the State. The unqualified support

food and feed are too scarce and
valuable to allow it to be DESTROYED

FASSIFERN RECEIVES
e, PEACE NEWS WITH JOY.
(By Evelyn Byrd Graham)

(By Evelyn Byrd Graham)
News of peace was received at
Fassifern early Monday morning.
As the glow in the east began to dawn
there seemed to be written in the
heavens: "Peace on earth good will
toward men," The mountains ap-
peared bluer and all the world SEEM
ed a mass of unspeakable joy. The
sun never seemed so bright nor the
sky so perfect in color. Such screams
Of delight and joy as never before
went up in thanksgiving from the
lips of our girls. 1t was refreshing
to see such supreme delight at the
thought of the homecoming of their
fathers and brothers. DR.. E. E. b.
mar was invited to hold services at
the school at Ii o'clock. DR.. Bomar,
who always delights both faculty and
students, made an eloquent address,
which was impressive and %appropri-
ate.
A delightful program was i'm
mediately prepared and songs of a
patriotic nature were sung with
much feeling.
Cheers to our peerless president,
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, whose infalli-
BILE judgment has made him so great
during the war which has just ended,
echoed throughout the auditorium.
He, like George Washington, was
guided by his conscience to live by
the principles which he has set down
for the people.
At 6 p. m. the school attended the
parade in Hendersonville.
At 1880 p. m. the girls had a big
bonfire out on the lawn in front of
Fassifern and roasted marshmallows.
Songs and cheers were heard until a
late hour. November 18th, 1918,
will go down in the history of the
school as the greatest celebration ev-
er held under the portals of our dear
old alma mater.
The members of the domestic
science class, with nimble fingers,
served dainty refreshments out on
the lawn around the bonfire. Misses
Carrie Burnett and Dell Bernhardt
were chief cheer leaders and deserve
special mention for their untiring eff
forts during the day and evening.
At a p. m. the first match game
between the two basketball teams,
the "Reds' and "Blacks'' was play
ed. Both sides were evenly matched
and the game proved an exciting one.
The score was IA to IL in favor of
the "Reds.
Saturday Mrs. McBee and Miss
Ship gave a most delightful picnic
at Columbia Park for both faculty
and students.
Rev. A. W. Farnum held services
at the school Sunday morning at II
o'clock.
Fassifern has received materials
and is busily engaged in working fol
the Red Cross.
Prof. William Decoligney, instruc-
tor in French at Fassifern, on Tues
day morning at II o'clock, gave the
first lecture of a series, which he is
giving on French literature. Prof.
Decoligney is well informed on this
subject and his lectures are looked
forward to by the students and are
very educational.

it was hard for me to straighten. MY
head ached, a good zeal and I was

and I would nearly get blind. Morn
ing l was tired and all run down and
felt miserable. My kidneys didn't act
right, either. 1 finally began using

TO BILL HOHENZOLLERN

Bill Hohenzollern, years you planned.
And armed and trained your valiant
band
To dominate both sea and land
From zone to zone;
But when you saw your cruel huns
Moved down like grass by allied guns
You ape the snob who quits and runs
To parts unknown.
You said, twas noble, sweet and
brave
To die the Fatherland to save,
And fill an honorable grave,
All glory lit;
But when you heard the n n roar
And saw the allies at your door
You turned and faced a foreign shore
And hit the grit!
All, Bill, you kept out Of the fray,
Pretending you must read and pray
But when you saw h was to paw,
You lost your nerve;
You did not say: "Let come what will
III stand beside my people still"
So, swallow now the bitter pill
That you deserve.

HENDERSONVILLE FIRST IN
WAR; FIRST IN PEACE

1t should be a matter of local pride
first, that Hendersonville was the
first city in Western North Carolina
to hold a patriotic meeting following
the declaration of the war; second,
that Hendersonville was the first city
in Western North Carolina to antici-
pate, with a great celebration, the
surrender of German arms, and to
the emancipation of auto
cratic slavery; third, hat Henderson
county was the first county in West
ern North Carolina and in the State
of North Carolina to go "Over the
Top" in fulfilling her quota to the
United War Work contribution.
Pride and the expression of pride
in these great achievements is highly
m~eritorious. The men that are proud
of great achievements r the only
men that achieve, and the men that
are not proud are the men that do
not achieve. The men that achieve
things are the brave, courageous,
home loving, enterprising men of a
community. They are men that do
things. These are the men whose
sons brothers, and kinsmen were on
the front and went Over the Top in
the smoke of battle and in the mouths
of cannons and machine guns. They
are the conquerors, but not more
cOnquerors than the men whose pa
triotism reached into their pockets
and furnished the money to, sustain
the patriotic soldiers.
Hendersonville and Henderson
county was in the forefront in pre-
pairing and sustaining the war, Now
that fighting on the battle ground
has ceased, another great. work is be-
fore us. The organization, enter
prise, pluck and patriotism by our
citizens is indicative. of all good
things, including a love of home,
which is the; greatest of all patrio-
tism.
It was the unexampled organiza-
tion of Germany that. made her the
formidable foe that she was. It was
the organization of. Hendersonville
and Henderson county that enabled
us to achieve those things of which
we boast. Preparation for war gain
ed the victory.
Now our great duty is to prepare
for peace. We must rely upon the
great men of the nation to avoid the
dangers which peace involves. AS
an important unit within the nation
we must organize. and concentrate
our forces so as to make Henderson
vile a leader and an example in the
upbuilding of our part of the State
and Nation.
Our situation, local advantages, re-
putation and good name as a. resort
city is a great advantage and OPP
portunity is propitious. If we desire
to succeed eminently, we can, if we
will all come together as one solidi-
fed unit and pull together as n
man in aid and promotion of each in
dividual enterprise that promises
good to the body, utilizing the best
thought from our most sanguine and
earnest expectations. There is pro-
badly not another city of it's size
within the state or within the south
that has the opportunity that Hen
Jacksonville has to grow.
Plant the seed, cultivate the crop,
and great will be the harvest. If we
believe these things, come together
and act together, great results will
be. inevitable.

Movies In the War.

On the fast cruisers that convey the
troop ships across the sea, the Y. M.
c. A. movies are In many cases the
only recreation the sailors have. Owing
to the need of caution about showing
lights and owing to the fact that coal
fills most of the space in the ship,
these shows have to be given below
decks in highly restricted quarters.
Now and then It happens that the
sailor who secures even standing room
has to fight for the privilege,
In government circles the story Is
told of a had labor situation which the
movies remedled. At certain point
i'm Chesapeake Bay, windSwept and
cheerlcss, it was Impossible to keep q
sufficient force Of stevcdores on the job
until naval "Y" man came along
with a tent and movie camera.
In the transport service the Y. M.
c. A. is using 100000 feet of film, and
100000 feet have recently been select
ed for use with the American forces
in France. In choosing the films to be
sent abroad, the viewers worked 36
hours at stretch and examined ap-
proximately 100000 feet of film in
order to find One-quarter Of that
amount that was both free fror
French rights and fit to be exhibited
before American youngsters.

The interiors are as disappointing
as are the groups of domes which dis

surplus gilt and multiplicity of saints
which remind one of the gopuramS of
India. Spindle-Shankcd saints, whose
emaciated figures seem too weak to
support their gilt halocs, alternate

Alaska's Great Frost Depth.

The depth of permanently lrozeD soil
In polar and subpOar regions is a sub
jcct of perennial interest, concerning
which few data are available. In nu-
merOuS excavations made in placer
mining in Alaska the ground is per-
manently frozen to great depths, be-
ginning Is inches or 2 feet below the
surface,
In the Klondike, according to the
geological survey, the allurium is fro
zen to Il depth of about POO feet. At
Fairbanks permanent ground frost has
been found at many places to II depth
of more than 200 feet, and the deep
est shaft there penetrated 3lS feet of
frozen alluvium. In Seward peninsula
many holes in permanently frozen al
luvium are more than 70 feet deep and
one is nearly 200 feet deep.
On the other hand, some ground in
not understood According to Dr. "A.
II. Brooks, when the moss is stripped
from the soil the ground thaws, and
with open cut mining or cultivation
frost seems gradually to descend. 1t is
therefore believed that the ground
frost is a survival of a climate colder
than the present one and is preserved
by the nonconducting mat of moss and
other neutrality-suspicious. American.

PRIMITIVE WAYS IN ARABIA
Mode of Life Differs Little From
What 1t Was in the Time of
Abraham.

1t appears that in certain parts of
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Abraham's time. Sheep are
still slain to seal vow. The salt or
bread covenant Is observed and when
man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed.
Old names like Joseph, Moses Alex
andcr, etc, are still in common use
among Arabs, although pronounced
"Yusuf," "Musa" and "Skandar." To
divorce his wife man may repeat the
formula "Ent telek" three times; usu-
ally uttering it once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nec-
eSSary. The evil eye superstition is
common, and the first injunction CIV
en- a foreigner by experienced Arabian
travellers is that he must not point at
animals or persons in Arab settle
ments.
Arabs say that man possessed of
this malign power can look at bird
flying in the air and it will drop dead;
that if he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel 1t may go lame, or a
child may be struck blind. None of
the lower class can read or write, but
the Arab is noted for his ready wit
and his habit of speaking in allegory.

PROPAGATING BY CUTTING
By w. r. GILBERT.

Where thousands of plants are grown
for positions in the open air during
the summer, this Is an important oper-
alton from March onward. Consider
able forethought and knowledge OF the
work are necessary to obtain the plants
In suitable condition and in sufficient
numbers, when the time for plnating
out arrives.
Although decried by some, the scar
let geranium still has hosts Of admir-
ers, especially since the introduction
of the variety-Paul Crampel.
Cuttings of the varieties of which the
numbers are short can be inserted now.
These may be obtained from the old
plants lifted from the beds in the au-
tumn, or few tops may be taken on
the strongest of the young plants. In
serted in light sandy soil they Will
soon root on Il shelf in u warm house.
Cuttings of iresine, coleus, ageratun,
heliotrope, verbena, fuchsia, tihrouS-
rooted begonia, etc, when required in
quantity should be inserted in "A bed of
sand made up in a propngating frame

sand will be sufficient, and if this Is
made firm, well supplied with water
and bottom heat of rs to so degrees
maintained, many of the cuttings will

ting up sngly in small pots.
Remaining in the sand such a short
time, they can be dibbled in close to-
gether.
Lobelias, altermantheras and mesem-
bryunthemumS can also be increased
by the thousands in this way.
Provided there is good stock Of old
plants on hand, March is soon enough
to commence propagating.
Early in February dahlia tubers, of
which Il large stock is required, may be
brought into the propagating house.
placed on the stage, partly burying the
tubers in leaf mold, plenty of shoots
will soon push out. When these are
about three inches in length they
should be taken off with slight heel
and If inserted in sand bed they will
soon root.
A list of the quantities of plants re-
quired should be made and the num-
bers entered as they are rooted. This
may have much trouble when the time
comes for planting out.

HSWat the Rat!W

Since the Introduction Of the house
rat in the United States they have
become extremely abundant and widely
distributed throughout the country,
where they destroy annually many
millions of dollars worth of food
products and crops. These losses
occur alike in cities, villages and
farmsteads. Their inroads upon food
products occur in freight departments
of railroads and steamboat lines, stor-
age places of grain and food dealers,
commission houses, wholesale drug
houses, candy shops, bakeries, -four
mills, cold-storage houses, city and
country dwellings, granaries, fields
and poultry yards. The loss of food
and other products In the United
States from this source amounts to
not less than $2OO,O00,000 annually,
which amount does not include indi-
rect losses occasioned by human dis
ease disseminated by rats and the
necessary expenditures In combating
them. ..-----
