres were packed to the limit of
capacity, and the bathing ponds be
yond the city limits enjoyed a record
day.
The scheduled rains failed to put in
an appearance, much to the disap
pointment of the melting Augustans.
It is thought that Friday was prob
ably the warmest day thus far in
1919.

PETER SOOTHED
BY AUNT PHOEBE
(By THE STORY LADY.)
Hal stepped on a nail and it proved
rather serious. He had to stay in the
house for several days. Peter stayed
with him all the time that he could and
proved a pretty good nurse. But one aft
ernoon when Peter came in after school,
Hal's foot was hurting pretty badly. Mr.
Henshaw had been obliged to go down
.town on important business and Hal was
uonesome and cross. Peter disappeared
but was back in a Jiffy with Aunt
Phoebe.
Aunt Phoebe changed the bandage,
found that it was too tight, bathed the
injured foot, and soothed the injured
feelings. When Hal was comfortable she
settled herself on the other end on the
lounge with Peter on a stool at her feet
“I don’t know any very good boys’
stories,” she began, ‘but I’ll tell you
something funny that happened to me
when 1 was a naughty little girl of four.
“We lived away out in the country and
my mother took my brothers and me to
see our grandmother. We rode into town
late one afternoon in a lumber wagon.
We stayed all night at a hotel and started
out on an early morning train. I had
never been on a train before and for a
while was very quiet. But I got restless
and my mother got me a drink of water.
“I wanted to get a drink for myself, but
Mother wouldn’t let me. I waited till she
was busy reading and slipped up the aisle
with my little tin cup. I tried to work
the faucet but didn’t know how. I was
afraid n y mother would see me and make
me come back before I got my drink, so I
gave the faucet a quick pull. The whole
thing came off in my hand and I was
soaked with ice water.
“More spread over the floor and l re
member a cross old lady grabbing up her
old carpet bag and scowling at me terri
bly. 1 was too frightened to do anything
but stand there, but the conductor finally
came to my rescue. Mother looked pret
ty grave and after I had on dry clothes
I sat very still all the rest of the way to
Grandma’s.”
Mr. Henshaw came in just then to find
the boys laughing over the story. He
took Aunt Phoebe home in his car while
Peter stayed with Hal.
“I don’t want to make you mad, old

"There is a shortage of many essential

of goods for domestic use. Demand and
supply automatically equalized by

process is conducted by banks out of

credit of the country at the disposal of
foreigners in purchasing and settling for
domestic products which they obtain from
American producers.”
Such an addition to credits not based on
genuine savings, the hoard pointed out.

"The amount of export trade securities
