The Red Cross is the next drive in the name of suffering humanity. o ' The call of the chairman of the board of county commissioners for a meeting to organize a fair should not fall upon deaf ears. Henderson county is sadly behind in this respect. By all means we should have a county-wide fair this year. o A perusal of the work of Fruitland institute during the past year should fill Henderson county people with pride for such a worthy institution at their doors. It is doing .great things for the young men and women of our county, and its influence is not limit ed altogether to this section. o If signs mean anything, get ready for the Millennium for Transylvania county is talking of eliminating poli tics this year. When this is accom plished nothing will seem unreason able to us for then all things will be possible in the light of human endeavor. Ronald B. Wilson, formerly with the Asheville Citizen, the Brevard News and more recently with the Waynesville Courier, has accepted a position as health editor with the State Board of Health and is putting some punch in their publicity mate rial. Mr. Wilson is well qualified for the work, the importance of which cannot be over estimated. o The Black Mountain Tribune is a new journalistic effort in weekly Western Carolina journalism. It comes from the ashes of former news paper efforts by others and we trust that a better fate is in store for the Tribune, which makes a nice appear-3nce-in the beginning. May its days be long and prosperous. It could be inade a valuable asset for that popu lar section. Transylvania is getting ready to come to the front. It has called an election for voting a road bond issue. We know nothing that our neighbor ing county needs more than good roads. The proposed bond issue would become effective after the war and the road claiming principal at tention would be from Rosman to the Henderson county line. We hope .and confidently believe that Transyl vania will succeed in this undertak ing. o : Asheville and other parts of West ern North Carolina whooped up the legislature for a few times about a teacher training school for this sec tion but location grew1 to be a night mare. Now comes Asheville with a subscription of a few thousand dol lars and the announcement that the training school for teachers will be open for six weeks this summer. A very worthy undertaking is this. It should become permanent, with State aid, and if so Asheville 's initiative should eliminate the bugaboo as to the logical place. The .County Health Board is taking seriously the dog question. There is a very rigid law in force in this coun ty. The law has not been repealed. It subjects a dog to sudden death when he roams at large in city or rural districts and also subjects the owner to a, fine not exceeding $50 or thirty days' imprisonment. There "is usually a good deal of mad dog scare at this season andprecaution should ,be taken by dog owners. There are said to be entirely too many dogs run ning about the graded school grounds every day. Honor to the patriotic people of Henderson county. ;They did their duty toward the - Liberty Loan hand somely." . . ' North Carolina Democrats have decided to eschew politics this year and devote their energies to helping win the war. There is no apparent inecessity for a partisan campaign, anyway. Their conduct of public affairs needs no defense; the country calls for service and Democrats, like all true Americans, are patriots first. Only united action can assure the government the measure of success to, which it is entitled in this contest for liberty and justice. Politics can wait. - ? : . " The carping critic has no right to claim citizenship in the United. States of America at this crucial period oi the country's history, when our strug gling armies are in a death grapple with the arch enemy of right and justice. The German spy and the i American traitor are little worse than the slanderers of our constituted au thorities whose keen conception, un daunted courage and cdnstant vigil have rendered , the lives and liberties of the people secure. 'Hanging would be a mild form of treatment for eith er the spy or the traitor. And the selfish critic should have his portion behind prison bars, with the slacker and the deserter. EVERY AMERICAN'S DUTY. :tftv the hand of the 'oppressor. A hundred thousand oi our traineu troops are already in the strategic reserve army which seeks to push back the invader and destroyer out of France. They must "have food, shoes and clothing, in addition to de structive implements of war. What are YOU doing to aid .in providing these necessities? The boys "over there" experience greater hardships and sacrifices in thirty minutes than the average American man or woman does in an entire year. This is no time for either the slacker-individual, or the slacker-dol-lar. The man who withholds a single dollar that he can possibly loan to his government is failing to do his duty as a patriotic . American citizen. Those who are not of this class should buy a Thrift stamp today. Well may we ask, "Is your name writ ten there?" To work, econoniize, and lend money to the government is the duty of every American. Hundreds of thousands of our men have been called to arms and taken away from the productive forces of the country. Hundreds of thousands of others have been diverted from producing things used in peace to producing things used in war. In the face of this lessened pro ductive force and production a great and unusual drain upon our resources is 'made by oui army and navy and our allies. Work and speed-up production to make' up for.the lessened production; economize in consumption to lessen as much as possible the drain upon our resources; lend your money to your government to prosecute this war successfully and make our sol diers powerful, effective, and victo rious. Every American can do an indi vidual service to his country by work ing, saving, and buying Thrift stanips. LABOR THE NEED Or THE HOUR. IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN THERE? Does your name appear upon the honor roll of the Republic? If not it seems about time you were enlisting in some branch of the service. There is no honorable exemption. Those who have passed the age for enlist ment in the army may perform an equally important service at home. They may purchase War Saving cer tificates, Thrift stamps and aid in many other ways the supreme effort our country is making to assist her allies in bringing- a lasting peace to America and the world. You may also "do your bit" by raising and conserving food stuffs. In both of these suggestions of service every man, woman and child in the land may have a hand. Our fighting men must be given unstinted support in every conceivable way. Nothing is too good for the brave boys who are baring their breasts to the enemy of. the race on the battlefields of France. For four long weeks the greatest battle in history has been raging on the Western front. On that "Battle line of Liberty," three hundred miles long, a civilization expressive of kind ness, good faith, and democratic tol erance, is at death's grip with a re incarnation of ancient barbarism (weaponed stealthily by modern science and claiming partnership with God), which seeks a reconquest of the world and the destruction of every Christian institution. Every day that great battle line in France means more to the liberty-loving peo ple of the United States, for half a million American soldiers are there J and twice that number will soon bej on the way. France, England. I America, Italy, Belgium and Portugal are fighting now and have been for weeks to prevent the German hordes from breaking that line. "Back. You shall not pass," is the slogan in Flan ders and Picardy. True, "the line bends from town to town, from hill to hill, through field and valley, and for est, and swamp, through ruin and de vastation indescribable." But every bend and every salient every town, and hill, and wood, and river, and railroad still remaining tells some part of the tragic story of this fate ful time. The enemy has not passed and the American people must throw their lives and fortunes into the conflict on the side of those who are battling against the passing of that black tor rent of frightfulness. No greater ca lamity could befall the civilized world than the success o fthe German arms. For then would the moral law among peoples pass from use, and all men sleep upon weapons of war. It is well that the approach of the enemy is being resisted with all the man power available -in the allied coun tries battling for a rule of the people. The entire American army is in the thick of the fight and we all hope and The selective draft, with thousands of volunteers, has taken millions of young men from every walk of life. No class, condition, or profession has escaped the clarion call to service and the country finds itself facing a crisis on account of a shortage of latoor in the industries and on the farms. Gov ernor Bickett joins in.ihe general ap peal of President Wilson and brings the matter of enlistment in this field of endeavor right down to the home of every citizen of North Carolina. The call is to . all, but young men not subject to draft are earnestly ad monished to enlist wherever the need for service is greatest in the mobili zation of labor for the production of food and munitions, for the support of our country's defenders at the front and in training camps. In the present emergency an equitable distribution of the State's labor supply is essential. There is grave danger of a serious shortage in farm labor, and the co-operation of every citizen is needed in the effort to induce the unemployed to take up agricultural pursuits a field in which the demand for help is general ly far in excess of the supply. Let us not forget that we are in the throes of war, with thousands of young men from both the factory and the farm either at the front, or preparing to go. The shortage in farm labor is bound to be keenly felt this year unless some way can be found whereby the employers of cities and towns may join hands with the farmers in working out a just and equitable -distribution of our labor supply, A very important service the "home folks" may render their coun try in this crisis today will be to see that the farmers are provided with adequate help for planting, cultivat ing and harvesting their crops. The formation of citizens' commit tees in towns and cities, for the pur pose of listing the labor supply avail able, would doubtless prove helpful as a means of information. Such organizations might also be able to interest employers in non-essential industries to the extent of inducing them to encourage those of their em ployees who have had agricultural ex perience to return to the farm, if only for a season, and permit their places to be filled by those unfitted, by training, for farm work. The farmers themselves would doubtless be glad to co-operate with organiza tions of the kind suggested in work ing out a solution of the problem Again, local organizations may, in co-operation with school authorities, induce many, of our high school boys to offer their services to the farmers during vacation. Recently the United States 'Employment Service, a divis ion of the Department of Labor, in augurated a nation-wide campaign to enroll 250,000 Boy Scouts and high school boys for service on the farm. North Carolina's quota is 7,000 and this number may be drafted if such action is found to be necessary in meeting the exigencies of the situa tion. New York State is asked to furnish 67,000; Tennessee, 10,000; Virginia, 8,000, and other common wealths are requested to enroll num bers on a like basis of population. Food production and food conserva tion is the slogan and everyone is ad monished to co-operate in relieving the tension of the labor situation and in contributing to the world supply of food by growing food products and raising pigs and poultry. Inviting the Boy Scouts of America to enlist in agricultural pursuits, Sec retary Houston, of the United States Department of Agriculture, says: "The war can be won if we deliver the men, the 'ships, and the food in sufficient numbers and quantities to make our war program effective. You as Boy Scouts can greatly aid 'by growing home vegetable gardens, conserving food by canning and dry ing for home use and in-many other ways. Will you not help your coun try again this year even in a bitrirer m0v of 1917? Your task wiu "be To beat your own record m food nr-nnetion and conservation. May , mntto for 1918 be, every Scoutd a soldier and one other, Selling War Savings certificates important, for our soldiers must supplied with implements of war, but producing food products is equally important because soldiers must be? fed before they can fight. The call is for "boy patriots." May not a single slacker be found within: the confines of North Carolina. The op portunity to volunteer is now open and the call was never more uxgejuL Young men of North Carolina, 6 not only your "bit," but your BEST, j GOOD SERVICE AT EAST FLAT ROCK BAPTIST CHURCH.

SetwnacdV was the appeal of the Red Cross for the comfort and relief of the wounded. ' TMrdV was the- appeal for Chris tain workers to preach the gospel to the soldiers and win them to Christ at this opportune time. v This was the appeal of most supreme impor tances. These appeals were made with great earnestness and had a thrilling effect upon the audience. At the close of the service a contribu tion was made to the work of preach ing the gospel to the soldiers, which, in cash and subscriptions ,amounted to $183. The people, responded heartily to those, appeals and it was indeed a great service. Brother Puett. has the work of his church well in hand and the people seem to love him and to follow him. He is one of our best preachers and workers; we pray the blessings of God upon him. " W. H. DAVIS.
