On March 1st the city schools closed the sixth month of the. current session and for many reasons the au thorities, and the faculty, should be pleased at the work that is being"done and the progress the pupils are .mak ing. . - During the month, there have been 502 pupils enrolled, and with this en rollment the average daily attendance has been 452. For the entire month a total of 125 tardies have been re ported by the entire teaching force. This would give the per cent of punc tuality at 98.6.

The county had to make this guar- By studying these figures carefully, one might arrive at either of two con clusions. Pirst, there are slightly fewer pupils in town to come to school, or second, a smaller per cent of the people in town are enough in terested in education to keep their children in school, for the enrollment for February of this year is 8 pupils Jess than for the coresponding month last year. This feature, of course,, Jsay present a discouraging side. There is, however, an encouraging feature to the' same set of figures. Fcr, even though the enrollment is slightly lower, the average attend ee for the month just closed is high er than the average attendance for the corresponding month a year ago. And the number of tardies this year bas been about -68 per cent of the number of tardies for the same month fest year. , 2ut in spite of any comparisons we ut m spite of any comparisons we Lmise Reece, Mildred Shepherd, Wil ay make, the question still remains, , Mildred Walker, Pauline re the children of Hendersonville at tending school as regularly and as punctually as they should.

THURSDAY. MARCH 7, 1918 Better Farming Will The American Kill The Kaiser's Wolf Famine Chas. A. Whittle, Editorial Manager, The farmer can win this war. Only by famine does the Kaiser hope to conquer famine by force of the sub marine. t If the submarine brings Eng land ad France to their knees, beg ging bread in the humiliation of de feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon the United States. England and France can be" saved from famine by the fanners of the United States, aricPtJanada in spite of th submarine if they wilL The snb . marine .will ,sinX.; food that England and France . so sorely needs but the 'submarine can not sink enough to starve our allies, if the farmer of the United States will raise maximum crops, raise every pound and save ev ery pound of foods he possibly can. It's a fight, therefore, between the farmer of the United States oa the vone hand and the gaunt wolf of the Kaiser, famine, on the other hand. If the American farmer can raise enough to allow for the -submarine toll and enough more food to place "over there" to feed those who are fighting, then victory is ours. - But it's a narrow margin. The whole world is on the verge of star vation. If even a normal crop Is pro duced in this country it is not going to afford enough to feed, everybody FASSIFERN NEWS. S 1 & & Debate' on Power of Clergy at Front Friday Afternoon Observed for Red Cross Work; War .Stamps Cam- ; paign Interesting. The Fassifern Missionary society held its monthly meeting in the school room Sunday night. An interesting debate was the main feature of the program. The subject of the debate was: "Resolved, that the work of the clergy at the front ig more important than that of those who remain at home." Misses Jene Robertson and Caroline Yancey had the affirmative, while Misses Ella Lindsay and Jose phine Bird the negative. The papers were a credit to the young ladies and especial mention is made of Miss Robertson's excellent one. The judges, who consisted of three mem bers of the faculty, found it hard to make their decision, but finally decid ed in favor of the affirmative, due to the fact .that the arguments on this side were more convincing. The. regular monthly meeting of the Fassifern auxiliary of the Red Cross was held Sunday: It was de cided that Friday afternoon be set apart for faculty and students to de vote to Red Cross work.. The girls are divided into groups with a mem ber of the faculty as leader of each group, for especial work. We have now twelve dresses to make for Bel gian relief and work has already be gun on them. ' . Wednesday afternoon Miss Samp son, with several of the girls; had a small sale for the benefit of the Red Cross. A sum of two dollars was cleared. The Thrift Stamps cam paign at Fassifern is increasing rap idly. Each girl, is doing "her bit" along this line, and great interest is being manifested. " Children's Resistance.

The same modern, labor saving farm machinery that will enable a farm hand to plow two rows while plowing one heretofore and plow them better must be made use of. It's a hard fight all spring, summer and fall for the American farmer. Will he win? - Home Folks Send Hustler To Friends As a result of the reduction in the price of the.
