through the woods, wondering what
SORT of an adventure he would have
pretty soon.
it was not long before the Rushy
Bear, who had chased Uncle Wiz
9iiv tho day before, saw the rabbit
'imping along on his candy cane.
Clriy the Bushv Bear didn t know
Tie cane was made of candy.
There goes Uncle Wiggilyb
growled the Bushv Bear, shaking his
shaggy head. "He has his rheuma-
tism crutch that | have heard 50
much about. That means he must be
l;uping and it will be easy for me
t. catch him. He cant get away
now by putting sandpaper on his
.cct. -
So saving, the Rushy Bear jumped
out from behind a sassafras bush
and made a grab for the rabbit gen
tieman. But Uncle Wiggily heard
tie noise behind him and turned in
time to see the Bear coming.
What are YOU going to do -
asked the rabbit
I'm going to bite you,' growl-
ed the Bear.
Right at the rabbit he jumped,
the Bear did, but Uncle WiGgilr
stuck the big, strong candy cane out
iii front of him and, as the Bear
had his mouth wide open, the cane
went right into it. Down the Pear :
icd throat Uncle Wiggily jammei
the end of the candy cane, and it
ticklcd the Bear tongue. SO h.
Snaopcd his jaws and teeth together.
Crack - went the candy cane,
q large piece being broken off Tie
piece stayed in the Bears mouth,
and, being very fond of sweet THINGS
the Bear began to chew the candy
"Chunkiechonk,i' he chewed the
end of the cane in his mouth. "Oh.
Yum YUM That 5 goodl' gurgled
tie Bear, and he closed his eyes with
delight.
"Ha, This is my chance," cried
Uncle Wiggily. "While the bear
has his eyes closed Ill hide and
wait until he goes away. Then l il
hop home.'
So while the Bear had his eyes
closed in delight at the candy he
ras chewing, Uncle Wiggily crawled
in hollow log and hid himself,
waiting for the bad chap to go a
way. But whether he did Or not,
! II tell YOU tomorrow if you please.

Uncle Wiggily thought, for mo-

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS

Approximately IS per cent of all deaths from tuber
culosis preventable according to medical reports
The same reports tell that the annual loss in this
country from tuberculosis amounts to 1864 OIL but
this does not include all economic loss take into
consideration the suffering endured by families where
the wage becomes victim of the white
plague families in which the standard of living is
greatly lowered because of its loss.
One means of combating tubercuosis-a that
is within the reach of everyone-is through the sale of
Christmas seals. These seals sale in I'M
perlal county. Everyone is familiar with them All
should know of the splendid work which is maintained
by the sale of these seals. They sell for but cent
each and the old Scotch saying, many mickle makes
muckle is certainly borne out when becomes IA
miar with the good these little penny stamps do
The Imperial County tuberculosis committee is
sending a dollars worth of stamps to nearly every
home in the valley Used on Christmas packages where
they make attractive decorations and stamp the sender
as one who is willing to aid his fellowman dollars
worth of seals is none too much for any family.
In the past there have been instances of the stamps
being returned to headquarters. Undoubtedly in
cases this excusable but in the long run few fam
lies cannot afford dollar.
There should be no "slacking', in this seal sale.
Christmas is season of giving, and what more prec
ous gift can one give than the opportunity to help
unfortunate fellow being back to health. We all value
good health above every other blessing Those of
who have it should be glad of opportunity to help
those who without it.
By far the greater percentage of the money derived
from the sale of Christmas seals goes toward prevena
tive work right here in Imperial county The commit
tee operates with only slight overhead and all
pense is reduced to a minimum
One of the undertakings supported by the sale of
christmas seals Is The summer camp at HlpaSS. lhlS
column has had several opportunities to praise the
good work done in this camp, made possible through
the generosity of the public at Christmas.
Let's keep up the good work The supply of stamps
is plentiful and there should be heavy on them
1t is not necessary to purchase just dollars worth
They be had in greater amounts for those who feel
they afford it. and in lesser quantities for those of
more modest means.
Do not send your stamps back. Send dollar instead
and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you never
spent dollar in worthy cause.
On general principles believe that it's right,
when in Rome to do as the Romans do; but when
Mussolni insists that American visitors smoke italian
cigars, that's going too far
Henry Ford may make millions of fvvers, but
alas! He can't junk the old ones.
The only trouble with this country today is too many

RUNNER ARRIVES
But Gets No Welcome, Nothing
But Exercise

New York, July 1s.-Are New
Workers weakening? Have the in
sidious influences of an effete civil
ization drained the lakt red drop
from our veins? Is the prestige of
the once unquestioned center Of the
worlds hero-welcoming industry
topping at last? Can it be that in
all this great city there is not a
single soul with the stamina of any
one Of those thousands Of Parisians
who waited long hours in rain and
darkness at LIE Bourget for Com
mander Byrd and his lost COM
panions, or even Of those Germans
who kept steadfast vigil for Cham
berlin and Levine? Are we men
or mice?
Strong words? Yes. But consider
what happened to William Busch
Sunday. It's enough to make a fell
low swear never to run from Boston
to New York. In fact, We have just
sworn never to.
Started Wednesday Night
William, old readers of the pa
pers may recall, left Boston at 9:46
Wednesday night with the avowed
intention of arriving here 48 hours
later. He further avowed his own
two legs would furnish his trans
portation all the way. Yesterday
morning at 1O:40 he reached Times
Square, and just because he was a
measly 81 hours late not a person
was there to say What of it,"
Worse, it wasn't William alone
who was sighted. True to the best
practices of these days of long dis
lance hope, he brought with him
1.-THE other half of the famous
partnership of We" bedraggled
jersey across which was incribed the
stirring device THE Spirit Of
Charlestown." And not even traf-
fic cop seemed to care. How can New
York be so cold when it's so hot?
Auto Escort Deserts Him
William who is Il years old and
rangy. started his run accompanied
by two Boston men. James Ander-
son and Johnny Hail, in an auto
mobile. They stuck to the grind
until Springfield was reached Thurs
day night. Then they made a be-
lated decision that William was
goofy to go in for such a stunt in
such weather, told him so and drove
back home. That's not the way
Lindbergh got his start" retorted
Bill and resumed putting one burn
ing foot in front of the other on
the way to New York.
At ESQ Friday afternoon the pop
pop of bursting blisters announced
his arrival in New Haven, where he
rested for an hour and then picked
them up again for the Bronx
Twenty-four hours later he passed
the New York city line and logged
to the house of a friend at $500
Boston Post road for a rest. At
1890 yesterday morning he took up
the trek and ten minutes later the
Spirit of Charlestown sored into the
heart of the city.

This scalping, or selling Of tickets
by spectators at increased charges
extended not alone to theater tickets
The investigation by U. S. Attorney
futile has revealed. but also to prize
fights, to the reception to Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh and in one
case at least to a funeral.
Now, with the Dempsey Shark ~

ers are reported unable to get any
tickets, while heretofore they are
said to hav, been able to get as
many ringside seats as they could
handle.
In another case the treasurer of
a theater housing Broadway "hit"
is reported to have sent out word
that no more tickets would be given
the agencies. In the past, 1t was
said, this theater consistently sold
all its choice seats to spectators for

these, he said, found their way to
