THURSDAY. JUNE 7. 1917. C0-OPERATION IN A COMMUNITY Mosting at Gastonia Marks Epoch In North Garolina, DISCUSS CIVIC PROBLEMS Bankers, Business Men, Government Farm Demonstrators and Commercial Organization Secretaries Hold a Unique and Remarkable Meeting Pro- ductive of Excellent Results. Can you imagine a city of 14,000 Dpeople arousing such a state wide in- terest in a series of meetings over the space of four days that it can at- tract: to_those meetings 100. of, the repregentatiye bankers of the entire state, more than, 150 of the representa- tive business and commercial men of the state, more than half a hundred of the government farm demonstrators in the state and practically every com- mergial, organization secretary in the .state? asky a contributor to the Town relopment ‘n;nzlne. ¥ell; .1t can be done; in fact, it has heeg; dgne. + The ¢ity, which developed this potent influence over the active men of an entirg state was Gastonia, N. C. And the little performance of Gastonia was one_of.the most viyid demonstrations of the practicability of community co- operation in town, in county and in state which the south has seen in sev- eral blue moons. The progress of Gastonia is the result of active wopernlion on the part of her citizenship. The citizenship admits it and theoutsidercan see it for himself. The spirit which has won for Gastonia, the city, is winning for Gaston, the county. Many of the growing smaller towns about Gastonia have caught the thought and are profiting. The spread- ing of the spirit of co-operation made possible the formation of the Greater Gaston County association, an associa- tion which binds together a number of separated communities through their commercial organizations, all units of the greater county association. Gastonia was scheduled to ehtertain the annual meeting of the government farm demonstrators of the state. This approaching convention provoked a bigger thought in the Gastonian mind, and 1t was determined to bring togeth- er in a series of meetings the men chiefly responsible for the progress of the state. That determination involv- ed the bankers, the business men and the commercial organization secreta- ries. As a result of the invitations and the urging some 500 men of these va- rlous classes gathered in Gastonia last month and discussed together the prob- lems and plans of North Carolina. At the meetings held during the four days the feasibility of a state chamber of commerce for North Carolina was discussed, plans were outlined for a publicity campaign for the state, and some very definite movements were be- gun for the aid of the smaller towns and rural communities of the state. The commercial organization secre- taries were entertained at a dinner fol- lowing a decidedly belpful round ta- ble conference. The bankers from over the state were entertained at luncheon by the Gastonia bankers, and some very timely banking questions were discussed from the viewpoint of an entire state. One day at noon a banquet for all the visitors was spread in the armory. This banquet was in charge of the good women of Gasto- nia, some 100 of them, and they had so perfected their arrangements for the affair that from the viewpoint of a banquet alone it was a pronounced success. Throughout the convention days the farm demonstrators had on display a really notable exhibition of live stock. pouitry and agricultural products from farms all over the state. This exhibit attracted the widest attenion and was the means of giving very definite in- gight into what rural North Carolina is producing. ‘Summing it all up, this unique and original state meeting held at Gastonia . 'was, as was mentioned earlier. a prac- tical demonstration of co-operation through city, county and state. It was the means of getting every section of the state acquainted with every.other section as it had never before been ac- quainted. Those who were there be- lieve it will prove a very certain step toward making North Carolina as a state bigger, better and more prosper- ous and giving to North Carolina folk more of those good things which the heart of every normal man and wom- an desires.

It was a recent happening at our house. We had company in the house that planned to leave on that early morning train this morning and mother and the girls -got up before daybreak to get an extra good breakfast. The table was decked out with a fresh tablecloth and all the best china and glassware, and they had fried chicken and made cream gravy and hot biscuits, and there was sirup and preserves and goodness knows what all. : “But just before they called the company out, mother decided that she wanted one more glass of jelly to put on. One of the girls came up out of the cellar through the trap door that opens in the dining room, and when she had set the pitcher of cream on the table she climbed up on a chair on the other side of the table to get the jelly off the top closet shelf. Coming down she tipped the chalr over, throwing her against the dining table. Of course, that turned the table over, and as it went over all the best dishes and that wonderful breakfast slid through the p door, landing with a smash bottom of the cellar.’ wasn't time to get another breakfast before train time, and not much left in the house to get, either. 80 you see the company was disap- pointed, the women folk were Just plagued to death, and all the best things ruiped, all for the extra glass of jelly—but you better believe I didn’t stay around home to quote that old saw to them.”—Indianapolis News. e COOK'S JOB IS SIMPLIFIED Ple Crust That May Be Kept on Hand for a Year Is Now Being Made. It will be good-by to father’s fine old paper weights made from mother’s ple crusts if Minneapolis is invaded by the new ple crust making company which Is looking over the field here, says the Tribune of that city. Guaranteed to float, six little individual ple crusts, which are destined to displace the big pie which it is necessary to cut, are to be put out in cartons already baked and warranted to last for more than a gear. All mother will have to do when surprised by company Is to go to the ple crust file and pull out a couple of records, play a little pumpkin, lemon cream or custard over them, put them in the oven a few moments and the trick is done. Of course, the prepared crusts can only be used for open-faced ples, no means having yet been devised to fur- pish the upper crust for the hunting- case variety of pies. It will be up to some genius to devise a means of sell- Ing pile filler in tubes, a la tooth paste and shaving lather.

Pioneer Office Submarine Diseases Studied. Passed Assistant Surgeon R. W. Mce- Dowell has compiled some interesting tacts in connection with disease inci- dent to submarine duty. The most fre- quent ailments observed in the sub- marine service include effects of gaso- line fumes inhaled, gastro-intestinal disturbances, ear troubles, infections 5f the respiratory tract, conjuctivitis, cheumatism, or myalgia, burns and in- juries and nervous complaints. O spe- cial interest is gasoline poisoning, the effect of inhaling gasoline fumes pro- ducing what is known as “gasoline jag.”. The D class of submarines have zasoline engines, and Surgeon McDow- ell has seen a large number of cases of poisoning due to the inhalation of the fumes of raw or burned gasoline. FUNERAL DIRECTOR M.

Mr. Rudyard Kipling's resignation from the Society of Authors (not to say his parting gift of $500 to the pen- slon fund) raises a question in which the reading public is bound to find interest. The society, by a very large vote, has decided that the production of so many charity gift-books has tres- passed on the always-great-to-a-fault generosity of authors; and that in fu- tare the society, so as to fulflll its of- fice of defendipg the rights of writers, -shall have a say in the matter when, turther gift-bqoks are proposed. Mr. Kipling's attitude is, that, while he himself holds no brief for, charity gift- Wa of { books, he declines to hand over to & | Nothing Omitted. committee his own right as to what he; i ,-rivers, roads and railroads. shall or shall not do with his owd work.—London Chronicle. Many Barred From U. S. During the year 1916 there were 28718 immigrants debarred from en- tering this country. _At least 21 spe- cific causes were advanced to prevent their entry. In nationality Mexicans were far in the lead. In the same length of time 2.983 persons were de- ported after landing. Again Mexicans took front rank, with Chinese second.
