The young able-bodied men with out dependents in North Carolina are this week being called upon to enlist la the National Guard organizations, the week beginning July 2 and end ing July 7 having been designated '"National Guard Week" by Governor BIckett. The call for. volunteers is being made In order to fill up the gapa In the Guard which at present needs about 4,000 men. The Adjutant General has appeal ed to the newspapers, city and coun ty officials, ministers f the gospel, chambers of commerce, and all oth er organizations to align themselves with the movement. The military authorities of tbe State are also ce airoua of enlisting the services of all the citizens in the movement towards securing the necessary enlistments. "The men of North Carolina have always been in the forefront of ev ery war in which this State has been engaged," says Adjutant General B. 6. Royster in hia appeal to the young men to bold np the record of the Old North State. He adds: "It was North Carolinians who first declared their independence from their moth er country. It waa North Carolinians who fongbt the battle of Alamance Court House, and Kings Mountain. North Carolinains 'were first at Beth el.' farthest at Gettysburg and last at Appomattox,' and it is believed that the same spirit and determination which our forefathers displayed in the war of the Revolution, and dur ing tbe Civil War, has been inherit ed by this generation. Therefore, this office looks with confidence to the young men of this State to once more offer their services in defense of oar great Anglo-Saxon civiliza tion." . This appeal of the Adjutant Gen eral to the young men of Gaston county has already been answered by a great many, but there are a great many more who have turned a de&Jf ear to the call. Those young men have heard the call of America and or their mother State during the past weeks and have been prone to heed it, but have not done so because they were not given the proper en couragement from the men with whom they are working. There are several instances in Gastonia where red-blooded young men heard their country's call and were eager and ready to answer It but were persuad ed "to wait a while and you might not be drafted." This does not sound pleasing to the patriotic peo ple bat it is true, we regret to relate. Those employers who have advis ed the men working for them . "to wait" are certainly not in harmony with the President and the govern ment and are therefore nothing less than "slackers" even If they are mar Hed, physically unfit or without tne age limits.. : Those same men who busy them elver to advise patriotic young men leslrous of- doing their duty "to rait" when, several thousand men re badly needed in the National luard in North Carolina can be seen rea days in the week wildly chas Z lis dollar.

SCHNEIDER A lot of young Americans could show their patriotism on this Glori ous Fourth by stepping up to the re cruiting office and enlisting for their country's defense. It beats marcn ing in the Blngtown Fourth of Juiy Parade all hollow. Those Russians are surprising ev erybody. Taking eight to ten thou sand prisoners on the first day of their new offensive, after months of inactivity, was no small accompllsn ment. From the news that has been coming from that country during and since the revolution through which it has recently passed, tbe American people were prepared to wait months before expecting to hear of the Russians being in the game again to any extent. Uncle Sam's assistance and tbe encourage ment carried to' that country by tne Root mission has evidently had mucn to do with putting Russia's fighting forces in the field once more. One frequently hears it said and it is true, of course that the Gener als and ther "big bugs" in the vari ous armies are not found in the front fighting, but far in the rear. This is meant generally as an unfavorable criticism, though it should not be. Should the big men who plan tbe campaigns and work out the details of great battles put themselves at the front and fall in battle the arm ies would soon find themselves de moralized for the want of competent leaders. It Is necessary for them to be protected and saved for import ant work. However, in view of the criticism referred to, it is refreshing to see Minister of War Kerensky of Russia put himself at the very front of the troops, give the orders to ad vance and lead his men on to a glo rious victory. Perhaps that incident explains in some degree the success with which the Russian campaign is starting. The men know that they have behind them a man who means business and who counts his life as naught when weighed In the balances with his country's cause. In tbe bloody race riots and burn ing of property in East Saint Louis are to be seen some of the fruits of the great migration of negroes from the cotton fields of the South to the congested industrial centers. ? They are attracted by glowing " pictures painted by hired labor agents. In many cases doubtless they are dis appointed. If they do secure tbe promised employment at high wages 4a-r!are-of -the cltjr-w1tnltB' tooze 1 EXTRA SPECIAL $1.00 Value Ladies' Dresses, our price 48c Ladies' $6 value Pure Silk Satin and Silk Poplin Dresses at $4.98 Ladies' $5.00 Silk Dresses, at only $3.95 and other allurements often turns their heads and trouble follows as It lias done in this instance. Then, too, the whites in the North, East ana West are largely ignorant or tne character and habits of the purely Southern negro. They don't know how to take him or to treat him. Again trouble follows. A gentle man who lives in New York city stated to the writer recently that the number of negroes buried last win ter in the potter's field in "that one city ran into the thousands and was appalling. The negro's place is in the South and when he migrates in considerable numbers to other sec tions we may as well expect trouble. PLANS FOIt FLORAL FAIR. Will lie Held as Uusual and Prepara tions Are Being Made for Biggest Fair in Town's History Com mittee Chairmen Named The lrizes. (Written for The Gazette.) In answer to several inquiries as to whether we will have a flower show this year we reply, "Yes ". We have already begun to make prepara tions fpr it. Believing that the large majority of us can best "do our bit" in the great world war by carrying out our President's command to keep up the home industries, we hope to make this the biggest and best floral fair we have ever had. We are planning interesting ex hibits. We shall have chrysanthe mums, fancy work booth, candy booth, old quilt booth, food conserva tion booth and will serve one meal. As usual prizes- will be given for chrysanthemums and fancy wor. In : addition there will be a first and a j second prize for the prettiest old quilt and prizes for the best Jelly, preser ves, pickles and canned fruits and vegetables. We are anxious to have as many chrysanthemums as possible. While all cannot grow flowers, many ladies can help the floral fair by entering jellies, preserves, canned fruits and vegetables, etc. Ithas often been, said that the floral fair is the most enjoyable so cial event of the year in Gastonia and, since the social clubs of tne town have largely laid aside the so cial feature while the war continues, we expect everyone to enjoy the so cial chats and old-fashioned hand shakes with their friends at the floral fair more than ever. We want everyone who can sew or embroider to make a garment for the fair. Anything will be acceptable- irom a cook apron to tne most iaD orate luncheon cloth. The doors will be opened at three o'clock in the afternoon and one meal will be served. The fair will close that night. Chairmen for the several commit-S tees have been appointed as follows: To receive flowers. Mrs.: W. J. Clif ford; to sell flowers, Mrs. T, W. "Wil son: candy booth. Mrs. J.

This floral fair is given under tne auspices of the Gastonia Woman's Dettennent Association and it is very gratifying to the members of the flor al fair committee of the association that the responses to their requests have been given so readily and so cheerfully. Not a single appointee has refused to serve. The women of Gastonia are noted for their spirit of co-operation. While they differ as to some things they are united in their common love for Gas tonia. Let us make the next fair the best in the history, knowing that all the work and money will be used for bet tering the conditions in our town. MRS. J. F. THOMSON, MRS. D. E. McCONXELL, MRS. W. F.
