2o4 students. So rapidly has the Nor

that it is confidently expected that the

BAGGAGE VALUATION Law.

The new regulations just put into
effect under the Cummins law regard
ing the valuation of interstate bag.
gage will probably for time cause
some confusion at railroad stations,
and perhaps lead to the missing Of
trains. Under the new statute inter
state passengers must declare the
value of their baggage before receive
ing checks and pay at the rate of 10
cents for every $100 of value over the
permitted 500. Thus trunk con-
5cining property worth $500 will cost
the sender 40 cents. Heretofore bag
gage losses we're chargeable against
the railroad companies only up to the
extent of $100, but now full losses
may be recovered on proof, and the
tax of 10 cents for every hundred over
the first hundred dollars is an assess
ment to stand as an insurance premf
UNI to protect the company against
subsequent claims. Without question:
this new rule will work out satisfac-
tory as soon as the travelling public
become accustomed to it. The Incl
dental delays in declaring and sign
ing and paving excess fees are to be
reckoned as part of the time OF getting
to the train.

No1sELEss STREET CARS.

Elimination Of the greater part Of
the noise that now accompanies the.
operation OF street cars and elevated
and subway trains is prospect Of
the immediate future as the result of
a new noiseless wheel which is de-.
scribed with illustrations in the June
Popular Mechanic Magazine A street
car equipped with wheels of this kind
and recently subjected to test runs at
Portland, Me-, is reported to have run
as noiselessly as an automobile. The
wheel is made of two sections, and is
in effect wheel within a wheel. The
inner section is fixed to the axle while
the outer section takes the bearing on
the track. Between the two sections
is cushion which absorbs the vibra-
tons caused by the grind of the tire
on the rail and by Irregularities in the
track, and it is this that gives the
wheel its noiseless qualities.

LORD KITCHENER APPEALS -
FOR 100000 MORE MEN.

london. - Lord Kitchener
told the House Of Lords today he
wanted 5000 more recruits.
He expressed confidence that in the
very near future the country would be
in a satisfactory position with regard
to the supply of ammunition.
The news from the GallipoH PENN
sula. in other words the Dardanelles.
was thoroughly satisfactory, Earl
Kitchener declared.
Referring to the offensive move
ments now in progress in La Bassee
and the Arras region Earl Kitchener
said:
I'VE have all followed with admira>
ton the forward movements OF our
brave allies ia an offensive operation
which has been marked with COM
plete success and which is still pro-
ceeding with every promise and 1nd1-
cation of being wholly satisfactory.
The attacks delivered by our forces
at first were not attended with the
same immediate success owing to the
elaborate arrangements made by the
Germans to defeat their lines after
their experience at Neuve Chapelle
but on the night of May Is, by re-
newed effort, the British forces drove
back the enemy on front Of approx
imately two miles for a considerable
distance, and captured from 400 to 500
prisoners This action also is pro-
ceeding and we hope that in conforms
ty with the French Operations it will
achieve important results.
''In these recent offensive operations
our losses and those Of the French
have been heavy, but the task our
armies have accomplished has neces-
STATED great sacrifices and the spirit
and morale of our troops has never
been higher than at the present mo-
ment."

RURAL TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS

cast for S6 Hours From Local
: Exchange.

Perhaps some of the telephone sub
scribers on the Farmers line are not
aware of the fact that they may obtain
from the HendersonVille telephone ex-
change each day except Sunday the
government weather report for the 36
hours following.
Some of our rural friends may feel
that they are as competent to forecast
the weather as the man Uncle Sam
hires to do the job" said Manager A.
s.. Truck of the local company. we
might agree with them in this, but the
government report is not forecast IN
the sense of prophesyipg or guessing
what's going to happen, but the insor-
nation is based on what is happening
For instance, If storm is few hum
dred miles South and coming nGrTh at
a certain rate of speed the government
officials having received word by iele-
graph how far away the storm ie and
how fact it is travelling, naturally are
in a position to tell what is going TO
happen.
Uncle Sam spends thousands Of
dollars to get this information all over
the country and he does it solely to
help the farmers" said Mr.. Truck.

TILL ALL IDLE LAND I'm 1916
SHOULD BE FARMERS, AIM.
Demonstration Perkins Gives Timely
Advice on Growing Grass and ClO-
yer; Join the Hay Campaign.

Are you going to have idle land in
1862 If so, for what reason?
Which shall it be? Who will have
the most idle land in Henderson coun-
ty in 1916, sor who will have the largest
number Of acres in clover?
A few dollars worth of clover seed
sown when you lay by corn will keep
land from washing, will add nitrogen
to the soil and will supply the humus
necessary to Hberate the natural pot
ash and phosphoric acid that is al
ready in your soil. 1t will also pay
you handsomely from hay stand
point.
Let's all rally this fall and make the
grass and clover crop in Henderson
county in 1916 the bumper crop. Let's
stop paying from SIS to 500 freight
for each car load of hay that is con-
sumed in Hendersonville and nearby
towns.
Two years of travel and experience
in Henderson county has proven be-
yond doubt that this is great coun-
ty for grass and clover l invite the
farmers to stop in my office and see
the kind of crops Henderson. county is
capable of producing.
If you have. not manure enough to
start as much clover as you would
like to SOW, you can economically re-
sort to lime and fertilizer. II has
been proven that grass and clover can
be proftably produced here on thin
land without using manure.
Henderson county has lime kiln
Why not use it? More lime, more
clover, more clover more corn, more
corn more prosperity. You have never
seen a farmer sold for debt when he
had corn in crib and hay stacked
i'around the barn.

merry school at Fortress Monroe. l am
just in receipt of a letter from the
Commandant advising me that you had
successfully finished the course in

achievements along this line have
shown that all the work that we have
tried to do in the matter of instruction
of officers has not been without avail.
I assure you that I am not unmindful
of the tremendous amount of work
you have had to do to be able to quail
fly in the many subjects you have mas
tered. 1t is a source of great pride
to me that you, one of my youngsters
somewhat of scapegoat-at that

the efforts you have made.

were set forth in the following state
ment issued at the White House to-
day upon the Presidents return:
SCI was greatly struck by the quiet
efficiency shown by the officers and
men and of the appearance OF the
fleet as I am sure every one must
have been who had the pleasure OF
seeing it assembled at New York.
There could have been no more inter-
esting verffcation of Admiral DeWey's
statement that the navy was never In
a better or more efficient condition
and that the country has every reason
TO be proud of it not only, but every
reason to wish to go forward IN its
policy Of steadily adding to its strength
and equipment"
