To Pig Club Members

any response to the letters l wrote re-
Gently concerning the club work. You
can help very much by taking the
matter up with you boys and reporting.
If you have goods ereliable boys un-

We may be able to help them.
Thanking you for your cooperation.

he best of herself and the most

the best of herself and the most
of the money she has to spend.
And the poorer the girl is the
more she needs this branch OF
education,
1t is a woman's religious duty
to be as good looking os she can.
When God made her a thing of
gracious curves, when he gave
her the glory of long hair and
painted the roses on her cheeks.
He intended her to adorn life,
and it is just as much her mis-
sion to do this as to do anything
else.
Now it is true that not every
woman can be beautiful, but no
one need be hideously ugly if she
will take the trouble to dress
properly. The simplest frock
may be chosen of a pretty color
and made on lovely lines. the
cheapest Shlrtwaist may be put
on properly instead Of hit-or-
miss.
For the woman who is frowsy
and untidy, for the woman
whose skirts hike up in front
and down IN the back, whose
belt and skirt miss connection,
and the various colors of whose
raiment swear at each other, no
excuse can be made. She is an
eyesore to man, blot on the
landscape, and she has frustrated
the plan for which she was
made.
The remedy for this is educa-
ton, and it is far more import
ant that a girl should be taught
to have some sense of color, and
value of lines, and given some
knowledge of how to dress
properly than it is that she
should be given a smattering OF
the ologies and isms.
In short, don't you wish you
knew of some school to which
you could send your daughter
where she could be taught the
accomplishment of being a lady!
And isn't that about the highest
education that you can give tc
any girl?

 Appropriating News

New York, March 29.-The appM- cation of the Associated Press for a writ of injunction restraining the In- ternational News Service from appro- priating complainant's news at any time prior to publication by com- plainant's members was granted by Judge Augustus N. Hand in the fed eral district court today.
 As to the right of the complainant to m, injunction restraining the de- fendant from the appropriation of complainant's news after publication. the court states as follows:
 While I am personally satisfied, af- ter giving the matter most deliberate and careful consideration, that the right exists to prevent the sale by a competing news agency of news which is taken from early publication of complainant's members before a sufficient time has elapsed to afford opportunity for general publication and that the existing practice amounts to unfair trade, yet the matter is one of first impression, and my decision cannot be regarded sufficiently. free from doubt to justify the granting of preliminary injunction upon this branch of the case."
