Now tell us how you happened to become such mean old Witch Wig gins!" Raggedy Ann said as she handed the old Witch a glass of ice cream soda water.
 "The nice, kind Grocery boy has already told us that you are his aunt, and that you left your nice pretty lit- tie cottage in his neighborhood and disappeared. And that he searched for you until he discovered you had gone to live in a queer little house in the top Of a great oak tree. We know all Of that part of the story,but what we would like for you to tell us is how you happened te change from a nice old lady into a mean old Witch Wig gins"
 "Then I shall tell you!" the Witch replied. Just ss the nice Grocery boy says, I am his aunt and lived in a pretty little white cottage with lovely flowers growing all about and I was very happy indeed with all my friends living around me. One day I went out into the deep. deep woods 10 pick herbs to make pink tea with and I walked and walked until I came 10 a strange place where l had never been before. There was funny little house made out of sticks and mud and 1t looked very much like a mud tlauber's nest. You know what a
 mud dauber's nest is, don't you?" she asked the Raggedys
 "Tell us what q mud dauber's nest is. please." Rasgedy Andy said.
 "A mud dauber's nest Is nest made by a wasp. It Is made of mud or clay.
 'The wasp goes to q muddy place and picks up the mud in it's mouth and carries it 10 where it wishes to | build its nest and with the mud il | builds little long round house with a hole at the bottom. If you should tsks one of the mud dauber's nests; | they are us1aliy built up under the caves of buildings; and lay 1t down ! 1st, you would see just how the queer | little house in the woods looked wher I came upon 1t that day. did not in- tend stopping at the queer house al all. but I tri7ped and fell. my spec facles jumped from my noss and shrinking a stone, just Broke intc smithereens.

I have reason to believe that she covets mine as vel, The other night she and Karl and were sitting alone at a rcstau- rant table. Alice had made such fuss about her pearls that out Of sheep peryerseness put that string Of mine on. The moment her eyes caught them, a peculiar look came on her face, and she said in a rather tight tipped manner 10 Karl:
 Kari, dear. now that I see Leslie's pearls, I think they are more besnti- ful thsn mine. or course her string is not as long, but the pearls seem of better quality"
 Karl looked very uncomfortable. and I tried to change the subject of conversation by saying.
 'Did you and your friend. Betty Etoksly. ever finish that novel you were vriting7"
 NO" she answered. 'rBetty. you know. married a title. and you got In such a nixup win your pearls that didn't dare write 1t up fer fear John would find it out.

club members had stock, vegetables
and exhibits of rope tying, besides.
Rain Saturday afternoon spoiled the
stock parade which had promised to
be the best put on here. 1t also
spoiled the attendance for afternoon
and evening of that day. However, it
is the one criticism that can be made
of the entire fair and the fair board
can hardly be held responsible in this
case. Plans for a better and bigger
fair for the sixth annual West Keno
sha county fair are already under way
and with the excellent spirit of Coop
Grafton shown this past week, they
will undoubtedly be carried out an
other year.

American Legion.
Saturday night, October 4th, the
dan Terrace orchestra from Kenosha
to play for their fall dance at the
Rademacker pavilion at Twin Lakes.
Owing to the fact that the Legion
dance at Twin Lakes this spring at
tracted capacity attendance for the
pavilion much interest is being shown
in this affair Tickets purchased in
advance cost from / to so cents but
bought at the door will be fifty cents
straight and every man, woman and
child who attends will have to have
an admittance card. The post gives
away $500 dollar Radiola Super He
trodyne to the lucky admission ticket
holder Saturday night.
Last spring an orchestra of five
pieces furnished the music for the
Legion dance but was entirely made
quate for the size of the crowd so the
Post has secured an eight-piece or
chestra for Saturday night.
The Fred Semrau Post had the con-
cessions at the West Kenosha county
fair but owing to the rain the last
day their profits were very small but
the Post feels well satisfied with the
generous patronage by the people of
the community at their stands.
There was special meeting of the
Post members Monday night to decide
on the amusements to be given at the
dance next Saturday night to provide
for those who may not care to dance.
Amongst them will be the very popu-
lar Keno game. This will be in the
annex to the pavilion along with 9TH
er amusements.
Ollie Lubeno of Silver Lake has de-
clared his intention of joining the
