Billy Sunday's prayers, which combine devotion, religion and com ment upon the happenings of the day are also brimming full of patriotism The following extracts from one of his prayers this week in New York City are indicative of his unswerving loyalty to America: "Thank you, Jesus, for wnat you are doing; thank you, too Father and your Holy Spirit. Good Lord! If we had to work as hard to get recruits for the army of the Nation as we Uw to get recruits for the Church, where would we be. "God. I read in the papers today where a judge named Rosaisky sent a fellow to jail for six months ror distributing literature advising men not to enlist. I'm glad you ve given us judges like Rosaisky, Lord. Make us forget, Jesus, that we're black and white, rich and poor, Catholic, Protestant and Jew, or whether we were born here or elsewhere. Make us remember that we're all Amen cans, pledged to go out and fight to the last ditch for our nag." The New York papers tell how his prayer at this point was interrupted for several minutes by a thunderous burst of applause. , THE WOXDER CITY. Two Gastonians Employed In the Big Ju Pont Plant Give Some Interest lug Facts About Hopewell Men to Have Badges Showing They Are in Service of I ncle bam. Editor Gazette: We are both from Gaston county and both proud to own it and nor. ashamed to say we are behind tne President. At the present time we are in Hopewell, Va., the "Wonder City." Hopewell is a quick-moving town, larger than Kings Mountain, and most people know we were burn ed to ashes about two years ago and have rebuilt to a real city in this short period. The cause of the rapid growth or mis piace is tne uuront plant, we prepare gun cotton for the many lighting nations and work about 15, 000 men. Every man is a skilled workman in his class and they em ploy every class of work known ax skilled, from a general manager on down to a "rat catcher," and I may add here, a sheet metal worker. We work three shifts eight hours each and have but few accidents, though1 carelessness always plays a part in every crowd of workmen. We are soon to be given by the govern ment a badge to wear showing that we are in service, the same as volun teers in the army, and our service here counts the same as a soldier's in action. We are proud not only to brave the dangers of a "blow-up" or anything that may probably happen but to be of service to Uncle Sam. Every man has a picture check of his own and a number. He Is always searched at the gates around the plant and every known method that applies to "safety-first" is used Dy the company to safeguard the men. We are enclosed by an eight foot fence put up on iron pipe so that It is almost impossible for any one to get in. Around this fence they have a mounted guard to patrol his part, so when you boys come to Hopewell my advice is not to try to climb tne fence as you may never know what hit you. With best wishes to all our friends in Gaston, we are Just two "Du Ponters." "I. P. LONG. R. E. LONG. Hopewell, Va., April 24, 1917.

Gastonla Citizens and Music-Lovers Invited to Help Make Charlotte's Rig Spring Music Festival a Suc cessHope of Making the Event a Permanent One Depends on Sup port Received This Year. In discussing the approaching se ries of concerts to be given in Char lotte on May 1 and 2. constituting the Charlotte Musical Festival, a prominent Charlotte citizen says: "A highly trained musical sense will not be necessary to enjoy these concerts. It is a fact that there are more lovers of music in Gastonla, in comparison to population, than in any city in North Carolina, and to these the -festival will be a treat of unusual pleasure. But to those who are not especially trained along this line the numbers will be of especial interest owing to the nature. "Gastonla people are invited to as sist in making expenses in this fes tival, there being little possibility of breaking even', the entire venture being to make a move toward the es tablishment of a permanent festival. The immense sums necessary 10 se cure these artists precluded any pos sibility of its becoming auoney-max- ing Bcueuie. "There now exists between Gasto nla and Charlotte e more friendly re lation than ever before, in my opin ion. This probably dates to th Fourth of July, 1912. when Gastoma pulled off her great celebration and the number of Charlotte visitors was limited only by the transportation facilities. "Since then Gastonla has recipro cated in a number of ways, and Char lotte is now planning to bring a large number of her people to Gasto nla to visit your magnificent schools. "And this festival, being foreign to business, and not a plan to enrlcn any one, i snouia da aeugntea to see a large number of your citizens visit the city upon this occasion, being as sured that their time will be well ex pended and that the occasion will be one of unusual enjoyment."

TUESDAY: "ONE OF MANY" Featuring FRANCES NELSON A mighty moral pantomime, E resented for Metro Program y Arthur James. Thinking While Dressing:. Sheridan (Wyo.) Enterprise. A few days ago one of the leading Journals of the country advanced the suggestion that if a person would think while dressing he would work his brain 330 hours a year more than at present. It also had something to say to the effect that the aforesaid number of hours 'would more than dduble the thinking period of most people. The last thought may have been in the nature of a confession, but at any rate the first seemed to be worth trying out. In this age of "Efficien cy" a fellow has to test every new time-saving fad. Accordingly I put the suggestion on trial the other morning. Standing before the mirror with razor poised for shaving I concentrated my mind upon the horrors of war with its sink ing vessels and rivers of blood. The thing became so real to me that forgot everything and was not at all dismayed to see a stream of blood coursing down my cheek from a slip of the razor. Next my shaving soap glided off the basin and dived to the bottom, Laconia-llke. "Those dan tardly Germans," I murmured, and went deeper into thought. Intent upon the tug and tussle of war, I took a hard pull at my shoe string which promptly broke. Instead of the usual 25 minutes for dressing and shaving, It had un der the Improved method taken prac tically an hour. Nevertheless I felt that it was worth it and struck out contentedly down the street. When I walked into the office there was a giggle and some one ask ed, "Where is your collar?" To my amazement I found that I had for gotten it. To make matters worse spied a red necktie sticking jaunitly out of my handkerchief pocket. I hurried home to get a collar and was greeted with the news that had left the hot water running and had thrown a collar and handker chief on the edge of the fireplace. On the way back to the office I did some real thinking and came to the conclusion that if the man who wrote an editorial on "Thinking Whilo Dressing naa put more tnougnt into his writing and less Into his toilet, things would havebeen much nicer CRITICISES WILSOX; IS HISSED.
