“Smarten Up!”
These mellow spring days, when the air is like
champagne, are change-your-clothes days. Away with
the old suit that debits you. and into a “HIGH-ART”
suit that credits you! x
A “HIGH-ART” Suit softens up and “smartens up” with
use like a thoroughbred glove. It hobnobs with the angles of
your figure—it walks with you—almost talks to you, for there’s
a human side to clothes.
Put your spring suit money at interest into a “HIGH-ART
and draw all-year dividends in congenial companionship. If
you buy a suit without trying on a “HIGH-ART,” you’re plot-
ting AGAINST YOUR POCKET.
See what Beautiful Spring Suits we are selling
For $i0, $15, $18.50 and $20.
All the store is a-smile with the spring spirit. We are cer-
tainly Headquarters for “Men’s Fixings.”

Good Work for Helpless Children.
W. W. Bugbee, agent for the
Children’s Aid Society of New
York, has spent several days re-
cently in this part of Texas look-
ing after the comfort, care and
condition of the orphan boys
whom he has placed with differ-
ent parties in this and near-by
counties.
The Leader reporter inter-
viewed Mr. Bugbee in regard to
the work of this society and
found much to commend in the
work being done. When the
work of placing these orphan
boys was first begun there was
no little opposition* but since
finding out more about the work,
and especially where these boys
come from, and how they are
watched over and cared for by
the agents, people are rather dis-
posed to endorse than to criticise
the enterprise of the society.
It is the testimony of Dr, Buck-
ner, of this Buckner Orphan
Home, that the home has never
turned out a vicious character.
Naturally the inquiry is made
why this is so, knowing that
many must come from vicious
parents and homes of vice. It is
doubtless due to their environ-
ment and the good training in
the home, and it is claimed by
many that training in such insti-
tutions does more towards form-
ing good and safe characters
than any other element—even
overcoming any evil which might
exist in the way of heredity.
The importance of good sur-
roundings is emphasized by the
society represented by Mr. Bug-
bee, and parents and school
boards might profit by giving
more attention to this fact. Re-
member that in helping the chil-
dren, either of this society, or of
local institutions, you may con-
tribute toward the development
of a noble character and thus
help the race and make the world
better.
