UNITED WAR M CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
m500,0t») FOR BOVS OVER THERE
AND IN FIGHTING AREAS WILL 8TIR THE SOUTHEAST WEEK OF
NOVEMBER 11.
According to the statement Issued by Dr. John R. Mott, Director
General of the United War Work Campaign, ttio total amount to be
raised during the week of Novembar 11th is $170,500,000. fixed by the
War Department, approved by the President.
The fund will be administered by the Government Director for the
seven recognized War Work Agencies, the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A.,
National Catholic War Work Council (Knights of Columbus), Jewish
Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American LJbrary Asso
ciation and the Salvation Aimy.
“Tho amount is the largest ever asked as a gift from any people
in the history of the world,” said Dr. Mott. “Viewed as a total sum,
it seems gigantic, but divided by the four million men who will be under
arms in our army and navy during the period it is expected to cover,
you find that it means less than 15 cents a day per man. Surely there i
is no Father or Mother or friend of a soldier in this country who will
say that 15 cents a day is too much to spend on his church, his home
over there, his library, his theatre and his club. The President summed
up the whole appeal in a recent letter in which he spoke of the work of
these seven great agencies as “of vital military importance.” He had in
mind the fact that their activities are largely responsible for the mainte
nance of the splendid morale of our forces. There has never been in
history so spectacular an example of the extreme importance of morale
as is now being presented on the Western front. The forces that confront
each other there are not widely dissimilar in numbers or equipment,
yet one army is constantly withdrawing and the other irresistibly mov
ing forward—the difference is spelled in the single word, MORALE.
“Napoleon said that ‘morale’ is as other factors in war as three to
one! General Pershing, in a recent letter, commenting on the work of
the agencios, quoted with approval the statement of one of his colonels,
who said: ‘Give me nine men who have a hut to «fpend Ibeir evenings in
and I will have a better fighting force than ten men would be without
it.*
If it is worth $24,000,000,000 to keep our boys under arms next year,
surely it is worth $170,000,000, and more, to add 10% to their fighting
If it brings victory 10% nearer. This is the appeal of the seven Unit
ed W«ar Work agencies to America, and particulr.rly to those four mil
lion honiGP where service flagr. fly, and we know what America’s an
swer will be.”

Soldiers During Epidemic
One hundred and thirty head
of registered cattle and a large
number of hogs were exhibited
at the District Livestock Show
in Clyde last week. The cattle
exhibit was large and all were
good individuals, but Transyl
vania can beat Haywood in reg
istered hogs.
In the beef cattle judging
contest Miss Duchers McCrack
en, a farmerette won first prize.
Only four Transylvania boys
entered the contest and all won
prizs. This speaks well for our
boys as this contest was open
to Western North Carolina.
The following prizes were
won:
Charles Allison, Pisgah For
est, 2nd prize, $10.00.
Claude Neal, Lake Toxaway,
3rd prize, $8.00.
Dew^ey McCall, 4th prize,
$6.00.
Walter Orr, 6th prize, $3.00.
All the boys expect to enter
the judging contest at Char
lotte on the 11th of December.
At this contest the fcoys will
judge horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and chickens.

SHOW POSTPONED
On account of the epidemic
of influenza the Minstrel show
which was to have been put on
at the auditorium cn Thanks
giving: night for the benefit of
Ihe OddfeHows, has been post
poned indefinitely.
My Fellow Countrymen:
I point to your vote for long
er schools on Nov. 5 last past
with pride. For every vote
against the constitutional
amendment there were cast
practically sixty-seven for the
amendment. Now, therefore,
we present a united front for
better educational facilities in
the “Great State of Transyl
vania.” It is my most keen de
sire that equal educational op
portunities be given throughout
{the county, and I might say
here that the plans are already
in process of making. Our chil
dren henceforth are to have ev
ery possible educational advan
tage. The public school has a
vital organic relation to the
state and we cannot afford to
lose sight of this relationship.
As there is more hope in a cul
tivated field, so, there is more
hope for success of the trained
mind. Again the welfare of
the state depends upon the
minds of its citizens.
The old idea that “clacics is
all” is fast giving away to the
adequate needs of the State,
We can and must turn our boys
and girls out of the high school
prepared to do something, and
with the grand way opened up
by the good people of the whole
state we are beginning the for
ward march. Everybody join
in the march and keep in line.
Yours for success,
A. F. MITCHELL,
County Supt.
