A. HOKE HUSS
The death of A. Hoke Huss last Thursday, removed One ol
Cherryville’s leading citizens from our midst Mr Huss was
one of the most prominent and best known business men ol
the county. He camp to Cherryville from Lincoln county
when just a young man and has been active- in the many busi
ness activities and industries as well te the civic and religious
life of Cherryville. He has seen Cherryville grow troni Un
cross roads
Mr. Huss has reared five sons and one .taughtei and »een
them all through college and all started out in life as teachers
in the public schools. Without »> doubt, this is one of the
finest groups of children in the state of North Carolina.
Mr. Huss greatly enjoyed his evenings up town and a night
hardly ever passed he was not seen up street He will not
be missed just by his family. He will be missed by a much
wider scope as his humanitarianisms and jovial disposition
carried him into other spheres in which his name will long be
remembered by a sorrowing concourse of friends.
DISTRESSING NEWS
News that Mr. Carl Rudisill, of Cherryville, one of North I
Carolina’s most highly esteemed and belov'ed citizens, has ]
suffered a stroke which leaves him in a serious, if not critical, j
condition, saddens the hearts of a multitude cf his friends, j
acquaintances and admirers.
As an outstanding industrialist, philanthropist, civic and
^ educational leader of North Carolina, he is widely acclaimed
M for his vast contributions to the public good and to the uplift
and betterment of his fellow citizens.
The people of the state who know him and appreciate his
generous and high minded services to the common welfare will
join in wishing for him a speedy and complete recovery.—The
Charlotte Observer
SPEEDING VICTORY
We doubt if there is any American in tins town, or in any
other town in our nation, who ever entertains the thought that ^
we could conceivably lose the war to Germany or Japan.
This confidence in our war leaders, in our soldiers and
Bailors and > in our production facilities is a splendid thing. ~
But even though our confilence irt victory may never waver, j*
most of us realize that the extent of our victory will depend ^
not only on the terms of the surrender of our enemies but £
<m the time and the lives which ure expended in bringing £
about that surrender. s
The completeness of our victory, in the eyes of most peo
ple, will be measured in terms of lives. The fewer of our
men killed and wounded, the greater will be the Victory.
How quickly and “cheaply" victory can be achieved de- j
pends, to a large extent, on how fast we at home can get suf- i
fleient supplies to the men at the front. In this war, more
than any other war, progress is limited almost entirely by
supplies.
To furniBh sufficient supplies to win tho war quickly not
only takes manpower but also dollar power. Other nations
have learned to fear and respect the power of the United
States because they know it is the richest nation in tho world.
So far there have been few delays in war production
caused by lack of funds. But to keep up that record we
must continue to keep our dollars pouring into the war pro
gram. Buying an extra bond during this Fourth War Loan
drive is one of the ways in which we on the home front can
help speed victory.
BILLIONS FOR POSTWAR
The United States Chamber of Commerce has found, as the
result of a series of surveys, that the things we are going to
want to buy first, when the war ends, in order of their im
portance are: New homes, new automobiles and new refrigera
tors.
The number of people in our nation who fully intend to
£uy one or all of those thing!-, and are actually saving money
for that purpose, is so great that it almost gu;u unices prospet
ity after the war unless something happens to prevent indus
try from converting rapidly from the manufacture of war sup
plies to the manufacture of these and other products for which
jthere is the greatest demand in history.
The most tragic thing that could happen in this country
would be a period of widespread unemployment, following the
war which would make it necessary for large numbers of the
people to use those savings to supjmrt themselves and their
families. It would only take a few months of unemployment
for the billions of dollars, which are now practically earmarked
to buy national prosperity, to evaporate.
| That’s why the government and industrial leaders who are
working on postwar plans consulet continued employment to
be the key factor in determining the future of our nation.

SODA
A nd HE means Soda...natural soda, the kind
he’s always used. He’s got to grow more
food and feed. He can do it if he gets
enough soda to top dress his grain, fruit and for
age; enough to side dress his com, vegetables,
potatoes, cotton and other vital crops.
Properly applied, 1 ion of soda top or side
dressing will produce 250 bu. of oats, 100
' bu, of wheat, or 125 bu. of corn; 12,000
lbs. of vegetables, 9,600 lbs. of forage, or
1.250 lbs. of cotton and 2,250 lbs. of cotton *
seed.
Last year 1,000,000 tons of Chilean Nitrate of Soda
were used on U. S. farms. This year every pound
that can he brought from Chile will be needed
— and every pound possible will be brought in
time for your ’44 crops.
