&
There is a true story told of a Budapest bookseller, who—faced with
hard times—advertised that he had for sale a volume of information
indispensable to a young girl contemplating matrimony. He said that-
in this book would be found—not what every young girl is told before
_____Jj4~.i1- J d-.-LSFMA- ----ijn
Thousands sent their mail-orders. Then—complaints began to pour
in. Finally an outraged man brought the bookseller into court He
stated that he had sent for one of these compendia of indispensable in-
formation .. and that ht received by mail a 19th Century Cook-book-
“Lazy Little Lulu Learns Cookery.” He wanted the bookseller found
guilty of obtaining money under false pretense* . . .
But the judge acquitted him, saying that he was in thorough accord
with the bookseller’s view that a knowledge of cooking was of pri-
mary importance to the prospective bride.
The Modern Newspaper could be advertised truthfully in very much
the same way. The most indispensable knowledge to a young wife is
knowing where and what to buy . . . how to get the most for her
money ... how—on a limited budget—to keep her home fresh, new,
attractive . . . how to dress herself and her children, inexpensively
yet in the very latest style* . . . how to serve on her table food* ofl
the most dependable quality.
In other words—the advertising that appears every day in your local
newspaper contains information of real value . . . news! Announce-
ments of the latest aAd best in the shopping world. This is indispen-
sable information to every woman, especially to those with families.
It help* them tun their homes successfully. Surely that is what every
woman must know.

Transportation
Unquestionably, there will be strong

bus and truck lines, which operate on

sort of control that the government
exercises over the railroads.
At present the independent highway!
lines are completely under individual
state control, while trucks and busses
operated by the railroads themselves
have to be sanctioned by the Commis-
sion. One hope of the railroads is
that they may obtain control of the
bus and truck situation and so recover
some of the heavy losses which this

ation. He was authot of several laws

dened taxpayers by making more lib-
eral and less harsh -the terms on
which property owners could reclaim

Stevenson’s supporters denied ru-
mors that he was a "Ferguson” man.
One of them stated, pointedly, that
such was not the case and that on one
occasion the Fergusons had refused
to appoint him to a district attorney-
ship because he had not supported
the Fergusons in the election. This
same supporter, however, expressed
belief Stevenson would be more ac-
ceptable to Ferguson than Johnson,
who was regarded an ally of Gov-
ernor R. S. Sterling in tft 42nd leg-
islature.
The Cisco .Case
Roy E. Henderson, secretary of
Texas Interscholastic League,
warned that there is danger of
league turning the sport of football
back to the public schools, leaving
them without sponsorship. The warn-
ing is an echo from the Cisco situa-
tion of last year. Cisco has been
barred from organized league compe-
tition in football because of alleged
breaking of a rule, concerning the
transfer of a star player from Cor-
sicana to Tyler and then to Cisco.
The decision of District Judge
George L. Davenport at Eastland or-
dering reinstatement of Cisco in the
league football race this fall, means
either the state board must win in
high courts, if funds are found for
an appeal, or the virtual end of
