UNCLE WIGGILY BAKES THE

"Haven t you anything else for

bunny rabbit slid down the stair

he was hungry. 'Here l have car

LOCAL LEGION
POST PASSES
UP CARNIVAL

Boyce Aten Post. American Leg
ion, held its first meeting Of the
season at Elks Hall last night and
heard interesting reports from John
NJ. Kepley, Cal Mousseau, Harry l..
Foster and Charlie Nice on the state
convention, in Eureka last month
when the Imperial Valley delega-
tion, working harmoniously and
with machine-like precision, captur-
ed several important posts in Legion
affairs, including the election of
the post commander, Rev. George
A. Hartman as state chaplain. The
Legionaires also reported on the
good time they had at the conyen-
tion and the enthusiasm with which
the delegates greeted the resolu-
ton to endorse the Swing-Johnson
bill, which was passed with few dis
senting voices.
The post voted against bringing
a carnival show to III Centre to ex-
hibit under the auspices Of the
American Legion, feeling that the
action of the city council III plac-
ing a prohibitiye license fee on
such shows indicated the attitude
of FL Centre as whole as being
against this form of amusement.
The Legion also realized the fact
that the show would take away more
money than it would leave here and
accordingly voted TO uphold the de-
sires Of the people and pass up the
carnival. 1t was decided TO adopt
more favorable means for provid-
ing entertainment at a later date.
In the absence OF the commander,
Rev. George A. Hartman, who is
representing Imperial Valley at the
Washington conference on the Col
orado river. the vice-eommander, 4.
c. Dyer, presided.

"Now, m going to bake the
cakes,' he said to himself.
In a brown jug he mixed up
flour, water, sugar, molasses and
whatever else goes into pancake
batter. Then the bunny put the
griddle on the stove, creased it as
he had seen Nurse Jane do, and
on the hot griddle he poured Il lit
tie dab of batter, which spread out
and began to get little holes in,
showing that the under side was
browning nicely. .s4
"When it S brown on one side l II
flip it over ON the other side with
the pancake turner said the
bunny gentleman, "and brown the
other side. "
Pretty soon he slid the thin pan
cake turner under the smoking hot
cake and turned it over. just as
he did so growing voice at the
back door asked:
Is that the best you can do?''
"Do what 7" inquired Uncle Wig
gily, turning quickly.
Cant you flop a pancake over
more than once?' the voice went
on, and there stood the Black Bushv
Bear, very ugly and hungry. why"
went on the bear, 81 can flop Il
pancake over seven times, making
it turn somersaults in the air be-
fore it comes back to the griddle
You don't know how to bake
cakes! Not at alll'
"Perhaps you do, said Uncle
Wiggily, taking off the first cake,
which was now baked brown on
both sides.
"Of course I do," growled the
Black Bushy Bear ON flop a
cake for you, and, after that l II
hibble your ears! That s what
came for! Go on, now. Pour some
more batter on the griddle and l II
( flop a cake over seven times.''
/ So Uncle Wiggily, feeling rather
sad, poured more batter on the
hot griddle. The Black Bushy
+ Bear took the pancake turner, lift
ed the griddle cake on it and flop
. Itl II up III tllc ar IDuJ sOllt-
thing went wrong. The cake turned
: several somersauts, but when it
came down it landed right on the
Bear 5 soft and tender nose in
stead of on the griddle.
"Oh WOW! Oh, my nose! Oh
| how 1 burnt" howled the Bear, and
away he ran to cool his nose in a
spring of water. So he didn t nib
bic the bunny's ears after all.
! ~ guess turning pancage once
; is enough for me-" .chuckled TN
cle Wiggily, as he poured on more
batter. And Nurse Jane was quite
surprised when she came down
stairs to find griddle cakes fol
breakfast.

GREEK AND LATIN AGAIN

French secondary schools are returning this fall
to the study of Latin and Greek after 20 years trial of
the modern languages substitutes The French
educators have found that without Latin, French
known his own language. Therefore the col
eges going to require Latin they used to- for
expect to become minister, doctor or lawyer.
Greek will not be compulsory, but facilities will be
provided for those who want it and its study will be
couraged by giving extra credits for it.
This indicates tendency felt also in America,
where the modern languages, substitutes for the
classic tongues have not been found altogether salts
factory The English language too, built largely OF
Latin, and has borrowed much from Greek. Here, as
in France, it is observed by many good Judges that
generation growing up ignorant of those languages
does not know how to speak and write its own.
Much of the present-day corruption of English is
traced to the lack of oldfashoned language training
The bunders made in choosing words and putting
them together, by otherwise intelligent and we'll IN
formed people, are almost incredible to anyone trained
in fundamental word meanings and the principles OF
grammar and good taste such gained by ac-
quaintance with the other tongues.
