PNEMUFIL CORPORATION 2516 Wilkinson Bkrd. CHARLOTTE, N. C. HOME OF THE KILOWATTMAKER MW" IN THE PAST 20 YEARS ALONE,THE ELECTKK. INDUSTRY HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED ITS GENERATING CAPACITY TO KEEP AMERICA FAR AHEAD OF ALL OTHER COUNTRIES IN WAR AND IN PEACE. The Butcher, the Baker, and about every other producer in the Piedmont Carolinos are calling on — the K-.lowattmaker for more power than they ever used before. - Kilowatts are raw material thot they quickly turn into profit and progress. This raw material s delivered on coll in the exact amount colled for, and its cost is low. To meet this rapid increase in demand, the Duke Power Company has opened two new units and is providing other strategically located steam electrc plants. With the opening of the last of these, the capacity of the Duke System will be SEVENTY PER CENT GREATER THAN OUR TOTAL KILOWATT OUT PUT ONLY FIVE YEARS AGO.

These fanatics tell us with horror Of the mischief liquor has done. I say, as a man and physician. The system’s requirements are such That unless we at times assist na ture The body and mind suffer much. “Tis a blessing when worn out and weary A moderate drink new and then.” From the minister by the pulpit Came an audible murmur, “Amen!” “Tis true, that many have fallen. Become filthy drunkards, and worse— a A murmur rose up from the people From the midst of that listening throng, They had come from their homes with the purpose To crush out and trample out wrong. But the time-honored, worthy pLy sician, Grown portly in person and purse. Had shown the demon of darkness A blessing instead of a curse. Harmed others—no, I don’t uphold them. They made their blessing a curse. “Should wo bo denied for their sinning ? Should the weak ones govern the race? Why, every good thing God has given Is only a curse, out of place. Tis only excess that destroys ua— A little is good now and then.” From the white-haired, pious did deacon, amo a fervent, loud-spoken . "Amen!*.t And now, they were eager, impa tient To vote when the moment should come, They thought their right and their duty To license the selling of rum. Then up from a seat in the corner, From the midst of that listening throng Who had come from their homes with a purpose To crush out and trample out wrong. Rose a woman: her thin hands up lifted* And out from her frost-covered hair Gaxod a face of such agonised whiteness, A face of such utter despair, The vast throng grew hushed in a moment, Were silent with terror and dread.

You, doctor, beloved and respected, Could sec no danger in wine, For my boys, so proud and so manly— How could I hope ever to win, I When their doctor said ’twas a' blessing, And only excess was a sin. "My husband so noble and manly— My boys, so proud and so brave. They lie side by side in the church yard, Each filling a drunkard’s grave.

Can you see the fearful vision Of this army passing by? "A million young men give us, Who have never tasted beer; For new customers are needed For uur business year by year. “A million boys are needed.” Friends, have you a boy to spare To fill dying drunkards* places? Is it your son’s "needed” there ? "A million boys are needed”— (So the brewers plead theilr cause)— “Our trade’s urgent and demaiMs them, And we need, too, freer laws.” "A million boys are needed.” Tie your sons and mine they claim; But—our daughters now they’re asking, Not our sons, alone. Oh! shame. Shame on us Christian men and women, Who can fail to rise in might, And forever banish from us Every foe of Truth and Right. - “A million boys are needed.” Say, oh! brewer, have you one? Haven’t you a lad to offer ? Why not give your own dear son ? Haven't you a baby daughter You can spare to help your trade ? Never mind if she is ruined— Think of all the wealth you’ve made, Send her to your cursed beer rooms. Let her drink your brew of hell— If you haven’t son or daughter. Why seek mine your ranks to swell ? "A million boys (and girls) are needed.” ’ - * Yes, we need them every one, For a gl»rious, clean tomorrow Where the cause of Truth is won. • —G. M.
