drops, marshmallows and many
other kinds of candy.
Johnnie Bushytail bought lolly-
pops, or, as he called them, pops
one for himself. one for his brother,
Billie. and one for Sister Sallie, who
was a little squirrel girl, as cute
as a gum drop.
We'll, is everything all right,
Johnnie?" asked Uncle Wiggily as
he put the candy he had bought
into his pocket and started to hop
back to his hollow stump bungalow.
Everything is all right with me, >
chartered the squirrel boy. Il have
a pop for Billie, a pop for Sister
Sallie and one for myself.
Let's go!" called Uncle Wiggily
Away they started, the old gentle
man rabbit and the little squirrel
boy. Uncle Wiggily carried the bag
of candy he had bought for his wife
so she could make a little party
Johnnie carried the pops, or. if you
insist on being correct and formal
lollypops.
All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
reached a saSsafras bush, out from
behind it jumped a magazoolum.
Now a magazoolum is a very queer
animal. He always wants to pull
the pink, twinkling nose of rabbit
gentlemen. And as soon as the
magazoolum saw Uncle Wiggily
right away he hoWled:
I'm going to pull his nose!'
NO, indeed you aren't" chartered
Johnnie, the squirrel boy, politely
but firmly. Indeed you arer rt!'
Who will stop me?" howled the
magazoolum.
4 will said Johnnie, bravely.
What With?" asked the maga-
zoolum.
With my popsl' chartered John
HE. With that he took the sticks
off the lollypops and tickled the
magazoolum SO hard in the ribs
that the Bad Chap laughed and
sneezed and got the hiccoughs and
couldn't pull Uncle Wiggily's nose
So everything was all right. The
bunny hoped home with the candy
for the party, Johnnie scrambled
home with the pops without the
sticks and if the bath tub will please
stop chasing the wash rag around
the cake of soap, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's candy party
Imperial Valley press., 1931-09-22
Away they started.

would be very sweet OF you to go to
the store and get some candy for
the party"
1T shall be done Immediately, .
vas Uncle Wiggily's answer.
L think you had better do it with
money" said his wife, sort of max
ing a joke. "If you go to the store
with pleasure, only, they might not
give you candy for the party
y viii take money with pleasure, -
said Mr.. LongearS, and off he
hoped over the hills and through
the woods to the store to get some
candy for the party his wife was
going to have for the animal chill
dren.
Uncle Wiggily had not hoped
very far before, in the woods. he
saw Johnnie Bushtail, the squirrel
boy.
Where are you going, Johnnie?"
asked Uncle Wiggily.
L am going to the store for some
pops, chartered Johnnie. Chatter.
ing was the way Johnnie always
talked. All squirrels chatter.
oh so you are going to the
store for some pops, are you?" asked
Uncle Wiggily. Il suppose you mean
bottles Of soda which I have often
heard spoken Of as pop said the
rabbit And if one bottle Of soda
is q pop, suppose two or more bot
ties are pops.
mo excuse me for saying so"
chartered Johnnie. L am not 60
ing after soda pop. l am going
after lollypops But I call them
pops for short It's a way have. "
"Oh, 1 see ard Uncle Wiggily
laughed Wei, as long as you are
going after pops, or lollypops, which
are the same thing, as I am going
after candy for a little party my
wife is making up for the bunny
children, why we might as well 90
along together
Surely chartered the squirrel
boy. SO he and Uncle Wiggily
hoped along over the hills and
through the woods until they
reached the candy store There Mr.
Longears bought jelly beans, licorice

Wheeler -WOOIsey
Picture Shows
Again Tonight

Caught Plastered," the title OF
the new starring vehicle for Bert
Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, prom
ised an interesting evening at the
Fox Imperial theater last night, and
a crowd flocked through the doors
at the theater, to flock out again
thoroughly satisfied with the mirth-
full comedy.
Showing again tonight, Caught
Plastered" should draw a crowd as
large as that of last night. Tonights S
two shows will end the run of this
popular picture in Ell Centro.
Wheeler and WoolSey have be-
come known as members of one of
the funniest comedy teams on the
silver screen today. Each a COM
petent comedian in his own right
they are unbeatable when paired
together
With them in their latest Radio
Picture is Dorothy Lee, who has had
a decorative part in making every
Wheeler -Woolsey picture the sue
cess it has been.
In this picture Wheeler and Wool
sey have a chance to display all
their ability as couple OF enter
prising drug store clerks who run
into difficulties, but always find a
way out.
The work of Lucy Beaumont, in
ternationally famous as a character
actress, should not be overlooked in
viewing Caught Plastered" She
takes the part of the old woman
whose drug store is about to be
seized for debts by bootlegger and
crook.

HOMESTEAD SUIT 4
Is DECIDED FOR
OWNERS OF LAND

United States court rulings con-
cerning desert land entries were
cited by Judge Vaughn N. Thomp-
son as a basis for his decision in
favor of Myrtle and Adolph Becker
in their suit against Glen II. Mum
kelt, the memorandum of decision
being filed in the county clerks
office yesterday afternoon.
The land in question lies in I'M
perial Valley and. it was testified
at the trial, was known as the Myr-
tie Becker ranch. She had filed
upon it and therefore as entry
woman could retain it as her OWE
and not as community property,
Judge Thompson explained.
Growing out of former suit in
IUhe courts OF San Diego county, that
tried in the local court required
several days and was considered
important to those who had made
desert land entries.
Since Mrs. Becker was not made
party TO the San Diego county
suit and no claim asserted against
her. the Security Commercial and
Savings bank had no foundation
for establishment of an attachment
lien on the Imperial Valley land-
Judge Thompson explained in tfN
memorandum. Mrs. Becker, &C
cording TO the memorandum, was
not shown as a party to certain
trust agreements and the judge
found no evidence of fraud. The
attachment was based on a judg-
ment for the bank returned by a
San Diego court.

FARMING IN SANTA CRuz

Santa Cruz County is essen
TALLY an agricultural district
with most of its area of 786 $50
acres given over to farming and
stock raising.
Approximately 1900 acres are
under irrigation in Santa Cruz
river valley. while an estimated
2, 700 acres are devoted 70 dry
farming. Tho usual crops of
alfalfa, cotton and grains are
grown. The principal cash
crop, however, is the Mexican
/ bean. M
Santa Cruz county is the
smallest of Arizona's IA counties
and is 18th in population, yet it
was one of the first to attract
white settlement. This was lar
gely due to the mining industry
which is important in the listed
resources of the district.
It is believed that the first
mining sclaim ever recorded
west OF the Rocky mountains
was set up near Nogales, now
the principal city of the coun
ty, in 1924. Mining experts
maintain that one of the great
est mineral regions Of the world
lies withia 30-mile radius of
Nogales.
Although mining no longer
predominates 10 the section now,
there are other contributing
factors to the general wealth Of
the county. This section is con
sidered one of the best livestock
breeding ranges in the state,
due to the abundance of native
feeds and mild winters.
There are more than 30, 900
head Of range cattle in the coun
ty besides one of the largest
herds of pure bred Herefordicat
tie in the world, located infthe
San Rafael valley, Is miles,east
of Nogales, owned by the Green
