find that according to the best esti-
mate obtainable, a building with a
seating capacity of 500 would cost
not less than $4,000, and maybe
more. The unanimous decision not
to build, was made with reluctance.
Moreover there is an element Of
overhead expense entering into the
maintenance of a fair, such as
harvesting the hay crop, improving
the track, painting the buildings,
cleaning up the grounds, grading,
fencing, taking care of overflow ex-
hibits and numerous other things
not herein mentioned-sO much to
be done all the time, SO that it is
necessary to keep part of the
funds subject to check at all times
to meet the outlay and upkeep
which are continually demanding at
tention. Of course the board could
obtain credit and borrow money
to erect needed buildings, but they
believe it would be poor manage

A visit to a Mouse,s Home

The Democrat happened to get
hold of little story written by a
little girl not yet quite eleven years
old, and who is in the sixth grade of
the schools here. 1t is such pret-
ty story--so well told, and is pub
lished exactly as originally written
with the exception of one or two
very slight corrections, and a little
change in punctuation. It was writ
ten by Miss Lucille Gaylord who
looked at picture and then set her
imagination at work:
One day little girl was lying be-
fore a fireplace looking at her new
picture book. Her name was Mary
All at once she saw a little mouse
sitting before her, and she under
stood all that the mouse said.
1t said to her: ''I don't want you
to set any more traps to catch the
rats and mice, and / wish that you
would lock up the cat, and last OF
all | want you to come and visit
me-"
Mary answered: II will go and
visit you, but how am I to get into
your house; the door is too small
for me to push through"
Here is some magic water, and
after you drink it you will become
smaller so that you can get into my
house." replied the mouse.
Mary went with the little mouse
and when they reached the door OF
the mouse's home he gave her some
of the magic water and she grew SO
small that she could get through the
door easily. When she entered the
mouse's home she saw mother
mouse and two baby mice. That
evening there was a party for all the
mice, and Mary was invited
She had a very nice time at the par
ty and she played with the baby
mice while the older ones had a
meeting.
When she went back to the
mouse's home she saw a big cake
on the table, with the word Mary on
it. The cake had ten candles on it
and then she remembered that it
was her birthday, but she wondered
how the mice had found it out. She
told them that she appreciated it
very much and that she thought it
was very pretty. The mice told her
that the cake was not to be eaten
until she wanted to become small.
then she could eat slice of it and
she would become small Then they
gave her some magic water and they
told her not to drink it unless she
wanted to become her own size
again.
After that Mary left the mouse's
home-and when she woke up she
was lying before the fireplace. Then
she sighed: at was only a dream.
but what an exciting dream 1t was,"
Then she shut off the traps and
locked up the cat and then She told
her mother the dream.

Whv He Likes the Democrat

/ don't take the Morgan County
Democrat just to have shaving pa
per, or to wrap lunches in The
Times Recorder is just as good pa
per as yours for the former purpose
and for the latter purpose the pink
savory sheets of the Police Gazette
are far better than yours.
I take the Morgan County Demo
crat because believe it is the best
weekly county paper in the country
Morgan is not my home county. In
the papers of my county one must
read four liners on "Try Castor
Royal Baking Powder in your next
cake" to get one line of items, and
besides they have no correspondents
like Byron. I do not know all the
people Byron writes about, but that
would make no difference would
read the Meigs items first even if ]
did not know a soul that he men
tions.
The county paper can not compete
with the large city dailes in giving
us the world news. But we prodi-
gals must have the news and we
want it as Byron writes it. In fact,
osiO Tic oCCOuu ItllOW L ever
saw or heard of, who could write
local items so that everybody wants
to read them. / always read this
second mans items when | never
knew a single individual he men
toned Byron has him skinned. .
We want to know who has new
babies, and whom they look like,
when he dares tell. In short we
want the news just as Byron writes
it. Keep that fellow on your staff.
] am not going to suggest that you
look up four or five others just like
him in different parts Of the county.
That is too much to expect. A paper
with one such correspondent ought
to be satisfied.
BY the way, we like very much
to read the items by the other cor
respondents too, particularly those
that speak of people we know much
better than we do some of those
from Muttonburg. (Do they call it
that yet, l wonder?)
Let Reinersville and Center come
a little oftener, and we would be
pleased if you could find one or two
correspondents beyond the county
line.-F. A. Foraker.
