Gle Wiggily was a little frightened.
Leave him to mel" grunted the
pig. And when the Bob Cat came
close enough, Mr.. Twistytail said:
Run away or I'll turn you into
a pancakel"
Pooh! Just as if you could do
that" laughed the Bad Chap with
the silly little tail. I'D like TO see
you make me into a pancake!"
We'll, here I go!" cried the pig.
With that. big and fat as he was,
he sat on the Bob Cat and squashed
him quite flat. just like piece OF
paper And the Bad Chap hoWled
"Yowl Vow! Yowr three times and
the wind blew him away.
How was that, Wiggy?" asked
the pig.
Very good and jolly" answered
the rabbit. But now let's hurry TO
the movies before something else
happens"
Soon the two friends were laugh
ing at the funny talking pictures.
But every once in a while Uncle
Wiggily would look at his watch.
He is worried about something,
thought the pig. And what it was
you shall soon hear. For the next
story will be about Uncle Wiggilys
climb up. That is, if the baaker man
will leave some rolls to turn somer-
saults on top of the apple pie.

WHY GRAND JURIES?
W. G.. COSTELLO.
Manager

More than one taxpayer throughout
the state will agree with the views OF
Judge John L. Fleming, presiding Judge
of the Los Angeles superior court, rel
ative to grand j1ries, and will wish other
California Judges would adopt them.
The Judge condemned the practice OF
grand iuries remaining in session tor
great lengths of time, doing investigat-
inr work that could better be done by the
district attorneys office. After three
months work and the expenditure OF
$4,000. investigating the city govern
ment. he declared the Los Angeles grand
Jury had indicted three negroes.
More than one person has asked the
question. why a grand jury mere
is no doubt a lawyer could give dozens
of reasons for their existence, but to the
layman they appear to be Ike 1l11h
wheel on a wagon.
Composed of men and women from
various walks of life, and with little or
no training along the lines of criminal
investigation, the grand jury does not
hesitate to take up any CRIMINAL case IN
which it may be interested, or which IS
referred to it by the district attorney,
spending much time and money in ar
irving at a conclusion which the latter
should be able to reach with his own In
vestigators and police authorities.
Judge Fleming's plan to call grand
iurv into session for a few weeks each
wear seems sufficient to account Tor Its
existence.

1T OUGHT TO SPREAD

City Registrar Jack Crosse of st.
Louis has started something for which
he deserves medal and it is to be hoped
the movement will spread to all parts of
the country.
At dinner of St. Louis businessmen,
Crosse acted as tOaStmaster. He had
nine speakers on the program and all
the speeches were completed in 20 min
utes, thanks to Crosse and an ''eXecu-
ton squad which made veiled threats
as to what might happen to any long
wlnded orator.
If there is anything more boring than
the average after dinner speech it is two
after dinner speeches. Many man, and
woman too. has attended public func-
tion meditating murder as they had to
sit and listen to one speaker after an
other.
An interesting speaker is always en-
joyable and as a usual thing they never
talk any too long 1t is always the man
or woman with nothing to say, and not
knowing how to say it, who inspires that
murderous feeling.
If the campaign against lengthy
speeches spreads as we hope it does, it
will have the backing of every newspa-
perman in the country for all of the
craft have suffered and suffered and
suffered from large and unhealthy over
doses of "hOt air.

denying the accusation and insisting that
Charles never would have filed suit if
he had not been urged on by young
and beautiful widow"
If Bessie has been cruel, it certainly
has taken Charles long time to find it
out so long in fact that seeking a di
vorce at this late date stamps him as
dumb for having endured it so long.
Knowing nothing of the case aside
from dispatches, our sympathies are with
Bessie. These old fellows often get fool

Crook Comedy Is
Theatre Offering

A crook play" that is not real
crook play but comedy and romance
combined, is the best description OF
only Saps Work" which opens to-
night at Fox Imperial Theatre.
Richard Arlen and Mary Brian
have the leading roles in the play
and are ably assisted in the comedy
work by Leon Enrol, oldtime musl-
cal comedy star. and Stuart Erwin
Arlen is cast as the son OF a
wealthy man who is nearing two
years of effort to convince his
father that he has settled down from
his riotous youth and is willing to
work. He is in love with a girl and
the outlook is rosy when he loses his
job and accepts a menial position
in a health resort.
He gets mixed up with a clever
and likeable crook who leads him
into deep water, particularly when
the girl and her father come to the
health resort.
Owen Davis wrote the play, which
stamps it as a real success. Those
who enjoy plenty of good, whole
some laughter will not want to
