A Moonlight Hcene From behind Cupid's knoll The moon was shining bright, From the field below It made a lovely sight. The sheep were grazing in the field; The field all green with grain For there had been no front, Dut just a warm, fall ruin. A car camu speeding down the road, The road that ran near by, Of future days the lovers talked, When they could live on pie.

EDITORIAL The high school has just recently carried on a very successful contest which gave everyone a chance to Hhow the real school spirit. As a re-, ult of this contest we have received valuable information in salesmanship. We have not only helped ourselves, but It also enables us to carry on our various sports. The' prospects at the present time are that we will have a very good team. When the yell leader and the student body back our players we are sure to have good results. Besides athletics, a girls' league has xeti oiganixed. This will prove very helpful. All of these school activities muke it possible for the school to show forth the enthusiasm that we have. Why Billy Boy Was A Naught Little Boy Billy boy did not want to go to school. That was how it all started. Can you gueHs why Billy boy did not want to go to school? Well, it was Just because he had to take an exam ination. Ho had never taken an ex amination before and he was afraid it would bo a very dreadful thing, so he begged his mother dear to let him stay home, but of course mother could not do this, so Billy boy took his books and his dinner pail and started sulkily off to school. "Hurry, Billy boy," called mother, "It's a quarter of nine." But Billy boy did not hurry. It was warm already, bees hummed in the air about him, the flowers bloom ed by the wayside and jolly little birds twittered at him from the bush- ... . ... . ... es. Billy Doy reit very tempted to play hookey, This was very naugh ty of course, and he knew it, for mother had told him to go straight to school and Miss Grace had often said that It made her feel very sad to have any of the boys or girls atay away from school if they were notill. "I don't see why I have to take old exams. I just wish the. old school house would burn up. ' Oh, dearl Hhere goes the belli I'll be late and Miss Grace will keep me in too." Just at this time a white, soft lit tle baby rabbit scuttled across the road right in front of Billy' boy and before he know it he was runing through tho cool woods after it as fast as his chubby legs would let him. The bnby rabbit led him on till he reached a rippling, dancing little brooklet which laughed and danced merrily over its mossy stones. ' The rabbit disappeared in a small hole which was under the roots of a big wild maple tree, but Billy boy didn't care. Oh, dear no! He forgot all about school and just wandered on and on till the baby brook led him to a tiny clearing. ssast iar M&MSC!mcxei&2jWe v Girls' league Organizes By Choosinir Officers The Girls's League of the high hitch school met at 2:30 last . Friday afternoon. Florence Bond, the pres ident, read the Leugue. constitution and put the business of electing new ollicers before the girls. Florence Bierce was elected presi dent for the coining year; Zella Gil liam, vice president; Nada Johnson, secretary and treasurer. A motion was made and carried that a committee be appointed to plan an initiation for the new members of the Girls' League. The league is com posed of all the girls of the student i bodv. It aims to brinir them into t.,Klier n.lltionship and to help others. We expect to do many interesting thinKS this year both in the school end out. The grass was soft as velvet and thickly doted with wood violets and the broad flat rocks bordering the stream were so thickly covered with moss that Billy boy didn't know they were rocks at all at first. The baby broklet laughed and gurgled for pure joy and got in such a hurry that it tumbled down in darling little waterfall to reach and lose itself in a lovely little emerald lake which reflected the blue sky and the fleecy clouds on its bosom. Billy boy picked flowers for a little while but grew tired of this and de cided to fish. He cut a hazel rod from a near by bush, drew a string from his pocket and fastened it to the rod. Then be hooked and baited it and sat down on a rock to fish. Billy boy had never fished before and now when he felt a nibble he jerked the line quickly from the water, but what he saw made him drop it bnck in surprise for the fish he had caught was of gleaming gold and silver, Suddenly the air was filled with a ad, atrange and wonderfully beauti ful music which quickly lulled Billy boy to sleep. Then a pair of lovely sea maidens came up slowly in a rainbow colored mist from the lake. A silver star glistened in their hair, which was fair as a moonbeam. Their eyes were deep and blue and were full of tears as they took tfe uncon scious boy in their soft arms and bore him down with them to the bow er of their fairy queen, Emeralda. "Where am I who are you?" he asked at last. itgEBmM2TKznizrCT You'll Be Glad to Hear- THE DAYLIGHT KITCHEN UNIT BRIGHTENS EVERY CORNER With a single lamp the Daylight Kitchen Unit brightens every corner.

Mountain StatesffSPower Gompany "You are in the court of Queen Em eralda" she said sadly in a voice which sounded like the tinkling of silver bells, "and you are charged with playing hookey and for attempt ing to kill my niece, Corala." "I I didn't, I wouldn't kill any. body," stammered the frightened Bil ly boy. "But you did, Billy boy. Her mouth in torn cruelly and she la quite ill from the shock." "But how I'm 'sure I never saw her, and I want to go home. Please, Oh, please dear Queen, let me go home." "No, you cannot go yet. I will tell you if you do not know. Corala has certain duties to perform each morning, which she shirked, just as a certain little boy did. In Fairy land this is a very bad sin, so for a thousand years she must take the form of a fish during the morning hours. "This morning she was swimming about, in the lake and you caught her on your ugly hook and would have slain her, I have no doubt, if it had not been for her sisters who played the xlumberland song and put you to sleep. Now my council shall deter mine what to do with you." Billy boy burst into tears. "Let me go I didn't know, I am sorry, I never will again please " Queen Emeralda waved her wand and Billy boy was unable to say an other word. Then she turned to her council of queer little grey elves, clad in green. "Retire, sires and decide the case." They were gone for a very long time, and when they returned the old est came and announced the decision. "The council has decided, Oh, be loved Queen, that since the dread ful Billy boy has played hookey, be cause he dislikes examinations and has attempted to intentionally slay poor little princess Corala. He shall be sent to a place where there is no school, no lovely Miss Grace, and no mother to worry him about being late for school. ! "Before he goes we will tear his mouth as he did Princess Corala's. With these words he proceeded to uraw an immense hook irom Bome- where and Billy boy, who had sudden ly found his voice, screamed with ter ror ' He sat up, nd what do you think! He was siting up in - his very own little bed at home and mother and daddy were runing down the hall with candles to see whatever had happened to Billy boy. And Billy boy cried and cried with his arms about his mother's neck and promised he would never play hookey again, and then daddy laughed. "Ho, Ho, Billy boy, you have been dreaming, see it Isn't morning yet, You have not played hookey, sonny." And you may be sure Bily boy was glad it was all a dream and do you know when he took his examinations at school next day, it wasn't hard at all, and he saw how foolish he had been to cross his bridge before he came to , it.

Two models: $7 & $8 litis Week By Arthur Brisbane WIRELESS POWER. BIG BUSINESS IS BIG. DONT PUSH LABOR. BIGGEST JAIL IN WORLD. It has been suggested here occas ionally during several years past that a solution of the flying prob lem would eventually include wire less transmission of power. What men can imagine, they can do when imaginations run on same lines. Electric waves are power and can be sent without wires. It is not too much to hope that power gen erated at one place on the earth will be sent without wires to an other place, or sent to machines flying in the air. Latest, most important news is that Marconi, speaking cautiously as usual, suggests the possibilities of power transmission without wir es as a scientific possibility, not a mere hope. There could be no greater practical scentific achieve ment Reports from our big business proves that it really is big.. No wonder Europe envies us. While doubting Thomases ask, "What do you think of the business outlook?" reports of great companies answer the question.

That was once called "thin air," it wasn't even "water" Now, with earnings "put back' it repre sents no one knows how much real wealth. The important tiling, according to Stalin, Russian boss, is for Rus sia to get control of "reactionary labor unions." He means especially the American Federation of Labor. American capitalists should real ize that the American Federation of Labor is a great bulwark of con servatism, and not try to push it in the direction of Holshevinm by any gloating over the fact that or ganized labor power is not what it once was. Chicago attacks one big problem in a big way, building the "largest, best jail in the world." The cost, with a court house in front to help fill the jail, will be seven and a half millions. Rooms for fourteen criminal courts will be built with high ceilings, and back of the court the big jail for the modern crime army. In view of jail breaking and the unusual energy of criminal, wouldn't it be a good idea to let jailers wear gas maks, and install in corridors and in the main office valves that, when opened, would flood the jail with some convincing gas of the mustard type ? Nothing to kill or permanently irrjure the convicts, of course, but strong enough to take their minds off arty jail breaking plan. Forty odd years . ago, Edison, .now eighty-four, was personally superintending the installation of a small electric lighting plant in "Harry Hill's," on Houston Street, New York, where John L. Sullivan used to box. , He probably did not think that he would live to see electric light and power develop into a business of seven thousand five hundred millions of dollars. - And that is only the beginning. Insull in Chicago, Wiiliams in New York, and the great electric companies on the Pacific coast are constructing power plants of hun dreds of thousands of horsepower. All the goblins in the world seemed to be let loose when talk came of gigantic tariff reductions, and Wall Street beat its breast. But President Coolidge' and Sec retary Mellon et it be known that they will do all they can to co operate in tariff reduction.
