TT THE married women OF Texas are

L to anybody, it's dollars to doughnuts
the name OF Mrs Hortensc Ward will be
found on the pedestal.
Not that Mrs. Ward is what you might
call monumental. In the first place, she
isn't big enough. In the second place.
one cannot imagine her keeping still Tor
years at a stretch, as all wcll-behaVed
monuments are expected to do.
Nevertheless Mrs. Ward deserves TO be
put on a pedestal. And IL is the married
Texanesses that ought to put her there
IL they have any sense of gratitude what
ever.
Mrs. Ward Is herself "a married Tex
aness." She lives at Houston. IL is
through a piece of legislation known in
the Lone Star State as House bill - that
Mrs. Ward has become one Of the most
significant feminine figures in the coun-
try. House bill - Is one OF the most
important laws affecting women that
have been placed on the statute books in
recent years. And the lions share of
the credit for II belongs to Mrs. Ward.
Before II was passed. a married wom-
ans property rights in Texas would have

could even take her wages and spend

Do such laws seem a relic of the dark
ages? Well. they not only existed in Tex
as a year ago, but IL was hard fight to
get better ones in their place.

Ward found time to do other things at

She studied law. was admitted to the
bar, and now practices in partnership
with her husband. Their daughter is In
the Office with them: so this seems to bc
a particularly congenial family circle.
In 1911 Mrs. Ward wrote short sum

property OF married women. The whole
thing contained less than a dozen sen
tences. but every one Of them showed
n naked truth which wasn't pleasant 10

were distributed. Then Mrs. Ward began

WHO'S WHOAMONG WOMEN
OF BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT?

When their bill was introduced, Mrs.
Ward and her fellow-champions found
that they had to fight two rival bills
whose sponsors were suspected Of work
ing together The chances Of getting
Mrs. Wards bill into the senate seemed
so slim that her friends were ready to
place a chair for her where she could go
away back and sit down.
Means Smiling Front.
But sitting down is not Mrs Wards IA
vorite athletic diversion. She maneu-
vered her bill through and saw II sent to
the governor. But still her troubles were
not over. The governor returned IT with
the comment that the Bible recognized
the husband as the head of the family:
and he intimated that the Texas laws
would be nothing If not Biblical.
He consented. however, to sign the bill
II the section allowing married women
to make contracts was changed. This
was done-nlne-tenths of a loaf seemed
better than none-and the bill passed. Its
provisions are summarized as follows:
1T gives the married women of Texas
the ownership of their separate property.
Of their personal earnings. OF the rents
from their lands. the interest from their
bonds the dividends from their stocks.
but checked by the requirement that b.
fore they can actually convey or encUm-
her their lands or actually transfer their
stocks or bonds they must have their
husbands consent"
MRS Ward is not the grim and repellcnt
sort Of tighter. She always wears a smil-
ing front. Since she has gained for the
women Of Texas the privileges conveyed
in House bill % she certainly has the uu-

The Crazy Mountain School

flowers were placed in textbooks and
magazines. and in the absence Of a flower
press the boys and girls would sit on
them. At home the flowers were put in
books under the heaviest weights that
could be found. One boy placed two sacks
OF flour on the books. another tool
chest. while third said the heaviest
thing he could find was the large
bucket in which his father carried the
feed to the pigs. The girls resorted to
just as ingenious expedients. utilizing
trunks. bureaus, and even one leg of a
he'd in which adults were sleeping. in
order that the necessary amount of pres
sure might be obtained.
When the days of collecting and press
ing the flowers were over. all Of the
specimens were brought together, and
after the very best ones had been Sc
lected, each was carefully mounted on
white cardboard. and the entire coIIec-
tion Of sixty-eight wild flowers was sent
to the State department of education
to be entered at the fair. When the
judges gave their decision il was found
that the Crazy Mountain School had won
the first prize. the blue ribbon and the
s.. for the best collection of wild flowers
from any school in the State.
On the day Of the prize award the rural
inspector stood in the little booth and
called the attention of the bankers and
business men to the splendid exhibit AMI
TO the pictures of the little school. When
Cne OF the leading merchants saw it, he
said: GO and tell the people of Park
County that boys and girls who will dp
work like that are entitled to a better
schoolhouse and better equipment, and
tell them that as soon as they get the
house they can come to my store and get
anything in II without money or without
price: for the best business men as well
as the best school men realize that
boys and girls who do faithful work with
what they have will make the men and
women who will do good work when the

how Crazy Mountain school did its part
in rural betterment:
The Crazy Mountain schoolhouse is a

tar paper. Cracks in the floor were so
hig that pencils easily fell through them.

size to use as an individual chair. and
