she presents the modern feminist
thought-why shouldn't the wife be

husband, backed UP by the traditions

Then he walked through the deep, dark,
dense jungle till he came in sight Of
the island on which the witch lived.
But the log was taken away and he
could not get across. On the shore of
the lake was an elephant feeding on the
vines, and the parrot spoke to it about
the trouble.
THE old witch trusts you, SO you can
manage this" said the parrot. Just lie
down and stretch your tail across and
the man can walk over. She will think
you are just asleep and not bother
about It." The elephant said he would
do this il the man would cut him ten
tons of hay. And the man promised to
do it.
The elephant was the favorite animal
of all. and the witch had always petted
it and loved 1t dearly. so it was very
mean to act this way. But it thought Of
the ten tons of hay and decided to
help the man and the pafrot. At sunset
it lay down as IL asleep. and stretched

shore and took her magic with her.

i Thursday in Atlantic City and
which is to have what will

ton, at the Columbia Theater next
week. Is Fannie Hartz. young girl who
has a number of ideas OF her own on
the timely topic which THE Honey
Bee SO humorously portrays. Miss
Hartz is a honey gatherer herself in

who says they are mems jobs?. The
give UP what he has. This has been
emphatically a mans world since the
beginning of the world. He has had
the upper hand from the beginning, and
he keeps 1t still. And. like the husband
in The Honey Bee and his anarchistic
friend, Marx, some of the representa-
tives of his sex would like to keep it
forever.
Think of it," Miss Hartz says. In
1907 there were only seven professions
open to women. Now there are women
at the top of 371 trades and professions.
but il Is a sad commentary on our sex
that from the dawn of civilization until
the present day less than 1000 women
have accomplished anything that his
tory records as worth while"
While Miss Hartz is no propagandist
of the New Woman. she believes that
man and woman should work together,
and that IL the woman finds that she
can do some especial line Of work bet
ter than a man, she believes that the
woman Is justified in coping the
Job from the man. In her opinion, man
and woman should work together as
husband and wife much as they nnally
do in the play OF which she is the lead
ing woman. She believes that Dame Ma
ture intended 1t this way.
As an argument she cites the fact
that the profession of wifehood and
motherhood is limited in its reward
The world Is full Of eminent mothers
but who ever called one eminent? His
tory doesn't deal with mothers In her

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
WHY ELEPHANTS HAVE SHORT TAILS

| ~ nee upon a time many millions
and trillions of years ago,
~ when the world was still but
baby, there lived a witch in
the middle of a lake. OF course, this
was way off In Africa, but then when
the world was SO very, very young,
there was not any other part dry but
Africa, and that was inhabited by wild
animals only except for this old witch.
Another funny thing was that ali the
animals were of the same size, and
that size was very. big. Rabbits and
squirrels were just as big as the ele-
phant then. The elephants had great.
long pushy tails just like squirrels have
now, but they lost them. and 1t was all
on account of the first elephant being
deceitful.
Now the old witcn VAS very fond @:
the animals. Owls and canarIcs and
parrots flew aboYt ker yard and -Sers,
wild cats and other beasts would come
to spend the day. But they always be-
haved well at her house. 70 get to her
little island in the middle of the lake
was a Ions log, which rested one end
on her yard. and the other on the land.
One day the parrot, who was a sreat
gossip, came and told the witch that
something wonderful was happening.
that there was a great ocean on the
other side of the world, and that in It
was an island. and on 1t lived a man.
This made the witch very angry, for
she did not want anyone else on earth,
so she made an awful magic and set out
on her broomstick steed to sail over the
seas. Sure enough out in the ocean some
land was peeping up, and on it was a
man.
So she sailed home again in a great
fury There is a man living on the
other side of the world, and he means
to steal my magic" said she to the owl
that came to perch on her shoulder and
hoot at the moon.
Now the parrot-who was a great
gossip-fiew away to where the man
was and told him about the island where
the old witch lived. She is a great
maker of magic" said the parrot. But
she is afraid you are coming to steal
It."
1T is very lonely here" replied the
man. Il would like to visit the witch
lust TO have some one to talk to about
the weather"
The parrot was glad to hear that She
knew that in the bottom of the cupboard
in the hut of the old witch was a big
bag of seeds tnat were the most deli
cious thing on earth TO parrots. But
the parrot was such mischief-maker
that the witch would never give her any.
Il tell you what | will do, Mr.. Man,
said the parrot. Il will get my friend,
the whale, to carry you over to where
the witch lives, and ask in return that
you do me the favor of giving me the
bag of seed which lies in the bottom OF
her cupboard"
The man said he would be glad to do
that, so the parrot got the whale to let
the man ride on its back till they
reached the far-off shores of Africa.

Wherever he thought that be might

"I am opposed to granting an ex-
tension of time to Morsou except on
certain conditions" said the governor.
His contract with the state expires
in April 1914. The states contract
with the federal government will not
expire until April, 1915. This board
is seeking an extension of time with
the government and not with Morson
when his contract with the state ex-
pires first. The trouble is the con-
tract the state has with Morson does
not safeguard the settlers. Now that
it will expire soon he should te forced
into new contract that will do 80.
II will favor giving him new
contract when he shows that he is
willing to safeguard the settlers and
gives a surety bond instead Of the
straw bond we now have With him.
He also should be forced to give an
itemized statement showing options
given, land involved. money received
and how spent.
II Will oppose asking the Federal
Government for any extension for
Morson until he gives new bond and
signs a new contract, in every way
possible"
Although the governor had not a
single supporter at the meeting. he
insisted that he would fight to the
last.

meeting said the denial of the extern
sion virtually would mean con6sca-
tion of the Desohutes Land Company g
