THURSDAY, MAY Is, 1913.
l THANK YOU.

It is with this issue of the Hustler
that another takes hold of it's helm to
guide it through many uncertain
seas. 1 am leaving this week to &C
cept a position with the Asheville
Times, in the advertising department,
a position which, I feel, is in a way a
promotion.
Hendersonville, to me, is one of the
greatest cities of it's size in the
world. 1 have come in personal con-
tact with the business element al
most daily for the past nine years
and I do not think l am exaggerating
one bit when I say that there is more
business transacted here on the
amount of money invested than in
the average city of like resources. /
mean by this that the business men
are live, wide-awake fellows who will
be quick to grasp their opportunities
just as soon as industrial develop
ments begin in Hendersonville.
I have boosted the resort business.
The files of The Hustler will show my
'bit" towards good roads and I have
always maintained that a larger pay
roll is the business mans greatest
need in Hendersonville. I still be-
lieve that Henderson county has al
most every natural advantage for
mills.
I do not feel that I am leaving
Hendersonville altogether. I will
have the pleasure of seeing many of
my Henderson county friends in
Asheville and of course I shall return
on short visits. HendersonvilIe and
Asheville have a great many things
in common. They are linked closer
together than a great many people
think. I shall invariably speak a
good word for Hendersonville and
shall never forget the many favors
shown me while living in your midst.
If I am so fortunate as to rise higher
in newspaperdom I shall always re-
member my start, which was made in
Hendersonville. The experience has
been well worth the time.
1 have the very highest regards for
my successor, Noah NJ. Hollowell. l
have been associated with him in
business for a good many years and
know him to be a young man of sterl-
ing qualities. That he will make good
with the Hustler goes without saying.
1 sincerely trust that my friends will
continue to patronize him and that !
my enemies may do likewise.
May The French Broad Hustler
grow to be a great factor in the up
building of Hendersonville and Hen
derson county.

Telephone Company Plans
To Improve Service

Our request of the North Carolina State Corporation Com
mission tor authority to. enforce the clause in our subscribers
contract for service which provides that we shall furnish service
Tor the use OF (the) subscriber, subscribers agents and repreSen-
tatlves only is in the interest of improved service, conservation
of facilities and the elimination of an unnecessary burden now
borne by the company and certain of its subscribers.
For many years we have permitted our operators to furnish
our subscribers an information service, such as giving the time of
the day and answering other inquiries not in any way connected
with the furnishing of telephone service.
We have also INDUCED the practice of many subscribers to
business service IN allowing the general public free and unre-
SIlcted use Of telephone stations in the subscribers place of
business, with the result that this practice has developed into an
abuse.
This free use of service by the general public prevails extern
Svely IN our larger cities and is noticeable in public and semi
public places in many of which a telephone station is provided
Tor the tree use OF the public for advertising purposes. Teh-
phone stations of this class are used beyond all reasonable limits
Tor frivolous and unnecessary purposes and prove a burden upon
the service by requiring operators and facilities which are u-
gently needed for necessary and serious uses.
1t is such stations as these that will be effected by the en-
forcement OF the contract. The plan, as applied elsewhere, has
met with public approval and does not restrict the service of the
individual subscriber.
The demands upon the operators and facilities of the COM
pany by reason of the innumerable requests for the time of day
ana otner information and the extensive and unauthorized use of
M service In public and Semlpubic places, have grown to such
proportions as to seriously handicap us in our efforts TO render
eHclent service to our subscribers who arepayin6 for the service.
Coupled with this there is such an unprecedented demand
Tor telephone service and facilities, both for business and social
purposes that we felt it our duty to petition the State Railroad
commission Tor authority to enforce our subscribers contract,
SO that facilities now used for frivolous and unnecessary purposes
might be released tor a more serious and legitimate use.

COUSIN AT WAR
 HIGHLY H0N0RED

A recent issue of the Hartford Courant,'' of Hartford, Conn, con- tained the information that Miss Agnes Ward of that city had been blessed by Pope Benedict XV and decorated for valiant war service by the allied governments. Miss Ward, who is a Red Cross nurse in an American hospital in France, is cousin of Miss Rose Darcey, a nurse at the St. Josephs hospital in this city. The article is of special intel est locally on account of the drive being made for the enlistment of nurses in the Red Cross work
 Following is the article which ap- peared in the Hartford paper
 A Hartford girl has been blessed by the pope and has been decorated by the allied governments for her valiant service in the war zone. She is Miss Agnes Ward, daughter of Captain Ward.
 Of group of 30 nurses and doctors whose enthusiasm carried them into the Red Cross and so across the At lantic to stricken Belgium in the early days of the war, she is the only one who has stuck it out'' Her father was averse to publicity of her great service. He said his daughter was averse to it too, but with par donable pride remarked that she would stick" till the finish. Those who know Captain Ward will recog- nize that his daughter in the war zone has her fathers courage.
 The pope granted Miss Ward an audience in Rome, during a vacation, and conferred his blessing upon her for her devotion.
 Thomas F Ward hro+bor of Mice Ward, is at Camp Upton. Yaphawk, New York. Another brother is also in the service. Miss Ward was gradu- ated from St Vincent's hospital, New York, and has several post graduate courses to her credit.
 Miss Ward is in love with her work and writes many interesting letters concerning it. Always after she hears the distant thunder of guns, the win dows rattle and the mangled poilus smile, according to her letters, and then the next day another stream of maimed humanity flows into the ward. Her first six months at La Parme soon passed away and she re- newed her service for another half year. At the expiration of this lat ter interval she travelled across France to Paris and there joined the
 
 American government has taken over the unit, retaining it's members for the duration of the war. Miss Ward is now at Meuilly, six miles from Paris She writes little of her life 1 but speaks of the wonderful work done in saving. crushed legs. Sol diers come in without ear or nose or both, or one side of the face gone go out with new nose, ear and side i of face. It is all so wonderful that words fail to describe it." says she | in a recent letter.
 At La Panne she spoke of the Ger man bombardment of DunIlirk, of the flood of shells that curved above the | hospital. Often a shell burst neal the hospital grounds and buildings trembled. No one was injured though she added. In the summer of 191t she, with two other nurses wa: granted a months leave of absence They went to Rome from Paris where she obtained an audience with the pope. She says that one of the hap. piest days of her life was when ole glory was raised over Paris.

GREGORY ATTEMPTS
 ID GET HIS CHILD

On Monday De Roy Gregory through his attorney J. c. Wanslee brought habeas corpus proceedings against Mrs. l.. M. Fleiger, matron of the Florence Crittenton Home claiming that his 19- months old son, De Roy, Jr., was being held there unlawfully. The writ was maGa returnable yesterday afternoon by Judge Stanford but when the in terested parties appeared in court counsel for Gregory filed a juvenile petition which came up for hearing be- fore Judge Lyman.
 The mother and child appeared in court with Mrs. Fleiger. Judge Lyman refused to hear the case when the statement was made that Mrs. Gregory had been committed to the Home by another judge but when it became known that no record had been made of her commitment the court heard few remarks by counsed for Gregory and Robert Jarrott representing the county attorneys office.
 Mr. Jarrott stated that there was a charge of aggravated assault pending against Gregory and Mrs. Gregory and the child had to be properly supported so that an oral order had been entered and they had been placed in the home. The court held that Mrs. Gregory was living at the home just as she might be living in any other household and upon complaint of Gregory that he
 could not see his child, stated that Mrs. Gregory and the matron had the same right to say who could and who could not come on the premises. Judge Ly-
 man said he would not hear the action but that if the moral or physical well | fare of the child were in danger he would sit in the case.
 Half an hour later the habeas corpus action was dismissed by Judge Stan

ATTEMPT ID RECOVER
 INSURANCE POLICY

An interesting legal battle is being waged in Judge Stanford's court by S. J. Goodgame and Mrs. Anna Black burn against the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance company, the plain tiffs attempting to recover on an in- surance policy. The sum involved is $S.610 with interest and attorneys fees making total of over $4,000.
 In December. 1917, Goodgame in sured 17,612 pounds of seed cotton To- cated on the Dan Hubbard ranch two miles northeast of Mesa for AS days for $4,403. Three days later it is al- leged by the plaintiff that while the policy was in force, the seed de- stroyed b-s fire. At that time cotton seed was worth 201s cen pound and the seed in the aggregate amounted to S3,610. Mrs. Blackburn is made par ty to the suit because of a mortgage which she held on the cotton. Counsel for the defense are attempting to show that the amount of cotton claimed by the plaintiff was not raised on the land in question nor was that the amount stored in the shed where the fire occurred.
 E.. G. Scott and Judg- Ernest Lewis represent the plaintiff and w. w. Hindman of Los Angeles and George Purdy Bnllard the defense

TO PAY WAR TAXES
 ||VSTAL[MENT PLAN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Install- ment plan payment of war taxes will be provided for in the new revenue bill which the house ways and means committee is preparing to draft. Chairman Kitchin disclosed this fact during today's hearing before the committee, when Albert R. Palmer of New York, representing a large number of corporations, urged tha
 such provision be made. Details o1 the scheme are yet to be worked out
 MT. Palmer advocated tax on gross sales which he said would be less felt than the tax on war profits. He opposed a tax on stock dividends. contending that exemption from taxes should not be based on capital because of the widely varying reve- nues of companies operating along the same lines. He argued for a tax on gross income which could be passed along easily to the consumer

CORELL| TR|0 WILL PLAY AT RIVERSIDE

The feature at Riverside park this week is the Corelli String Trio, a com bination of instrumentalists who give open air concerts from to 9 o'clock each evening.
 This is the first visit of this trio to America, but it has travelled all over Europe and has just recently returned from tour of Australia and New Zea- land. The trio should afford much de- light to the patrons of Riverside park, and the music produced by it has been compared with the best that has ever been heard in Phoenix.
 The big night this week at the park will be Thursday, which will be Ed Rudolph night. Rudolph is preparing something big for his friends culmi- hating in one great holiday at River side Thursday njoht.

FOREST FIRES ARE
 MENAC|NC RESERVE
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

MISSOULA, Mont, June 11.-With scores of fires. some covering large areas, and blazing unchecked, others small and yet within control, burning in dry forests and northern Idaho, the first situation in the territory em- braced within district No. 1 of the for est service is the most acute that it has ever been at this time of the year, forestry officials declared today. Indi cations point to a fire season worse than that of 1917, they said, since it is starting fully a month earlier.
 More than 800 men are fighting fires in the national forests of this district, 150 of them engaged in an effort to save the town of Essex, in the Flat head forest, on the Great Northern railroad. One hundred others are fighting fire near Belton, at the west end of Glacier National park.
 Two hundred and fifty men still are fighting the fire on Marble creek, near the St. Joe forest, in northern Idaho, where thousands of acres of valuable privately owned timber land are being burned over. This blaze was declared to be the worst in the district.
 In the St. Joe district a pack train of fourteen mules was caught in a fire and burned. The driver escaped.

WANT WORKERS FUR b|G THRIFT
 RALLY TONIGHT

Making it an occasion wherein those who for their government in this war crisis are willing to make some sacrifice of time and labor will be given the chance to enlist in war service, the big war savings stamp rally of this evening at the ~" sta dium promises to be a notable event in the patriotic series. Hugh Marshall will be the principal speaker of the evening and he will bring a war service message which his thousands of friends here will undoubtedly wish to listen to. The meeting will be opened at s o'clock.
 Most of all they want volunteers to come to the meeting so that workers for the war saving stamp danger of there being too many, say those in charge of the meeting. The more who volunteer to help in this work the more chance Phoenix and Arizona will have of making a record for the thrift stamps equal to that it has made for the Liberty loans and the Red Cross.
 Under the direction of the United States treasury department cam paign of pledges, eliminating in the observance of June 2S as National War Savings day, is being inaugur- ated for the purpose of having Americans pledge themselves to save and economize that American soldiers and sailor, as well as those of their allies, may have ample supplies of arms, ammunition, food and clothing without which they cannot fight.
 Thrift at home being as urgent as efficiency abroad, scores of workers will canvass every home in the United States for pledges during this cam paign.
 At the meeting tonight at the sta dium chairmen will be selected to organize the workers into efficient squads that will put Phoenix among the first cities in the United States to go lover the top"

TAXES MUST BE PAID ON ALL PERSONAL
 PROPERTY SOOV

a Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer have you paid your personal property tax?
 Have you paid the price of be- ing the owner of personal prop erty for having perhaps an auto mobile in your name?
 If you haven't-its mighty close to the time when it will be worth your while to have a receipt in your possession.
 J. T. Bone, county assessor stated yesterday that all personal prop erty not secured by real estate on which the tax has not been paid will be attached on Saturday.
 MT. Bone says that there are fully 1000 automobiles in this county on which the tax has not been paid. Two cars have already been attached, notice having been given the owners some time past.
 Although it is not necessary for the county assessor to notify the personal taxpayer, notices were sent to every man and woman on the list held by the assessor Despite this measure taken by the office scant notice was given by the taxpayer who has but a few days in which to make good or have his property attached.
