UNCLE WIGGILY AND. THE
BLACK KITTEN eE

Once upon n time, as: Nurse Jane
looked out of the window of Athe
| hollow stump bungalow, she saw
on the front porch a lump of some
thing black.
"Uncle Wiggily!'' called the
muskrat lady housekeeper to the
bunny rabbit gentleman, "I wish
you would take the broom and
sweep that black lump of mud off
the porch. 1 think Curly or Flop
pv Twistytail, one of the piggic
boys. must have left the mud there
while playing.
''All right, l Il sweep it Of, re-
piled Uncle Wiggily. But when, a
little later, he went out with the
broom, the black lump wasn't to
be seen.
"Well, I suppose the piggie boys
saw it and swept it Of" thought
the rabbit gentleman. So he put
the broom back in the closet, and,
after twinkling his pink nose two
or three times, Uncle Wiggily start
ed out to seek an adventure.
But, as he stepped on the front
porch, there was that black lump
again.
"Ho, Hoi' laughed Mr.. Long
ears. "'Curly and Floppy must
have dropped more black mud on
Nurse Jane S clean porch. But Il

Press Pays Third
Policy in Short
Time

A check for S100 was mailed
Mrs. Mary E. Penry, who lives
on a ranch near Ell Centre, by
the Press today. This represents
the third accident claim paid sub-
scribers recently through the in
surancs plan of the Press.
Mrs. Penry's automobile was
badly damaged and she was pain
fully injured sometime ago in an
accident on the highway near
this city. The S100 is for ten
weeks disability at the rate of
ten dollars week. The only
extra cost Mrs. Penry paid for
this protection was a dollar reg
istration fee when she took ont
the policy as subscriber of the
Press.
This insurance feature which
this publication is offering its
readers is finding great favor be-
cause of its economy and has
been taken advantage of by hun
dreds of readers.
An old subscriber can secure
this protection by coming to the
office and paying the one dollar
registry fee, which keeps the po-
licy in force for a year. There
are no other charges, the only
requirement being that the po-
hey holder must be a subscriber
to the Press. The policy pays
not only heavy damages for loss.
but also allows for disability.
Those who are not taking the
Press can secure this policy by
subscribing to the paper and pay
ing the dollar fee. The fact
that three claims have been paid
within the last few weeks shows
the feasibility and practical na,
tr,re of this policy, which is one
of the cheapest forms of accident
insurance ever offered the public
of Imperial Valley.

KILLING WORM

Department of Agriculture.
Feeds On Weevil Grub

ATLANTA, Oct. 24.-The weevil
killing worm is the latest discovery
in the cotton fields, according to re-
ports received here by officials of the
Georgia Department of Agriculture.
The worm, it is said, feeds on the
weevil grubs and sucks them to DEATH
ut would be great indeed, if Mr..
Garner could turn a colony of worms
loose in his cotton fields and feel as
Sured that this would be the end of
Mr.. Boil Weevil, provided, of course,
that the worm didn't destroy any
thing else" said an official of the
agricultural department.
The discovery" is far from being
confirmed, as yet, however, and
pending authorization of such nat
ural weevil killer, the farmers are
advised by the agricultural depart
ment to take advantage of the pres
ent unusual combination of open
weather and an early cotton crop, to
follow the more certain method of
killing the weevil BY blowing under
all the cotton stalks, or burning
them, within the next few weeks.

To Tune

After months of experimenting
coupled with years of experience, our
engineers have developed truly re-
markable and decidedly different ra-

ing set with just One pial to tune.
The remarkable simplicity has en-
abled us to develop the set to a point
where it performs with maximum
volume, utmost selectivity and clari-
ty OF tone that cannot be excelled,
Not a hideous volume, that is more
noise than reception, but an ample
volume sufficient to be heard dis
tinctly in any large room. Selective,
not only from a standpoint of tun-
ing out local broadcastirg stations,
but you are enabled to separate sta
lions whose broadcasting ranges are
less then degrees apart. Clarity
with true clearness that reproduces
the softest note ia fine violin in all
its beauty.
Nor has the appearance been neg
lected, for in all Mohawk Models,
elegant construction has been en-
bodied so that the beauty and quail
ity go clear through. And you will
be amazed that with just One Dial,
even though it is 5-tube radio re-
ceiving set, you will get long distance
stations on the loud speaker, having
no trouble in eliminating the local
broadcasting stations rlogiFms.
