Now what do you suppose Cousin
Bruin offered for the bill of fare?
You will never guess. He took Bob
by Skunk down to the swamp. And
what a pretty place it was-all
around the edge of it grew golden
rod, purple asters, joe-pye-weed, and
many other flowers; and the colors
were so bright and gay that Mother
Nature seemed a better gardener
than anybody in the world. Cousin
Bruin had only one course for the
dinner he offered Bobby Skunk, and
that was Skunk Cabbage! And when
poor Bobby Skunk saw what there
was to eat, he stuck up his nose in
perfect disgust. I am sorry to say,
he turned tail without even saying,
"eXcuse me-" and made off through
the woods. Bobby Skunk must have
had miserable training in table
manners, for you know we are all
taught to try and eat, even if we
don't like it bit. But Bobby Skunk
was very rude indeed.
Cousin Bruin didn't care at all.
He just laughed, and called out after
Bobby Skunk: "Well, lam surprised.
l thought you would like Skunk Cab
bage better than anything else in
the world, for it is named for your
family, and it has the SAME kind of
cologne that you use, ard I was sure
that l was having a great dinner fer
you. But never mind, will eat it
all myself"
But the angry Bobby Skunk went
off snuffling and grunting through
the forest, while Cousin Bruin ate
all of the skunk cabbage by himself.
"They all say" said Cousin Bruin,
'that it is so expensive to entertain
company. Now it is no trick at all.
The whole secret of it is to just have
something to eat that no one wants
but yourself, and that's simple"

(By Associated Press)

PITTSBURGH, June State spo-

the conductor and motorman of an

Prospect That the Vote on
Tuesday Will Be
Heavy.
OPPOSITION VERY ACTIVE
All the Towns Best citi-
zens in Favor of the
Measure.

Interest In the charter election
which will take place In Fairmont
Tuesday of next week is beginning to
develop to a degree that is a trifle
surprising in view of the apathy that
characterized the early period. There
is prospect now that the vote will
be quite large, and If the friends of the
proposed charter hope to win they
will have to make point not only OF
getting out to the polls themselves but
also of seeing that every one else
whom they can persuade to vote their
way does SO.
The reason for this Is that those
who for one reason and another are
opposed to the change in the city gov.
ernment which the ratification of the
charter would precipitate have been
conducting still hunt against 1t, and
they have so misrepresented the mat
ter in such a variety of ways that
many people who really ought to be
heartily for the new form OF munich
pal government are thinking of oppos.
ing it.
The friends of the charter on the
other hand have done very little, but
the indications now are that they will
be little more active during the few
hours that remain before the polls
close Tuesday evening. From the
start practically every important citi.
zen of Falrmonte has been behind this
movement. Democrats and RepubIf.
cans worked together to get the
amendments to the charter in shape
and through the legislature and 1t is
expected that there will be the same
kind of team work in favor of getting
the charter approved by the people.
The explanation for this cutting
across party lines lies In the fact that
Fairmont is up against a stone wall.
The city government is without funds
or the power to raise them. Municipal
needs are many and they are becom-
ing more insistent all the time. II the
city government is to go along for an
other year on the same terms officials
had to be contended with at City hall
during the past year break downs sim
liar to the one which occurred in the
Water department last summer may
be expected in other departments.
So, men who have large investments
III Ills CITY, anu lat Si6hISu ouslhoeS
men generally, realize that something
must be done to make improvements
possible. They know that If the city
cannot go forward 1t must go back and
they are most anxious to see that 1t
goes forward.
The election will be held on Tues
day at the usual municipal polling
places and the law requires that the
polls open as soon as practicable aft
er sunrise but not before and remain
open until sun set. Officially the sun
rises at 4:2s and it sets at 1885. The
election will be conducted by COM
missioners who were appointed some
time ago by Judge Raymond In accord
ance with power conferred upon him
In the amendments to the charter
passed by the legislature.
