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.” TRANS. BOYS WIN flONORS AT aVDE Welfare Workers Serve 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. NOTICE TO TRAN SYLVANIA CITIZENS Men In Quarantine During “Flu” Scare Succored By Y. M. C.

F. MINSTRIl 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. DOGS VS. SHEEP Brevard, N. C., Nov. 18 1918 Col. C. C. Hodges, Brevard, N. C.
