UNCLE WIGGILy AND SLEEPY
SNOOPY

Not so very many years go, when
lollypops had sticks for handles ana
ice cream came IN cones, there was
little rabbit boy named SNOOPY
His last name was Longears.
Yes. Won have guessed it. snoopy
was one Of Uncle Wig1ily ; forty
sixteen little Dummies. Now pelhap,
vou may think the name snoopy
isn't very ni,e. Tor pertap you
may have been called this name in
fun. yourself, if yot tried 10 peck
around the corner 70 find out what
was going on.
But. if YOU please, Jet me tell
YOU rhat SNOOPY was a very nice
ittle rabbit 10y, indeed, and his
name was thought to be quite as
nice by his daddy his mother and
All his brothers and sisters.
SNOOPY was given that name be-
cause he was always trying 10 find
cut all he could about everything.
He was alway, hopping here and
there on lis cute little legs. and he
was always looking there and here
with his bright. pink eyes.
In this way. b. hopping AROUND
and keeping his eyes open, snoopy
found out that rain was wet. that
snow was cold and that clover was
very good to cat.

Wiggily to mis- wife one day, when

MEXICAN LABOR CONFERENCE

ut is we'll that Imperial valley is to be represented
at the conference to be held at FL Paso August 49,
to discuss the Mexican labor situation
This community is vally interested in the matter,
Mexican labor being absolutely necessary to the
of Imperial valley crops. Efforts to choke off
this labor if they succeed will impose serious handi
cap on US.
The Mexican laborer may not be the most desr-
able, but he is the best that be obtained for this
section Argument that his presence forces out white
labor is not true few whites being willing to work in
the fields he does, and fewer still being able stand
up under it. .............
The conference intends to take measures to pro-
tect the southwest against adoption Of immigration
laws which may shut it off from the only supply Of
labor available to it, Imperial valley, employing many
thousands of these laborers, is entitled to a pronin-
place in the discussion and is going to have it.

Lazy Days
On d Real
Vacation
BY Lucy Lowell

VACATION time. Plans. Prob
Y lens. Mountains or seashore;
q rest or trip; q smart hotel and
new clothes and expense or = camp
and comfort.
What shall we do? Now that It
Is vacation time. what shall We do?
As a matter Of fact the ideal va
cation is-or would be II ever there
were one-a period In which ex,
actly nothing at ali was done.
A waste Of time. you say, going
through the only two weeks out Of
all the year you have for recrea-
fion In a sort Of coma?
But this would not be the case
actually.
Do you realize that on those
days when you are doing things,
and this means when you are
going about the business OF having
good time quite ais much as when
you are working, you always are
giving out.
You are giving out to others
impressions OF your wishes, your
ideas, unloading upon them what
Is surplus in yourself
But upon the days when you
are completely lazy you are abb
sorbing; you are taking in q vast
assortment Of impressions, and
this in itself is restful, since It
means you are out of the rut
where is monotony. the real Gre
ator, of sweariness.

Is not love under whatsoever
name it may masquerade.
A mans instinct is to cherish
and protect the woman he loves;
womafi's, to long to be pro-
tected and guarded. We cannot
afford to disregard these primal
instincts.
Self-respect is a splendid quail
ity. Self-reliant, Independent mod
ern girls do not lose their heads
the moment man smiles at
them. The Independent girl takes
time to make sure that 1t is the
man himself who interests and
attracts her, not merely the
glamor of love.
But when a typical American
girl does love and marry it is
usually "for keeps" because she
Is not too independent to adjust
herself to love and willingly sac
crifices some measure of personal
liberty and irresponsibility.
Buddy wrote me the other day,
have. been going with a girl
quite steadily until lately. Then
We had a quarrel. This girl is of
sound moral character, but she
has tendency to be very inde-
pendent and quick with her
tongue. She does not appreciate
what person does for her, which
is why we quarreled. How should
young man treat girl Of that
type?
In this case independence is
carried too far. If she is so inde-
pendent of you that she is sour,
Buddy-too sharp.tongued to make
anyone happy-my suggestion Is
look out for her and If need be
look elsewhere for love.
The sour. bitter apple is usually
left hanging on the tree. But
who cares to- be sour and solitary
for the sake Of extreme inde-
pendencei
Wise is the girl who, however
efficient and capable she may be
at the office, does not radiate too
much efficiency and independence
when she is with her ''boy
friend!' She need not be exactly
helpless. either, but should con.
slider him with quick tact and let
him see that she leans on his
help and appreciates and values
his protection. In this way she
can make him and herself happy.
Cooperation with a man is not
subservience but sweetest inter.
dependence. Doubly wise and sue.
cessful is the wife who adjusts
herself to marriage, forgetting
personal liberty and putting love
first.
Hurrah for the Fourth of July!
HurTah for Independence! It is
glorious national and personal
characteristic. Nevertheless, when
1t comes to successful marriage,
too much independence is undesir-
able. The husband and wife who
give up a. degree of personal lib
erty and ease may sacrifice to
some extent independence. But
great and all-sufficient is their
reward-it is love!

John Adams wrote all ABOUT IL
to his wife the next day-July
third.
"The second day of July, 1916"
his letter read. will be the most
memorable epoch in the history
OF America. I am apt to believe
that It will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generations as the great
anniversary festival. 1t ought to
be solemnized with pomp and
parade, with shows, games, sports,
guns, bells. bonfires and illumina-,
tions, from one end of this
continent to the other from this
time forward forevermore."
When John Adams wrote this
prophecy to his wife he did not
know that on the following day,
July fourth, a formal draft of a
Declaration of independence would
be adopted by Congress. which
had the effect Of making July
fourth, instead of July second, the
great national anniversary.
Adams was a true prophet,
however, in declaring America
would celebrate independence
with pomp and parade from
this time forward" Independence
has become part of the American
character, almost part OF the
American religion. American
women and American girls fully
share this spirit of Independence,
especially now that they have
won mental independence through
higher education, business OPP
portunities and The ballot.
What effect has i this inde-
pendence on romance? Can love
be independent? Will not a
woman who is Independent in all
other respects carry her independ-
ence, into love and marriage?
These are interesting and inn
portant questions. Just how In
dependent should girl be when
1t comes to courtship? How much
independence should she expect in
marriage?
Even >John Adams. fiery and
independent though he was, did
not carry this spirit to the point
of being independent of his wife
ana net OptulOtlSs5 LOU VIII @AU~@
tice that he wrote her promptly
In full detail, not only of what
was going on in Congress, but
his own feelings, reactions and
comment as, well. John Adams
and his wife, like nearly all our
early American forefathers and
''foremothers," were closely de-
pendent on each other as pals,
friends, comrades, life partners.
Martha Washington followed
General Washington I'M all his
campaigns. usually taking up her
headquarters nearby, so that she
might keep house for the General
and make him as comfortable as
possible. He was equally depen-
dent on her counsel and solicitous
or her comfort. Even in those
days. when the spirit OF indepen-
dence filled the air, husbands and
wives studied the comfort, well
fare and happiness of each other
in q spirit of affectionate, mutual
dependence.
The fact is, love from its very
nature, Is dependent. Love values
the welfare and happiness of the
beloved before its own. Anything
