PROPOSITION NO. 2

This proposition which will be placed before the
voters at the November election, simply asks the ct
zens of California to ratfy action already taken by
the legislature in voting one million dollars IN bondS
to defray the expenses of the 1882 Olympic Games
which are to be held in Los Angeles. =.
1t is difficult job to advance any sound reason
ing against the proposition.
Off-handed, the watchful guardians of the public
purse strings might consider million dollars great
deal of money to spend athletics. So 1t would be,
if it were simply for athletics. But in bringing pro-

It is estimated that 10000 athletes from hall
hundred countries will come to California IN l93Z

over a period of months, many organizations plan TO
hold their conventions here that year. All OF these

"Where are you going adventure

Iongtail, the mouse lady, as she
hurried back from the field where
she had been to gather some grains
OF wheat that the farmer had drop
ped when harvesting his crop in
the summer.

Longcars - shall hop over the

Longtail ard then she hurried home
to give her children, Jollie, Jillie

the potato was white and mcaly,

"And do You thinN | want \

Hawk, and in his claws he picked
up the largest one. The Weasel and
Hawk were going to throw the
potatoes at Uncle Wiggily, but the
Bad Chaps forgot that the potatoes
were very hot.
"Wow!" howled the Weasel rs he
felt his paws burning. "Zow!
shrilly yelled the Hawk as the hot
potato burned his claws, and then
the two Bad Chaps dropped what
they had picked up and scurried
away rs fast as they could, leaving
Uncle Wiggily safe and alone.
"Hai Ha!' laughed the rabbit
gentleman. "'Thcy didn't know
enough to use sharp sticks for
knives and forks so they wouldn t
