Hundreds of US look back to the time a decade

was sight that talked of for weeks before and

At that time aviation was in the same state as so
many of our modern conveniences 1--WE now consider
them necessities) once were. The FLYER was consid-

was perfectly content to risk his neck.

THOMPSON STICKS TO KNITTING

Attempts to lnSlnuate that heavy Slush fund is
behind Judge Vaughn n. Thompson in his campaign
for election to the superior court bench bound
fall of their weight, because of their ridiculous
ness.
We know of no individual group of individuals
IN Imperial Valley at present having any large
of money to spread around and any claim that the
contrary is is false primarily from an economic
standpoint.
Even such fund available, Judge Thomp-
is not the type of who would it. His
honesty is too well known to need any defense. His
cord during twenty years residence in Imperial Valley
during which time his reputation with his brother at
orneys and fellow citizens has been of the highest
open to all who care to investigate it.
Charges that cannot be substantiated hurt
but those who make them. They have peculiar habit
of acting boomerangs, and though their course at
times may be somewhat lengthy, they invariably
back from whence they started snite those who
started them.
In this campaign Judge Thompson is seriously
handicapped by double duty on the bench in the alb
sence of Judge Finney Circulating among the voters
is difficult owing the demands made upon his time
by his judicial duties Not day by that he is not
on the bench doing what campaigning he in odd
moments when his duty permits.
He realizes that the conviction that he would per-
form his duty faithfully is what prompted Gov Young
to appoint him Judge last spring succeed the late
Judge Larew. Even were this not So Judge Thompson
the type who his duty to the people Of the state
of California first and his private interests second.
No man made mistake remaining faithful to
his duty The Press does not believe Judge Thompson
making any mistake by tending strictly to his knit
ting We believe the people of Imperial Valley will re-
ward that fathfuness duty August 2S by elect
ing him to the superior court of the county.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

The hot August sun shone down
on the field where a farmer, hav-
ing cut his hay, had raked the dried
grass into piles. half round in shape
and looking like the igloos, or ice
huts, of the Eskimos at the North
Pole. But if an Eskimo igloo had
been in the hay field that summer
day il would soon have melted into
a puddle of ice water and then it
might have boiled. For it was very
hot.

it looks like rain and rain will

Thew TIE farmer and his men
drove a big wagon into the field
and began loading on it the differ
ent piles of hay. \ man would
stick his pitchfork into mound of
dried grass and lift nearly all Of
II, with one swoop, upon the hay
wagon where another man spread it
about smoothly.
Uncle Wiggily did not wake up
hay and the rabbit gentleman was
asleep when "A man 5 pitchfork (the
sharp points luckily not touching
him) lifted the hay pile upon the
hay wagon.
1t was the last of the pile to be
lifted on that load and did not
need much scattering about. So the
pile of hay, with Uncle Wiggily
asleep inside it, was soon being
ridden on the hay wagon toward
the barn.
Pretty soon, however, the jolting
of the wagon wakened Mr.. Long

There was nothing to do but wait
until the hay wagon was driven into
the barn and then Mr.. Longears
thought he could slide down and
run away. Soon the load of hay
rumbled over the barn floor.
"Unload," cried the farmer. He
and his men stuck their pitchforks
into the load of hay and lifted big
piles of it off the wagon and toss

the hay would be kept for the
horses to eat during the winter.

start. For it felt just as if some
one had stuck a pin in his pink,
twinkling nose.
But when the rabbit gentleman
looked he saw it was only dried
spear of grass that had stuck his
nose Then he smiled and bit off
the stem, so it no longer pricked
him and went to sleep in the sweet
pile of spicy, pcrfumed hay.
Now soon after this the farmer
said to his men:

new LEADER IS
FARMERS NEED
Campbell Speaker at Steele
Meeting; Silver to Talk
Here Tonight

Steele, N. D., Oct. 23.-Records Of
Governor Walter Maddox and Alfred
E. Smith were reviewed here last
night by Wallace Campbell in an
effort to show that only the election
Of Democratic leaders will prevent
the farmers from entering into at
state of peasantry.
Campbell was substituted as the
principal speaker at Democratic
meeting last night for Gray Silver,
farm relief leader from West Vir-
ginia. who was unable to attend the
gathering.
Silver is scheduled to address a
Democratic gathering at the Bur-
leigh county courthouse tonight, &C.
cording to announcements made by
the state Democratic headquarters
at Bismarck.
P. w. Lanier, Democratic candi-
date for the attorney generalship,
also was a speaker. Herbert F.
SWEET was chairman.
Campbell devoted his talk to three
principal topics-farm relief, prohi-
bition, and "the so-called Republican
prosperity"
Public records of the work of Wal
ter Maddox were quoted to show
that ''he is always the farmers
friend and will make a success of
the state-owned institutions if he is
elected" Maddox for many years
has been working for farm equality,
Campbell declared, and he will con-
tinue to do so if he is elected.
Campbell flayed what he termed
the "so-called Republican prosper
ity," and quoted figures showing the
number of bank and farm failures
