unawares,
 ing one Of the Meadow Mouse tamil,
 In spite of such unpleasant neigh bors. the big Meadow Mouse family managed to have many q gay trolio under the stars on crisp winter nights, Sometimes Johnnie Green. wandering over the fields on anoNshoes hy day noticed lacy traCery on the snow. II was the tracks of the tiny toes of Master Meadow Mouse and his dozens of cousins. At first Johnnie almost thought tbat he had stumbled upon the scene of revel of fairy mice. He did not know then that the Meadow Mouse family had village of their own right under his feet.
 But Solomon owl and Simon Screecher and old Rough leg, the hawk, knew all about the habits of the villagers. In fact they sometimes complained about the way the Mea- dow Mouse family had built their tunnels They agreed that there were too many holes leading down to the village streets, Ii gave the MeadoW Mouse people too many openings into which to dive in case of sudden surprise when they were having a moonlight party.
 If they ever invited me 10 one Of their affairs wouldn't care what they did Solomon owl remarked one evening to his whistling cousin. Si mon Screecher, 'If they'd welcome me just once to one of their dances I'd be satistied'
 ''It's plain that they don't like you." his cousin remarked
 Nor you. either." Solomon Owl boomed And then all at once he burst forth with q peal of ehostly laughter. w ha wha. Whoo-ah,"
 Now Master Meadow Mouse had just crept out of one of his door ways and was looking up at the stars when that shirery sound came rolling out of the woods. When he heard it. he turned quickly and hurried back where he came from,

CAN'T FIGURE
ENOUGH GAIN
TO Fl ELECT Z EN-
Kansas Democrats Will
Have to Overcome Too
Large 4 Majority
BY A. l. Shuitx

Topeka Nov. Mixed with B0ur-
, bon hope and ambitions for next
Tuesday Is the solution # big
mathematic problem Democrat state
headquarters which has gone through
the campaign with loud expressions
Of hope and confidence hasn't been
able to develop very satisfactory
set Of figures as to just where the
needed votes are coming from. In
order to win the governorship Tues
day the Bourbons must make an
average net gain Of 1000 votes to
the county over 1920.
There are only 105 counties in the
state. OF these nineteen counties
cast fewer than 1000 votes on the
governOrship two years ago. There
were fourteen counties which pOlled
fewer than 1000 votes on the Allen
Davis scrap, while five counties cast
fewer than 500 votes each. OF the
remaining counties 20 have cOmpar-
atively large labor votes where
Davis big gains were made in 1920.
SO the Democrat task for next Tues
day is to hold its 1920 support in the
20 labor counties and win an extra
1O5, 900 votes in the remaining ~
counties Of which only 81 cast more
than 1000 votes.
While the lead pencil is working
at Democrat state headquarters this
week and the orators are busy out
on the stump there is lot of cOnsid-
Grafton for the normal Republican
majority Of 150,O 900 to 100000 reg
istered two years ago. Jonathan M.
Davis, the present gOvernorship nom
inee, ran against Governor Allen at
that time and through an attack on
the industrial court law cut the
Allen majority to 100000. He needs
an average gain of 1000 to the coun-
ty. In other words, he must hold
every vote secured in 1920 and In
duce 500 men and women in every
to change from Allen support
two years ago to Davis adherence
this year.
1t isn't exactly an easy matter to
figure net flop Of $1,000 voters in
HI OIL year. Auutu " tAC AAoAuANt
Ing situation which has confronted
tho Bourbons in the last week Of the
campaign in an element of doubt ms
to the united loyalty which organic
ed labor will show in its opposition
t the industrial court law this year.
good many strikers who quit their
jobs in the last two years have found
it necessary to seek other employ
ment and many have moved from
The state. There is feeling that
many of the new men may show
rather friendly feeling toward the
aw. Then, too, failure to break
lown the law through strikes has
had tendency to make
for the act.
Hope of the Democrats Is almost
'ntirely in the lethargy shown by tho
lverage voter and a feeling that
somehow they will cash all rural dis
ontent. But deliverance of all of
hese votes on election day isn't an
asy matter to figure and the cam
'aign is going into the finish in n
urst of red fire Ofatory.
