WOMEN IN
ICELAND

1t will be a surprise to most peo-
pie to learn that majority of the adult
women of Iceland have petitioned
the parliament now IN session to give
, them the full ballot. They already
have the municipal vote. There is
, no previous instance in his tory
where a majority either of the men
OF of the women in any country have
signed a petition for anything; and
the frequent remark that whenever
the majority of women ask for suf-
frage they will get it" is always to
be understood as polite way of say
! :ng that the speaker does not want
to give it to them But in Iceland, a
maj ajority of the women have actually
asked for it.
The Icelanders are an exceptional
ly intelligent and law-abiding people
Crime among them is almost un-
known. Their spirit of independence
was well shown when the King OF
Denmark lately made gorgeous
procession through the island. The
peasants looked on from their doors
but would not leave their own ground
or come down to the roadside for a
closer view.

Especial Correspondence

Seattle, Dec. 8.-Twenty-three
University of Washington students
who register from the home of the
Big Red Apple" and adjoining local
tiles will meet in the Administration
building Thursday night and form a
Chelan County Club.
The movement has been agitated
the past two seasons but the num-
Der of students has never before JUS
titled the organization. The number
from Chelan county is now nearly
double that of any previous year.
Four localities are represented
Lakeside sends one, William A. Nc
Pherson,and Cashmere two, Fred
Sutton and Nellie Sutton. Chelan
has five, A. R. Campbell, Harley
Shepard, George Starr, o. M. Thomp-
son and Myrtle Whaley. Wenatchee
is represented by the remaining fif-
teen, as follows: Lulu Baker, Ira
Collier, Helen Collier, Fred M. Crol-
lard, John Duff, Lucien Kellogg,
George Lail, Frank Lebeck, Brent A.
Lindsay, May Murray, John E. Por-
ter, Harry Scheble, Walter Thomas,
Lewie Williams and Theodore Smith,
The Chelan County Club will be
the third organization of it's kind in
the university. The others having
sectionalism as their motive are the
Tacoma Club, with membership of
thirty members, and the Montana
Club, recently organized, with an en-
rolnent of twenty-seven.
The new club will seek to advance
three causes: 1t will promote social
intercourse among it's members and
endeavor to further the interests of
Chelan county in Seattle, and in Che
Ian county the interests of the uni
versity.
At the meeting Thursday night Of
ficers will be elected and an outline
of future work adopted.

4 Difference
IN OPINION

Most of us took commonselse
view Of the recent panic-that it was
cue to wild speculation. Very diff
ferent, however, was the opinion held
by certain Wall street men and the
newspapers which they control-tsat
Theodore Roosevelt and his policies
were responsible. This is the atti-
tude of the wayward small boy to-
ward the switch-wielding schoolmas-
ter, and Of the second story man to-

the credit of the people that nobody
outside of Wall Street took this view
seriously. We no longer buy our
opinions ready made on Park Row.

telephones strung over the valley

rapid development of the Wonderful

The Filling of a Need.
1t was the filling of need that
was the cause of the conception of
the local system. The growth of the
many orchards throughout the val

RURAL PROGRESS

One of the most notable develop
ments of the past five. years is the
movement of the American city to-
ward the country. This means not
that the stream of emigration has
been reversed, but that, the back
water has carried the spirit of the
city into the rural districts-over
telephone wires and in trolley cars
and automobiles, and in the rural

the home town for their leisure days.
Along with the material things has
gone the city's message that man is
a social being.-Success Magazine.
