I eat in a long while, > said the tramp
dog.
Uncle Wiggily thought for mo-
nent and then asked;
"Can you eat cakc9'
"Can | eat eakcG | should say
I couldi' barked the dog. "But
where can l find cake or even pie,
or even bread and buttcre'
"In my hollow stump bungalow
| there is much cake, said Uncle
| Wiggily. "Nurse Jane is having 4
sort of party this afternoon-that S

sure to be more cake than she and
her animal lady friends need. Come,

cake will be in the pantry. / II get

"Oh, thank you, kind sir muir
INJURED the tramp dog.
So he followed Uncle Wjggily
back to the hollow stump bungalow.
There was humble of many voices
talking
"That S the company, whisper
ed the rabbit.
He led the tramp dog in the back
way and there on the pantry shelf
was plate full of cakes. In the
dining room Nurse Jane was making

"Here, help yourself, = invited
Uncle Wiggily, passing the plate of
cakes to the hungry dog.
81 could eat all these, whisper
ed the dog, "but what will Nurse
Jane do for cakes for her compa-
nv?'
"Therc are plenty more said
the bunny. s'See--a whole box
full!' And he showed them to the
dog.
So while the tramp bow-wow ate
one plate of cakes Uncle Wiggily
filled another plate with cakes from
the box in ease Nurse Janc should
want that for her lady friends.
And no sooner had the rabbit done
this than Nurse Jane entered the
pantry.
"oh, Uncle Wiggily!'' she cried
in surprise, "you re just in time to-
pass the cakes! And who is this?'
she asked, looking at the tramp dog.
Mr.. Longears introduced HIM to
Nurse Jane and the bunny was go
ing to take the plate Of cakes in
and pass them to the animal ladies
when, all of a sudden, the Fuzzy
Fox thrust his head in the pantry
window.

ANOTHER BOOK LIST

During the recent observance of Better Homes
Week. booksellers and publishers helped along the
cause by making up lists of books recommended
foundation for home library. One such list is partic
ulary interesting contrast to the familiar
five-foot shelf of DIR. Eliot
In the latter there found numerous selections
from Greek and Roman literature, well more mod
bits In the Better Homes list there seems to be
overbalance in favor of modern works The Bible,
a one-volume Shakespeare, a good dictionary and
Rogets Thesaurus about the only old-timers that
break into the list. There is little modern drama;
little recent biography the out-lines" of art tera
ture, science and history; encyclopedia Of music;
bird and flower guides of the current books
psychology, diet and etiquette Emerson's essays
volume of Stevenson's poetry and collection of
modern poetry and finally volume each from Scott
Dickens, Thackeray Kipling, Conrad, Galsworthy,
Harrington and Mark Twain Hoyles Games and
Atlas of the World also included.
1t is incomplete list, of course, and anyone who
loves books and has read anything beyond required
school texts could probably point out omissions and
flaws in the choice given 1t should be remembered
however, that the list represent only a foundation.
A professor of literature, asked for reading
guide once said that the best reading guide
good book. A thoughtful reading of one meaty volume
would inevitably lead any real reader to others and
by following the lines of thought set up by the first
volume, he would become eventually well-read
Given, then, SO foundation books, readers ought in
time to deve deep into the treasure store of literature
And of the fortunate ones, at least, should
find their way back to the ancient classics and
of the literature of foreign lands

THE SALVATION ARMY DRIVE

Tomorrow afternoon will be staged one of the most
concentrated and effective drives for funds made
IN Ell Centre. The Salvation Army is coming into the
valley when fall comes and to go into any community
and carry such operations the Salvation Army
conducts requires money. The least do to CO.
operate in this splendid work is to respond as literally
possible to the call.
The work and aims of the Salvation Army too
we'll known need explanation extolling here They
the first religious organization that fully recog
nzed the material needs of along with his spirit
ua wants and grappled the problem from that angle
William Booth, the founder of the Army said You
can't preach religion to an empty tomach, feed HIM
first. This logic received with rdlcule at first
things just hadn't been done that way. When he fin
shed his work and handed it to his
he was extoed the world and received by preSi-
dents and rulers The operations of the Army through
out 80 countries in the world has been conducted on
this practical plan and Imperial Valley, too. will
the benefit of such consecrated service.
s Whatever sect creed, all of us must bow
in Difference the selfeffacenent of the workers in
the Army and admit that the greatest good for the
greatest number is their battle cry at all times. If
ence of the Salvation Army the unseifish work done
by its thousands of workers in the World War would
stand monument to its purposes and ideals for all
time.
The Elks, the Rotary Club and the American Le-
gon-three of the eminent organizations in this
city-are sponsoring the drive tomorrow. Their repre-
sentatves will call you. Be ready for them-be
sold in advance the idea, that the work of the
solicitors will be facilitated to the greatest extent
And remember that every community where the
Salvation Army has entered has been benefited in
countless ways. Imperial Valley will be no exception
to the rule.

THE FOOLISH RACE

Grown-ups who read Alice in Wonder land
may recall the breathless which Alice forced
to take, dragged along by Queen who clutched her
hand and cried, Faster, faster! When they stopped,
breahess and exhausted Alice discovered that they
just where they had been before the frantic

explained that necessary that fast just
keep their position and that they'd have ever so
much faster if they wanted to go anywhere else.
Spring, with its outdoor lure, brings to many a
troubled spirit greater sympathy with the bewdered
Alice With woods and fields and brooks and birds
and flowers and sunshine all attracting poor human be-
ings to invite their souls in lovely quiet spot
is sometimes moved to wonder why they can't drop
things and answer the call But somehow or other
they must keep rushing along at furious pace just
to maintain their respective foohods in the community
and the community must rush along to maintain its
place in the larger civilized world.
And isn't it all foolish? Too many persons don't
have time to discover whether the times are worth
keeping abreast of, occupied they with trying
not to drop behind. An immediate smplificaton of
living would be great boon to many family. Fewer
magazines to look over leaving more time for a few
good books; more long motor trips into the country
with more delyng into the woods that shelter nest
ing birds and Widflowers; fewer social engagements
and more social intercourse with true frends-these
things would do any family or individual or commun-
