Willy Wood-Rat.
Tl ACK aTttle from the creek wher
t Mr. Gater lived and spent his
days, and plainly to b seen from
the tree where Miss Chameeon lived,
was another pile that looked for all the
world like a pile of rubbish. Neat and
round It was, though pernaps too tidy
appearing for a rubbish pile!
But it wasn't a rubbish pile dear
me, no!
It was the home of Willy Wood-rat.
You don't know Willy Wood-rat?
Then listen, and I'll lntroduca you to
him.
Willy Wood-rat is the most beautiful
and stylish member of the rat family,
and a very "pleasant creature to know.
He wears a soft, silky brownibi gray
coat and a vest of pure white. He has
dainty white mittens made of soft fur
that he pulls over his four little feet
do you wonder that he has the repu
tation of being the dandy of the rat
family?
Ypu will be glad to know that Willy,
with all his fine clothes, Is also good
and kind. Finery does not turn his
head not one bit! He is quite tt.e
kindest and gentlest of all the rat fam
ily, and that's more important than be
ing well dressed, isn't it? They say
that kindness makes one better looking
and surely they must be right For
Willy Wood-rat has none of that sly,
mean look in his face that makes us
afraid of most member of the rat
family. H has Just a nice, good, kind
look that Just fits with his manners
and his pretty clothes.
But what has this nice Willy Wood-
rat to do with a rubbish pile, you
ask? He lives in it.
But what has this nice Willy Wood-
rat to do with a rubbish pile, you ask?
tt lives in it.
But he wouldn't call it a rubbish
pile, for It is his nest, and he and Mrs.
Wood-rat work very hard to make it
Just as fine as ever a nest can be. It
takes nights and nights of hard work
to make that pile. Do you wonder they
are proud of It when it is finished?
First they choose the place whfe

Unusual Name of Unusual Play.
USAN ROCKS THE' BOAT," a
Trisngle-Flrie ' Arts ' photoplay,
featuring Dorothy Glsh, Is ti.e
unusual name of an unusual play that
is being pictured at the Columbia.
Susan rocks the family boat when
she becomes dissatisfied with the way
in which a rich society girl, such as
she le, spends her time. Susan gets
out of the boat by starting in . to do
settlement work.
She bas made this decision as the
results of reading the life of Joan of
Arc, and seeing herself in the char
acter of! the Maid of Orleans.
So Susan goes to her friend Thorn
ton the eminent criminal lawyer, and
persuades him to take her down into
the slums, where she founds and oper
ates the "Jeanne d'Arc" mission. The
building is leased from Cardigan, keep
er of a dive over the way, who becomes
enamoured of the girl
Susan has also made the acquaint
ance of Larry O'Neil, son of the late
political boss of the ward. Larry Is
utterly out of sympathy with any In
terference with the way of living in
the neighborhood, and is constrained to
tell Susan what he thinks and the in
habitants of the ward that they are
to keep away from a mission operated
with money wrung from them by Su
san's ancestors. Of cours. Susan re
sents his attitude. So there springs
up a sort of antagonistic regard be
tween Susan and Larry.
Time comes when Cardigan gets
Susan In a room over his dive, she
believing that he is going to convert
the place into an Ice cream parlor.
Word of her danger reaches Larry,
and he makes his way to her rescue.
There is a glorious scrap in succeed
ing scenes, and a triumphant finish.
"The Lion and the Girl." with funny
Joe Jackson, is the exceptionally funny
Keystone that completes the bill.
Program Especially for Children.
A program especially arranged for
children, and at the same time one
which will be equally entertaining to
older people, is the one which went on
at the Majestic today. First, there are
the May festival drill pictures, show
ing the 6500 youngsters at Multnomah
field. Next there is a highly humor
ous Buck Parvln comedy, entitled,
"Snow Stuff," from Charlie Van
Loan's series that ran in the Saturday
Evening Post some time back.
The feature film is a mutual master
piece, entitled, "Feathertop," a drama
of sharp colorings, based on Nathaniel
Hawthorne's story. "Feathertop." The
play is a satire on modern society.
Three brothers, as lads, name their
ambitions. One desires wealth, anoth
er would raise flowers, the third would
be a sailor. Years pass and each fol
lows the bent of his inclinations. To
the one who would raise flowers is
born a daughter. The one who gains
wealth comes from his city home to
visit his brother. He is accompanied
by two society lights a young woman
and a foppish young man. These turn
the country girls' head. She goes to
visit her uncle in the city, and her
foolishness exceeds even that of the
extremists in the city.
Reports of her excesses cause her
father's death. Later her rich uncle
dies, but, to her surprise, he, disgusted
at her conduct, leaves his wealth to his
other brother, and to the girl his only
bequest is the book, "Feathertop."
This other uncle Induces the girl to
read the book, and she sees depicted in
its straw man and pumpkin head the
society fops that she knows. Disgust
ed, she goes on a sea trip with her
uncle. There she meets the young
man she had forsaken when she came
to the city and finds in him the pro
tection of a true man. The Pathe
Weekly concludes the program.
Spring Thoughts on Circuses.
It's great to be a kid once more,
and hear the lions growl and roar, and
see the bears And feed the monks, and
sprinkle peanuts on the trunks of the
elephants, all in a row, that keep a
s winging to and fro; its grand, you
know, to be a kid and see the show.
It's great to sit and watch the clowns
perform their funny ups and downs
and see them laugh and hear them
chaff until you split your sides in
half; and watch those blokes play
wicked Jokes upon some unsuspecting
mokes, as fat and thin they amble in
to make you squeal and smile and grin.
It's fine to sit and watch the rings
that hold so many, many things with
horses here and horses there; and
pretty girls, -with golden curls, perform
ing scary mid-air whirls, and drivers
bold, in cars of gold, that race as in
the days of old; and monkeys that will
ride astride of ponies that are true and
tried, and throw a ball, but never fall
it's mighty hard to watch it all. It's
great to see th big circus parade, and
swallow circus lemonade, and see the
lights and wonder sights, and pretty
girls in spangled tights; and feast your
gaze upon the blaze that the tent dis
plays. Oh, once a year, its grand, you

collecting twigs ana grasses enough

When all that is done, they shape

as particular about their nests as they
are ugui meir ciotnes.
Last of all they line the nest with
a soft, downy ilning of feathers or the
covering of weed seeds till it is as fine
and soft as a bird's nest. And - there
they raise their little family.
You would never guess from the
look of the outside that the inside of
that rubbish was so soft and beauti
fully made! Don't you think Willy
Wood-rat a nice little fellow to know?
And some day you shall hear mor
about him.

mistakes. The body cares for rich
food more easily in cold weather than
at other seasons. Therefore it is wise
to avoid roast pork, sausage and such
meats as well as all rich puddings,
pies, desserts and sauces during the
summer months. At these seasons
there is no more wholesome and nec
essary food than simple, ppoperly pre

The reason Maid o' Clover Butter is first on the grocery
lists of thousands of housewives is because there is no ques

ask if it is fresh, whether it is pure, full weight, wholesome
and of highest quality she knows that it is all this and
more.

Highest Quality
There's never a variance in the goodness of this Highest Quality Table
Butter. It's always the same in color, quality, freshness and extra
flavor. The process of making Maid o'Clover Butter is so highly

every other pound.
It costs no more to enjoy this exceptional butter than it does to

Censorship Vigorously Attacked.
Washington, May 25. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)-
A vigorous attack on federal censor
ship for moving pictures as both un
necessary and harmful Is made in a
minority report from th house com
mittee on education, penned by Con
gressman F. W. Dalllnger of Massa
chusetts. "I am firmly convinced." says Mr.
Dalllnger. "that If thl bill should be
come a law It 1 not only possible,
but extremely probable, that moving
picture films setting forth the need
of national preparedness, portraying
the evil of the white slav traffic,
of intemperance and even of child
labor might be refuaed a license.
"In my opinion those who are in
terested In 'progress and reform are
the very ones who should ' be most
vitally interested In keeping abso
lutely fre from arbitrary control this
latest' and most powerful instrument
of free thought expression."
In the report, signed by Mr. Dallln
ger, Powers of Kentucky, Piatt of
New York and Rucker of Missouri, the
same Idea is elaborated. It Is pointed
out that four states have state boards
of censorship, and in' two result of
this sort are alleged to have followed.
It Is stated that In Ohio a ' play de
picting a manufacturer who gave lib
erally to charity but oppressed his
employes was suppressed on the
ground that it tended to excite class
feeling, and in Pennsylvania the
"Battle Cry of Peace" was vetoed be
cause it tended to a breach of neu
trality and Incited military spirit.
The minority of the committee takes
the view that all the federal legisla
tion needed is an amendment to the
penal code barring Improper films
from Interstate transportation. Lo
cal police regulations are ample, It Is
declared.
The moving picture is declared by
the minority of the committee to be
akin to the right of free speech and

THE NEW KITCHENETTE was
built this season to overcom
th congestion encountered last
year in the smaller kitchenette
now relegated to storeroom pur
poses. The new building is airy
nd spotlessly clean. Maids ar
in attendance daily to aist pic
nickers in the preparation of hot
beverages. The kitchenette is not
store. No coffee, tea or choco
late, sugar or other provisions can
be obtained at th kitchenette. It
is a station for picnic parties
where coffee can be prepared, but
it is essential that picnickers bring
their own materials. Maids will
assist you in every way, but you
must .bring your own coffee pot
or vessel to carry yonr tea or cof
fee from th kitchenette to your
table. Thar is no charge for
kitchenette service.
On Saturday, May 27, the Presi
dents' Conference of Portland
women's clubs will hold a monster

organisations, clubs, auxiliaries and

feature program hat been ar
ranged for the day, including a
skit produced by the Women's
Press Club, specialty numbers, and
Maypole dance by a score of
young girls.
The Columbian Ladies' Orches
tra of 18 pieces, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Sherman Brown, will
take an active part in the day
program with solo numbers by
