HERPS TO OLD GLORY, GOD
BLESS HER!
If anyone attempts to haul down
the American flag, shoot him on the

O folds of white and scarlet! O blue
field with your silver stars! May fond
eyes welcome you, willing feet follow
you, strong hands defend you, warm
hearts cherish you, and dying lips
give you their blessing! Ours by in
heritance, ours by allegiance, ours by
affection—long may you float on the
free winds of heaven, the emblem of
liberty, the hope of the world!—Anon.

Calling for Volunteers.
The Military Training Camjis
as.'^ociation for North Carolina is
appealing for men from this
vState to attend the training school
at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., from May
S to Augu.'^t S. The purjiose of
the .school is to make ofl'icers out
of citizens. I’revious military
training is not necessary. Infor
mation can be had by applying to
R. \\’. (»leun. ('.reensboro, X. C.
Adjutant General Young of
North Carolina is ap])ealing for
recruits for the national guards
and says North Carolinians are re
sponding discouragingly slow. He
and Ciovernor Bickett are urging
that comminiities make themselves
busy in this respect.
The people will doubtless get
the war spirit in them when actiud
warfare begins and if they don’t,
.selective conscription will probably
be the order of the dav.
Plenty of time yet for a garden
even though you work it bj’ the
moon. A little garden spot of your
own is a very popular movement
in the face of the h. c. 1.
Strange, strange, indeed strange,
tlie kind of stuff some people are
made of and they j^arade around
with it in jniblic places and choo.se
to call it j)atriotism just because
patriotism is unusually popular at
this time.
“Hendersonville welcomes with
opeu arms the club women of
Western Carolina,” says the Hust
ler. And how green we are with
envy that we were not placed on
the recej)tion committee by the
Hustler in.stead of given a banquet
by the town as the Hustler threat
ens to do for us.
Increasing Farm Crops.
Farmers are beinf? urged from
about every reasonable source io
plant increased acreage in food and
feed crops. It is pointed ont to
them that this is necessary in Ihe
face of high prices and tbreatenin}'
war. Food will be needed for the
warring nations.
It is estimated that the South
depends on the North and Central
West for these products to an ex
tent of 8700,COu,000 a yt ar and that
North Carolina Imports ^80,000.000
W’orth even when normal prices
prevail.
In soiue sections speaking tour?
are being made to show the farm
ers the necessity of increased crops.
President Wilson says the fate of
the war rests in a large measure
with the farmers and that their
work is really a patriotic service.
The BreVard Banking companv
says that merchants of this county
have paid bills of lading through
the bank since last Septembor to
an amount exceeding s->(i0,000, and
this all for food and foedstuflFs.
This is enormous. Conditions are
favorable and Transylvania should
raise enough stuff to be self-sup
porting this year. It is one of the
best agricultural counties in West
ern Carolina and every farmer
owes it to himself and to his coun
try during the great national crisis
to make the most of the exceptional
opportunity that confronts him.

back and pet your money.
If you take calomel t(»day you’ll be sick
and nauseated tomorrow; besi.les, it may

Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great,
full of ambition and ready for work or

We had an abiding faith in Pen

do the proper thing when put to
the real educational test. It is not
like a progressive community of
good people of which that section

posed to progress impede the march
of educational grow’th. Congrat
ulations to that section.

damaged by the flood of July, 1916
The Board of County Commissioners of Transylvania county, by

by the flood of Jul.y 16, 191(5, and the state tax commission having been
authorized by section 17 of the Machinery Act of 1917 to grant such
relief, it is therefore
Ordered, that the Board of County Commissioners of Transylvania
