Officers Guests of Honor at Community Banquet Last Night Attended by Representative Citizenship of City. With the declaration that he would come to Hendersonville the second Wednesday in May and bring his en tire executive council for the pur pose of selecting and locating a site somewhere in this mountain country for the proposed million-dollar Sana torium, Sovereign Commander W. A. Frasv-r. Woodmen of the World, de livered last night at the Kentucky Home hotel the key-note message of one of the most enthusiastic meet-, ings ever held in this. city. Sovereign Commander Fraser's address was the climax of the com munity banquet given in honor of him and of his committee of sover eign officers, and attended by ap proximately 150 of the leading business and professional men of Hendersonville. Mr. Fraser explain ed that he and his party orignally intended visiting Hendersonville . to view sites for the proposed rest hos pital, but that the excessive wet weather and sickness in his party had caused them to postpone any further examination of sites until May, at which time they would make Hender BASEBALL QUESTION j TO BE CONSIDERED ! SHALL HENDERSONVILLE HAVE ORGANIZED BASEBALL 3Iass 3Ieetinur Will be Called Next Week to Decide Whether this City SIkiII Have Leamte Ball Hendersonville citizens will be given the chance during the next few days to decide whether they want organized baseball again next summer under the western North Carolina baseball league, stated Homer Moyer, manager of last year's team and man ager of the proposed team for this year, Wednesday. A meeting will be called, the date to be announced later. Mr. Moyer had just returned from Asheville where he attended a meet ing of baseball representatives from Asheville, Brevard and Canton clubs, who affected a temporary organiza tion of the western North Carolina baseball league and reached many im portant decisions regarding the league during the coming season. At this meeting is was decided to seek admittance ,to the organized "baseball world as a fullfledged Class D league, a special committee being appointed to give the matter atten tion. Manager Moyer has plans for a Hendersonville club for the coming season, and expressed hope that the lovers of the sport would help "put over" these plans that this city mav next summer have high class baseball, t "We can get league baseball for Hen dersonville if we want it," he said, "but We do r.c want to thrust it. on the people ot this city." There is a strong sentiment for it, he declared, but the mass meeting to be called next week will decide definitely whether there will be organized base ball here, and whether Hendesonville will be a member of the western North Carolina league. "Oteen and Waynesville," Mr Moyer stated, "are watching for a chance to get a berth in this league and would be glad of the opportunity to get Hendersonville's charter. Lenoir an l Marion are also knocking at the door, and will be given a hearing at a meet ing of the league representatives called for next Tuesday night." It was Mr. Mover's opinion til at Hendersonville can support a league much better than some of these towns are janle to, especially in light' of the fact that the attendance at the games here last summer was better than it was, proportionately, at any of the other towns in the league, and that without much advertisement. Mnager Moyer has already lined upa many of last year's performers, and t has the contracts in his pocket. Among these are Shuford, now at Christ's school; Byers, at Blue Ridge: E. Carter, former Furman University star; Lance, 'Varsity coach at Fur--man; Bennie Smith, at Blue Ridge; Smut Smith, at Charlotte; and Dur ham of this city. New players who will be here in clude Bert Williams and J. N. Mal lonee, members of last year's Camden, C, team, which played Columbia, Charleston and other Sallee league teams, and which was conceded to be - the fastest independent team in the state. Wilson is a second baseman and Mallonee a utility man. Contracts have also been made with Carlisle Benson, former University of Georgia star pitcher, and Doty Phillips, present star athlete and infielder at Erskine College. Manager Moyer is confident that with these and others he is corresponding with, a pennant winning team will be whipped into shape. "And," he said, "I want Hen dersonville to have this team, but if , y they don't want us, we will go to 7 other towns which are urging us to come along." sonville their headquarters. The Sovereign Commander and his par ty expressed delight at the cordial reception tendered them by the peo ple of Hendersonville. The get-together meeting was pre sided over by John T. Wilkins, Past Consul in the local order, the White Vine. Camp, Woodmen of the World. With appropriate lemarks and a keen sense of humor he called to the floor Sovereign Clerk John T. Yates, General Attorney D. E. Bradshaw, State Manager and Sovereign Audit tor E. B. Lewis, the visiting gentle men, and Dr. W. R. Kirk and Sheriff V. E. Grant of the city, all of whom preceded the principal speaker. In terspersed with these was a most at tractive musical program conducted by A. W. Iloneycutt. The entire program took place while the guests were seated at the dining tables. A detailed report of these speech es and the various phases of the meeting cannot appear in this issue of The News, on account of its crippled mechanical condition, but will be given in the Tuesday's issue. MILITARY UNIT UNDER FORMATION YOUSO MEN OROANIZING FIELD ARTILLERY BATTERY Unit in National Guard Is in Process of Organization By Young1 Men of City. (By Thomas J. Hyder) A battery of the 117th Field Artil lery of the National Guard is about to be organized in this city, it has been announced by leaders of the move ment who have made application to the government and are enlisting men. Many of the young men are so anxioxis to get in uniform, it is said, that they have already purchased suits, not waiting until the government issues them complete uniform. It is under stood that over half of the required number for organization have already enlisted, although these have not been given examinations. Members of the proposed battery are planning to have one of the best baseball teams in this section, and to have contests in boxing, wrestling and other athletics, and later to de velop a first-class football teams. General Metts, who made an address last Thursday night to those interest ed in this movement, said the boys would be able to enjoy fishing, boat ing and swimming at Fayetteville, where the battery will attend a two weeks' encampment this summer. All expenses on this trip will be paid by the government, and each man will be pai for his time at the rate of regu lar army pay, according to rank. Pay will also be received for each drill night once each week, not less than 4S or more than 60 drill nights a year. In financing this movement the gov ernment proposes to give its citizens an idea of actual military training ,to promote better manhood, making for patriotic Americans, and at the same time to maintain a well-equipped and well-trained reserve force for emer gencies. The business men of the town have been requested to assist the government in this patriotic un dertaking by permitting their em ployees to attend the weekly drills and make arrangements for the:n to go with the battery to encampment. In the proposed battery there will be the following officers: one captain, two first lieutenants, one second lieu tenant, a first sergeant, a staff ser geant, five other sergeants and seven corporals. Others of the men will be rated as cannoneers, chauffeurs, me chanics, motor-cyclists, etc. For these positions those men scoring highest in the following points will be select ed: efficiency, temperament, and by preference of the men of the battery. No officers nor non-commiss;oned of ficers will be made until all have had a chance to show qualifications. For the sake of organization, however. I have been made a temporary captain in the ll7th Field Artillery, and will take the examinations along wTith the other officers. Those who have already enlisted are requested to watch the newspa pers for information in regard to meetings, examinations, orders, etc. Enlisting headquarters are at the American Legion hall, which will be open every night until Saturday, March 11.

At no distant future it seems proba ble that contracts will be let for the paving of the Henderson countv ! stretch of the Asheville-Henderson-ville highway, according to reports recently given out by the county au thorities.

There was a liberal sprinkling of fathers among the parents assembled, who, it was declared, gave an added encouragement to leaders of the as sociation, whose meetings were here tofore attended principally by the mothers. Practically the entire body of teachers in the grammar and high schools of the city, about thirty strong, were present. Several inter ested citizens, not parents or teach ers were also in attendance.

The free seeds sent The News by Congressman Zebulcn Weaver were in great demand and lasted for only a few days after the information went out in The News that they were for general distribution. Many callers could not be supplied. ' RAWnilET TED BIG SUCCESS! AuMuHvw; i NATIONAL EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE BRIEFLY TOLD Principal Topics of Interest Through out Nation In Condensed Form. The Roma, largest semi-rigid air craft in the world, made a careening swoop down from the clouds. She shuddered as her huge bag came into contact with high-voltage electric wires 200 feet from the earth. Then there was a deafening roar and a tow ering sheet of flame. The giant turn ed turle and, keel in the air, crashed to earth at Norfolk, Va., Thirty-four of her human cargo army officers and a few civilians were thrown in to or about the blazing wreck and perished. Eleven others, some of them terribly injured, survived. Of the survivors three were not hurt. Such is the story of the greatest dis aster in the history of the American army air service. As in the case of the fatal explosion of the ZR-2 over Hull englan, last August, the airship was one purchased from a foreign govern ment by the United States. The ZR-2 was purchased by the navy from Great Britain. The Roma was sold to the army by Italy. Milton Drury, former cotton mill j worker, of Winona, Miss., a son of i Mrs. Ada Drury Converse, whose par S tially burned body was found near j Hazlehurst, about ten days ago, is being sought by Sheriff H. E. Ramsey, of Copiah county, for questioning in connection with the crime. With the arrival of four companies of Rhode Island coast artillery at Paw tucket, following the most serious riot ing of the New England cotton mill strike, the city was very quiet. Chief of Police Talbert arrested a man at Concord, N. C, suspected of being Edward F. Sands, who is wait ed in connection with the willing of William Desmond Taylor, the movie director, in California. Judge Morris, in the United States district court, Wilmington, Del., recent ly granted a dismissal of the com plaint, with costs to the petitioners. ,for a receiver for the Columbia Grapa- ophone Manufacturing company. The wife of Rev. Thomas N. Denny, Jr., aged S3, dean of New Orleans Col lege, Delaware, Ohio, has preferred charges against him for non-support. He disappeared last July, and she thought he had suicided. When she found he was alive, she filed charges of non-supporf-against him. The Nebraska beard of education has decided that instructors in any of the Nebraska normal colleges here after will be refused leaves of absence to study or attend the Universities of Columbia, Chicago and Northwestern, "because it has been shown that stu dents at these institutions smoke ciga rettes, especially the women." Supreme Court Justice Mullan of New York denied application of Edith Kelly Gould for an order vacating the divorce decree obtained in Paris some time since by Frank J. Gould. The court set forth that the action had not been brought in good faith by the ac tress and that "the limit of her hope is to coerce the defendant." Fifi Potter Stillman, father of Mrs. Stillman, who has been in the lime light for some time, died in the sub urbs of Richmond, where he had re cently gone from New York. The Nashville, Tenn., electric light plant was recently gutted by fire, with i an approximate loss of one hundred thousand dollars. Lieut. Clifford E. Smythe of Chicago wrote his father after the first trial trip of thfc Roma in Washington, that it wctfi be criminal to attempt to fly the dirigible unless some improve luents jvere made "on tie vessel. (Continued on page 10) LOCAL MERCHANTS BAD SPELLERS, SAY CONTESTANTS P. L. WRIGHT AM) MISS ISABELLE RICHARDS WIX Numerous Contestants in Advertising Spelling Hatch Try For Prizes. The "Do You Know Your Home Merchants?" contest staged by The News for the last two weeks developed into something altogether unforeseen by the management of the latter, which barely managed to null through withfcut the employment of additional office hel; to read the incoming let ters and to answer the telephone. Whether all ot these many peoplA answering the advertisement puzzle did so from a desire of getting a sub scription to The News in an easy and pa::nless way, or whether they needed the $5.00 in order to first subscribe to The News and spend the balance on tickets to "Ail A Mistake," is a matter of conjecture. Suffice it to state that at least one prominent busi ness man of this town who shall be nameless for the present spent the better part of an evening after the na per came out, with a cony of Web ster's unabridged in one hand, and a late edition of the Encyclopedia Brit tanica in the other, trving to arrive at the correct version of the misspell ed words and thus become enabled to renew his subscription at the very least. Finally, after calbng in a "First Reader" and consulting with the ladv of the house, the seemingly impossi ble was achieved, and it was then when the r-hone operators were kept busy. Unfortunately, phone messages proved to be ineffective, according to the rules laid down by the contest edi tor, and so P. L. Wright, who is the fortunate winner of tip's week's con test, for the first Ume ?n his life, ac cording to good authoritv, had to get up before breakfast and deliver his letter at The News office. Of course, . this being a time when respectable editors are still at the breakfast table, the doors were locked, and so the letter had to be pushed under the door, the first answer received. Here it is: February 28, 1922. Contest Editor, The News, City. When Mitchell advertises his "guar- anteed's" no good, While Rigby-Morrow stumbles on "Hendersonville" the word. Allison and Pace fail to please us with their "pleaze," And Chas. Rozzelle, the Furniture Man, fell in a "hole" indeed. The Live Wire Agency may be O. K. But it can't well "afford" to spell words that way. Foster, with his grocery that's quite up-to-date, Offends when he tries to appeal to our "taiste." "Witchita's" Best in our bread so fine Should certainly make the H'ville Wholesale Co. shine. Stoke's tops will satisfy, and so will his trim, That even his "naighbor" will get one from him. While "Hendersonville" in The News adv., you'll agree. Got cheated of an "L" on the square, don't you see. Miss Isabel le Richard's letter was awarded second place. Here' is her answer: February 28, 1922. Contest Editor, Hendersoville News, ..City. Dear Sir: In reply to your contest in the copy of The News dated Feb ruary 2H, I wish to state that I have found the following misspelled words: First was the word "guaranteed" in the ad of Mitchell's Battery and,Tire Service. In Itigby-Morrow's adArer tisement the word "Hendersonville" was incorrectly spelled. "Whole" was misspelled in Chas. Rozzelle's ad, while Mr. Foster matched this up with the word "taste." Hendersonville Wholesale Company did "Wichita's" flour a great injustice by spelling it "Witchita." Not even the Henderson ville Real Estate Company can afford to spell "afford" wrong. In getting an auto top for his neighbor, Stokes' Au to Top and Trim Shop butchered up the word "neighbor." And as for calling Hendersonville "vile," why none other could be excusable than the Hendersonville News, our dear paper. Yours truly, (Miss) Isabelle Richards. P. S. Last, but not least, was the misspelled word in Allison and Pace's ad the word "please." This feature of The News has proven not only popular, but the ad vertisers generally are made to feel that it was worth while and that an ad in The News is worth two on the fence. The News wishes to congratu late the many participants in the in terest shown. At a future date an other contest will be staged in which other prizes may be won. By no means all of the answers received in last week's contest .were correct, and some insisted that "Foster" spelled his name wrong, while others insisted that "speciality" was correct, and still others called attention to typographi cal errors elsewhere in the paper that had slipped up on the proofreader. 4
