IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD

California is in the process of being rediscoVered
by the world at large Less than four score years ago
the world thrilled at the magic name and
all because of the chance discovery of gold
From the east, the south, and in fact from distant
parts of the world they came brave men and true to
found of empire builders such as the world had
never before known.
Californa's wealth then came forth only in the
form of gold. Today this is but one OF an infinite
number of her resources. More wealth annually IS
produced from certain of her golden fruits than those
first pioneers produced from all the gravel beds OF
the streams and the veins of the mountains.
And today the dissemination of this truth is again
focusing the eyes of the world California. But
this time it is with greater appeal. 1t is a call to
those who seek better living conditions whose pulse
srs with this last call of the west for settlers on
land richer than that of the Nile.
We, well as other communities of California,
will profit by this opportunity of expansion and devel-
opment only through united effort. Community up
building is problem parallel to that of business en-
terprise.
AS Kpng phrased it in the days of the Great
War, when he appealing for organized effort:
"It amt the individuals the army whole,
but the everlasting team work Of every blooming
soul!"
We have the advantage in that this community
is "going concern and has in it's chamber of COM
merce the machinery for the use of the team work.
The chamber of commerce is the logical instrument
for the expression of co-ordnated effort that will
able to hold position in the forerank of progress
sive communities
But the chamber of commerce can function
only when it has the support of all groups. Your ac-
tive help may be determining factor in the history
that is being made for future generations to read

Work in a beet sugar field covers the period from
May to November in Michigan. The length of time is
about the same, though the months differ in other
parts of the country. When children participate in
the work-as they do wherever the industry exists
they must be out of school for considerable portions of
the year.

UNCLE WIGdILY's PUNC
spTrDpn mrpr,

The Woozic Wolf was trotting Il
long the woodland path ana he was
singing. This was so unusual, for
the Wolf scarcely ever sang, that
his friend, the Fuzzy Fox, curled his
tail in surprise and asked:
"Why are you so jolly, Mr..
Wolff"
"Becausc ] am going to catch
Uncle Wiggily and nibble his ears
that's why I'm jolly" answered
the Wolf, and he sang again. ! can
not call it good singing, but it
was the best the Wolf could man
age.
"lIow are you going to catch
that rabbit gcntleman!' asked
the Fox. II have tried many times,
but he always gets away. Yestec-
day the Bob Cat tried to get Uncle
Wiggily by beating a pic tin and
making believe it was Il fire alarm.
But all that happened was that the

held out a paper of tacks.
With thOse!o laughed the Fox.
You are silly; l suppose you think
you can get Uncle Wiggily to come
in your den to help you tack down
your parlor rug-that is, if you
have such a thing, which you have.
MT. And you think if he comes in
you can nibble his ears! Ho! Ho!
How silly you are!'
Wait n minute! Wait n min

this. The next time he starts out
in his auto for n ride l will scatter
these sharp tacks along the road.
One of them will puncture his tire.

have to stop to make a change, and
when he is doing that and pump-
ing up his old tire, in case he has
no spare, III jump out and nibble
his ears.'
"Hum,' said the Fox slowly,
''it sounds like good trick. I'll
watch you play it and if it works
III get some tacks for myself and
puncture another tire for him next
day
SO the Wolf sneaked along until
he reached the road by which he
knew Uncle Wiggily must come
sooner or later. And, surely enough
the Wolf did not have long to wait.
The Fuzzy Fox, hid i'll the bushes
to see what he said would be
"fun.'
In the road the Wolf scattered
the tacks, with their sharp points
up. Soon along came the bunny
gentleman auto.
Whee-zee! whizz!'
Suddenly the tire was struck by
tack, it was punctured and out
Kissed the air.
"Oh, ho!' exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily stopping his ear. An .ae-
cident! Well, perhaps it may mean
an adventure. III have to stop
and change q tire But as it hap
pened he had no spare tire, so he
had to take out the punctrred tube,
mend it, put it back in the shoe
and pump it up full of air again.
Uncle Wiggily started to do this
when the Wolf, who was hiding in
the bushes beside the road, began
sneaking down to do his ear nib
bling. The hidden Fox, who was
also watching, whispered to him
self.
This time | believe Uncle Wig
gily is going to be caught! Oh, !
hope the Wolf saves some ears for
mel
Nearer and nearer crept the
Wolf. Uncle Wiggily had finished
pumping air in the punctured tire
which he had mended and he was
thinking of travelling on again,
when all of sudden, out jumped
the Wolf.
"What do you want z" asked I'm
ele Wiggily boldly, though well he
could guess.
- want your ears! I want your
ears!' howled the Wolf. "lt was
l who scattered the tacks and pune
tured your time to make you stop.
Now l want ears!"
"Oh,, do you? Well, suppose you
try a little fresh air first" quick
ly cried Uncle Wiggily. Then he
began pumping the air pump and he
held the hose close to the ground
and blew a lot of dust in the eyes
of the Wolf. Oh, such a lot of dust
as the bunny blew.
"Ker-hoo! Ker foo! Oh, my
nose! MY eyes! can sce'
howled the Wolf.
"Just what / hoped would hap
pen!" laughed Uncle Wiggily. And
before the Wolf could rub the dust
out Of his eyes, the rabbit rode far
away in his auto, taking his ears
with him.

way!" growled the Fox as the Wolf
went to a spring to wash his face
"Weu never get that rabbit! Nev

and growled.

Looking a Gift-Horse-

Some persons still look q gift horse
in the mouth, and to outsiders it
would seem that this particular gift.
horse might be a handsome and worthy
steed. Lord Leverhulme owns an is.
land off the northwest coast of Scot
land. 1t is the Island of Lewis large
and well peopled. 1t is said that a
river runs through it where salmon
fishing is good, and that "stags and
wild fowl tempt the huntsman." The
lord sought to organize fisheries and
other industries under the control Of
q company, but islanders objected to
becoming employees of any company.
The owner then offered the island to
the islanders, but they declined the
gift, saying that it would cost more
to run the place with its castle and
estates than they could make out of
the island. Now Lord Leverhulme Of
fers the island for sale. OF course. It
may be presumed that the islanders
know their own business, and that
they also know something about this
island, but some folk with probably
consider them lacking in appreciation
and enterprise. It seems very hard to
make a charge of lack Of thrift or en-.
terprtse against Scotch people. The
prospectus seems to show that this is
a very good piece Of real estate, but
the islanders decline it as a gift.

No "World's Fair" in 1925,

For some time past Philadelphia has
been discussing the question Of an
other centennial" exposition, to be
held in that city in 1926 to celebrate
the 150th anniversary of the signing
Of the Declaration of Independence.
Inasmuch as the City Of Brotherly
Love was the scene Of the signing,
and most appropriately the scene Of
tho big fair that celebrated the Tooth
anniversary Of that epochal event, 1t
has been taken for granted that no
other place would bid for the
honor of sesquicentennial. So the
Philadelphians have been going ahead
without fear of competition. But
somehow the project has Jagged.

Limit the Visas.

On the eve of the opening of Con-
gress many steamships are dashing
for American ports with alien thronss
aboard to land before the quotas are
exhausted. They Serve to emphasize
the need Of an orderly and fair system
by which immigrants may be admitted
TO the United States under the exist
ing quota law.
Congress- will be called upon to
wrestle with the immigration cues.
ton. Already Il number of plans have
been advanced to put an end TO the
conditions which today menace inmi.
grants. immigration stations and
steamship companies. Immigrants
with properly vised passports are
turned back because quotas have been
exhausted. Steamship companies are
compelled to pay heavy fines for
bringing these immigrants to Arneri-
can shores, and the officials at Ellis
Island, for example. are under a tre.
mendous strain during the first days
OF each month because of the hordes
deposited there.
A plan must be devised and put
into effect which will do away with
these hazards. 1t may be that it will
require a disastrous collision. with
heavy loss of life. perhaps during a
foggy night Off New York harbor. be.
tween vessels racing for port in an
effort to get their alien passengers
under the wire" before the quotas
are closed. Procrastination has been
responsible for disasters Of many
kinds in the past.
Proposals have been put forward
that examinations of immigrants
should be held on the other side Of
the Atlantic ocean. Such system
would result in better selection of
immigrants and Of future Americans.
But until a fixed limit Is put upon the
number Of passports which may be
vised for each nationality, for en-
trance each month, it does not appear
that the evils referred to can be eradi.
Gated. If the number of passports
were so divided, then the prospective
immigrant who received 4 passport in
December for use in May would be
assured Of admission into the United
States. provided he complied with all
the requirements Of the immigration
laws, whether he was landed in the
United States the first day or the last
day of May. Under such system the
perils of deportation because quotas
had been exceeded would vanish. The
steamship companies would not be
compelled to race for port, imperiling
the lives Of the passengers and crews,
in order to avoid penalties which they
must face If they bring aliens in ex-
cess of the quotas.
