The best men in " every community hare invariably been church goers. Those who stay away are weaklings. The leaders in this country go to church. Your employers goes to church, why don't " you? The streets of Gastonia are lined every Sunday with young men and boys who do not go to church. A "Go to Church" movement in Gas tonia would be an excellent idea. ' Mr. -Miles A. Carpenter, treasurer of the Gaston Loan Trust Co., was standing on his corner yesterday. A placid smile of contentment rested on his countenance. He was watch ing the men engaged in overhauling and remodeling; the interior of the bank building. The reporter am : bled up to him and remarked in an , off-hand way, "I see the Charlotte banks are bragging right now about the fact that they haven't any money borrowed; what about your bank?" And here is what be replied: "Why, we haven't had a cent of borrowed money in twenty-one months." Which goes to show that Gastonia has some money as well as a few -ether things. . - The folks in Gaston county are ,a to the situation of the day," parked s Gaston countain Wednes day night. He continued: "The : people here not only know that bridges, etc., are needed, but just aa a side-line tbey can tell you when it's time to hunt 'possums." When asked about the time of year the 'possum hunters enjoyed themselves ' the most he said that about this time of the year when the nights get ' a little cooler and the leaves begin to turn yellow, why it was about time to uncollar the old hound, trim U C s. 1 .

Several Gastonians motored out in the woods Wednes day night and spent several hours looking for the festive 'possum. The weather was Just about brisk enough, and with the moon shining they had a very enjoyable time. "I see the lights over'at the depot are burning once in a while now," re marked a Gastonlan yesterday. "But I dcn't think the lights are burned very much. They are kinder afraid something will happen if the lights burn very much." A freight train all but killed two mules Saturday night at the corner of the Southern passenger station. Had there been some lights burning this would not hate happened and the railroad would be minus a law suit. v "By expending a few cents a month," asserted one of Gastonia's business men yesterday, "such acci dents might be averted and the peo ple who are forced to spend a hour or two waiting on a delayed train, as they usually are, would be great ly convenience. Some action ought to be taken by the city fathers in order to have that place properly lighted. That they have stood for it this long has been a wonder to me".

An Average of Only One In Twenty Enjoys Whole-Health. .,, "Only one in twenty persons," says the State Board of Health," en joys whole-health; the rest live on in a state of semi-health, not sick enough to go to bed nor well enough to engage in their work with zest and enjoyment. Those who half live from the standpoint of health, half-live many other view points. For instance, a man who lives only half well is only half efficient. He is capable of using only half of his mental and physical powers and therefore he is only half productive. "People live in a state of semi health mainly for two reasons: First because they don't know the pleas ure of good health nor do tbey ap preciate its value in life. They have gotten into the habit of enjoying poor health and really want nothing better. Second, they live in a state of semi-health on account of their indiscreet modes of living. They4 usually over-indulge at the dinner table, leave off physical exercise, lose sleep and get insufficient rest, fresh air and sunshine. In other words, they don't order the affairs of the day toward an efficient and healthful life. Good health must be ordered at every meal and cultivat ed in every daily habit in order to be enjoyed and mean most to life." The Chinese Bluffer. General T. H. Berry said on the reviewing stand during Chicago's preparedness parade: "A nation unprepared must bluff, and it isn't every nation that can bluff like the Chinese jackass. "The Chinese tell a story, you know, about a tiger that was led by a monkey to a Held where a fat jack ass was grazing. "The tiger, who had never seen a jackass before, licked his chops: but the jackass looked up languidly at the monkey and said: " 'Friend monkey, heretorfore you have always brought me two tigers. How is it you bring me only one to day?" "The bluff was so excellent that the tiger made off as fast as he could go." Chicago Tribune. Problems. New York Globe. Just how to cook an artichoke The modern cookbooks tell, And how to cook the German carp And eke the mushroom fell; Preparing Saratoga chips Is taught, and currant pie No doubt some people do these things. But why? To change a barrel to a chair. Make baskets Jot pa's hats. And curtains out of overalls And trim them with cravats. To make the scraps and strings and glue Junk one would never buy, Some people toil from dawn to dark. But why? Plain rules for men's efficiency In all their daily work. The art of making moments count For manager or clerk. And how to save one-half our time. The experts show, or try. Well, time some folks may like to save. But why?

Country' Service Crippled on Ac count of Men's Weak Bodies. That better bodies is one of the country's greatest needs Is evident from the large per cent of rejections made recently in the American army on account of physical unfitness or defects. An exchange says that at least 80 per cent of all who present themselves for enlistment are found physically unfit, some of the de fects being narrow chests, flat feet, poor teeth, heart trouble, weak eyes, defective kidneys, under weight, and stomachs that are in no condition to 'master army fare. "From this, it seems." says the State Board of Health, "that the old injunction 'to crucify the flesh' has been taken too literally In America with the result that much of our manhood when tested is found un fit for the country's service. Too little attention has evidently been given the body and the body a needs. In fact, the body has not had due consideration while the appetites and other pleasures have been in dulged at the expense of the body's welfare. The candle of life has been allowed to burn at both ends with wrecked bodies and inefficient service for their country as a re sult." Freight Trains Collide. A head-on collision between two freight trains on the Carolina' A Northwestern Railway which occured early Tuesday morning resulted In the death of Henry Winkler, head brakeman. and serious injuries to Engineer Avery Bass and F. E. Land, a fireman. The collision took place about four miles north of Hickory, and is supposed to have been due to the fact that the southbound train was due to have reached Hickory before the northbound train left there. If you are tired of the every-day kind of amusement, a day or night on the Midway of the Gaston County Fair will be thoroughly refreshing. Trade With Gazette Advertisers.
