lpany in the suit tried involving re-
lcording fees Of the company's con-
tracts. Several years ago when the
company was selling its water con
tracts a former board Of county
commissioners made an arrange I
meni with the company whereby it
paid a flat price per contract as
recording fees instead of the rate
per folio as provided by statute. A
later board Instituted suit to recOv-
er the difference between this flat
price and the statutory price and
the county won.

Nebuchadnezzar
By Walt Mason

The children saw him eating grass.
What brought him down to such a
pass?" they asked, and gazed in wonGer.
A nearby sage replied: 81 ween. he read
the Health Hints magazine, and so he's
scared, by thunder That publication
teaches man that poison turks in every
can sold by the village grocer; and every
time he eats a pie, or on doughnut casts
his eye, he to the grave is closer. The
milk We drink, the steak we chew, will
raise a grievous hOwdydo inside our
anguished bodies; there's poison in our
scrambled prunes, there's verdigris upon
our spoons, and death is in our toddies.
The modern BOrgias ply their trade in
shops where eatables are made, they
dope our loaves and fishes; there's poison
in the purple ink that poets, when
they're thirsty, drink, and doom in all
our dishes. And cen the water from the
well has germs that make the drinkers
yell, If it has known no filter; what
wonder, then, o children sweet, if good
old Neb has chilly feet and stomach out
OF kIlter? He's scared to death by what
he reads, and so on hands and knees re
feeds, and fills himself with forage; no
man can read the weird Health Hints
in the public prints, and still
retain hls courage. "-COpyright -9I3, by
