French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1918-01-24
THURSDAY, JANUARY "a. 1918.


Mr.. Farmer, don't forget the pigs,
COWS and poultry. With the proper
care it will pay you to have several
on your farm
The housewives are "Hoover1zlng'
the railroads are "McAdooizing," the
business and Industrial men are Gar
ieldizing'' and as a result the cursed
Germans will soon be "Wilsonizing."
I The nearer the wal cOmes to a mans
front door the better his position fO1
his neighbors to accurately judge his
patriotism. If he squeals at a little
inconvenience, a him carefully
before calling him a patriot.
. Henderson county is credited with
having 1919 hogs in 1917 and is asked
to make an increase of 338 this year.
This increase has just about been
reached already. but the farmer should
not stop so long as the price of pork
tangoes with the stars.
An investment in Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Certificates is a good n
and you don't have to sugar-coat it al
all with patriotism. Buy the docu-
ments. Uncle Sam needs the money
to fight the Kaiser.

It's not so much what you want as
what you get during these war times.
Content yourself and so far as posi-
bic comply With the wishes of the
government and the end of the Wal
will be fastened accordingly.
Every farmer should carefully plan
for the 1918 CROP. Prices promise to
be good and the farmer can afford to
bend every possible effort toward his
crops and stock with a dual motive
selfishness and patriotism, which don't
go well together every time.
Hendersonville will never be a
moneyed town, even though it attract
half a million tourists, so long as it
sends away the most of its income for
feed stuffs. Last year statistics were
gathered to show that this county i'm
ported about $500, 900 worth of stuff
for man and beast. Until this leak is
stopDed we will never be prosperous as !
a community.
President Wilson is in full accord
with the order of the National Fuel
Administrator which closed the doors
of thousands of industrial plants as a
precaution against an impending fuel
famine. The President thinks it vast
ly better to close a small percentage
fuel consuming places that the peo-
pie may themselves be relieved from
intense suffering for want of fuel in
their homes. And he is right.
.
Mississippi has the distinguished
honor of being the first state in the
Union to ratify the proposed prohibi-
ton amendment to the Federal consti-
tuition. This action was taken by both
branches of the General Assembly
within fifteen minutes after receiving
the message of Governor BiIboa rec
~ommending immediate ratification. The
vote on ratification stood: In the Sen
ate, % to 5; in the House, SO to 8. Vir-
gln1a was a close second to Mississippi
in voting for ratification. The vote of
the Virginia assembly was: Insthe
Senate, 80 to 8; in the House. 81 to ~
A close third is Kentucky: brt the
vote was not given in published re-
ports of both the Senate and House
having voted for ratification. The re-
suit in Mississippi ard Virginia was ex
pected, but Kentucky has been reckon
ed in the doubtful column. Let the
good work go merrily on. The coun-
try needs more bread n les booze.

The State Food Administrator has
decreed that the consumer shall have
his sugar at ten cents the pound and
even hints at a still further reduction
a little later on. The prices of many
necessities are excessively high, but
the authorities are not privileged to
fix standards affecting articles of
purely local significance. But for gov
eminent supervision sugar would to-
day be selling at thirty cents
