Liberty Loan Workers: The drive
on third Liberty Loan is now on
and will close May. iourtrj. Let us
git to work as though we had only
one day for this drive. If you will
put your heart in this work we can
accomplish wonders. Do your best
and if you only secure sale of one
fifty dollar bond you have done
your duty.
Application blanks have not yet
been received, but will distribute
same soon as they arrive; but don't
wait for these, but get the subscrip
tion and the first five per cent pay
ment and send to your subscribers'
bank for them if not convenient, for
hem to look after it. Payments
are as follows: 5 per cent down, 20
per cest May 28th, 35 per cent July
lSih and 40 per cent August 15th.
There is not a man in' Jackson '
county in good health who cannot
buy at least one bond of fifty dol
lars, if he is patriotic enough to
suffer some little self-denial.
It is either "GO ACROSS OR
wiuli nv,nvu nun w v j uiuu
should either pay or fight.
Send in names of subscribers
promptly, as we will begin r.n "Hon
or List" in the Jackson County
Journal by publishing name of sub
scriber, but not the amount sub
scribed. ,
When this list is complete we can
place the slacker w ho wants to ride

Don't put off starting pn this work,

A JACKSQJilAN IN
THE AVIATION SERVICE
Dear friends: Since I have been
in the service of Uncle Sam, I have
thought many, many times that I
w.uld write to the. Journal I have
put it off from time io time; I have
actually gone so far as to gei my
pen andpaper for the purpose of
writing, then something would di
vert my attention from it.
Many people of Jackson and
Transylvania counties and a num
ber in Hr. y woe ', know me person
ally. It is thL portion of the peo
pie uiat I think of most; it is to you i
..... i
chieily, that I w.sh to write this
evening;! t us you who bring before my
mental vision ixi:..,y of the happy
scenes of the past and cause me to
live over again, in sweet remem
brance, many of the lovely exper
iences with you Tar Heels. I . call
myself a Tar Heel with great pride,
as I think every North Carolinian
should, and especially should those
of us who now wear the -uniform
tak pride in the name, when we
consider its derivation ard mean
ing aud then think of our present
responsibility and how tmuch the
world is new depending on us as
soldier, is we pay our debt to hu-
m-rity bycoffering ourselves to up-
noia u.e nonor mnentea oy us trom
our nolle forefathers ard prove to
the world the truthfulness of our
much prided reputation of being
friends to humanity and defenders
and protectors of the weak and op-
pressed.
T v rie to my personal friends
that they .may know where I am
and what I am doing.. There are
many to whonr l v:
6iritkewirffei1
personally, but it would be too great
a task.' to write to all that way.
Then too, there are many - who do
not know me personally but who
have a little corner in their heart
for me as a soldi rr bey from Jack'
son county who is t heir representa
tive and who shuli soon go a3 such
to pay the "Huns a vitii.aud help to
pay them what is due them in re
turn for their inhuman cruelty alike
tp virtuous women and their white
headed parents and neighbors.

sent to Fort Thomas. Ky- (about 7
miles south of Cincinnati, unio;
and there we took the oath on Dec
ember 13. There I stayed until
February ' 20. Thirty-one days of
that time I spent in quarantine for J
measles, official ideas, etc. On Feb-
ruary 26 I left fort Thomas for the
Kelly Aviation Fields near San
Antonio. Texas. We, 86 of us, had
a lovely trip by way of New Orleans

American troops are now rein
forci g the British line in France,
along which the greater portion of
which the Germats are keeping up
their string attacks with hordes of
men and great concentrations of
artillery in assaults that now aDDar-
ently have their objective in the
penetrating of the battle front in
Northern France and Belgium. It '
was a happy lot of m3n that -swung
into the sector choien for them,
and they were greeted with great
enthusiasm.
From th 3 south of Yprei in Bei-
gium to th region of LaBasse, in
j France, the new offensive of the
Germans is being carried out with
! great desDeration. with thousands of 1
men, under eov
endeavoring to pierce the bravely
defended fronts held by the British
and Portugese and now also at
so.ne unnamed Doint bv Aoierinans.
Oa several sectors of the new

northwest of Armentieres and North
west of LaBasse Salients which
seem to make certain the evacua
tion by the British of Armentieres
and to threaten seriously the im
