A SPLENDID talk

Although there good-szed crowd present in
city park Saturday night is matter regret that
every adult in Imperial Valley could not have been
present to hear the splendid address given by Aor-
ney Charles L. Childers in proof of Herbert Hoovers
favorable stand on the Boulder dam legislation.
Attorney Childers holds a preemnent place
among attorneys in Imperial county. His legal ab-
ity is of the highest None is more familiar with
every phase of the Colorado river question. His per-
sona integrity such that if he to declare Fourth
of July comes on Christmas, would hesitate be-
fore doubling the assertion.
No individual, not excepting Congressman Swing
himself could have placed the ndisputable facts be-
fore the people in such a concise, clear-cut fashion
There was none of the floWery oratory of the spell
binder, mud-snging, recrimnations, no evasionS
What Mr.. Childers said straightforward in plain
language easily understood, and delivered in manner
that could not fail to convince any far-mnded person
of the truth of his assertions
He backed up every statement he made either
from printed public documents or his own experiences
while working for the Swing-J ohnson BILL and his
statements in this regard indisputabe as the
printed records
Those who heard him followed every word close
ly. Even those who, clingng to party allegiance,
would not commit themselves to the effect of his
talk their politics, admitted the logic of his state
ments and praised the high caibre of his address.
We sincerely hope that Attorney Childers will be
able to repeat his address in other parts of the county
We know of nothing that will be likely to con-
vince dOubters that Herbert Hoover is 100 per cent
for the Boulder dam legislation than an opportunity
to hear him.

WHITE MAN AND RED

1t is easy, undoubtedly, to stand on the sdenes
and criticize police departments, but it does seem as
though the police in neighboring city of San Diego
recently sponsored performance of which they have
little reason to be proud.
Juan Martinez is Indian, asserted to be 100
years old According to the story he lived bv himself
in little shack on the waterfront. When he refused
to vacate the shack of San Diegos finest arrested
him on charge of "vagrancy, refusing to work."
The police chief subjected him to a test. This
was nothing more less than asking Juan to lift the
rear end of $50 pound motorcycle Juan lifted the
motorcycle and the chief decided he able to work.
Therefore he was adjudged not vagrant and permit
ted to go.
1t seems to us that any person who lives to be 100
years of is entitled to spend the short remainder
of his life in ideness if he so DESIRES be he retired
millionaire frendess Indian. In fact it seems to
that being Indian is all the more reason why he
should be we'll cared for in his old age.
Juan unquestonably has been the victim of many
petty and great in justices during his long term of
years, at the hands of the white Every Indian
has been subjected to them.
What is natural for an old Indian than that
he should desire to live by himself? All he asked was
to be let alone living best he could until the Great
Spirit sought fit to call him. What if his little shack
was in the way? Surely little shack occupied by
an old Indian is not much of blot San Diego when
one stops to consider the number of white places there
which can be cassed, politely, as undesirable.
But misguided officer whose forebears were pos
sibly being subjected to all kinds of mseres in
European country, when Juan free and happy
nhabitant of San Diego takes it upon himself to add
just one more Bit of petty tyranny And the chief
adds another when he insists upon poor old Indian,
bowed down by the weight of years, performing a
stunt that would be strenuous for football fullback
in the prime of life
If the San Diego people, including the police de-
partment are onehaf the good sports like to think
they are; it, like true Californians they have warm
spot in their hearts for the California that used be,
they will take it upon themselves to that Old Juan
is so situated that he will be allowed his rude shack
If he wishes it that he will be subjected to the petty
tyranny of policeman and that he will not be called
upon to lift any more motorcycles.

ncighborhood because of his pc
culiar actions and his belief that
some one was trying to kill him.

satisfaction of the court that he is

tage of the recent legislation in or
der to avoid any possibility of q
tragedy growing out Of the arrest of
the defendant, it being brought out
that in view of the circumstances

UNCLE WIGGTLY AND THE
CRANBERRIES

"Well, Uncle Wiggily," squeak
cd Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one
morning as the rabbit gentleman
started hopping away from his hol-
low stump bungalow, 81 suppose
YOU are going adventuring?'
81 hope l may find an advcn-
ture," spoke Mr. Longcars.
$50 do l." said the muskrat
lady housekeepcr. "And while you
ere looking for an adventure for
yourself you might do me a favor. "
"I shall be most happy, - Uncle
Wiggily answered with low and
polite bow from his tall, silk hat.
"What may do for you!''
"Sce if you can find any cram
herries," answered Nurse Jane. In
about a month it will be Thanks
giving and we shall want some
cranberry pies and tarts as well as
some sauce to eat with the roast
carrots. Cranberries ought to be ripe
now and if YOU Will find swamp,
or bog, where they grow, you can
gather some now and | win make a
pie. Then, when Thanksgiving is
almost here, you will remember
Whcrc the cranberry bog is and can
hop there and get a lot more. -
81 II do that, - said Uncle Wig
gily. So, having pat his tail, silk
hat ON his head, he twinkled his
pink nose and hoped away. Over the
fields and through the woods be
went, looking for an adventure
and soon he reached low, swampy
place, sometimes covered with water
when there was much rain.
Eut now the bog was dry and
covered with sand in which grew
many low bushes, with glossy
green leaves. Amid the leaves
cleaned some dark red dots.
"This is bog" said Uncle Wig
gily to himself, land those red
spots must be cranbcrries. l'll look
to make sure
Truly enough, Uncle Wiggly
lad found some cranberrics. The
low bushes were laden with them
and Mr. Longcars saw that there
| would he plenty for Thanksgiving
and also enough to pick some now
/ so Nurse Jane could make ii pic.
"I'll gather some before my
friend Mr.. Stubtail, the bear gen
tleman, comes here to eat Il lot OF
them" thought Mr.. Longcars. Fol-
hears, he knew, often ate raw Gran
berries, as they very much liked the
sour taste.
Having nothing else in which t.
put the craubcrries he picked, Uncle
! Wiggily took off his tall, silk hat
md soon it was filled with the
| dark red berries, some being notified
with white. They were about a:
! large as small marbles and wcr,
/ glossy and hard.
/ "What lovely lot of eranber
rioS, said Mr.. Longcars to himself
rs he looked at the hat which was
! filled. "Nursc Jane can make man,
pies with these. Now think I
set my hat down here on this stumI
and hop to the far end of the bog
! to see how many berry bushes ther,
are. / think there viii be enough 81

Mr.. StuDtail ate them for day and
a night there would still be plenty
left for Nurse Jane. So Uncle Wig
gily hoped back to pick up his hat
full, but, 10 and behold! When he
looked for his hat of cranberries it
was gone! 1t was not to be seen!
"Dear met" said Mr.. Longears.
Where are those cranberries 81? -
But though the wind murmured in
the bog it did not answer.
II hope the Fox or Wolf didn t
come along and take the cranberries
away said the rabbit.
just then, all of sudden, plop!
A cranberry flew through the air
and hit Cncle Wiggily on his nose.
conf cried the rabbit gentle
man. "Oh, dcar!"
Then, all of sudden, plop! An
ether cranberry flew through the
air and struck the bunny gentle
man on his left ear.
'Why, this is most surprising! "
exclaimed the rabbit. "Thesc must
be magical cranberries! Unless the
bushes themselves are throwing
them at me because they didn I
want me to pick any"
Then" Plop!" A big cranberry
nit Uncle Wiggily in the eye.
''Oh, what does this mcan?''
cried the rabbit "This is most sur.
prisingi' And what it was all about

AIRMA!L LINE NOW PLANNED,
 U. S.-CANADA
P ostal Authorities Open Negotiations, lnterna-
 tional Service

OTTAWA. July 16.- Unit States and Canadian postal author ities have opened negotiations for the Inauguration of an information al air mail service linking Montre aL Toronto and Windsor with American cities on the trans-conti- mental route, chiefly Albany and Buffalo.
 It is considered probable that other important cities or both sides of the border will be joined as the Canadian service gets under way.
 Western Canada will be survey ed this year by airmen from the department of national defense. and plans will be made for start ing air mail servico to the prairie provinces.
 The Canadian government is also sponsoring farsighted project to insure CanaGa place in the de- velopment of transoceanic air traYei. A mooring mast is beine built at St. Hubert, near Montreal It is designed to accommodate the transatlantic dirigibles projected and agreed upon by the Imperial Conference of 1926 in London.
 The mast will be ready this year and officials hope that next year will sec the service started.
 What may turn out to be the most successful of their efforts is the establishment of the light air plane clubs throughout the coun- try. The purpose of such organi- zations is to stimulate interest in flying. and that stimulus is pro- vided by the government donating, under certain specific but extreme ly simple conditions, several Moth planes to each club. At the mo- ment there are 13 Incorporated or. gsp lzations in the country, and II of them have qualified for and been furnished their government Moths.
 Centers like Montreal and To ronto find themselves equipped, but the smallei towns are now neglect ed and recently tne minister of na- tional defense, Col. J. l.. Rolston, inaugurated a club in the little municipality of Granby, Quebec.
