'.Ha. Ha, Ho. Ho!" laughed
Jncle Wiggily as he darted down

is. It's in plain sight on the front
Of the box.
And there, surely enough, was
the missing key. as You very soon

said Mrs. Longears as she looked
to see if there was enough carrot

"Oh,. no. said Uncle Wiggily.

SO next day he started out
again, over the fields and through
the woods, up hill and down dale to
see what would happen. Mr.. Long

day it was, and how soon it would

"Why, of course, said Uncle

Then the Fox chased him. Uncle
Wiggily hoped fast and ran down
the hill to where he saw Mrs.

Uncle Wiggily. There are three

Fire, thought to have been caus-

IN the machine shops of the Holton-
lnterurban railway at FL Centre
during the morning. Efforts were
made by the volunteer firemen to
save the building, but it was only
possible to confine the flames to
the machine shops. The Garren
rooming house, which was recently
completed and was but so feet from
the burning building, was saved
from destruction by the work of
the firemen. A number of the fire
lads were slightly burned, and were
taken to Dunaway's Drug Store for
first aid. The damage is estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000.

however, 1t recalls with interest the activity of
democratic leaders in Imperial county just prior to
the recent primary election, in behalf of Senator jim
Reed of Missouri So well did the leaders do their
work that Imperial county had the unique distinction
OF beng the only county In the state which Mr.. Reed
carried.
Democrats here were assured that the Missouri
senator is friend where the Swng-J ohnson bill is
concerned, notwithstanding that on the only record
vote concerning the bill in the 69h Congress- he voted
against the supporters of the bill
Senator Reed took queer of showing his
friendship Saturday, when he blocked the first oppor
tunlty for vote the SWING ohnson bill in the SEN
ate by demanding that he be permitted to discuss his
Mississippi barge line bill.
The senator went into details in explaining his
reasons, declaring that it is obvious the Boulder Dam
bill cannot pass and demanding to know why it should
be permitted to clog up the entire legislative mill
that ''other merorous bills would 90 down with it
to defeat
This despite the fact that the Senate voted A to
% against disodging the Swng-J Johnson bill in favor
of the cruiser authorization bill and 81 Is against
dsplacng it with the army promotion bill
These votes indicate how the Senate will vote
the Swing-Johnson bill if it is permitted to do
Senator Reeds move came after Senator La Fol
ette, Hiram Johnson's staunchest supporter for the
bill, had demanded Showdown" The time appeared
ripe to let the bill to vote and take its chances

nit it to do
Imperial Valley Democrats pay Senator Reed
handsome compliment, and the records show how he
repays it.
Incidentally the Missouri senator had the salts
faction of having HIS bill passed by the Senate He
may possibly lend his support to the Swng-Jo ohnson
