good demand for the sawed product.
Some mills, It is stated, will have to
close down for several weeks. unless
the logging camps come to their res.
cue shortly.
The situation looks good to the log

Animals widely diversified by ma.

When Gentry Brothers, the pioneers
IN trained animal shows began their
career they had but little more than
confidence in themselves and their
ability as trainers and business men.
They started with the lowly animals.
Their first troup numbered nothing
more than a few ponies, few dogs
and two common house cats.
As trainers they became great stu

This was done after long practice and

their little courses they became quite

When the elephants were first In

Maurice e. Connelly's election as
borough president in Queens is pleas
ing, particularly to motorists, because
among other things 1t means contin;
uance in office Of G. Rowland Leavitt'
superintendent of highways in Queens.
MIR. Leavitt is responsible for the pres
emit good condition Of many miles OF
fine roads in the borough, helped
thereto by Borough President Con-
nelly, who appointed him.
There are one hundred and sixty
miles of roads of best type In Queens,
and many more miles OF improved
macadam highways. The continuance
of the administration will mean more
good roads built, and furthermore will
mean that the contractors are held to
their fve-year guarantees.
Automobiles have taken a great
deal of interest in Connelly's campaign
and it was not so long ago that he and
Leavitt, as well as George McAneny,
were guests of honor at dinner at
the Manhattan Automobile Club.
"Queenie," who used to be an ele-

the hide of the once famous pachy-

fifty years old when she was killed
couple of yaers ago because old age
had made her temper uncertain. She
was contemporary of Jumbo" and
was brought to this country in 1910.
She was in various museums and was
at the Hippodrome at the time Of her
death.

Several hundred children listened,
wlde-eyed, to the recital.
Even the very littlest ssirl who was too
small 70 sit alone on the floor and had
clamhered into Miss Lathrop's lap. was
absorbed by the wonderful adventures
of Snow White.
Everybody Listened.
But everybody listened carefully to
hear what happened to Snow White.
What matter if they had read it and
heard it told many times? Old friends,
particularly if they are fairy tales, are
best of all.
And that is the nice thing about fairy

better they are. The majority of the

been killed" continued Miss Lathrop.
But just as he found her in the forest
a wild boar crossed their path. TIE
Huntsman loved Snow White, so he
slew the boar instead.
And Snow White wandered alone in
the forest. 1t was getting dark. and
she was greatly frightened''-here doz-
ems of small shoulders shrugged in

house in the heart Of the forest. There
was no one at home, but there were

But Snow White was very tired, so
after she had eaten she fell fast asleep
