The bees resented disturbance and

Chas. A. WhittIe, Editorial Manager
The farmer can win this war.
Only by famine does the Kaiser hope
to conquer-famine by force of the sub
marine. If the submarine brings Eng
land and France to their knees, beg
ging bread in the humiliation of de-
feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon
the United States.
England and France can be saved
from famine by the farmers OF the
United States and Canada in spite of
the submarine If they will. The sub
marine will sink food that England
and France so sorely needs but the
submarine can not sink enough to
starve our allies, If the farmer OF the
United States will raise maximum
crops, raise every pound and save eV-
cry pound of foods he possibly can.
It's a fight, therefore, between the
farmer of the United States on the
\one hand and the gaunt wolf of the
Kaiser, famine, on the other hand.
If the American farmer can raise
enough to allow for the submarine
toll and enough more food to place
'over there" to feed those who are
fighting, then victory is ours.
But it's a narrow margin. The
whole world is on the verge of star
vation.. If even a normal crop is pro-
duced in this country it is not going
to afford enough to feed everybody

FINE PROGRESS
IN CITY SCHOOLS
(Ry Supt. c. w. Bradshaw


On March 1st the city schools
closed the sixth month Of the current
session and for many reasons the au-
thorities, and the faculty, should be
pleased at the work that is being done
and the progress the pupils are max
ing.
During the month, there have been
SOP pupils enrolled, and with this en-
rollment the average daily attendance
has been 452. For the entire month
a total of 125 tardies have been re-
ported by the entire teaching force.
This would give the per cent of pune
tualty at 98.6. 81
For the corresponding month a
year ago, theenrollment was $40, the
attendance $50, and the numbers of
tardies 1874.
By studying these figures carefully,
one might arrive at either of two con-
c!usions. First, there are slightly
fewer pupils in town to come to
school, or second, a smaller per cent
OF the people in town are enough in
terested in education to keep their
children in school, for the enrolment
for February of this year is 8 pupils
less than for the corresponding month
last year. This feature, of course,
may present a discouraging side.
There is, however, an encouraging
feature to the same set Of figures.
Fer, even though the enrolment is
&Lghtly lower, the average attend
s>hce for the month just closed is high
er than the average attendance for
me corresponding month a year ago.
and the number Of tardies this year
mas been about SO per cent of the
number Of tardies for the same month
last year.
8ut IN spite of any comparisons We
may make, the question still remains,
SIe the children of Hendersonville at
'enolng school as regularly and as
'1nctually as they should. Every boy
s..o girl who is reared in this day and
''tne is entitled to at least a high
S'nCol education. The country is

3-'+aIe, and if the children of the
!@no are not in school, then somebody

Red Cross Work; War Stamps Cam
paign Interesting.
The Fassifern Missionary society
held its monthly meeting in the school
room Sunday night. An interesting
debate was the main feature of the
program. The subject of the debate
was: Resolved, that the work of the
clergy at the front is more important
than that of those who remain at
home" Misses Jene Robertson and
Caroline Yancey had the affirmative,
while Misses Ella Lindsay and jose
phine Bird the negative. The papers
were a credit to the young ladies and
Robertson's excellent one. The
Judges. who consisted of three men,
bers of the faculty, found it hard to
make their decision, but finally decld-
ed in favor of the affirmative, due to
the fact that the arguments on this
side were more convincing.
The. regular monthly meeting of
the Fassifern auxiliary of the Red
Cross was held Sunday. It was de-
cided that Friday afternoon be set
apart for faculty and students to de-
vote to Red Cross work. The girls
are divided into groups with mem
Der of the faculty as leader of each
group, for especial work. We have
now twelve dresses to make for Bel
gian relief and work has already be-
gun on them.
Wednesday afternoon Miss Samp-
son, with several of the girls; had a
small sale for the benefit of the Red
Cross. A sum of two dollars was
cleared. The Thrift Stamps cam
paign at Fassifern is increasing rap
idly. Each girl, is doing cher bit"
along this line, and great interest is
being manifested.
