States had no representative in the
»Council because it had failed to ratify
tha treaty and accept the covenant,
thanks to a republican senate.
On taking the chair the presiding
officer spoke as follows touching
America’s delay in ratifying the trea
ty:
“The task of presiding at this nieet-
in«: and inaugurating this great inter
national institution should have fal
len to Pres. Wilson. We respect the
reasons which still delay final decision
by our friends in W ashington, but ex
press the hope that their difficulties
will soon be overcome and that a rep
resentative of the great American re
public will occupy tlie place awaiting
him among us. The work of the coun
cil will then assume definite character
and will have that articular force
which should be associated with our
work.

THE LEAGUE IS A REALITY
The League of Nations an act-
lUK’ity. Representatives of France,
<Great Britain, Italy, Greece, Belgium,
Spain, Japan, Portugal and Brazil
met in Paris on the 16th and perfect
ed the organization by the election
®f Leon Bourgeois, the French repres-
fentative, chairman and Sir Eric Drum
.mend, of Great Britain, general sec-
xetary. The purpose of the League
was declared to be “to promote in-
Iternational co-operation and to
achieve international peace and se
curity.”
The meeting was convened on the
csil oi Pres. Wilson, but the United
W’orld prohibition is the next ob
jective of the Anti-Salcon League and
the fight for a saloonless civilization
has already-started. The countries of
the Old World have sent over the
“Macedonian cry” and the call will
not be in vain. $250,000,000 is asked
for to aid in pushing the work along
and the quota for North Carolina has
been fixed at $750,000. It will be a
prime investment for both the church
and State.

There are four big reasons why the
portable Florence Oil Heater is just the
heater you need this winter to make chilly
corners comfortable-
1. The Florence gives generous heat.
2. Scientific construction makes the
Florence stronge and sturdy.
3. It is the most beautiful heater ever
made.
4. It is the most economical, as it
gives maximum heat from every drop of
oil.
The Florence Oil Heater is odorless,
smokeless, and safe, if the few simple di
rections w’hich accompany each heater are
follov/ed.

The best watch value in Transylvania County, or in
North Carolina for that matter.
Made by the Waltham Watch Co., it is 7-jewell, has
safety ^teel barrel, patent Braguet hair>spring and patent de
tachable balance staff with solid nickel case and is a dandy.
Worth more than many watches sold at a higher price. .This
is better than sending to the mail order house or going to
Asheville.
Come in and look it over.
