HOSCHT0N HIGH SCHOOL,
GETS IMPROVEMENTS.

HOsCHToN, Gal, Decsi 23.-The work
of improving the property of the Hosch-
ton High school is in progress. A new
room for another department has been
completed and the whole building is to
be repaired and repainted soon. New
patent desks have been. purchased and
are being put in.
One of the leading factors of this work
is DIR. w. p. DeLaperriere, chairman of
the board of trustees and Mayor of Hosch-
ton.
At a recent meeting of the board of
trustees and the city council a deed to
the school property was made to the
town, making it public property to be
kept up by the town. The council inS1e-
diately had tax assessed and collected
for the above improvements, and purchase
ed an acre of land joining the old school
lot for school purposes. This gives the
school most excellent site.
The school, under the able management
of Professor RE. Carroll, principal, Miss
Mary b. Park, of LAGRANGE, first assist
ant, AND Miss Pauline Carroll, of Ok
ford, has had the largest attendance the
past year of its history, and promises to
be much better next term.
A school library has been established
with funds raised by the school children
the past year. A book case and quite a
number of books have already been pur-
chased.
At a recent election for mayor and coun-
ell Dr. LaPerriere was reelected mayor

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S.-"Capitalists have .
right to do as they please with their mon
ey as long as they do not become public
charges. ,,-.r
"a man without capital may labor o.
refuse to labor so long as he keeps Qua

Capitalists have the right to combins
capital in productive enterprises with en-
terprises and by lawful competition drive
individual producers and small ones out
of business.
"Laborers and artisans have the right
to form unions and fight this competition
of capitalists by lawful means
This statement of the right of combina-
ton on the part of capital and labor was
handed down by. Judge c. G. Bland. OF
the court of appeals today in a decision
in favor of Joseph E. Walsh. who sought
an injunction to prevent members Of the
Master Plumbers association from COM
bining in the refusal to sell him supplies
because he was, not a member.
Judge Barclay and Judge Goode con-
Cured in the decision which was the re-

Wood, who had denied an Injunction ask
