- A FRIEND
7 By Marion Sctt
A friend is something that can’t be
expressed.
In one werd or sentence alone,
Yet they ave 30W’OXE§ to te possessed,
More than the richest store,
A friend is one who loves you :
Through all your faults and feurs,
A friend is one who is always true,
True on {lLirough the ycars.
e ‘
A friend goes with you all the way :
To success or failure—if it be
. “Friend”’ is a word that means ev
erything 5
And each day it means more to ma.

4 THE NEW LEAGUE
By Fran®es Gower
This old world has at last swung
into a new epcch, the impossaible hus
haprened, war in two Balkan statos
has actually been stopped by the
command of the League of Nations.
It was only three ('l?ys after these
. curity of the pact of the great wes:-
orn powers of Europe when an out
break of fighting between Grecks
and Bulgarians cast an aprrehensive
chill over the war-wearied nations.
Turope shuddered at the crnsequenca
of another war. But the council of
the League of Nations called an
~ emergency session in Paris and de
~ manded immediate ces&ation of hos.
tilities and the wilhdrawal of ull in
vading forces in QGreece and Bulgaria
Prompt compliance was accorded
by these nations to+ the League’s
first decrec. This means that the
League hasg at last “come into its
own’’ It is stronger teday that ever
tefore ond established peace and an
united spirit in western KEuarope,
" The governments belonging to the
League syoke with such unity ,and
so plainly and promntly that the in
vading notions withdrew its army. |
Thig 'was what the League was
created to do. But how did it find
the strength to do it?The League has
become powerful in the outlying
reglon of Furope because at the
center a peace hag been begun ameng
France, Germany and Great Britain.
Once the League was a house divided
against itself, T:day it acts as (mt"
unit to quell the disturbance of the
peace of Euroypa!
‘ ‘The success cf the League in this
difficuity goes to prove that when
the ,oreat powers are =t peace them
selves, they are abtle to establish
peace elsewhere. Hither to the grect
powers of Rureno have seconaed qdn
aggrivated dispute between the Bal.
kang. Today for the first timo In
history the great powers have stood
united on the “Balkan question™
for the f{irst time were obeyed.
The truth of the cage is that
Lurope is ‘‘finding herself.’”’ This
suceess has opnened the advance f
strong nations without the slaughter
of the naticns best and Dbravest,
“Europe js now creating a mighiy
precedent of loyalty to the plighied
word. ' ;
The next guestion which will Le
brought to the League will be to of
ficially ask the council take necessary
stéps to iasure pormanent peaco in
the Balkan states. This will be a di.
ficult task at present since the de
signs and the powerful countries, Gor
many and Russia will have to be
considered' as they are mnot in the
Leaguye.
There is speculation in Washiag
ton as to whether it would he possi
ble for the 1. S. to reconsider its
attitude toward the League. If the U.
£. were associated with the Leasue
we would have a voice in the future
of the world. On the other hand wirh
the T 7. S. outside, it is predicted that
this success marks tho beginuing ~f
_ a_self-contained, self.conscious’ and

SPOOKY LIGHTS |
By Katherie Vinson |
Brown Mcuntain, Burke county.}
Xorth Carolina has some vuryl
¢:3 ky lights, Native inhabitants
!!' wve seen them since the Civil qu‘.‘
|thers have observed them for a
‘::'v.w.x'tcr of o century. Some think thos
they are of supernatural origin. Oth
ers think that they indicate vast de.
posits of mineral cre.
About 7:20 p. m. a sirange ball of
light rises over the mountain, It i 3
ptout the size of a toy halloon anid
is very red. It vises a short distance
into the air, then it wavers and disap
pears. The lights do not’ appear regu l
larly in the same spot, ‘
They appear to some as a Dbdale,
white bhail of iight encircled by ::‘
faint halo, It is restricted to a px'n-l
“a(:rfl:ui circle and appears three cr‘;
| four times in succession, then it
;«iisappears for 20 minutes. To othm's!
git appears as a ball of yellcw li:z,ht.]
(it lagts for onc-half minute then A
jubl’upt]y disappears. It seems to mova ‘
’upwal‘d and downward and somf‘.‘
tirnes it is stationary. To anothes
,pm':mn its appears as a ball of incm l
descent light in which therc is u 1
zeething motion, |
Government geologists have inves'»."
tigated the origin of these lights
]zuul various causes have been sug
gested. |
I Others suggested that headlights of |
{raing and autos flashing over thr.z‘
mountain might te the cause, But the |
lights were seen long before the ad-®
vent qf automsbiles and locomoetives
in that section.
Phosponorous, fox-fire and radium
were suggested, But phosphqrous i 3
s 0 readily oxidized that it is mnever
found in a free state. Fox-fire givcs':
ioz‘f a very pale light and the ema
nations from radium are invisible so
feither of these are the reason. ' '
¢4t Flmo’s fire and Andes light, a
luminous discharge of electricity ob
served over the ecrest of the Ander,
were suggested. But St. Elmo's fire |
is brushlike in appearance and the
contour of Brown Mountain is very
m-fuvm:ablc for Andes light
Tha fires of moonshiners’ stills
could not cause the lights, for the
fires are screened so that they can
not be seen and there are not enough
stills on the mountain to cause the
lights.
Some thought the lights to te will
othe-wisps but there is mno marshy
grovnd on the mountain where the
insects could live.
Hydrogen sulphide and lead oxide
are said to he f>und on Brown Moun-.
{ain and since hydrogen sulphide ig
nites readily in the presence of lead
oxide, the lights might be due to
{his. Ouly a few believe this theory.
| The origin of these strange, beau
!tit‘ul lights are today still a mystery

‘for a long time. But by and by some

Liver Trouble Causes z
High Blood Pressurcg
Medical science knows that poi
sonous waste in our bodies would
actually cause death in a few days
if not eliminated by Nature's proc
esses. Because it dostroys these
deadly poisons, the liver is our most
imporiant organ—the body’s wonder
ful purifier.
The liver prevents the formation
of body poisons that cause diseases
of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels,
and are chiefly responsible for prema
ture old age.
When the liver becomes weak, the
poisons are sucked up by the blood
and health is broken down. Physi
cians know that the liver cannot be
regulated by drugs, but a §afe Na
ture substance has been discovered
which will at once increase the vital
bile supply. The discovery is puri

our tent around—it seemcd too heavy
I’d left the tentpoles ot home but I
