TO PLAY GOLF FINISHTHE JOB
ON new LINKS IS CRY HERE IN
WITHIN YEAR VICTORY LOAN.

The job is fnished-now let's pay
Eor it,"
Ihat seems to be the way this city
and county feels about the Victory
Loan campaign, which started on
Monday and which under the direc>
tlon OF Chairman E. W., Ewban1 a, d
MS able associates will come to an
entirely successful end on May 10.
HendersonTille and Henderson
county will both go over the Top in
the fifth and last loan campaign OF
the Greatest War, competent authori-
ties here say.
They declare that boys from this
city and town went through with
their part of the job, and that many
o. them went through hell in doing It,
Now it's up to the men and the VIZ
men they left at home to go thr ,uch
with their part of the work, it IS EN-
phasized.
These boys helped save these man
and women from personal and inti-
mate acquaintance with the Huns.
the baby killers and the yiolaters OF
women and the. crucifiers of men WHO
have given a new and more dreadful
meaning tO tho yVcrd War
Now many of these soldiers of free
dom are back home in Hendersonville
and Henderson county-some of them
with pictures in their minds they are
slow to speak of, that they want TO
forget, and they say their job is !inish-
ed and must now be paid for.
In the war between the states,
North Carolina was the first at Bethel,
the furtherst at Gettysburg, the last
at Appomattox, and placed more men
in the field than did any other state.
In the Greatest War, a Western
North Carolina man was the first sol
dier to set foot on the soil Of France.
And North Carolina soldiers were
the first to break through the we'll
known Hindenburg line.
SO are the glorious traditions Of the
Old North State maintained by the
newer generation, and SO, it is insist
ed here, will these traditions be main
tanned by the people who have most
largely profited by the sacrifices and
the suffering and the devotion OF
North Carolina men.
But quite aside from all this, and
believing it quite needless to do SO,
Hendersonville bankers call attention
to the iron-clad security offered by tho
government III exchange for the peo-
pies money. They emphasize the aO-
solutely gilt-edged character of tina:
security-the best on earth, they de-
Iare.
After the war between the tates
government bonds dropped to S5 ana
less. Later they commanded prem
ium that made their owners the eir-
We'd of all.
Bankers here and elsewhere insist
that is just what will happen this
time-only more of it!
Business men are backing the VIC
tory loan to the limit--as a glance ac
the advertising columns of this news
paper will show.
And they are proving thoir faith by
their works-in other words they al
buying what they believe is the best
investment on this green earth.
They will buy to tIlcir limit. 1iry
want to pay, as hon )rt';e men, fCH
til" job their boys have helped 70
fpish so finely. They intord staying,
with them to the very last.
Those in charge Of The Victory
Loan here believe this city and cour-
ty, in common with the nation, faces
period Of prosperity un0araIeil
There is but one more obstacle to
overcome, but one more bridge to
cross-the payment of the '-ar debts.
This is the purpose Of the Victory
Loan. If the banks have 10 shoulder
the burden there will be no money to
loan private individuals and prosper
ity will take a back seat and go to
sleep.
1t may take some sacrifice now
some scrimping and saving to do
your part. But in the days to come
you'll be glad you did your duty to
yourself and your country-glad yoc
put your money in the safest invest
ment in the world-glad you helped
pay for the job after your boys help
ed to finish it.
