Ape AL is MADE
BY VOC NAL
EDUCATION BOARD

Washington, Feb. PA call is
being sent cut by the Federal Board
for Vocational Education at Wash
ington to patriotic individuals all
over the country asking assistance in
getting the board in touch with re-
turned soldiers who have been dis
abled, but who are making an at
tempt to work at some occupation,
and are not succeeding well.
The Federal Board offers to these
men the chance of over 400 trades.
occupations and callings from which
to select one, and in which the board
will make the student proficient. He
will be allowed $65 month support
while in training If he is married
and has children there will be al
lowed $50 month for his wife and
$40 month for each child up to
three. All expenses incident to the
course of training are paid by the
Federal Board. When he has finished
and is pronounced competent, there
will have been found for him a posi-
ton in that line for which he has
been re-educated, and preferably in
or near his former home. This place
lnent, wherever possible, is made SO
as not to interfere with ties, a5sOcla-
tions and interests which the man
may have. When he qualities after
a trial, and is pronounced competent,
his pay begins, which is the same as
that received by other competent men
doing the same work. His support al
lowance ceases when he goes on the
payroll, but at the same time his
compensation from the War Risk In
surance Bureau begins and supple
ments his income. This compensa-
ton is absolutely unaffected by what
ever he may be able to earn
The Federal Board welcomes COR
respondence from those men who
have tried to "carry on" and find
they are hampered by their dsabili-
ties. The interest of citizens who
may know of such cases is always
welcomed and those who send into
the board at Washington the ad-
dresses of men who are making a
brave but unavailing struggle, are
conferring a favor upon those men
because they are opening the door
of opportunity to all such.

IN YUMA SECTION

Edward R. German, well known
local man, is becoming heavily inter-
ested in the Yuma section, says the
Yuma Sun in the following story:
"When Dill S. Moss and Eliza De
Luce sold to Edward r. German, of
Imperial Valley, .and in the Yuma
valley the total value of which was
$140,500, the largest real estate deal
which has been completed in or about
Yuma for some time was made.
"Mr. German is prominent in I'm
perial Valley farming circles and is
known in the valley as large and
wealthy land owner. Last year as
an experiment, Mr.. German pur-
chased an eight-acre plot of ground
in the Yuma Valley, and the returns
from his purchase were so satisfac-
tory that he has now invested con-
siderable part of his personal for
tune in Yuma Valley real estate. Mir.
German is the president of the I'M
perial Valley Long Staple Cotton
Growers Association, and is well
known in cotton circles of that sec
tion of the country.
''The fact that Mr.. German has
seen fit to invest in Yuma valley
real estate speaks we'll for this part
of the country.

CHILDREN'S
SUNRISE STORES
UNCLE iwIcGIY AND The
WASHING MACHINE

One dsy when Uncle wiggily Lons-
ears had taken Baby Bunty to the
ave and ten cent store they saw .
crowd Of animal ladies at one end OF
a counter.
"oh. Uncle wisgiiy!" called Baby
Bunty. Let's. go see what they're
selling.,/
when they reached the counter
where the crowd was gathered they
saw a little rat gentleman selling
washing machines.
Lets buy one for Nurse Jane"
said Uncle wigsily.
.'we'u wash the clothes tomorrow"
said Nurse Jane when Uncle Wiggi-
ly's gift came home.
Nurse Jane and Baby Bunty got
ready to wash.
Just as Nurse Jane was going to
turn the clothes into the washing
machine the telephone rang.
IT'S for you. Nurse Jane" said
Baby Bunty, who had answered the
phone. You talk and III go upstairs
and get some OF nay dolls clothes.
They need washing. too"
Now, while Nurse Jane was at the
telephone talking to Mrs. stubtail. the
bad old Skeezicks hid himself away
In the bottom of the basket OF clothes.
While Baby Bunty was upstairs and
Nurse Jane was at the telephone Un-
Gle wiggily happened TO stroll into
the laundry. And when he saw the
basket of clothes that were not yet
washed. and the washing machine he
said: -
Baby Bunty and Nurse Jane have
not had time to wash the clothes.
I'll put them in the machine and give
it few twists and turns myself"
And before the bad Skeezicks could
flop out from under the clothes the
rabbit gentleman tipped the clothes,
skeezicks and all into the tub of soap
and water.
And Just as Nurse Jane and Baby
Bunty came into the kitchen, there
sounded from the washing machine
such distressful cries as:
''Oh. wow, Oh. let me out""
My goodness. what's that?" cried
Nurse Jane.
Uncle wiggily opened the cover.
Out popped the Skeezicks, all wet and
covered with soapsuds.
This is too much for me-" cried
the Skee. and away he ran.
