Commencement Next Week;
The Program Of Events;
Many Valuable Prizes

executive committee submits the en-
tire program as follows:
The seventh grade examinations
viii be given on May II and 18 be-
ginning at 10 o'clock a. M, sharp, in
the Hendersonville graded school.
Each teacher who has pupils to take
the examination is requested to send
to the county superintendent men,
orandum of each pupil showing the
name and address and the average
term marks on each subject to be COW
cred by the examination. This record
is absolutely necessary since the
term standing is to count two points
and the examination one point to-
ward the pupils promotion. The pass
ing mark of subject is 70.
The examination will cover the
work designated by the State outlin-
ed course of study in the following
subjects: Arithmetic, history of our
republic. geography, spelling, English
and physiology. In order to receive
the diploma, passing grades must be
obtained upon at least five of the six
subjects. The pupils will be allowed
to use either pen or pencil in writing
their answers. No papers or books
are to be carried to the examination

COUNTY FAIR
MEETING HERE
NEXT SATURDAY

The Hustler last week carried the
call of John T. Station, chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners,
asking that the people of the county
meet at the court house next Satur-
day at IL o'clock for the purpose of
organizing for fair next fall.
The call requests all classes of peo-
pie to attend, men, women and chill
dren fir it will take team work to
make good fair.
AS to the Importance of q county
fair, something in which Henderson
county is a long ways behind what it
should be, the following from the
Progressive Farmer will be of inter-
est:
There comes a time in the lives of
men and women when they no longer
go to school, using the term school
as it is usually understood. But there
never comes a time in the life of any
person when he or she is too old to
learn.
Fairs in their true sense are
schools" for rural people Of all ages
in other words, an experience
meeting or a common pooling of
knowledge and experience about
farm and home subjects. Therefore
a farmer who attends fair that has
been worked out along right lines
cannot help but be benefited.
AS an educational agent, we be-
ieve the community fair is now rath-
er more effective than the county fair
pz state fair It is true that State
and county fairs may show better
arrangement of exhibits and even
livestock and produce of better quail
ity. But at many of these larger
fairs there is so much to see and the
amusement and recreative features
have been emphasized at the expense
of educational features. The COM
munity fair, on the other hand, has
fewer exhibits; there are no side
shows to distract ones attention ;
and the points of merit and demerit
of each exhibit are explained by the
judges so that the. fair becomes a
thing of real educational worth.
Moreover, farmer who has attend
ed community fair for several years
viii be in a position to get more out
of State and county fair, equipped
as he will be with his knowledge Of
what constitutes quality in exhibits.
Perhaps the greatest defect of
State and county fairs is that as a
rule no explanation is given as to
why awards are made. If a compe-
tent man were placed in every de-
partment to explain the points of ex-
cellence of the prize-winning exhibit
in that department, the benefits
would be almost inestimable.

The county teachers in regular

been planned for fear that many of
the children would be kept out of the
parade on account of smallpox scare,
thereby preventing the excellent
showing that they had hoped to
make.

then closed the more formal session
With ptas "a.
complishment of the task before the
delegates. 81.
Mr.. Schenck then stated that every
penny of expenses for the campaign
in this county had already been "un-
derwritten" by business men of Hen
derson county, and that absolutely
every penny contributed to the Sec
ond war fund would be applied di-
Irectly to war relief. thus meeting in
advance an objection which is some
times made, that the expenses Of such
campaigns consume too large part
Of the funds. After making this point
clear Mr.. Schenck then called upon
all the delegates present, in turn, to
state as we'll as they could the condi-
tions in their respective districts, and
the prospects for success in raising
the amounts allotted to the different
auxiliaries and branches. The re-
sponse was hearty and encouraging
in the extreme, many Of the organi-
cations reporting considerable funds
already available in case of need, and
nearly all stating that in the absence
of unforeseen difficulties their organi-
cations would follow the prevailing
fashion in Henderson county, and go
well over the top with any task that
was set them to aid the boys in
France.
Another meeting will in all prob
ability be called before next Monday,
when the actual work of the cam
paign starts, after which it will be a
case of ego to it," with a practically
sure prospect of showing again that
this section of the U. S. A. is able and
willing to bear full share of this
work; a work that perhaps comes
closer to ones heart than any other

Gown of tobacco brown velveteen, with
slender bodice and gathers at the
hips to give width. The yoke, the
bottom of sleeves, the sash, the
bands at the hips and the bodice
trimming are of blue silk jersey with
white stripe.
AS far as Cabot goes, the evening
skirt is the only one that is pulled
back into hobbling tightness at the
ankles, but all the skirts are so mar
row as they pass the shoetops that
they restrict a long stride.
The gown in the sketch shows all
these aforementioned features; the ma
terial is tobacco brown velveteen, a
color and fabric quite in the public
eye; the width at the hips is pro-
nounced by means of slight gathers
and accentuated by three circular
bands of blue silk jersey with a white
stripe. The bodice is slender as all
self-respecting, fashionable bodices
are, but it also dips back into the past
when it gets to the sleeves, for they
are reminiscent of early and pictur-
esque days. They are tight from arm
hole to elbow, and then have full
pieces of the jersey caught into a
tight, f1aring cuff at the wrist The
yoke, the sash and the bodice trim
ming are also of the jersey.

Italian Headquarters in Venetia.
Nov. 6.-The Hungarian port of
Fiume, southeast of Triest, has been
taken over by the Italians and Ad-
miral Cagni has been named governor.
The occupation of Fiume was similar
to the Italian entrance into Triest.
A citizens committee was formed
at Fiume October 20. The commit
tee signed a declaration of rights and
declared themselves free from Hun
gary expressing a desire to be united
with Italy.
from there they started for Venice in
motor boats. Off Pola they encoun-
tered an Italian destroyer under COM
mand of Commander Ciano. who mis-
took the motor boats for hostile patrol
vessels. However, the motor boats

hibit the quality of indifference, no
matter how great their genius.
A reporter once told the head of the
house of Callot that it would be well
for them to give more publicity to
their creations thru the press, and that
it would bring them popularity. The
answer was that when the Callots de-
sired advertisement, they would buy
the papers and put in the advertise
mentS.
Therefore, knowing the house and
its traditions, it was a foregone con-
clusion to those who watch straws
that the tonneau skirt, or what we
know better as the peg-top skirt,
would get into fashion sooner or later.
1t is here. We no longer like the
straight line. We do not want to be
draped out in panniers, N the AL
gerian manner, but we like that line
that is tight at the ankles and widens
