About eight million American women are helping the men finance the families .

A CHORAL SOCIETY. -Gnfitonia has enouuli musical talent to in sure a choral sooiciyoi .m oi -iu toiccm. Why tbo movement for the formation of such an organization has never been launched wc fail to understand. Per - haps we don't know enough about mil sic. .T'ldtring. liowtver. from the music that th ircb clioVs can produce, a ' combina. - of 1 Iii-iii al loiigtit to pro duce a choral society that would be cap able of giving Gastonia some firstclass oratorios and concerts. We are remind- pdto say this at tlii stinie, first, because H has been I time and again in the city, ami everybody thinks we ought to have a choral society; i-ocond, we note, from The Raleigh Times that a reor ganization of the lialeigh Choral Socio ty has lieen effected and third, because with the coining of Community Service and the community sings proposed for Gastonia, the way will naturally be open ed for such an organisation. Fifty singers attended ?!;. reorganiza tion meeting in Raleigh, dech' to moot oi"t a week, to raise the inei ship to lot', Hiid to co-operate with ti.. 1 omiiiti nit y Players in community sings and the like. The Times, Fpeuking of the pro ject, says: "'There i.s music in the air.' And not only tmisw-, but jr""d fellowship. There never was a time so auspicious for bringing the people of Wake and Ral eigh into closer harmony. The one thing to be guarded against is talking them tired once they have been brought together, and the Community Players, Choral Society and the promoters of the community sing'- given complete as contemplate nothing f Gaston county is fast becoming a i county of fine, cattls. Yesterday there. was chronicled in this paper the notice, ! of the purchase by Mr. Tom Sparrow, of the Cnion section, of two due Jersey cows from the Reynolds farm at Winston Salem. We understand that these two: Jerseys represent u line that comes direct from Jersey Island, and are of the finest breed in America. When our folks liegin t'i turn their attention to matters like' this, I.Vceul cotton is not going to bother tlirln linn h. GOVERNOR HARDING. Judging from the acceptances that are being received to the invitations sent out, tli bankers and business men of this sec tion are anxious to hear Gov. W. P. G. Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, here Thursday afternoon. Gastonia through its Chamber of Commerce, has scored in souring Gov. Harding for this adrdes. The city must put its best foot foremost tomorrow in honor of the dist ingulslied guest. 1 I TTx .it-. . ; of vet values duo to these with it all. we have And thing a ni(dest girl won't reveal is her natural face. We doubt if it is possible for any man to get as mad as Sir Edward Carson's portrait looks. There are S,!72 idiotic sayings, includ ing the one that a spry (del gentleman is ' ' 70 years youn. ' ' It is miicb easier to turn the other cheek when you know the gentleman could lick vou in anv case. A searchlight reveals the beauties of the night, and h search-warrant the loea tion of the moonshine. The rural districts get the new siyle fresh from the movies, but they remain sadly behind in their slang. There are two kinds of perfect bus bands: the one a young girl dreams about, and the one a widow mourns. ca uses not kept paie with industry ami growing populat i mi . Today, for want of room, muiiy of the children of our city are getting only three hours of school each day. This is not right, and I for one, ;nn willing to pay more taxes if it is necessary to liaic better facilities. 1 fully realize thai taxes are high and I, as W'i'll as others, have been disposed to kick. The fact is, that conditions pre vailing .luring the past few y.-ars hae made kiekeis of us all.

Every thing lias advaiaed and materials and servbe is just as expensive to the county and city :.s to iodiv i.lua !. au l it was necessary to laise the tax rate in ol der to meet it. rime was. since I haw lived ill Gastonia when there were plin'y of school teachers to be had t'or slo.iiu per month.

''Wiith the community sings once a month for everylMidv , the Choral Society once a week for ils membership and friends, the Community Players staging a play once or twice a year, the people of Raleigh will have entered upon n more definite and ptoioisii.g program of commuiiit,y endeavi.: . -.uy people hereabouts. " The past three weeks of Community Service programs have indicated that our s-ople are willing ;Uid anxious to join efforts in affording harmless and helpful lecreatioa and amusement for the com niuuity good.

UTTERS WARNING AGAINST TOO HASTY ACTION. To the Editor of The (iazette: Much has been said recently with refer eiue to high taxes and the eeonoin ion ' handling of the public funds, nnd I should like to submit, through the vol minis of your paper, a few observations that have come to me. I was born and reared ou a farm and am familiar with, and in sympathy with the problems of the farmer. Like the rest of us, he has plenty of them. East year, I paid about live to six times as much taxes as I ever did before, and I do not believe that I am nny more aide to pay excessive taxes than any one else, hut I am not willing, in order to have my taxes reduced, to have the hands of time turned backward for a period of L'.l years, ami take with tin low rtnte of taxation existing at that time, the other conditions that prevailed, such as low- property values; poor roads and streets; poor educational and relig ious advantages and others that I might nienMon. I believe that I am in tie bounds of reason and truth when I say that every foot of ground in Gaston county has. within the past -o years, enhanced in value from 1 1 M i to llo'lli p-r cent or more, and why. Because of the the 2Z Eat food that will work, for you GrapeIuts a of sin;;ing and less progressive, public spirited men of county who have ihit been afraid to be Out whore a fresher breeze is blowing.
