To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir-"lt Is better to be safe than

man. Of Indiana. The force OF this
maxim has como home TO US in think

their places. The result is little

If an army travels on Its belly and we
pursue this policy 1t will soon be an
empty one on which 1t crawls We
must have German prisoners put to
work on the farms IL this policy is

the Republicans put forward an assortment

locally esteemed. but having no Statewide

A Defense OF Gro.yeuor.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch
Sir,-As g friend and biograuher o.
the late General Charles ii. GrosTenor
one OF his minor biographers--I do
gre 10 briefly supplement your apure
ciatiVe comment of November l. Den.
eTai Grosvcnor was not retired from
ms commanding position in Congress-
ty the Democratic party. as you su-E
gest, but by faction Of his own party
ihauenced by Interests hostile TO eros
renors attitude on maritime matters.
Inc general delvcd deeper than wpy
desired by certain dominating inter-
ests mostly foreign. which wished a
restriction in tho development OF an
american merchant marine. The time
has not become propitious for making
his position clear
General Gro3vcnor was probably
capab OF performing more mental and
physical labor In given time than
were any of his contemporary at the
bar or in politics. He had a mar
velous capacity for absorbing facts. i'm
bounded energy, and Il courage TO take
positions on public questions which
were not popular. Judge welch. or
the Ohio Supreme Court. used to say OF
Grosvenor that II his discretion had
only equaled his ability he would have
reached the presidency of the United
States years ago.

WOOD MARKET OPENING up
BETTER PRICES TO PREVAIL
Announcement is Made by Local Con-
cern Of $3.50 Per Cord Delivered.

An advertisements in this issue of
the Hustler belonging to the Hender-
sonville Laundry. Ice and Fuel COM
pany announces a new market price
for cord wood delivered to the house.
Provided as much as five cords are
bought it can be had at $3.50 per cord.
The enterprising managers of this
concern realizing that the coal market
wa srather uncertain have mare ar
rangements by which Hendersoncille
people can secure wood at "Iet live
prices"
The city has been in rather a pre-
d1cament for wood during the past
two weeks, Several of the local deal
ers have secured, a small supply and
nave been selling it in small lots to
relieve the strain.
The coal situation is just about the
same. excepting the enterprising work
being done by Fuel Administrator r.
M. Oates who has been selling small
lots of coal to those in absolute need
of same at cost prices. This coal is
being supplied from the private stocy
OF the Hendersonville Light and Pow
er company,
Mr.. Oates buys a number of car
loads every wear to run his steam
with. He had several cars on
hand when all the local deaelrs were
unable to supply the demand during
the recent cold weather. Mr.. Oates
does not deliver the coal but has sim
ply been helping the citizens out until
the loca dealers can supply the de-
mands.
The rule now being adheared. to by
the local dealers is to take, your order
and place your name on a waiting
Its then delivering coal to you in reg
uar order as it is received in the yards.

COUNTRY BOYS SHOW UP
WORSE THAN CITY BOYS.
SeIective Draft Examinations Find
More Country Boys With Defects
Medical School Inspection Made
Difference.

County boys according to recent
draft data, showed up worse in their
physical examinations for army ser
vice than did city boys. A greater
per cent of young men from country
were found unit for military service
because of physical defects than was
the case with young men raised in
cities. Dr.. J. A. Nydegger of the Uni
ted States Public Health Service, who
is authority for the comparison ac-
counts for this difference through. the
lack of medical inspection in the
country schools. He says:
"While in this country most of the
city schools have adopted medical in
Espection, most of the rural Institutions
have none. In this lies the fact that
insanitary defects which are today
barring men from the United States
forces. Defective eyes, teeth, ears
and throats among the youth of rural
communities have been found to be
due largely to conditions in the rural
schools. Improper desks and seats
also have caused much spinal curva-
ture, leading to other faulty condi-
tions. These conditions ought to be
corrected at once, and school children
all over the country should be examin-
ed because defects arising at their
period of life as rule cannot be oVer-
come later
The State Boar dof Health says that
this is just another surprise that he
physical examinations incident to the
seleetive draft have made known.
every body expected a reasonable
number of reflections on account OF
physical unftness among our young
men," says the board. but as they were
the pick of our flock and the best of
our manhood. We were more than sur
prised when it was learned that some
thing like a third failed to quality.
"This convinced us. that something
had to be done particularly for our
young men who are now in the max
ing. Many suggestions have been Of
fered but medical school inspection
iout-weigsla them all That the coun-
Try boys least 4 be expected =to
city boy is a more evident reason stiisss
a State wide Medical School 1nspec-
law is what is needed.
North Carolina is probably the only
State that has this law. Beginning
Noember /, this law goes into effect in
thirty-five counties, and should an
other draft be necessary in the next
several years, North Carolina's coun-
try boys at least will beexpectd &c
show up with their city cousins"
