UNCLE WIGGILY'S SUMMER
SLIDE

"You are up early THIS morning,
Uncle Wiggily," said Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzv to the rabbit gentle
man as he slid down the banister
stair railing and bumped off at the
end with a jolly twinkle of his PINK
nose.
eyes. and it's good thing /
ann Mr.. Longears replied.
.Whv so!'' Nurse Jane wanted
TO know. "This is Saturday and
there is no school. You don't have
to see that your bunny boys and
girls start for the Hollow Stump
classes of the Lady Mouse on time.
81 know thatl' chuckled Uneie
Wiggily as he hurried out to the
kitchen where he could smell the
carrot coffee boiling. But | told
the children yesterday that L would
take them to a picnic in the woods
this morning, and | got up early to
help YOU pack the lunch.
"Oh, a picnic! How loxely. !,
saueaked the muskrat lady house
keeper. I'm glad you told me.
None of the children are up yet but
before they come hopping down to
breakfast l II start putting up some
thing to eat
Uncle Wiggily, having thus an
early start, everything was nearly
ready for the picnic by the time Ba-
by Bunty, Jingle, Jangle and the
other rabbit girls and boys came
hopping down to breakfast.
"Oh, you didn't forget about the
picnic you promised, did you, UnkIe
Wig:' cried Baby Bunty, givngrthe
jolly old rabbit gentleman such a
strong hug that his ears as well as
his nose were quite pink.
"No, didn't forget, laughed
Uncle Wiggily. "Come along,
everybody. We'll go to the woods
and have fun!'
Such a happy time as began then!
The rabbit boys played leapfroe
over each others backs, jumping in
this way nearer and nearer to the
woods at each hop. The rabbit girls
hurried along also, with their dolls
and at the back of the procession
came Uncle Wiggily.
Beside him were Nurse Jane and
Mrs. Longears, and the grown-ups

tables. When the lunch baskets had
been hidden away, where the boy
rabbits wouldn't stumble over them.
Uncle Wiggily said:
"Scatter about now and have
funi'
Then the play began. Some of
the boys had brought their marbles
and they started games ON the
smooth ground beneath the pine
trees where the wind softly whistled
through the long green leaves that
were shaped like darning needles.
The girl rabbits rolled their hoops,
tossed pine cones TO and fro in a
sort OF ball game or put their dolls
to sleep.
'Isn't there something else we
ear do to have fun9' asked Baby
Bunty after while. I'D like to

Matter.
HE'S GOOD-AND HOW!

There are many things we don't like,
and dividing them into two piles, one
would be labeled golf and the other
would contain the rest of our hates.
Nevertheless we take our hat off to
the daddy of them all when it comes to
clouting the little white pill around the
civilized cow-pastures-Mr. Robert Tyre
Jones, of Atlanta, Georgia.
Even though we would not recognize
stymie from niblick, and don't care to
learn the difference, we can appreciate
the fact that Mr.. Jones is in a class by
himself when it comes to golfing, and
particularly where there is cup or
title at stake.
He showed what a really great golfer
is yesterday at Hoylake, England when
he won the British open championship,
two weeks after he had taken the British
amateur title, the first man in 40 years
to accomplish the task of winning the
two titles the same year.
At last two other golfers had chances
to pass him, but they "blew up" while
the Georgia Peach" made up for few
ragged shots by superb form when the
crises came to him.
Bobby" Jones, and the success which
has come to him, is an inspiration to the
youth of America. His performances
and the place which he holds in the
world of sports, is an incentive to thous-
ands of boys and others who are no long
er boys, to get out on the golf links. For
the youngsters, there is chance that
they too may some day be Bobby Joneses'.
The oldsters of course frequently know
that if they could just get in match
with Bobby" they could trim him.
The American youths who tramp over
the links, hoping to learn how Jones
does it, are not the material from which
gangsters, racketeers and their ilk are
recruited.
Like his fellow Georgian, Mr.. Tyrus
Raymond Cobb of Royston, "Bobby's"
niche in the world of sports is pre-eml-
nent.

for well the rabbit gentleman knew
that even rabbit children don't like
to stay quiet very long.
cried Bunty. ''Whv, it can't be
done,''
'Oh. yes it can,' said Uncle Wig
gily. smiling bneath his pink nose.
'See that hill?' and he pointed to
one on which grew many pine trees,
though not so close together but
what one could slide between them.
Baby Bunty looked at the hill.
You can't slide down that un-
less there is snow or ice on il, - she
said. "You'r only teasing me. -
"No, | am not-watch!' cried
Uncle Wiggily. He hoped to the
top of the pine tree hill, gave little
run part way down and then, bra
cling his paws he tegan to slip and
slide as nicely as if there were sheet
of ice there. And, mind you, this
was in summer.
"Oh, what makes Daddicums

Because, said Uncle Wiggily,
as he hopped over near the lunch
baskets, "that hill is covered with
old brown pine needles. They are
like "A carpet on the hill and very
slippery carpet. Try it-you can all
have Il summer slide on the pine
needle hill!'
Surely enough, when the rabbit
children gave 4 little run down the
slope and braced their paws. it was
almost as if they were sliding on
an icy or snowy hill. One after an
other they slid, shouting and yelling
in glec.
" fiurray for Unkie Wigs summer

ONE MORE TO GO

One more hurdle remains to be taken
at Washington before the steam shovels
can start to work at Boulder dam.
Passage of the second deficiency bill
by the house of representatives last
night, carries with it the Presidents ap-
preparation of S1O,66O,000 for prellmln-
ary work on Boulder dam.
The deficiency bill now faces the sem
ate, where friends of the Boulder dam
project expect trouble. Senators Ash
urst and Hayden of Arizona have made
known their intention to flllbuster
against the bill, and it remains to be
seen just how strong their threat will
be.
If the bill is passed by the senate, it
will possibly be September before the
first real work at the damsite can be
started. Secretary Wilbur, in one ap-
pearance before the house appropriations
committee, while it was conducting hear
ings on the appropriation, stated work
could be started 'five minutes" after the
bill was passed.
This was figuratively speaking. 1t
will require two months or more to clear
details out of the way and begin on the
townsite which the government will es-
tablish at the damsite for the men and
women who will live there during its con-
struction. A real city will be laid out
and Uncle Sam will boss it.
Once the steam shovels get to singing
up on the Colorado, Imperial Valleys
long drawn out battle will really be at
an end Having waited this long, it will
not be much of job to wait couple
of more months.
Supporters of the bill in the senate are
ready to take advantage of every means
to get the legislation through that body.
Again the old warhorse, Hiram Johnson,
will be in the van, leading Imperial Val
ley's battle. Judging from his record in
the past, he ought to win again. Certain
ly the valley could have no better man
leading its battle than the doughty war
rior from San Francisco.

Harvard Crew Is

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 2l.
W.P>-Yale S supremacy of the
Thames continued unchecked today
after the 6Sth renewal of the Yale

season in the last eight years, Yale 5
varsity scored six length running
triumph over Harvard in the four
mile race down stream last night

year that Ed Leaders oarsmcn have
outdistanced the Harvard crew.
Yale's varsity rowed the four

A Statement

June ~, l9ou
The Imperial Valley Press,
Ell Centre, California.
Concerning the office of county
recorder, with respect to the report
and comments of the grand jury on
my conduct of the same, as publish
ed in Thursdays Press, l am ask
ing you to receive and use the fol-
lowing as my statement in connec-
tion with the same:
First: AS to the comments on
the cashiers check delivered by me
to the grand jury; this check was to
and does cover payments to be
made by me to the secretary of
state; the report of the grand jury
would make it appear that l have
withheld payment to the secretary
of state until the grand jury forced
me to make payment to them of this
item. The facts are, however, that
the secretary of state since early in
the month of April has had check
for this identical matter but that
the amount of the same has not
been available to me or to the see
retary of state so that the same
could be filled in by the secretary
of state, due to the fact that the
district attorney of Imperial county
and the grand jury had all of my
records pertaining to the same and
refused to furnish either myself or
the secretary of state with the
amount of the item in question, al
though request therefor was made
both by myself and the secretary OF
state.
Second: with respect to the
matter of the alleged shortage"
concerning claimed overpayment to
copyists l think it is only fair
that the public should be advised
that the sole foundation for this
matter arises out Of the following
situation. When a document is pre-
sented to the recorders office for
recording an estimate is made of
the number of folios contained
therein, and the charge is then made
to the party producing the instru-
ment based upon that estimate; this
money when received by me is then
paid to the county treasurer; the
copyist then presents her demand
upon the county treasurer for this
identical sum of money for the
copying of the particular instrument
in question. By folio, we mean
each hundred words contained in an
instrument. 1t is not the practice
anywhere to count each and every
word contained in an instrument,
but rather to estimate the same. If
any eopyist through this method
has received few pennies more
for copying any document, upon an
actual count, word by word, the
County of Imperial is not out one
penny therefor.
The grand jury has apparently
received legal advice that such "A
method as is used by recorders gem
orally constitutes some tremendous
offense against the County of I'm
perial. If such be the ease the dis
trict attorney has been instructed
to bring suit concerning the same,
and ! welcome such proceeding as
/ know ! will be entirely vindicat-
ed If such proceeding is ever
filed.
Yours very truly,
(signed) BIRD Il. HOBBY,
County Recorder, Imperial County,
California. (ADV.)

RETURN MATCH
FOR TITLE WILL
BE FALL EVENT
Schmeling Agrees to Meet
Sharkey If Conditions
Are Accepted.
By DIXON STEWART
rynited Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 21.-Possibili-
ty of a return bout between Max
Schmeling and Jack Sharkey today
depended upon Arthur Bulow, Jack
Sharkey and the National Broad
casting company.
Sehmeling agreed yesterday to de-
fend his title in September If the
following conditions are met:
l. Schmeling must be released
from any further obligations toward
his repudiated manager, Arthur Bu-
low.
2. Sharkey must agree to give
Schmeling a return bout next sum
mer, in event the Bostonian wins
the title.
3. Graham McNamee, National
Broadcasting company announcer,
must not be permitted to broadcast
the fight, nor any other fight In
which Max engages.
4. Joe Jacobs must be recognized
as Schmeling's manager by the New
York State Athletic commission and
Madison Square Garden.
Both the Garden and Sharkey had
previously volunteered to buy off
Bulow's claims and Sharkey had
agreed to accept the challenger s
share of 1914 per cent of the re-
ceipts, leaving Schmeling the 37H
per cent customarily awarded the
champion.
Jacobs was barred "for life' by
the New York commission last year
when Schmeling ran out on con-
taret to fight Phil Scott but fhe
prospect Of another 100000 gate is
expected to cause the commission to
give the desired approval of Jacobs

Jacobs and Schmeling were dis
satisfied with the broadcast of the
Sharkey-SchmesIng bout, June II
but it is doubtful that they will al

Sharkey has announced that he
will refuse to accept victory or
foul. He said that if he commit
ted foul he would pay all expenses
for staging the bout over again OF

fear today in French circles that it
would disagree wholly with the idea.
In all of the replies it was noted with
satisfaction that insistenee would be
Arm upon maintaining the League of
Nations in its whole form.
The problem of colonies, raised by
Holland, was expected to be one of the
most difficult for solution. but France,
affected as much or more than any
other nation, would be as much con-
cerned as any of her neighbors. Most
of Frances territory and three-f1fths of
her population are in her colonies.
France, for that reason, does not
see colonies as barrier to a European
federation, but merely as a complica-
ton that will be met by good will
and study when the nations get down
to brass tacks later on.
Turkey and Russia.
Italy's insistence that Russia and
Turkey must be invited to join the fed
Grafton was regarded as another i'm
portant problem. 1t was observed
among French officials that it was a
matter of Judgment where to limit
membership.
Russia is in Europe but also extends
far into Asia. Turkey is mostly in
Asia. Both have wide contacts with
European states, but, it was argued, If
the membership of a European union
should be extended far into Asia, the
matter of where the line should be
drawn would be difficult question to
answer,
