CARRY ON

How courageous is the
American spirit? Is it less
indomitable than that Of the
French or Belgians? France,
sorrowing, but undaunted, |,
has set about to repair the
wreck the ruthless invader
wrought, and refuses to view
the future darkly. Belgium,
stripped of all save honor,
looks forward to the day
when a greater nation will
arise out of the ruins of the
old. Shall America, then,
bend and groan under the
imagings of a burden which
it should bear lightly, if felt
at all?
Less than twenty years
ago the success Of the British
Government in raising $144,-

A CALL TO THE FINISH
BY Chairman Ewbank

wanted Volunteers to Work
for 9TH and Last Liberty
(Victory) Loan.
The undersigned, though
protesting that he is already
overworked- has been desig.
nate County Chairman to
press the Victory Liberty
Loan, over his protest. Hav-
ing been appointed and urg-
ed to do this work I am
going to do my best, and pur-
suant to this purpose have
selected a number of the
foremost people in the coun-
ty to aid in the great work,
but nearly all of those whom
I have called upon to aid
have positively refused be-
cause the pressure Of their
own business. I must, there
fore, appeal to the people OF
Henderson County, at large,
for volunteers to aid in this
work. If the German army
had won the war none of us
would have had any person
al business to attend to, but
would be serving the Kaiser
in such capacity as it pleased
him to command. We can't
quit until all the boys in Eu-
rope are home again. We
have got to pay to get them
back. This Liberty Loan is
the 18th and last that the
Government will ask the peo-
pie to take. It is to bring
home the boys who have
saved your liberties and kept
us from under the German
heel. Will not the red
blooded, patriotic citizens
from every precinct in this
county organize a committee
of workers at once and ad-
wise me that they are ready
to wind up Henderson's re.
cord in this war as it has be-
gun and continued up to now
one hundred per cent pa
triotic and liberty-lOx
Send me the names Of those
who are ready to volunteer IN
the army that has to put up
the last fight that must be
made to crown ouc victory.
Let me have your offer OF
services quickly that I may
post you and furnish you
with the necessary equipment
for the work. Who will vol
unteer? QUICK!
TIE drive begins April q.
We must be ready before
then.

foreboding, those should be
days of rejoicing, of conf
dence and of high resolve.
America is least injured of
any of the nations which took
active part in the death Crap
pie with autocracy on the
soil of France and Flanders.
Except for the sixty thou
sand who gave up their lives
and the other thousands who
are returning MANNED, the
United States has made no
real sacrifice. Our fields arc
green with grain, our homes
and factories are still stand
ing, our women and children
have never been terrified. In
all material things the nation
is richer and stronger than
it was before we went to war.
For our boys who have
been saved for us by the ter
mination of the war, for our
increased prosperity, and
above all the fact that liberty
still reigns on the ear tn, let
us make the Victory Liberty
Loan a thanksgiving loan;
and prove that we are. wor-
thy of the boys who have
died for US.
Above is printed a call by
z w Ewbank, Chairman
of the Committee for raising
Henderson County's share Of
this last Liberty Loan. Mos5
of the readers of The Hustler
know Mr.. Ewbank. No man
in the county believes more
firmly in Hendersonville and
Henderson County. No man
in tho county looks into the
future with braver conf
ience or better balanced op-
tinism; and he very seldom
calls for help, being firmly

peals for aid the aid is need.
ed. The menace of German
despotism is averted; avert
ed by men on the firing line
who never quit fighting
while the breath of life was
in their bodies; but another
menace now looms on the
worlds horizon-the unut-
terable menace Of world
wide anarchy-revolution-
Bolshevism; a carnival Of
murder and famine. In the
forceful language Of the man
in the street the greater part
of what used to be the civil
lized world is in q hell of q
fix today. The most deadly
possible blow at our gov
ernrnental structure today
would be a thrust at our ma
tional credit. The success
or failure Of this last loan
may in itself be the deciding
factor between the safety
or destruction Of our govern
ment. No one ever averted
q danger by closing his eyes
to it and telling himself it
did not exist. If we are
going to pull together and
win out let's do it with our
eyes open to the dangers on
every side; ifSwe are going
to sit down and all go to
hell together, let's still keep
our eyes open and see the
sights on the downward
trip; there won't be any re-
turn ticket. And if we are
going to help Wytte Kwbank
shove Henderson County
over the top for the last
time let s help him now. No
matter who you are, no mat
ter what part of the county
you live in, if you want to
help let him know at once
that you are wiling; he'll
tell you how. This means
YOU.

VICTORY LOAN FILM TELLS
WAR SECRETS.

Secrets of the war recorded by
/ the motion picture camera anf
only now released by the censors
are revealed in "The Price Of
Peace, an official film issued il
behalf of the Victory Libert,
Loan. and to be shown at Elks
Theatre on Tuesday, May 9Th.
"The Price of Peace" is the
only official picture ever assembled
which purports to cover the war
from the day it was declared down
to date.
The purpose Of the picture as
announced by the Department OF
the Treasury through Frank R
Wilson, director of publicity, is to
put before the public graphic
accounting and to make clear
why there is now Victory Lib.
erty Loan.
The picture opens with scene
in President Wilson's office and
a reference to that momentous
April 6, when war was declared.
It concludes with remarkable
view of the Statue of Liberty, in
New York harbor, and the home
coming of our army. But there
is a vast deal between, including
the embarkation Of troops, their
landing in France, final training
over there. then the desperate re-
alties Of the front line trenches,
gas attacks, army railroading un-
der fire, the great attack from
Scissors to Chateau Thierry, in
fantry and artillery under heavy
bombardment, a battle between
aeroplanes and the downing Of an
enemy airman, the observation
balloons under fire, then the bat
tie dead, the prisoners, captured
guns, our troops marching over
the Rhine into Germany, General
Pershing and his men in Prussia,

cupation in Germany, and the

of cane industry.

VI AohS
! Congressman Whit P Martin
delivered patriotic speech, using
for his subject Legislation for
Louisiana Products. He told the
cane farmers their industry was
reasonably safe for 1919 and that
/. he was reasonably sure that in the
revision of the tariff Congress
would put a tariff on sugar but
that it was not sure to meet with
President Wilson's approval.
L. L. Judice spoke in French in
support of the Victory Loan and
explained how to meet this bond
issue.
DIR. R. O. Young spoke on ..'The
Relation Of the Cane Manufacturer
and the Planter telling Of the
rightful relation that should ex-
ist between the cane producer and
the factory unit that produced SUI
gar. He pointed out that there
was mutual interest existing be-
tween the two organizations and
said without the proper co-opera--
ton neither one could make a sue
cess.

Probably the greatest thrill Of

Probably the greatest thrill OF
the picture is in the scenes where
our troops are seen going cover
the top" and into the wheatfelds
at 4 :35 O'Clock on that famous
July Is. 1913 There is dim
misty light, faithfully portrayed
by the photographer that gives
these scenes a peculiar and fasci-
mating intensity. Other scenes Of
desperate fighting show an Amer
lean battry under heavy fire from
enemy guns in the Argonne. In
v teother scenes American soldiers
are shown bravely advancing un-
der shrapnel fire across an open
glade. Two are shot down near
the camera.
The activities of the American
navy furnish another important
chapter of the picture. A number
of impressive scenes show the
German feet steaming in to sur
render.
Near the conclusion of the film
former Secretary McAdoo is
shown in his office at the Depart
ment of the Treasury welcoming
in Secretary Carter Glass, who
forthwith sits down to his desk
and writes a message, to the Amer
lean public.

WONDERFUL CHANGE
 HAS TAKEN PLACE

A traveller through the country today notices one thing more than any other, and that is the number of farms where electric service is now used.
 A few years ago, three or four at most, the coal-oil lantern and lamp and the Ion g handled wooden pump. which stood in the barnyard. were symbols of the farm. just as the street car and the department store are symbols of the city. With the farm were associated ideas of old-fashioned ways of doing things, of hard work and long hours.
 But what a change has taken place!
 As you go through the country you will find a surprisingly large number of farms electrically equipped. And nearly all of this equipment has been put in within the last three or four years. One manufacturer alone announces lover seventy-tiYe thousand satisfied users." a sur prising fact, in view of the farmers well-known tendency to make a long and thorough in- Yestigation before he buys any, thing in the way of farm equip ment.
 What, then, is the reason for this rapid increase in the rural use of electricity? Simply this, that electricity has proved to be wonderfully useful on the farm. Much more so, in fact. than in city homes.
 Electric light is not only su- perior to all others as a light, but is much more convenient, much safer, but is much more convenient, much safer, and. in farm usage saves a great amount of time.
 But electric power on the farm is even more useful than electric light. An automatic va ter system will pump every drop of water formerly pumped by hand. supplying water under pressure at faucets all over the house and barns. Electric motors will do the milking, separating, churn- ing, washing and sweeping, will turn the flaming mill and grind stone. Electric irons. fans, coasters and percolators also make the household work much easier
 All of this electric service is enjoyed at a low cost and with practically no bother. The best of the farm electric plants show a very low running cost and are practically trouble proof. Their engines are cooled by air, which does away with the trouble of carrying water and the danger of over-heating or freezing. They burn kerosene tor fuel. Direct connection of the gener- ator and engine, automatic lubri- cation, self cranking and self stopping are other features of lighting plants, which makes them easy to care for and operate. And of course with each engine and generator is a storage battery battery which light and power at all times of the day and night whether the generator is run hing or not.
 Where the plant has been pre- oerly designed and made. the owner is assured of satisfactory service. And he's not slow to ell his neighbors about the kind ,f satisfaction he's getting. The ,esult is that where one good plant goes into a rural communi- y it is usually followed by se- 1aral more That there are re-
