ESCAPES JAIL
BY PAYING FOR
CHELD'S SUPPORT

Manuel Rameriz can stay out of
Jail for 40 cents Il day.
That was the substance of the de-
cision returned by Judge Griffin at
Brawley yesterday wher iameriz
was arraigned on a charge of fail
ure to provide for a minor child.
Complaint in the ease was entered
by Marie Riglado.
y The court continued the matter
for a period of 90 days with the
provision that the defendant pay
70 cents a day for the support of
the child. After the 60-day period is
up, the decision asserts, Rameriz
must pay 80 cents a day or the
charge against him will be pressed.
Judge Griffin dismissed an act
ion against +. f. Wallace charging
him with forgery, lack of evidence
being given as reason for the de-
cision.
This same lack of evidence, how
ever, cost Wallace $50 few minutes
later when he was convicted on a
charge of destroying evidence.
According to information the ease

the first complaint to have been

Three times ht tried but each ;ime
the umbrella fell back to the
ground At last Old Crow cawed:
"Wait until there comes strong

UP to my nest.
So Uncle Wiggily waited and soon
with his tossing and the wind blow
ing the umbrella sailed high up and,
opening, fell over the Crow nest
like a black tent. The handle stuck
in the crotch of tree and was held
firmly there so that now Old Crow
had roof over his head.
How is that?' asked Uncle
Wiggily.
Fine and dandy!" cawed Old
Crow. Much obliged, Now the
rain will not splatter on me nor will
the snow get in my feathers and
give me a chill. Thank you so much.
You did me a big favor
Il am glad | eould,' answered
Mr.. Longears. "The umbrella was
of no use to me, but | am glad you
can use it.
Surely enough the next time it
rained the crow WAS as dry as an
ice-cream cone beneath the umbrella
roof over his nest And when it
showed none of the white flakes
drifted in. So with that and the
milkweed fluff lining Old Crow
thought he could live through the
winter very well.
But enc night, all of sudden,
Old Grow awakened under his UNI
hrella covered nest and he thought
to himself:
My goodness l should have Of

careless and unliind of me. The first
