out of your trouble, whoever you
are, But come in; don It stand there
knocking"
81 can t come in!' said the
voice II IN caught fast i'll a tangle
of string; Come out and look!'
Uncle Wiggily hoped out of his
bungalow and perched on the
trunk of tree nearby was rather
large bird, with red feather ON his
head. He was tap-tapping away al
the tree with his sharp, strong bill.
"Oh, it s you, is it, Mr., Wood
pecker?" cried Uncle Wiggiy, for
well he knew the bird. 4" And it
was your tapping on the tree that
| thought was someone knocking
on my door; was it?"
"It was,'' answered the bird
Il thought if L knocked and tap
ped long enough and loudly enough
that some one would come to help
me. See, my legs are fast in some
string that must have come eff a
boy 5 kite when it was caught in a
tree. l cant pull my legs loose to
fly away.
"I1 help you kindly offered
Uncle Wiggily. With pair of
scissors from Nurse james work
basket the rabbit gentleman soon
set the woodpecker bird free
"Thank you'll chattered the
bird. And with that he began
drilling holes in the trunk and
branches of the tree. Neat, little
round holes in the wood the wood
pecker bird drilled with his strong
bill.
"Why are YOU making those peep
holes'" asked Uncle Wiggiiy, for
he noticed that, each time the bird
made Il hole, he looked down in it.
"These aren't exactly peep
holes laughed the woodpecker, 81
ann after worms and bugs that are
inside the tree. To set them out
| have to peep i'll the holes to see
il Il worm or bug is there. In Il
way they are peep holes, though
YOU can t lock through them and
see Il baseball game, as you can do,
sometimes, through Il hole in 'the
fence.
"Ha! Ha!" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. 81 used to look through
peep holes in a fence when | was a
young rabbit.
"There is very little to be seen
in one of my peep holes, said the |
woodpecker bird. ''Take Il look. :

WET IN FIVE YEARS

great deal of comment has been aroused by the
statement of President Butler of Columbia University
who attacks prohibition evil thing and failure
and predicts the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
within five years
1t is quite possible that DR.. Butler, scholarly
gentleman who knows many things, is wrong about
this Scholars always good Interpreters of
public affairs as they of textbooks.
An outside observer is likely to say that, in spite
OF the widespread evasions of the dry law and the
evils resulting from such evasions prohibition has
complished vast amount of good and that hope is
lost of eliminating the evil features while keep
ing the good.
Criticism of prohibition is directed not much
against the dry amendment itself as against the laws
enacted for its enforcement and the methods used by
enforcement officers. There is to be heavy
slaught the Volstead Act and state acts modelled
after it, because Of the extremely and perhaps
necessarily low percentage of alcohol now permitted
1t is possible that the Kolstead Act will be modi-
fled within five years given by Dr. Butler. But the
Eighteenth Amendment is different matter. If it
is seriously threatened modification of the enforce
ment laws, making them slightly LIBERAL will
probably save it.

LET'S TRY 1T AGAIN, EVERYBODY

Just how, afternoon last fall, the bus
mess houses of this city happened to close for the
period of an hour between and o'clock in the very
heart of the business day, constitutes of itself one of
the interesting little chapters in the volume of fascn-
ating happenings which go to make up the unWrltten
history of Imperial Valley
And interesting beginnings often grow to still
more interesting ends SO it with the first step
the lettuce rate question which has Just received
such satisfactory settlement for the growers and
shippers of Imperial Valley.
AS reading between the lines of letter is often
entertaining and instructive than accepting the
bald statements contained by the missive ITSELF IN
the case of the development of community affairs,
there is sometimes important result than
the achievement of given end.
Probably step IN the development of Imperial
Valley from sun parched desert to highly produc
tive agricultural area has ever more to single
industry than did the recent decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in upholding the right of let
tuce shippers to choose according to their needs, be-
tween shipping their product east by standard refrg
Grafton or by the far more economical top lclng
method.
But worthwhile as this victory may seem at the
present time, it is not important as the remarkable
demonstration of the value Of cooperation which has
been given by its success.
From the Imperial County Farm Bureau came the
call for assistance last fall when the lettuce shipping
issue seemed far away all but those in direct touch
with it, and the chance of final victory looked small.
The whole proposition OF the almost unorganzed let
tuce shippers being able to materially affect rule
laid down by the powerful and wealthy railroads
ed improbable as the Staying of Goliath by the
pebble of a David. But such things do happen
Talks before various civic organizations have been
given in numbers pleading for the cooperation of the
business and farming interests Who say that they
been without result that the truth of their state
ments the value of cooperation have not been
en-? For it the splendid Willingness of the busi-
to help the lettuce in their hour of need
which brought about the present victory All honor to
this spirit of cooperation May take deep in the
fertile soil of valley and bring forth
abundant fruit.
And that this salient victory has been won
let not forget how the desired result was brought
about For there of other problems which
beset Imperial Valley and must be solved before the
desert-garden fully into her own. There
problems of marketing splendid products of the
Standardization Of the quality of vegetables and
fruits OF the control Of that bosterous river the Colo
rado, which transmutes the desert into the fertile
farm or can destroy all that has far builded
in this Imperial Valley.
So, let's not forget how we won this time Let's
try it again, everybody.

TIE COST or PROBES

The various Investigations conducted by the pre-
sent Congress have cost the country about onethird
OF million dollars far this year. There are
Surprises in the way the money has been spent.
Contrary to a public impression, it has not been
spent mostly on the probes figuring extensively in
the The costliest inquiry has been that
citizens have heard of-nto the causes of the
decline in production Of gold and silver in this
try That had cost $4,000 up to the middle of April,
with expenses continuing at the rate of S4500 month.
The next is the Veterans Bureau probe. which cost
$4,000 up to the time mentioned Then the
Mayfield election contest, costing $4,000 All Of
these three have had comparatively little attention.
The spectacular oil probe has cost $4,000 and
the Daugherty probe Sl3,000 with various others,
famous obscure, requiring smaller amounts
1t is considerable Of money altogether and
some of it has probably been wasted. The main qUes-
ton however is not how much Congress is spending
for purposes bat whether the purposes are ust
fled and the inquiries conducted wisely, with a.
view TO improvement in most Of the fields of inquiry
il substantial improvement effected it might
repay the Incidental expenses thousand-fold
III there is overproductiOn Of automobiles, as
some observers say the manufacturers might solve two
problems ~ once by trading cars for farm crops.

was rustIing in the bushes and Il
voice growled:
What s going on herc?"
II was the Fuzzy Fox.
"Oh!' gasped Uncle Wiggily.

asked the bad chap.
Uncle Wiggilv didn' know what
to say, but, all of sudden, he

rabbit and said:
Before you nibble any ears, Mr..
Fox, wouldn t you like to look in
Il peep hole and see what you can
see
"Oh, yes, | m very fond of
looking in peep holes, chuckied
the Fox.
"Then take a look in this one! -
begged the bird, and quickly he
drilled d deep hole in the tree. Now
there WASH t Il thing to be seen III
this peep hole-not even " bug. But
Imperial Valley press., 1924-05-09

the Fox put his left eye to the hole
and he looked long and hard. Then
he put his right eye to the hole
and he looked harder.
"Say, (what kind of trick are
YOU playing on me?' howled the
Fox, as he turned around. 81
can t see a thing in this peep hole. y
And he couldn't, for there was no
thing to see.
But when the Fox turned around
he couldn see Uncle Wiggilv,
either. For, no sooner had the bad
chap put his eye to the, peep hole
than the woodpecker whispered to
the bunny:
Run home, Uncle Wiggilv.
And he did; so the Fox didn t get
him. And the bird flew off to drill
peep holes in another tree, aud as
he went "Tap-tap-tappitv-tap!'
the woodpecker laughed at the Fox.
"Gurr!' growled the bad chap.
Fooled again!''

off the slice of bread to go to the
movies with the chocolate pie, I'll

"The Covered Wagon Will
Be AT Caughren Sept. Hip
Biggest Picture in Fildom Graphically
and Correctly Portrays Crossing
Americas Plains In 40

Thursday and Friday of next
week Sank Centre citizens will have
the privilege of witnessing sThe Cow
cred Wagon" James CruZe' master
piece from Emerson Hough's sterling
portrayal of the crossing of the
American plains in 1849, which APP
peared serially in the Saturday Eve
ming Post couple of years ago. >
The picture will be shown at, the
Caughren Theatre with full orches-
ira accompaniment. "The Covered
Wagon" is the best known and un-
questionably the best motion picture
ever made. Although the film un-
folds a most heart-warming love
story, full of adventures, the signifi-
canoe of this monumental movie goes
far beyond that of any other love
drama ever produced.
The spirit of "The Covered Wag-
on" is the spirit of America. The raw
courage, the vision, the amazing adj
ventures and hardships of the pio-
neer men and women who opened up
the Western wilderness and made our
great country what it is today-all
this lives wildly before your eyes in
this picture.
Not a foot of 'The Covered Wag-
on" was made in a studio. Out in the
western desert ninety miles from a
railroad, 5000 actors including g.
900 buh-blooded Indians, worked for
four months to film this sincerest of
all cinema documents.
"The Covered Wagon" ran two
years on Broadway, 81 weeks in Los
Angeles, % weeks in Chicago, and
similar periods in other cities.
Although the show is extremely a
long one there will be two completed
shows each evening, starting prompt
ly at 1880 and 9:15. The admission
price for practically the entire house
will be SOC each for adults and rs
cents for children. .~,

SAVINGS BY CENTRAL

The Central Cooperative Commits
sion Association, which was organized
primarily to save money for livestock
producers and shippers of the North
west, presents some interesting fig
urs in this connection in report re-
Gently compiled for the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation.
During the first year of it's exis-
tence Central made an actual net
saving to its shippers of $85, 879.85;
during the second year this amount
increased to $8S,146.41; and for
1928 this saving jumped to $107,-
468.51. 1t is estimated also that
Central made additional savings to
it's members in reduced commissions
of approximately 100000.
In the same period the number of
cars handled by the Association in
creased perceptibly. In 1921 it
handled 12,001 cars; in 1922, 19,646
cars; and in 1923, 23,3O1 cars. Cen
trails share of the rail business at
South St. Paul in the three year

whelmingly Republican. With pro-
gram that is in accord with what its
people think, championed by candi-
dates in which they have confidence,
and backed by a party organization
that truly represents the people, we
cannot fail to win the approval of the
electorate in November.
81 believe that there is not as much
partisan bitterness in Minnesota to-
day as there was two years ago. Most
of the people have learned that the
way to get good government is not
to smash up the old parties, but to
make the old parties right. Careful
discrimination in the selection of
party candidates and care in the
building of the right kind of party
machinery will do more to give us
good government than any third
party movement conceived in the
minds of disappointed office seekers.
81 am going to go the limit to make
the Republican party organization
right. In that effort l enlist the sup
port of every good citizen in the state
of Minnesota. If we cooperate in
that effort, we shall not fail"
In addressing the Lincoln club of
Minneapolis the Saturday evening
preceding the primary, Mr.. Christian
SON outlined the platform on which
he made the successful campaign for
the nomination and concluded with a
striking peroration which sets forth
the essential difference between the
two political groups in Minnesota
which will contest for supremacy this
fall. Mr.. Christensen declares:
"Relief from a tax burden-local,
state and national-which has grown
to such proportions in recent years as
to be rapidly reaching the point OF
confscation of private property by
the states is the predominating issue
of the campaign and the subject of
most vital interest to the voters OF
Minnesota at this time"
AS steps toward tax reduction and
greater efficiency in state government
Mr.. Christianson advocated:
An adequate budget system.
Consolidation and reorganization
of state departments.
Arousing a strong public opinion
insisten on curbing expenditures
