VICTORY LOAN
It is an excellent thing to buy gov
ernment securities, for two reasons.
One reason is patriotism. The other
reason is enlightened self-interest. -
The government needs the money.
By lending your money to the gov
ernment you are rendering a patrio
tic service-,..
You need the interest,.. By invest
ing our savings in government securi
ties, you are making a safe and sound
investment, at a good rate of inter
est (especially considering the non
taxable feature.)
But, remember that what the gov
ernment specially wants is jiufy so
much the money as what the money
represents, namely, labor and ma
terial. If you do extra work and
thereby earn extra money,, and put
that money into government ecuri-twa-yo,u
are letting the goveixument
have the labor, which' is one of the
two things that it chiefly needs.
If you economize material, and put
the money thereby saved into govern
ment securities, you are letting the
government have material, which is
the other of. the two things that it
chiefly needs.
SAYS JAPS MEANT TO
CO OVER TO GERMANY
Washington, March 2. In an ad
dr.ss published in the final edition of
the record of the last Congress, Rep
resentative Alvant Fuller, of Mass
achusetts, describes an interview with
M. Delanney, French ambassador to
Japan, and attributes to the ambas
sador -the statement that Japan is not
sincerely pro-ally, but intended to
support Germany until a Japanese
mission learned how whole-heartedly
America was going into the war.
Mr. Fuller's remarks, printed un
der the privilege accorded members
to insert in the record speeches not
actually delievered on the floor, con
cerned primarily abuses of the frank
ing privilege. Turning from that
subject, he told at length of a visit
to Europe shortly after the armistice
was signed.
"My trip across the water was un
eventful," he wrote. "I found among
my fellow passengers a most delight
ful person, who was no other than M.
Delanny, the French ambassador to
Japan. I took occasion to ask the am
bassador if, as a result of his observa
tion, the Japanese were sincerely pro
ally. To this inquiry the ambassador
replied very definitely, 'No, sir,' and
inquired 'who in the world thought
they were sincerely pro-ally?'
"Ambassador Delanney stated to
me that the Japanese intended, to sup
port Germany, but after their com
mission visited-here and saw how
whole-heartedly we were going into
the war '-they were afraid to do so.
Ambassador Delanney stated that he
sailed4 from Japan to Vancouver and
when the party arrived and learned
the news that Austria had .surrender
ed, the Japanese members of the
party were visibly disappointed.
- "He likened the emperor and the
f military caste of Japan to that of
Germany. He said tneir methods and
ideas and ideals were identical with
those of Germany." ; . ..

TIME TO CLEAN UP
For almost two years we were
engaged in war and naa tne nest
excuse in the world for neglecting
things around the premises. We let
the house go without the coat of ,
paint we intended giving it because
the war put the price of paint prac- ,s
tically out of reach. We neglected
to repair the barn and other out
buildings because the same ' thing .'
happened to lumber and nails. But
the wr is over, and while prices of
things have not descended a great
deal, the demands for war contribu
tions are less, and no Hendersonville '
citizen should longer delay making
needed improvements about his
place. It is bad judgment because v
the longer delayed now the more it
will cost in the long run, and once
buildings are allowed to become out '
of repair and defapidated it doesn't
take long for such property to shrink "-;
very greatly in value. Let's do thil
spring what we should have done and
would have done last had we not be
come engaged in the war. Let's re-.
move all rubbish from our premises,'
and use the paint bucket and white
wash brush freely. Let's fix up the
fence, prune the trees, and brighten
up the old place a little adding- to :
its appearance and general value at '
the same time. It wouldn't be a bad
idea for our town officials to set
aside a week in which every one could . '
get busy on his place. Call it "Clean- .
up Week" or anything else you like.,
But, for the sake of appearances, v.
for the sake of the general health
of the community and as a good a
financial investment, let's get busy, i
and fix the things we have allowed
to go unfixed during the time we -;
have been at war. i
