The Vermont National Pig Club
A WORD TO PARENTS

When the officers of this Bank first began to talk
with Mr. Sweeton the subject of Pig Clubs it was
with eye to the benefit which it would bring the
boys and girls who took part in the work; to the
business training involved in borrowing and making
the sum borrowed pay back the loan and yield
profit, too to the increased interest in things agr-
cultural which might result
In the last few weeks another side to the matter has
come to view. Our Country is at war. On her rests
the duty of feeding all Europe And as things are,
it may not be easy to feed her people.
In such crisis it to that it is our duty to
point out that few of hogs added to the
number which would otherwise be raised in this To-
calty will help America and her Allies to win the
War. Especially will this be if every boy or girl
who takes VERMONT NATIONAL pig will raise
with his or her hands such part of the necessary
food as can be grown between and fall and also
an amount of grain equal to that used in fattenng
the pig.
Our suggestion is therefore, that parents interest
their boys and girls in this matter Talk it over with
Mr.. SWeeton The produce of small plot will sup
port one pig in luxury. ~

SUPREME COURT GIVES MOVIE"
DECISION.
Heralded as Most Important Event in
Film History.

The supreme court of the United
States has just handed down a de-
cision as important to the motion pic
ture industry as the decision on the
Adamson 8-hour law was to the rail-
road industry of the country.
By this decision the Universal Film
Manufacturing Company wins out in
its fight against the Motion Picture
Patents Company in the Latham
Loop" case, and defeats the attempt
to prevent motion picture theatres
from showing any films save those
permitted by one company, which
claimed control Of essential patents.
Since the Universal Film Manufac
turing Co. took the struggle into
the courts, the legal battle has been
one of the most interesting in history.
Carl Laemmle, president of the Uni
versal Company, has kept in personal
touch with all phases Of the case in
its progress through court after court
to the highest in the land
''This decision is the biggest and
best thing that has happened in the
| motion picture business" he declared
| when interviewed after the announce
| ment was made. eff we had lost this
suit, the motion picture theatres of
| this country would have suffered a
calamity. We have really fought the
| battle of the entire industry and safe
guarded others rights We feel par
ticularly proud because we fought the
| fight alone, after all the other pro-
| ducers had failed to answer our APP
| peal to chip in and stand the terrific
| expense.
IF the Universal had not defended
the case and fought it through, every
exhibition in the country, every mo-
ton picture theatre, might now bt
using only such pictures as the Pa
tents Company permitted them to use
In other words, the motion picture in
dustry would be in the hands of one O.
the highest monopolies the world eve
saw.
II believe that this decision mean
much to the success of the motto,
picture industry and to the quality c
pictures produced for the public"
