Bedtime Stories

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
= YEAST CAKES

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy was one
of those old fashioned muskrat lady
housekeepers who bake their own
bread. In these days when so many
of us get our bread at the bakery or
grocery, it is rather strange to find
some who still mix up flour, water
and yeast, set the "sponge' to rise
near the fire at night, mix the dough
the next morning and bake loaves of
bread with golden brown crust in
the oven.
So when Uncle Wiggily heard
Nurse Jane call to him one afternoon
as he was hopping away to find an
adventure, that she wished he would
bring her home a yeast cake, the
rabbit gentleman knew what was
going to happen.
Nurse Jane is going to bake
bread" said the rabbit gentleman.
And he was right. Though, Of
course, sometimes yeast cake can
be used to make root beer. Summer
is gone said the bunny uncle.
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy must be going
TO make carrot bread with the yeast
cake. And as l am very fond of
carrot bread | shall not forget to
buy the yeast cake. -
AS Uncle Wiggily hoped along
over the brown fields and through
the woods where the leaves had fal-
lon off all the trees except the ever
green's, he was seen by the Bob Cat,
which, as you know, has silly lit
tie tail.
Of course, Uncle Wiggily had a
little tail also, as have all rabbits.
But | call the Bob Cats tail silly

ALL ABOARD FOR ARIZONA

The success of the "Good Will" tour to Arizona is
assured.
Sunday morning upwards of 100 Imperial Valley
residents will leave Ell Cntro bound for three days
visit with neighbors in Yuma, Phoenix Tucson and
Nogales That they will be cordially welcomed and
royalty entertained by the Arizona cities goes without
saying for any who acquainted with the Arizona
brand of hospitality.
Much good should result from the tour Arizona
and Imperial Valley have many things in common and
each section learn much from the other through
a visit of this sort.
But the tour is bound to have another important
effect, aside from providing good time for those who
participate in it. There has been considerable misun
derstanding between the two communities the
ner of developing the Colorado river There is plenty
of to believe that exchange of visits between
businessmen can iron out misunderstanding where
politicians have failed.
If friendly atmosphere can be created by
the tour the work of those who have given their time
to develop the trip, will not have been in vain
Undoubtedly some businessmen who have been ap-
preached to make the trip and decided they could not
do still revolving the matter in their minds. To
these say, decide to make the trip; it will do you
and your community much good"

SUBWAY TO AFRICA

King Alfonso breaks into the news with construc-
tive engineering projecta surprising thing for king
to do nowadays.
He wants to dig tunnel under the famous straits
of Gibraltar, connect Spain with Morocco and, in
cidentally, Europe with Africa.
That would be size job, yet it could be done.
The distance between the Pillars of Hercules little
than 18 miles, shorter than the distance
the English Channel, where British and French engi-
have long sought to construct tunnel. But the
Spanish undertaking is much harder, because the
depth of the bottom at the mouth of the Mederran-
is much greater-from 1000 to 5000 feet-with
harder rock to bore through.
1t is picturesque proposal appealing alike to the
imagination of the engineer, the classical student and
the historian. But Alfonso is probably dreaming. AS
practical project it is unconvincing There is
for the English Channel subway, but what adequate
reason can there be for subway from Spain to Nor
occo? There is little traffic there actual potential
to justify the expense. Spain has found Morocco moth
ing but liability and would probably profit
more by getting rid of it altogether.
Besides, Spain, poor and decadent country, would
have difficulty in raising the S34,0O00O0 wanted
for the purpose. Americans might lend the money
