thoughtful glance back over the years
and concludes that young people. taken
by and large are Just about what they
always were.
Young people haven't changed fund
amentally in 80 years he says. They
are all going to the same places, only
their ways lie over hard roads in auto
mobiles, or in airplanes, and TO the ac-
compartment Of radios.
The economic and social conditions are
different. but not the psychology of
youth. There are Just as many serious
minded students and just as many
frivolous ones as 80 years ago."
All Of this sounds logical enough, but
it is vaguely disappointing A man who
has kept watchful eye on university stu
dents for over quarter of century
ought to have something to say about the
revolt of youth, or the way in which the
younger generation is going to perdition.
We expect it of him. It's an old Ameri-
can custom.
Still, the gentleman probably knows
what he is talking about and his sum-
ming-up makes one wonder if this whole
youth problem" isn't one of those per-
ennial problems that never get solved,
never get worse and never lead to any
thing in particular.
1t is the function of youth to be in re-
volt, to be disrespectful of its elders, to
do things that the generation just ahead
thinks scandalous. Every young gen.
Grafton" since the days of Pharoahs'
probably, has been that way. This, in
deed, is the one unchanging thing in a
changing world.
Indeed, we older ones get shocked by
the doings of the youngsters-weren't we
ourselves, few years ago, shocking our
own elders? And weren't they, in turn,
doing the same thing few decades be-
fore? All of these revots that we and
our fathers and our grandfathers led
where are they now? Living on in the
youth of today, perhaps-otherwise, non
existent.
The fact is both comforting and sad
dening. Youth isn't going to upset the
applicant 1t will grow up, presently,
get disilusioned, and raise its own hands
over the antics of its children. 1t al
ways has, and it always will. Sometimes
one almost wishes that it wouldn't.

COR the time being we bid farewell to
1 readers of this column, hoping by the
time this appears in print to be many
miles on our way toward the home of
the wooden nutmeg and the fellow who
raised hob with King Arthur's court
"The Connecticut Yankee"
Once more we look forward to the op-
portunity of taking a close hand squint
at Uncle Sans backyard, and the pleas
ure of watching the other fellow work
while we enjoy life. After a summer
like this one we honestly feel that it is
pleasure earned.
We leave our work in capable hands
and believe readers of this column will
enjoy our vacation as much as we will.
They will not be bothered with US for
several weeks.
During our absence we confidently eX-
pect the various problems of the valley
will be solved and upon our return we
will find the All-American canal already
under construction, with Brockman and
Beal swinging picks and shovels on it;
the north enders will have two supervis-
ors or another county, whichever they
wish; there will be so much water in the
river that we can all go swimming, and
the supervisors will have cut the tax rate
down to four bits, with 90 cents rebate
if paid on schedule.
Growing a bit personal, we have alb
solutely no interest in the new school
teacher crop, the first time in many years
that such has been the case. Our reasons
NAV be known to most but we'll keep
them out of print for while at least.
Much as the trip intrigues Us, we will
look forward with pleasure to our return
to Ell Centre and Imperial Valley, the
resumption of happy friendships, which
are the choicest of possessions, and to
donning once more, the work harness,
which is to be vie9ed as blessing and
not task.
Until that time comes we knock off
from the typewriter with the friendliest
farewell-Adios.

DELMAR NOVEL
COMES TO FOX
HOUSE TONIGHT

A screen perturbation of Vina
Delmar's sensational novel, Bad

role. will hold the attention of Ell
Centre theater fans tonight and to-
morrow night when shown at the
Fox theater.
AS novel the story of Bad
Girl" gripped the collective imagi-
nation of America until the book
became a best seller and one of the
most discussed novels of the time.
As a motion picture, Bad Girl
gives promise of exceeding even the
book in portrayal of startling STU
ations.
In this picture James Dunn, recent
recruit to the talkies from the New
York stage, makes a screen debut
that promises much for his future.
In this story of adolescent love, mar
riage and maternity Dunn gives a
performance worthy of the most I'm
ished screen veteran.
The story deals with the romance
of a young shop girl in New York
with a young garage mechanic, and
tells of their rather indiscreet love
affair. Frank Borzage directed the
picture. asserted by screen officials
to be the most touching picturiza-
ton of motherhood ever screened.

HOG PRODUCTION
ON FARMS HERE
BEING BOOSTED

Much interest has been manifest
ed locally in the plans of the FL
Centre Chamber of Commerce to
increase the hog production OF I'm
perial Valley, to the end 1t would
bring increased profits to the dairy
men Of this community, according
to Robert Hayes, manager OF the
local chamber.
Hays stated much local interest
was expected as Imperial Valley
farmers are receptive to new ideas,
but that the chamber board was
amazed at the interest the move
for increased hog production has
created outside of Imperial county
and that number Of letters have
been received from non-residents
owning land in Imperial Valley,
persons in nearby communities and
those interested on the coast in hog
production.
A letter was receiv ID at the cham
Der yesterday from H. A. Thew,
secretary of the city of Sierra Ma
Dire, stating that he is seeding $40
acres near West to alfalfa with the
intention Of entering the hog bust
ness and that he has noticed from
newspaper articles published in val
ley papers that the Ell Centre cham
Der has data available on the queS-
ton OF hog production.
The hog production project was
taken up by the Ell Centre chamber
in connection with the campaign TO
increase the consumption of Impe-
rial county dairy products. 1t was
believed by many dairymen that, by
feeding skim milk to hogs, excess
skim could be utilized and that the
/ low feeding cost combined with rel
atively high market prices for pork
would bring the dairymen OF this

UNCLE WIGGILY GOES HOME

Uncle Wiggily was asleep in his
automobile. So was Mr.. Twistytail,
the jolly, fat pig gentleman. The
automobile, with the red, pink, blue
and yellow snakes curled around the
wheels for tires, stood in the woods.
But the snakes were not asleep,
They were talking among them
selves in the kissing way that
snakes talk-like a steam radiator
on a cold morning. Said the pink
snake to the red snake:
Il think we can no longer be
tires for Uncle Wiggily's auto. We
have been rolling around long
enough 1t is time we went home.
q think so, too" said the yellow
snake.
You remember, after Uncle Wig
gily and Mr.. Twistytail set out for
an adventure ride in the bunny s
auto. a hungry tramp dog ate the
bologna sausage tires. Then Uncle
Wiggily got some jolly old snakes
to curl around the auto wheels to
act as tires. But now the tire
snakes were tired Of being tires, so
10 speak.

off through the woods, and when
Mr.. Twistytail and Uncle Wiggily
had put the sausage tires on the
auto. into the car they hoped ana
began to ride home.
Il wonder if we shall have an
adventure on the way homer asked
Mr.. Twistytail of Uncle Wiggily, as
they motored along.
perhaps answered the rabbit
II don't know what kind it will be,
but I'm sure we'll have one"
Just then, all of a sudden, Uncle
Wiggilys auto ran into deep mud
hole. or bog, and there it stuck. The
hole was so deep and the mud was
so sticky that the auto was held
fast.
pear me! What's this?" grunt-
ed the pig.
Il should say 1t was an adyen-
ture," said Mr. Longears.
And not a very jolly one. either,
grunted the pig. How are we to
get home now when We are stuck
in the mud?"
"I1l give her plenty Of gas and
see if she will pull out" said Uncle
Wiggily. speaking OF his car as
she" But though he turned on
all the power the car was still stuck
in the mud hole and 1t began TO
look as if Uncle Wiggily and Mr..
Twistytail would have to stay there
all night. But, all Of sudden, a
crashing noise was heard in the
bushes and the pig exclaimed:
Here comes another adventure.
NO" said Mr.. Longears, its the
Jolly old elephant that used TO work
in a circus. Hell pull us out of the
mud"
surely I will" said the elephant
Standing on firm ground he
reached out his long. hosey nosey
trunk. took hold of the auto and
with a zone, two and three" out OF
the mud he pulled 1t.
Now were all right" said Uncle
WieRiiy Thanks, Mr.. Elephant.
You are welcome said the big
circus animal. Then he went of
through the woods singing. Uncle
Wiggily rode home in the auto with
Mr.. Twistytail and all was well

is time we went back to our homes.
Let's awaken Uncle Wiggily and tell
him so"
The snakes all Kissed together
like five radiators, for there were
four snakes on the wheels and one
as a spare tire on the back.
What's that noise?" asked Uncle
Wiggily as he opened his eyes.
What noise?" grunted Mr.. Twis-
tytail, as he, also, awakened.
That kissing sound" said Mr..
Longears.
we hissed,' said the yellow
snake I'VE are sorry, Uncle Wig
gily, but we can no longer b. tires
for you. We must go home
We'll, that's all right, spoke the
rabbit gentleman. Il could not ex-
pect you TO be my auto tires much
longer. You have done me a big
favor. I am also going home My
adventure trip is over
Yes, but listen here, Wiggy,
said Mr.. Twistyail we can't ride
home in your auto without some
sort of tires on the wheels We
can't bump along on bare rims"
mo, I suppose not" agreed Mr.
Longears. Il wish 1 knew where ]
could get some more bologna
sausage tires. I'd put them on my
auto and we'd ride home and tell
my wife of the. jolly adventure
we've had.
There's a meat market down the
road" said the red snake. Il think
you can get bologna sausages there.
Good cried Uncle Wiggily II
hop down there and get some tires
for my auto
No sooner said than done Down
the road hoped the rabbit He
bought four, large. round bologna
sausages as tires for the four wheels
of his car. Then he bought an ex.
