TELEPHONE EXCHANGE HARD
HE By THE INFLUENZA

The telephone exchange has doubt
less suffered a greater handicap by
reason Of the Influenza than any other
institution with so large a force.
On Saturday and Monday conditions
wore vcry had for the company. Five
out of six experienced operators wcTG
out and this left one to fill about all
functions of service, such as long dis
tance connections, information, local
calls, etc.
Two operators came over from
Asheville Saturday and another on
Monday to help relieve the Situation.
Manager A. S. Truck requests this
paper to request subscribers to be
reasonable in view of the embarrass-
ing situation and to reduce their calls
to those regarded as most necessary
in the hope Of receiving q service as
near up to the standard as possible.
1t is impossible for inexperienced help
to render a service equal in satIsfac-
Iion to that given under normal con-
ditions and subscribers are asked to
be ccnsiderate and use the telephone
only when necessary.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events it
is interesting to recall the conf dence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
"Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every di-
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

New figures on the American army
casualties, announced by the chief OF
staff, which exceeds that made public
week ago by $4,000 covers losses to
Nov. 26. The principal change in the
revised list is the addition of 13,100
men missing in action. General

assumed that an error occurred in the

HENDERSON COUNTY BOYS AT
HANCOCK READY TO RETURN.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Will you allow space in your paper
for few lines from the "old list
which is composed mainly OF Hender-
son county boys-and a happy 60
lucky bunch we are.
There are only about seVenty-five
of us left at Camp Hancock. A part
Of our number were transferred to
Camp Sherman, Ohio, to be attached
to a division going directly overseas.
Another detachment was taken about
twelve miles out from camp to the
machine gun range. But then the~war
came to an abrupt end. So both de-
tachments were deprived Of the plea
sure Of an overseas trip. The Fruit
land boys, among those who were
transferred, were Privates Arthur
and Duffie Pittillo, Few Gillian and
Crawford CantrelI. All who are left
in our company now are theCadre, or
non-commissioned officers who were
left for the purpose Of training raw
recruits. But, unfortunately we are
deprived of that privilege now, as the
last draft was cancelled.
So we are having a big time and
anXiously awaiting our time for being
mustered out, which we hope will
soon come. ...
The seventh squad, which comprises
three of the Fruitland boys stand
very high with the other members of
our company and will tell you who we
are in the next letter.
Thanking the Hustler for space in
the paper for our small item, we
are,
The Seventh Squad.

siege of Spanish Influenza have there
been any deaths in their families, and
many Of the parents, sisters and bro
