Yes, it is"
And isn't everything in it yours,
also?p

rabbit.
well, them went on the pig,
since this cake is in your bunga-
low it's yours and we're going to
take it adventuring with u.s."
Very well,' spoke Uncle Wig
gily, resigned like and patient.
So Mr.. Longears and Mr. Twisty-
tail started off adventuring with
the cake all covered, as they
thought, with white icing. Over the
fields and through the woods they
wandered, looking for adventures,
but none could they find until, ali
of a sudden, out from beneath a
snow drift popped the Weasel.
Now Mr. Twistytail, being big
and fat, wasn't afraid of the
Weasel, but Uncle Wiggily was,
And when the Weasel looked at the
rabbit with hungry eyes, Mr.. Long
ears started to run away.
Don't rum" grunted the pig.
IF I don't run the Weasel will
nibble mel" said the bunny.
I'll let him nibble something
else" said the pig. How would you
like to nibble a nice, fresh baked
cake with white icing between the
layers and on top, Mr.. Weasel,
asked the pig.
Il should love It'll" squeaked the
Weasel.
Then eat thisl" cried the pig
gentleman, taking from his pocket
Uncle Wiggily's cake. He tossed it
to the Weasel and when the Bad
Chap saw the white icing, as he
thought, on top, he took big bite.
But the next moment queer look
came over his face, he stuck out his
tongue and cried:
Water! Water! Waterl Oh,
I'm full Of shaving soap! Waterl
Waterl"
Away ran the Weasel to wash the
bad taste out of his mouth, and Mr.
Twistytail said:
II don't understand how shaving
soap got on that cake"
II do" Uncle Wiggily said with
laugh. II left the bowl of shay
ing soap lather on the kitchen
table, near where Nurse Jane must
have left the cake, and somebody
put my shaving soap on in place
OF the icing"
"Well, it's good thing they did,
said the fat pig.
And when Mr.. Longears heard il
was Jingle and Jangle who mistook
| the soap lather for icing, he said
they were very clever.

UNCLE WIGGHY'S CAKE

Uncle Wiggily came hopping back
to his hollow stump bungalow. The
old rabbit gentleman was sad, for
he had been out looking for an ad-
venture, but none could he find.
"Ah, me-" he murmureu as he
opened the kitchen door, for there
was some snow on his paws and he
did not want to scatter it in the
front hall "Ah, me! No adven-
ture did l findl How sadl"
Then, all of a sudden, Mr.. Long
ears heard someone coming in be-
hind him for he had not yet closed
the door.
Who is there?p cried the rabbit,
quickly turning around. If it's
any of the Bad Chaps they had
better get out Of my bungalow right
away before I have Nurse Jane
tickle them with the broom"
Have no fear, Uncle Wiggily, .
grunted a pleasant voice. Look at
me and you will see I am a friend
of yours
So Uncle Wiggily had no fear
and he looked around and he saw
Mr.. Twistytail, the fat pig gentle
man who, indeed, was a good
friend of Mr.. Longears. And the
pig grunted:

having had an adventure. But if
you will come out again with me
you may find one. 1t is early yet
and time for. many an adventure.
Hop along with me"
All right" said Uncle Wiggily,
I'll hop"
AS he was hopping out of the
bungalow with the pig, Uncle Wig
gily happened to look at the kitchen
table and on it was a large cake
all covered with Whiteness. Nurse
Jane had baked the cake q little
while before Uncle Wiggily shaved
and left his bowl of white, soapy
lather on the table. Though Nurse
Jane had baked the cake, it was
Jingle and Jangle, the rabbit twins,
who had put on the white stuff
"Ugl Ugl" grunted Mr.. TWisty-
tail as he saw Uncle Wiggily look
ing at the cake. Were in good

What do you mean?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.
why, went on MI. lWlSJyCall,
here is a fine cake with icing be-
tween the layers and also on top.
We will take it adventuring with
us and when we get hungry we will
eat it. I'll carry it," and he picked
up the cake and tucked it into his
big coat pocket.
"Oh, but sayl Look here! You
know! My wordl" cried Uncle Wig
gily. I'VE can't take that cake!"
why not?" asked the pig.
Because it isn't mine" Uncle
Wiggily said. Nurse Jane baked

CURFEW SHALL RING TONIGHT

DESIDENTS of small towns, quite ac-
II customed to hearing their balllwlcks
referred to as "hick villages by the big
towners, often are able to enjoy laugh,
either quiet or otherwise, when they see,
as they quite often do, the same 'hlek
signs in an exaggerated form, sticking
out from the big city.
There is Los Angeles for instance.
big city, a regular city, up to the minute
in every way and destined to be the big
gest city in the country some day. All
this if YOU listen to the Angelano talking.
Los Angeles is wonderful city, with a
wonderful future, but how the big
league" cities would laugh at Los An
geles if they knew it has o'clock cur
few law, with "go to bed signal be-
ing sounded on whistle, just like any
little chick village"
When curfew sounds, juveniles are
supposed to get off the streets and go
to bed If one wants to get good, big,
hearty laugh, all he has to do is to i'm
agine the precocious juveniles of Los An
geles skipping off to bed at 8 o'clock for
an old whistle or for anything else If
they don't want to do it.
A movement to abolish the curfew,
which was established years ago when
Los Angeles was just spot on the map,
was voted down in the city council this
week. The city fathers may be some
what lax in giving adequate police pro-
lection to the village, but by gum they
are going to have the outward sign of
goodness in a curfew whistle.
Eventually Los Angeles may work
away from the curfew. There is some
hope seen for it in another action taken
at the same session of the city council.
1t voted to bar ballyhoo vehicles equip
ped with loud speakers for advertising
purposes, from charging up and down
Hollywood boulevard. Evidently this
ancient custom disturbed the late sleep
of some of the movie stars.
In other sections of the town however,
this form of advertising appears to be
the accepted thing, and if permitting it
isn't a splendid example of being ''hick

WORTH WHILE CHAMPIONS
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

A bit of news which was given publicity
n in practically every newspaper in
the country yesterday, and which We con-
slider to be far more important than any
account of a sensational murder, po-
litical wrangles or the doings of Holly
wood, is the selection of the healthiest
boy and girl in connection with the in
ternational livestock exposition at Chi
cago.
Lest some of our readers smile at the
construction of that last line we hasten
to explain that the boys and girls were
not judged in connection with the live
stock. They had their own particular
niche in the exposition under the juris-
diction of the All clubs.
Gertrude Heikes, 10 year old Nebras-
ka girl, scored 99.9 per cent in the COM
petitive contest for girls and was de-
clared the healthiest girl. Top honors
for the boys went to William Saunders,
Is, of Indiana, who scored 99.1 per cent.
There is nothing so terribly important
about the selection of these particular
two young people, but it is the movement
they represent that is important The
contest for the healthiest boy and girl is
open to all members of the All clubs,
which means that close to 100000 boys
and girls on American farms are engaged
in a perpetual contest to improve their
health.
Right here in Imperial county, boys
and girls are participating in the contest,
and their work is not confined to health
improvement, but extends to other fields,
including mental, moral and industrial
Improvement.
Not all of the 100000 members can be
adjudged the healthiest boy or the health
lest girl, but if every one of the million
can be shown to have Improved in health
since becoming All members, this partic-
ular feature of the club work alone would
make it of inestimable value to the ma
ton.
When one thinks of the millions of un-
dernourished children there are in the
country, the need for increasing the men,
bership of the All and clubs engaged in
similar activities is apparent to all.
