One f the largest crowds even seen in Hendersonville displaying 1 id indifference to a violent CUim""- . J m thunder -and rain storm Saturday af ternoon, gathered at the station to ay goodbye to forty-five Henderson county boys bound for Camp Jack son. . . . The ttrip to the tram shed was pre ceded by a few minutes of unpreten tious -proceedings in the auditorium of the city hall, where the newly made soldiers gathered to receive kit and filled for them by the Hendersonville Woman's club and the Woman's National League for Service, and to listen with eager ears and Tesponsive hearts to a stirring address no, not an address, just a plain man-to-man talk by Dr. E. E. Bomar, who was enthusiastically ap plauded at every period, and some times at shorter stops, liKe commas and semi-colons. Following the presentation of the kit-bags, every, one of the party was also given a "Smileage Book" to help keep off the blues while in camp, and then the entire party was loaded into cars generously lent by their own ers, and spedily transported to the station. Noble Jordan was appointed leader of the party, and entrusted with the transportation details and the differ ent records and orders for delivery at the camp, and the following were made squad leaders to assist him in keeping track of his party: John E. Melton, Eugene H. Wright, James G. Albea, Earl B. Jackson, John P. Clement, and John W. Pace. Cars to take the boys to the train were lent bv J. D. Duff, J. Mack Rhodes. C.

Then, too, Sylvester Maxwell loaded up one of the big Asheville Hendersonville cars in a way that it has never been loaded before, and took the greater part of the boys for a ride around town before dinner, while C. A. Hobbs just made himself busy the entire day thinking of (and doing) all the things that everybody else had either forgotten or left for some one else to do. All in all. it was some different from that first time or two when Henderson county and Hendersonville let her boys leave for camp as if they had been hired soldiers. Some different.

Henderson county will have its first opportunity of witnessing the Austra lian ballot system, on Saturday, June 1 when therprimary election will be held for various offices. There will be no congressional con test this year due. to the fact that the democrats have already selected Zeb uleon Weaver as their nominee, while on the other hand, the republicans have selected James . Britt as their nominee. The same is true in the solicitor's ; campaign also. The democrats declar ed Michael Schenck nominee by de fault. The republicans nominated Fred Hamrick. The republicans will have no pri- mary election for judge of Superior court -as "they have nominated Judge O. V. F. Blythe. The democrats have three men -aspiring for this office : Welch Galloway, Judge M. H. Justice, and J. Bis Ray. A primary election will have to decide the issue between these men. For the State seriate of the Thirty second district the following men are aspirants: James C. Fisher, D. Z. Newton, and E. B. Cloud. Those running for the office of reg ister of deeds of Henderson county are: D. E. Stepp and A. O. Jones. Mr. Jones was nominated by his party and it was thought for a while that he would be the only man running for this place until Mr. Stepp announced his candidacy thereby causing a pn mary election to be held. oOther nominees not before the primary are: For representative in the legisla ture, Brownlow Jackson; constitu tional convention, A. B. Freeman; clerk of court, C. M. Pace ; sheriff, Al lard Case; tax collector and treasur er, W. F. Brown; surveyor, Henry Revis ; coroner, Dr. T. W. Summer ; county commissioners, Sidney J. Whitaker, John N. Russell and John Albert Maxwell. Tickets 6x11 inches have been prepared for the primary. ANOTHER DRAFT REGISTRA- -TION FOR THOSE 21 YEARS OLD SINCE JUNE 5, 1917. Washington, May 20.

"In case of meat and meat prod ucts the necessities for shipment abroad are very great. Whereas, the allied consumption has been reduced to an average of about one and one quarter pounds per person per week, we are today enjoying an average of about three and one-quarter pounds per person per week. This division is inequitable. An understanding of these facts will justify our request that the consumption of all meats, in cluding poultry, as nearly as possible, be reduced to two pounds per week per person over four years of age. "In the case of susrar we are em barrassed by the necessity of using ships for carrying our soldiers and feeding the allies and in consequence we must use sugar with great econ omy. We must emphasize the impor tance of canning and preserving on a large scale among our people this summer and our available sugar must be conserved for this purpose. Go Slow on Wheat. "But the situation with rp card tr wheat is the most serious in the food supply of the allied world. If we are to satisfy the minimum wheat re quirements of our armies and the al- iv nd tne suffenng millions in the allied countries, our consumption of wheat in the United States until the next harvest must be reduced to ap proximately one-third of normal. It is inconceivable that we should faO m this crisis. For each of us who can personally contribute to the re lief of human suffering it is a privi lege, not a sacrifice. All elements of our population cannot -bear this bur tl. tally those engaged in phys ical labor need a larger bread ration than those m sedentary occupations. Because of the constant daily employ ment of women and the lack of home bakmp- fn;iif;o i , , ; . 0 -wuuco uiAiiy nousenoias in large urban centers require a food Those who intend to list their taxes for the month of May had better do so at once as there are only two more days left in which to see about this matter. The tax listers of Hender sonville township have been at the court house every week day through out this month. Those failing to comply with the law will have to pay a 25 per cent ex cess tax. It would be advisable to see about this matter at once. SUPERIOR COURT ADJOURNS AFTER ONE DAY'S SESSION. Superior court, which was to con vene here for two weeks, starting Monday," has been called off by the presiding officer, Judge M. H. Justice, due to the fact that there is a great shortage of labor on the farms and the jurors need every minute to de vote to their farms at this critical time of the year. The court was busy Monday with matters requiring no jurors or witnesses. $440,071,000 will be spent for additions and betterments, Horse Sshoe auxiliary 300.00 luxedo auxiliary 300.00 Naples auxiliary 45.50 Fassif ern Jr. auxiliary 20.15 Mills River auxiliary 48.00 such as stations and other property improvements; $479,686,000 for equipment cars and locomotives al readv ordered through the railroad administration, and $18,203,000 for track extensions.

"To meet the situation abroad and to prevent serious suffering at home it is imperative that all those whose circumstances permit shall abain from wheat and wheat products in any form until the next harvest. It is realized and deeply appreciated that many organizations and some communities have already agreed to follow this plan. "It is hoped that you will commu nicate this to your organization and your community, urging those whose circumstances will permit to join with us and take this stand." Her bert Hoover. The monthly Red Cross meeting of the Hendersonville chapter will be held on next Monday at 4:30 at the city hall. The tank corps, being strictly a motorized fighting unit, requires a personnel largely composed of arti zans or technically trained men, sup ported by a substantial number of soldiers. Skilled men entering this service are given occupational classi fications, which, while recommenda tory only, and subject to revision by the commanding officer, are carefully considered m the assignment to ac tive duty. All who enter the tank corps from civil occupations must do so in the grade of "private." Early promotion to the highest non-comm-missioned grade is open to those who can qualify therefor. From the non commissioned personnel a consider able number, of appointments as sec ond' lieutenants will be made. No commissions will be made in the tank corps from civil life. The tank corps concentration camp is located at Gettysburg, Pa. (Camp Colt), where a short period of pre liminary training is given prior to as signment to an overseas training camp, and subsequent service.
