Grade, School North North Euth Linney, 10th "Wilkesboro High Wilkesboro, N. C. Theme Series VTL No. 2. - A famous man once lectured upon fand. And it surprised .the; people of the. world that J30 much that is inter v esting could be said about it. But sure ly even sand has more substance and jBore reality than smoke. The lovers Cl smoke are scarce and the arguments Against it are many. One often hears it said that smoke puts out the eyesl People declare that smoke blackens the clean white things that have been put . upon the earth. And have I not heard - London condemned because of the fog fin( the smoke?! And have I not heard some place called, "The Smoky City"? '. ,; : ;rr f Still,' smoke may contribute its share , of cheer to a town or a community. In tbe bleak, dark afternoons, when the gray old Spirit of winter has des- - tended low upon the world, a cozy " looking smoke suggests a region of warmth and ; comfort somewhere. When the Midnight Watchman looks cut over the silent town, a trail of emoke comiiig from a chimney may tell of joy or suffering in some one's Jxome. Truly, the amount of smoke may reveal much of a character. It will show if one is; stingy, or a good provider, whether the family has a .furnace or an open fireplace, the kind of fuel that is burned, and incidental ly, a smoke is a good barometer, of the hours one keeps The chimney does not count here. Of chimneys, many books might be written, and it is very " desirable, that there be, but while a v chimney or smokestack is the finished product of a builder, smoke so light that it floats as a cloud in air, is never looked forward to as anybody's re ward. And yet it'adds a note of life and cheerfulness that appeals to the heart forever. ' Only those of high sentiment "and deep soul culture have learned to see a charm in the common place of, all things- Few people could see any beau ty in smoke. But when one seeks t find it so, a fleecy cloud of white or gray smoke may be almost patheti- cally beautiful. Not quite a pleasing .anchor for world-tired souls, perhaps, but at least a soothing charm for the weary and troubled of heart. I know once when in a great and distant city,' I was yearning with the utter home sickness of the country born for God's secluded valleys and his fields," that 1 glanced at a long line of smoke that endrcled the busy metropolis, and it -. seemed to sympathize. In" its serene . therealness it' brought memories of home. Some days -later when I had "encountered an old friend, we talked quite frequently of the consolation . the smoke afforded us, and wondered, exceedingly at thegood and jfche loveli-- . Hess that dwell in little things. ' And if smoke blackens, is it lowlier than we? Maybe our contact with the world does not always benefit it . any more than the smoke which indi cates that the . home-fires are burn ing somewhere, 'r; . ; Then, too, smoke 'has all to do with fairyland. Once I read a story called The , Smoke Girl," and soft, gray gmoke against a 'sapphire sky makes a fitting background for 6beron and all his train, in; the fanciful tales where the gossamer-winged fairies -dance in the moonlight. ' - i Smoke is the faithful friend of the ' dreamer. It closes over the humdrums of the past and hides from view the .shadowy - forms ' of sorrowful memo Ties. -It proves that the dreamer is warm in heart and soul as he or she , v spins a web of fancy as fruitless as , - the idlest day dream and airy as ' smoke itself. Smoke "delicately sur rounds and softens the air castle, the "dreamer has built, making ' it as the moonlight made Ben Adhem's room, "as beautiful as a lily in bloom," and .as picturesque as the legendary Norse kingdom of Valhalla, ''the abode of the luminous genii." With patient kindness, smoke hides . in unmitigated mist, the future of all of us. If we are blest in our ignorance of the way destiny has ordered our life, and 'f we must hew out of solid rock the "path through the long after- . noon of ' our existence ; why, also we ' may be thankful that it; and comrade, . mist, hide the ruggedness of our trail to the end 'of life. And even as we are ,thankful for the fire ' that keeps - us warm in body and in soul, let us 1 be v thankful ' also for smoke. ; COMMUNITY MEETINGS.-. The picture program for the next series of community meetings is un usually good." "Butterfly TPreserva tion". is the title of a marvelous pro duction in colors, showing over seven thousand varieties of butterflies. There is also a most interesting travelogue which takes the observer through Cos-. ta Rica, .acquainting him with the beautiful scenery and the banana 'in dustry of Central America. K There is a fairy story with a real witch and at the end, "Mutt and Jeff? in an exper ience with a time bomb. " - ' The meetings will be held for next week as follows: !

The water power survey of Wilkes county has already begun and " it will eventually become one of the biggest assets and advertisements that the county . has, due to- the fact ' that the Wilkes county commissioners were big enough to see a good thing and guar antee on&-&alf the expense of making the survey. . . ' . - " , Surry county to the east of us also took advantage of the offer and Wilkes and Surry will figure as the first coun ties in the state to have a complete survey' of their major water powers and a complete report of this survey will appear in a pamphlet published by the state covering the water pow ers of Wilkes and Surry. Eventually a, water power survey will cover the whole 100 counties but we will be the first to be able to advertise our water power resources. . . These pamphlets with maps and pro files of the streams will be accessible to every one and will aid materially in developing our resources. Mr. Thorndike Saville of the Univer sity of North Carolina started' the work moving on Thursday, the 10th, by reestablishing the stream guage at the lower Yadkin bridge and commen cing the surveys of the streams. Mr. S. C. Austin, of Albemarle, and Mr. A. Y. Cottrell are members of the party. , ' : thence East 36 poles to a gumj thence Soutti 34 poles to a mchogajiy;1thence South . 45 East 90 poies to a stake; thence vNorth lOO poles to a stake; thence East 56 poles to a stake;thence South 115 poles to ia. take;thence East 49 poles to a stake; thence South 15 poles to the beginning.

ADITORIAL. . To whom do we owe homage for this : era -of individuality in dress? Time was and not so long ago-that women con sidered it to be i in good taste to wear, clothes similar to those of every other woman. Those who did try to express their personality by deviating fromthe beaten path of conventionality were con sidered eccentric. and looked upon with ' a more to be pitied than a censured at titude. Times haVe changed. Women have changed. Today women are wide-, , awake to the meaning of self-expression in dress and designers realizing that their success depends upon giving wom en what they demand are concentrating . all their creative ability on individual :' modes for individual women. CHARMINGLY STYLED DRESSES FOR ALL OCCASIONS, But this is not to be exclusivelyta suit . season. One-piece dresses are attract-, ing equal attention. And the modes dis-" played are positively wonderful. If one . looks best in a straightline dress she may wear it and feel , assured of being -v correctly attired. If" a dress of softer ' outline is most' becoming one of the gracefully draped or tunic models would be the logical choice.. For the' street . there are Tricotines, Serges, and Jer- seys.
