Uncle Wiggily hoped to the brook

birch bark, he filled it with water.
The water wet the sticky rose leaf

she could move herself.

MEETING OF THE "LEAGUE"

The so-called League of the Southwest will con-
in June at Santa Barbara. This organization has
high-sounding title and it claims to be about to do
big things For thing it claims to be organized
for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Bou
der Dam project. What other things 1t may have on
its repertoire will depend upon the suppeness Of its
secretary. If he discovers that the League of the South
west will not function with sufficient strength and
scope and promise he may adroitly add few more
things for the convention to do at Santa Barbara.
prospectus of the approaching meeting declares that
four thousand separate organizations have been in
vted to participate If each of these sends but
single delegate the concave it is easy what is
to become of Santa Barbara. The city will simply be
deuged by the human tide There will be no place to
sleep, much less to talk.
The League is joke and the fellow who has
called the meeting will have hard work trying to keep
it going If it pulls through this time it will certainly
end its after It's astute secretary is play
ing side of the Colorado river controversy against
the other, the purpose of the Juggling being to keep
membership dues coming in.
Imperial Valley supporters of the Boulder dam
and the All-American canal may have delegation

any hope that the project may be aided by what may
transpire Santa Barbara. There is prospect OF

Special Matinee
on Tomorrow for
School Children

Tonight will bring one of the big
gest film treats in many long day
to the Palace Airdome, when
Hunting Big Game in Africa" is
thrown on the screen.
This picture crowded the Lyric
theater in New York City for a year
and is declared by critics every,
where to be the greatest animal
picture ever released.
The picture crowds into two hours
the hair-raising experiences of two
years in the wilds of Africa, during
which many strange animals were
photographed for the first time i'll
their native haunts.
II. A. Snow, the hunter and his
son, Sidney -now, the photographer,
headed the party that left Califor-
MIA in 1919 sponsored by the Afri,
car Expedition Corporation of Oak
land, and escaped with their lives
by a marrow margin on several oc-
casions.
So highly does A. P. Shibley, sup.
crintendent of elementary schools
here, regard the picture from an ed
ucational standpoint that he is
planning to dismiss the schools to-
morrow afternoon at an early hour
in order to give every student an
opportunity tc attend the special
matinee which the Palace will Civ c

thought the bunny gentleman. :" III
jump over in that field and see
what 8 there. Perhaps there may
be an adventure. - So in another
instant Uncle Wiggily settled back
on his hind legs, sprang forward and
over the fence he jumped. His paws
landed on the ground inside the
field, but, all at once, the bunny
uncle found himself held fast.
''Oh, I'm caught in a trap" he
cried. ''There must have been u
trap on this side of the fence and
| I'm in it! There ism t any adventure
in this field at all, only a trap, and
I'm caught fast! Oh, dear!" 1t
was very sad FOR Uncle WiggiIy.
He tried and he tried and he tried
to get loose, but he couldn't. The
harder he pulled the more tightly he
seemed to be caught and at last he
cried:
Help! Help! Help!" Then all
of sudden there was rustling in
the bushes growing near the fence
and little voice crieds
"Oh, Uncle WIggny, whatever is
the matter?' There stood Jollie
Longtail, the mousic boy. "What
has happened! 2" he asked
"Oh! Oh, Jollie, ] IN caught in u
fence trap" said Uncle Wiggiy.
Jollie looked and then he looked
again. Then he laughed.
cit isn't anything to laugh at,
said the bunny soberly.
why, you aren't in Il trap at
ALT" chuckled Jollie. Your coat
tail is just caught on nail in the
fence, that aii. Wait Il moment,
III set you free" " Jollie loosened
the bunny IS coat tails from the nail
in the fence behind the rabbit and
Uncle Wiggily could soon hop as
well rs ever.
Dear me! How silly / was to
think it was a trap!'' Laughed Mr..
Longears. ~ WIS almost as fool
ish as the June Bug lady. But thank
you for setting me free, Jollie. Now,

Then he hoped over the fields
and through the woods, looking this
way and looking that way for an
adventure. But adventures seemed
rather scarce-at least Uncle Wig
gily saw none for a long time, and
when he did see one, it was such
tiny little adventure.
He noticed little June Bug lady
wiggling and Hopping about on the
path in the woods.
What is the matter, Mrs. June

THE KNOX LIQUOR RULING

A New York Federal judge has ruled that the pro-
vision of the Volsead law limiting physicians to pres
cribng pint of liquor in 10 days to any individual
is unconstitutional A good many enthusiastic prohib
onists will in the decision blow at prohibition
But it is not necessarily
In the first place dry forces will not let the mat
ter rest there 1t will be carried up to the United
States Supreme Court, where the decision may be
versed. Even it not the Tightening of restric
tons for the benefit of medical men would hardly lead
to unlimited prescribing of liquor by the profession
The reputable doctor has no desire to turn boot
logger, though he may think the present law
stringent for legitimate medical necessities. Doctors
who do not believe in the of liquor in any will
not be forced to prescribe it. AS for doctors who
would abuse the privilege of greater freedom, there
should be ways to restrain them.
