company will lose thousands of dollars of bust
ness here if the rates go above the forty cent
mark.
On the other hand, if the company keeps the
present rate or even reduces it, more patronage
will be obtained. Again, if the rate is made
attractive many persons who now use coal in
their furnaces will be tempted to introduce gas
because the service is cleaner and does away
with the carrying in Of coal and the carrying out
of ashes.
Consumers of fuel have been slow in adopt
ing gas because of the forty cent rate now in OPP
GRAFTON. The gas expert at Columbus Ohio, who
expressed surprise at the small consumption of
gas here in comparison with the amount used in
the Ohio city was right when he asserted that
lower rates here would mean an increase in bust
ness for the company, and at the same time
mean bigger revenues.
If the city had gone ahead and compromised
with the company on fifty cent rate, it is nat
ural to presume that consumption would have
fallen off, the result being that sooner later,
the company would again have appeared before
the state public service commission and asked
for an increase in order to meet operating ex-
penses and make fair return on its investment.

The
Sandman Story
For Tonight

The fairies like music just like you
do They don't have pianos and violins
and other instruments like we have
but they have their minds just the
same. But OF all their musicians, they
liked their fiddler best. And the fid.
dler was big green grasshopper
Whenever the fairies were going to
have a dance or anything like that the
| queen would send one of her messen-
| gers to old man Hop-a-do, the very
best grasshopper fiddler in all Fairy
land.
Old man Hop-a-do would not have a
fiddle like real men have. When he
wanted to play for the fairies he had
70 sit down and then draw his legs
across each cher. 1t made the most
beautiful music that any of the fairies
had ever heard.
One night the fairies were having a
big dance. And old man Hopa-do was
playing his very best. But suddenly
there was a noise, and before any Of
the fairies could do anything old man
Hop-a-do was whisked away.
The fairy queen was very surprised
at this and sent her policemen fairies
to see what the trouble could be-
While they were trying to find out
what had happened to old man Hop-a-
do, the fairies sat around and talked,
because they had no music to dance
by.
BY and by the captain of the police
men fairies came up to the queen.
Your majesty" he said, I'VE have
found old man Hop-a-do, but we could
not get him. He was whisked away
by the Goblin Growley-grew for some
COLLINS who are giving a party to-
night
How dare they steal old man Hop
a.dC?' said thc queen, and she was

very mad. Come here, Meta, and help
me get old man Hop-a-do back"
Meta was the fairy queens favorite
She was very wise fairy and knew
all about making the COLLINS behave
themselves. When Mita came to the
queen and heard the news she looked
very grave and began to think.
Think hard, Meta" said the queen
for we must have old man Hop-a-do
back again
You must send your very prettiest
fairies to the goblin party" Meta told
the queen. When they get there they
must change themselves into COLLINS
and play with the real COLLINS. Then
when they have made friends with
them they can turn old man Hop-a-do
into a goblin, and he can come back
with them"
The queen thought this very good
idea. SO she called some of her very
prettiest fairies and told them the
play. AS soon as the queen had told
them they got out their wands and
turned themselves into COLLINS. Now
they were not ugly COLLINS like the
real ones were. but pretty little girl
COLLINS that were just as sweet as
sweet could be.
After they were all turned to COLLINS
they scampered away to the real COB
Inns party. AS soon as the real COLLINS
saw all the pretty little girl COLLINS
coming they went to meet them. They
asked them TO come and play and
danced with them and had a good
time.
But the fairies were not going to
forget old man Hop-a-do and what the
queen had told them, although they
were having very nice time. Soon
one of them went up to old man Hop
ado and told him who she was.
Keep on playing, old man Hop-a-
do" she said, land when you have
finished this piece ] will change you
into a goblin and you must run back
to the queen just as fast as you can.
When we get back we will make you
a grasshopper once more"
So old man Hop-a-dO went on play
ing till he had finished the piece.
Then, quick as flash, the fairy
changed him into a goblin and he ran
back to the fairy queen Now, the
reason the real COLLINS did not see all
this was because the little fairy COB
Inns were so pretty they were talking
TO them and not noticing old man Hop
ado.
But after awhile they did find out
about the fiddler, and were very mad
They were SO mad they began to fight
among themselves. This gave the
fairies just the chance they wanted, SO
they hurried back to the queen and

Fight for Cheaper Gas

The city authorities are on the right track in
opposing compromise with the Richmond Light,
Heat & Power company on the gas rate problem.
The final gas rate schedule ought to be based on
the theory which the gas utilities in Ohio are
using, namely that by increasing the amount of
gas used by the consumers through cheap rates,
the companies will be able to make bigger profits.
No one will deny that if gas rates are ad-
vanced above the forty cent schedule. hundreds
of patrons will order the service cut off and will
