No New Railroad
Station This Year
Says S. P. Agent

Nothing new has developed in the
plans for new railroad stations in
the various towns of Imperial Val
ley, according to c. w. Runge, dis
trict freight agent of the South
ern Pacific Company. Plans for
new stations in Brawley, Ell Centre
and Calexico were drawn up by the
company last year, But nothing
further has been done and the time
when construction of the new sta
tions will be begun is problematical,
he stated.
Statements that construction of
the new stations would commence
at the conclusion of the cantaloupe
season, may be true, Mr.. Runge as
serted, but if so, he has not been
advised of il, and believes if it were
the intention of the company to
start the erection Of stations, in the
near futur>, such advice would be
given to him.

Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily
saw Mr.. Whitewash, the polar bear
gentleman walking up over the hill
with bag of clubs on his shoulder.
'Oh, Mr.. Whitewash! exclaimed
the bunny rabbit, ''are you going to
beat the dust out of carpet that
you carry so many clubs in a bag9"
Indeed, l am going to do nothing
of the Sort answered the polar
bear gentleman with smile that
showed his red tongue and white
teeth. Il am going to play golf
"'Oh, that fuY.r game wuere you

Wiggilv.
Something like that answered
the shaggy, jolly bear. at is good

Mr.. Whitewash asked.
"Oh, my nose docsn' I twinkle as

A LIQUOR REFERENDUM

There is talk of a national referendum
the prohibition question next year
The action of New York state, in repeating its
dry enforcement law and throwing upon the federal
government all the burden of enforcing the federal
laws, has suddenly made the liquor issue more vital
than Wet leaders contend that a of re-
action against 'Volsteadsm is sweeping the country
Dry leaders contend that the evidence is superficial
and that big ma jority of the American people, in
every section of the country will stand pat on the
Eighteenth Amendment and the VolsteaG Act But
nobody knows
Congressman, while naturally disposed to uphold
the present regime, confess that they do not know
Certainty this matter would be excellent thing
for Congress- to determine its future course and
tanty would be also excellent thing for the public
to quiet the confusing camor and make law and con-
duct harmonic
referendum, therefore is desirable But what
kind of referendum shall it be- If the issue is forced
into the presidential election, with the Volstead Act
championed by party and opposed by the other
there be clean-cut decision because other I'M
portant issues will enter into each party vote Liquor
is not party ISSUE and cannot be made 1t cuts
through all parties. The only referendum worth
anything would be wholly divorced from party
politics
Congress probably lacks power to authorize
official referendum. Yet Congress might find some
way to sanction unofficial referendum, the results
of which would be dependable enough to determine
its future policy and bring end to the present
of confusion and lawessness

ten homecoming Chinese who just

time, came q morning when the
polar bear gentleman could not go
out on the links, as the golf field
is called.
"Well, 1 II 90 by myself and play
the golf game, thought Uncle Wig
gily. So with his bag of funny
clubs, and some of the round, hard
white rubber balls, he set off over
the hills.
"When will you be back?' asked
Nurse Jane standing in the doorway
of the hollow stump bungalow.
"When / make some good shots, -
answered Uncle Wiggily, and he
whistled a merry tune and looked in
pool of shining water. "Ah, my
nose is twinkling very pink" he
said laughing "Golf is doing it
good -

the little round, hard white ball over
the fields and through the woods,
from hole to hole, and felt very
gay and happy, just to be out of

Uncle Wiggily had almost fin
ished his game of golf, and he was
making a shot for the last hole
when, all of sudden, out from un-
der scraggily bush crawled the
Skillcry Scallery Alligator.
"Oh!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggi-
ly, for he was surprised to see the
Gator.
"Oh!" grunted the Gator, for he
was surprised to see Uncle Wiggily.
"What are you doing here's" asked
the Skillery Scallery chap.
"I'm playing golf?" answered
the bunny. "It s a game something
like croquet and baseball made into
one," he added, for he saw the
Gator opening his big mouth to ask
another question.

the Alligator. "Well, I'm playing

"Do you mean you are going to

The rabbit gentleman thought
