COUNTY FAIR
ORGANIZATIONS
NEXT SATURDAY
Committee Named TO Formulate
Plans for Organizing County Fair
Next Saturday; Call Of the Com
mittee.

The meeting called by the county
commissioners to consider the matter
of county fair for Henderson coun-
ty, met at IL o'clock Saturday IN the
court house and the matter was dis
zcussed. at. length by very enthusi-
astic gathering of farmers from all
sections of the county. The purpose
of the meeting was explained at
length by Mr.fW. A., Smith, who took
a prominent part in boosting former
fairs held in this county. It was
unanimously decided that a fair be
held in the county this year. The
date and place of holding the fair
will be decided later by the governing
body to be chosen next Saturday.
The meeting adjourned after ap-
pointing committee for the purpose
of going into the matter of getting
a good organization, recommending
a president, and endeavoring to get
good representatives from all the
school districts to attend the meeting
Saturday, the 25th, at II o'clock in
order that good live organization
may be perfected. It is urged upon
all who are interested in having Hen

houses have given the Red Cross
workers not only a free hand in the
use of floor and window space, but,
as shown by the pages of this weeks
local papers, they have, without SIN
gle exception, met every request Tor
the underwriting" of advertising
space for the campaign; in other
words, they have paid for every inch
of advertising space wanted, and
given it to the Red Cross. The pa
pers themselves have simply told
the committee that any newspaper
service the Red Gross wanted the Red
Cross could have, if the shop could
product it. ~
Several large subscriptions have
already been made, and every gift
whether of money or of service, has
been given gladly and with . spoken
or unspoken "God Bless the Bed
Cross"
1t was not thought wise by the
campaign committee to attempt a
Darade in aid of the drive, as many
towns have done, because at present
Hendersonville is not very well fitted
out for an effective demonstration Of
this kind, there being no band here at
present, and no uniformed troops
and few uniformed organizations of
any kind available. 1t was therefore
decided that more effective plan
was embodied in widespread adver-
tising and an energetic drive for sub
scriptions all over the county. =

The Red Cross drive is in full
swing in the town and county, and
even as early as Tuesday of this
week (the second working day of the
drive) reports had come in to Cam
paign Chairman Michael Schenck
which seem to show beyond all doubt
that every section of Henderson
county is going over the top with a
rush. For instance, the full amount
Of Tuxedo's allotment has been guar
anteed fright off the bat" with a
further promise that if more is need

DOUBLED her entire allotment on the

The accompanying illustration
shows the two 24-passenger REQ cars
of the HendersonviIle-A In
terurban company which have revo-
lutionized the transportation situa-
ton in this community.
In by-gone days-that age when
people wrote about the possibilities of
the automobile, which was then not a
practical means of transportation,
drealmers dreamed of more conven-
lent method of transportation in
Western North Carolina than the
Southern railway could afford. They
talked interurban street car lines.
:Fhs iaterarban cars came but in the
fol6 Sc suto tonobiles.
The experiment was made last year
for the first time in this section. This
mode of transportation between Hen
dersonville and Asheville was under
taken by different capital this sum
mer. The experimental age has
passed. There is no doubt about the
practicability of the large cars. The
business thus far for this season has
been complete solution of the prob
lem. 8
The newly organized company has
had two large cars and smaller ones
in operation for a month or more.

Asheville with Is passengers. On
Sunday afternoon one car carried AZ
persons into Asheville. This is only
an index to the serviceableness of
this new mode of transportation be-
tween Hendersonville and Asheyille.
It is confidently predicted that the
business during the summer season
will be something enormous.
The interurban passenger service
between Hendersonville and Ashe-
vile is no more a vexing problem.
The Southern railway will continue
to carry back and forth its loads and
the interurban company will be the.
means of affording more conven-
lent schedule than the Southern could
be expected to inaugurate.
The large cars afford a pleasant
ride and the good roads make the trip
safe and one of short duration, one
with comfort added, for the cars are
what one usually terms "easy riding. I"

The business has been all that could
have been expected. 1t has been en-
tirely satisfactory to the promoters.
Their fondest dreams have become
realities and now they are dreaming
of bigger things-interurban passen-
ger service between Hendersonville
and Chimney Rock and Bat Cave and
between Hendersonville and Green

The cars are at present making
three trips daily each way between

the .24-passenger cars will not accom-
modate the traffic, seven-passenger
cars are pressed into service. The
big cars are playing an important
part in the transportation of labor
ers between Asheville and Azalea,
where the government is erecting a
large hospital for war purposes.

TAX OODGER BEWARE

Income tax slackers in South Da-
kota will be located by a picked force
of income tax inspectors, sent out by
the collector Of internal revenue for
this district.
Fraudulent statements made in in
come tax statements, underestimates
CT incomes, failure to return a state
ment when the person is liable to the
tax and failure to comply with the
law in any way, will be investigated
by the inspectors wherever it appears
that a violation has been made.
All income tax statements should
have been in the hands Of the revenue
department by April /, and the tax
paid by June Is. The inspectors will
be concerned more with the income
tax statement than with the payment
of the tax after the statement has
been made, for the reason that after
a correct statement is made to the de-
partment, very little trouble in collect
ing the tax has been encountered. 1t
is the incorrect and misleading re-
turns that will receive the attention
of the inspectors.
Numerous warnings have been sent
out by the revenue department, point.
ing out to the people that it was nee
essary under the law to return their
statement correct in every detail, and
that if this had not been done in the
first place, it should be corrected al
once. Revenue men have taken great
pains to see that they gave all the aid
possible to people in making out their
taxes. 1t is now thought that where
a statement is incorrect, the mistake
or neglect has been willful and should
be punished.

DISCHARGED BY SICKNESS

The many friends of the Robt. Hen.
ny family of Volga will be interested
in the following account, taken from
the Volga Tribune, of the return Of
Lloyd Henry from the hospital at JEFF
ferson Barracks:
Robert Henry returned Monday
evening with his son, Lloyd, who has
been at the barracks hospital for sew
eral months. While Lloyd is very
thin and weak, he stood the journey
well and 1t is hoped that the cool,
healthful air of this section will have
IA very beneficial effect on him. Lloyd
Is one Of our boys who left here short
ly after the drive In March to give
his services to his country. He was
taken i'll at jefferson Barracks with
pneumonia and later underwent an Op'
Grafton and later had an attack OF
diphtheria. Mr.. Henry states that
some time ago, there were many for
malities to go through before the of
ficers would let Lloyd leave and they
wished to be assured that he would
have good care both on the way home
and after he arrived. Arrangements
were made for dressing his wound at
Waseca, where a change Of cars was
made. One of the surgeons at the
barracks was very kind to Mr.. Henry,
giving him every possible attention
and entertained him at his home at
st. Louis over night.

who had more pursuits than any 9TH

given as carrying on lines of
business. He is now engaged in SELL

is used in connection with a series
of blue prints which he has prepared

Next to the aggregate number OF
subscribers, perhaps the most striking
feature of the Third Liberty loan was
the support given it by the farming
and rural population of the country.
Not only did the farmers purchase lib
orally of the bonds, but the rural COM
munities as a rule were more prompt
in completing their quotas of the loan
than the larger cities. More than 20
coo communities in the United States
subscribed or oversubscribed their
quotas, many Of them on the first day
of the campaign. The majority Of
these were o cities, but country dis

And birds begin to sing.

And water turn to wine.
