PUT IT OVER NOW The price of victory was paid by •ar boys at Belleau Wood,Chateau Thierry, St, Mihiel and the Argonne. It is now up to us to finish our part •f the job. By subscribing to Victory Liberty lioan Bonds, you will make possible: 1—The bringing home of America’s Immortals. i—The provisioning and susten ance of those Yanks who arei now keeping the Watch on the Rhih'e. 3—The payment of all outstand ing war bills. The humblest American citizen as well as the neatest, is not being asked to pay anybody else’s debts but his jwn.. ■4—The resumption of normal bus iness life. The wheels of Amer ican industry must begin to turn briskly and .steadily, in order chat both capital and labor may be fully employed, and prosper ity for the benefit of all mankind «n};ineered. As the amount of the Victory Loan IS 25 pec cent less than anticipated— iis thti interest rate is the highest of luiy of the Liberty Loan issues^— .1^ postMisses attractive tax exemption features and short maturity—the Victory Loan should “Go over the Top” vith a rush. Being the last Liberty Loan, the last opportunity the American people ▼ill'ha're to subscribe to Government All HckI** before the leavea were {reen atain in Unter den Linden. It oosts lots At money to acare' a- lation to death. And tiiat's the money'^that must 'be raided- by the Victory Liberty Loan; PARTNERSHIP Every ^tisen of'the Uniter States is a member of a firm, a partner of Un<fle Sam. No one has been given the right to withdraw from the part- \ nership simply because the war is over, and no one will seek to with draw. The duties of partnerdiip were cheerfully assumed during the war; the shoulder-to-shoulder attitude of all classes and sects made combined action the power that it was, and won the war. Good times are on the way. The heavy government expenditures—^the expenditures of the firm—are daily decreasing, and the necessity for the huge quantities of wav supplies that each day of war brought about has stopped as suddenly as it began. It is true that for many months the war costs will still run high. The bills maturing for supplies already used, besides those contracted for, the continuing costs of building ships planned and under course of con struction and the mainenance of the army and navy mean that the govern- n^ent’s war bills are not all paid. In fact the government has been antici pating the Victory Liberty Loan for several months by borrowing from the banks to pay current maturing bills. By the time the loan is re ceived it will virtually all have been expended, ap there is no argument neccessary in regard to the urgency of the need. But the bills now being paid are in a large part those made during the conflict—“last month’s pur chases.” The end of the war has meant increased prosperity for the United States and the firm. Great Britain and Europe feel the heavy burdens resulting from over four years of warfare ;their tremendous debts, loss of man power and disor ganized labor conditions have result ed in a greater opportunity for Uncle Sam. America emerges from the struggle with a loss of life of only 60,000, with business on the boom and with exempt securities on such an at tractive basis, we, therefore, urge | a war debt that is owed to the firm, jpoa to subscribe immediately through to citizens of the United States. This 7*ur bank. THE SCARE CROW ^Scare crow^s do not grow corn, but tbey save a lot of it. It wasn’t the Ikcys, alone who went across, but the "boys who were ready to go across, dhat won the war. It wasn’t simply the guns that were ilred, the grenades that were explod ed and the gas that was let loose, but ifce doses we were preparing that IScked tthe Boche. The ships never launched, the' l^anes that never flew, the guns on •ur docks, the wheat in the ground— ielped to win. When the w^ar ended there was ♦ver a million and a half American V»ys in the camps here, ready to :ight, eager to fight. They were of Hie same material that the Germans {ot acquainted with at St. Mihiel and ■tfie Argonne Forest. It cost millions 1e train and equip them. They didn’t lave their great chance, but they iought for victory as a big part of 1#ie American fighting machine. They ■were ready, and Germany knew they ^re ready. America was turning out war *jtterials so fast when the armistice ^tas signed that in the next* few weeks —before all the machinery could be sCoped—we hud enough guns, clothes, ammunition, aeroplanes, trucks—to equip in every detail a new army as {urge as the one we had in France. And Germany knew this material was ready. It fought to bring a apeedy victory just as much as that viuch was actually used. But it cost noney. Germany was scared to death. She Inew that if she didn’t quit while the ^aitCtng was good American aero planes would blacken her skies— American shells would blow her cities th* map—American soldiers would '' HMurching ttoougl Merlin last fact is a significant one. Money that is owed by partners in a pros perous firm is never a doubtful debt, for the natural flow insures its pay ment. Are you a live member? Uncle Sam needs the active support of every one of his partners. Take stock in the firm. Buy Victory Liberty Bonds and clip the cupons. MR. BELL RECEIVES APPOINT MENT J. L. Bell has been appointed tax supervisor for Transylvania County under the revaluation act passed by the last Legislature. The appoint ment is effective from May the first and the work in this county will be done under the direction of the district supervisor of the Tenth Dis trict, J. Harden Howell of Waynes- ville. Ten tax districts have been formed by the State Corporation Commission. These have not follow ed the lines of the congressional dis tricts but have been made from the standpoint of getting as much of the same kind of property in the juris diction of one supervisor as possible. The territory in. the tenth district comprises Eunco:iibe, Cherokee, Clay Graham, Hajrwood, Henderson, Jack son, Macon, Madison, Polk, Swain, and Transylvania. Three meetings, of county and district supervisors will be held in the state this month. These meetings will take place in Asheville, Goldsboro, and Charlotte on dates to be announced by the state chairman of the Corporation Com mission. The Commission has had much dif ficulty in filling the position of tax supervisor in the counties of the State and Transylvania is to be congratlat- ed on procuring a man thoroughly familiar with local conditions and e to fulfil the most exacting re- ents. In compliance with tti order recent^ ly isKiad' by tiie War Department every Transylvania boy who served the coldrs ditrfaig the recent confHct witii Germany will be given a Victory Medal. These medals are to be award ed to every soldier of the allied gov ernments. After prolonged confer ences with representatives of all the countries recently arrayed against the Hun General March, who heh>ed the Americans to victory, has announced the design for the Vic tory Medal which has been approved for issuance to every soldier who fought on the allied side in commer- ation of his service to civilization. The design is to be similar for all countries but may differ in detail for the various armies. _ The obverse side of th*e Medal will bear a winged victory and on the re verse will be, in the language of the country by which it is issued, the words: “The Gre.at War for Civiliza tion,” and the arms of the allies.' A campaign ribbon also has been adopt ed to consist of a **double rainbow” series of colors. This ribbon will be similar for all armies and is to be issued in the United States very soon. To indicate participation in the more important engagements, extra clasps will be attacked to the ribbons. For the Americans these clasps will bear the names erf battles selected by Gen eral Pershing as the most important engagements of the War. Specialf clasps will indicate the place of ser vice, as in France, Italy, England or Siberia. Citations* for individual soldiers wil be shown by attaching a small silver star for each citation. These ribbons and medals are to be awarded to all officers, enlisted men, and army nyrses, who served on active duty for at least fifteen days in the army of the U. S. with an honorable record. As it will take some little time to make the medals the ribbons will be awarded first. WHAT BAD ROADS COST (Southern Good Roads, April, 1919.) Mr. B. G. Smith, a farmer^ living within 20 miles of Mena, Ark., got to town for the first time this year about March 1, says the Mena Star, because before then there had been no time when he could come and bring a load—particularly his cotton. The Star further relates the farmer’s woe as follows: Along about Christmas time he could have sold readily at 33 cents a pound, but could not get over the roads. Tuesday having extra clean cotton, he received 23 cent—a straight lo*ks of near $50, or enough he figures, almost to pay his sharp of a rock road from Egger to Mena. Further Mr. Smith says there are not less than a hundred farmers liv ing in the territory adjacent to him who would have spent an average of $100 each with Mena merchants the past three months if they had been able to reach the city with reasonable efforts—a loss in commerce of not less than $10,000. WEDNESDAY CLUB ElfCTS DELEGATES Mrs. Frank Jenkins entertained the members of the Wednesday Book Club at their meeting this w^eek. The program was featured by a discussion of War Poetry and particular atten tion was paid to the writings of the poets of tho recent conflict. Chief among these were Alan Seeger, Joyce Kilmer, and Lt. Col. John Mc Rae. An important part of the club meeting on Wednesday was the elec tion of delegates to represent the or ganization at the annual meeting of the^ State Federation of Women’s Clubs which convenes at Henderson ville the first week in June. The fol lowing ladies were named for this henor: Mrs. J. S. Bromfield and Mrs. Frank Jenkins, with Mesdames C. M. Doyle and D. G. Ward as alternates. Kev. P. E. Swanson will conduct a niemor’al service in honor of Aunt Nancy McGaha at the Little River Methodist church next Sunday. ' . i Says She Feels Made OwiKr Siace Takmff Tanlae-—Gains Nine Pwnds Mr^ F. O. Forrester, a trained nurse residing at the Grand Central Hotel, Denver,- Colo., is but one of this high profession who have testified to the merits of Tanlac. Mrs. For rester recently said: *‘I had been in miserable health seven years, suffering from indiges tion. Everything I ate would sour and even cold water would cause me much distress. The pains in my ch^^ and about jny heart were almost un bearable at times and I suffered ter ribly from neuralgia. I would have vomiting spells duly and for three- months couldn’t retain a thing on my stomach but oatmeal. Often at night I would wake up feeling likeT was smothering to death and would have^ to get up out of bed and stand on my feet awhile to get my breath. “One of my friends Who knew my awful condition and- who had been benefitted by Tanlac-advised me.to try it, I did so and my relief has been remarkable. Really I feel like I have gained nine ipounds Jn wei|^ and in tend to keep on taking Tanlac as long aa it doea m aa n|nch good as itianow,^ / Tanlac is sold leading druggist everywhere. GOING HIM SEVERAL BETTER The oldest good story is the one about the boy whet l^ft the farm and got a job in tiie ci^. .He wrote a letter to his brother, whu elected to stick by the fams telling of the joys of city life, in whielt'he said: “Thursday we auto’d out to the conn^ club, where vre golfed unto dark. Then we mortored to the beach and Friday there. The iHTother on the farm wrote back: * “Yesterday we bliggied to town and baseballed all the afternoon. Then we went to Med’s and pokered till morning. Today we muled out to the cornfield and gee-hawed until sundown. Then we suppered, and then we piped for a while. After that we staircased up to our room and bedsteaded until the clock fived.” —San Francisco Orgonaut.
