Memorial day is one of the few
 spring holidays when we can enjoy
 the oIlt-of-doors. and 1t Is fine time
 to launch the seasons picnics.
 Have your basket all packed and
 everything in readiness, so that ln1-
 mediately after the Memorial Day
 parade when you pay tribute 70 the
 Feterans of the Civil war and heroes
 Of our later wars, you can jump into tie car and whisk of to the country,
 lake or mountains.
 one of the joys of picnic is that every member of the household can ' bt included. Even baby can go on 4 picnic without break In his day Of routine. The older children can i play in the open spaces unhampered E by the thoughts of trafilc. Among the tall pines or alongside the trout Inhabited stream father forsets the connplexities of the wage-earner ana mother is relieved of all hum-drum Household cares. Of course, the best part of any tspicnic Is the lunch basket crammed , IS bursting with good things to eat. zFor some mysterious reason appe- skites multiply and food develops an f4ntriguing flavor when meal IS spread on soft grass carpeted knoll { under blue skies.
 The lunch can be simple yet con- tain all the nourishing food that { mother would plan if she were serv-. < ing the meal at home. Hot escai- 5 lcped potatoes can be easily trans. 4ported, if they are carried in the same container in which they were baked and wrapepd in several folds 5o2 newspaper. If you want to build " fire, cocoa is easily made for the f1 ftrIr al small box of cocoa and tall can of evaporated milk, then there will 7 be no worrying about the milk sour-- 5 ing on the way. Fruit and nut kd11ed sandwiches, or sandwiches
 made at the picnic of ripe tomatoes and lettuce are always popular. The baby's meal need not be a matter < of serious concern because a form lila made with .evaporated milk as- lures safety and nourishment ana this form of milk, which is so fre- 6uently suggested by doctors for all babies, no matter where they are when feeding time comes, can pc, easily carried along.

Uncle Wiggily hoped out into the
snow and then he saw how deep it
was, for it came nearly up to his
ears. He floundered and waded
along until he reached the first hat
on top of the snow. But when the
rabbit gentleman tried to pick up
the hat, voice under it called out:
who is up there? Who is taking
my hat!"
MY gracious!" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily rs there anybody under

"Of course there is" said the voice

But where are you?" asked Uncle

CUPID,S DIFFICULTIES

1t is rather interesting, if not surpris-
ing, to learn that divorces granted in I'M
perial county exceeded the marriages
during 1880 by score of 161 to 144.
There is every reason to believe that
the marriages actually outnumbered the
divorces, because numerous Imperial Val
lev marriages are performed in Yuma,
owing to California's three day law per-
tanning to marriage licenses.
These Yuma marriages of course can
not be credited to Imperial county, which
is left to present the more or less unde-
sirable evidence to the world that Dan
Cupid is in bad in this community and
John j. Divorce sits in the saddle.
The divorce record is made to look
even worse because total of 1873 divorce
actions were filed, but q were not
granted.
We understand bill is to be presented
to the legislature, authorizing the in
crease in the marriage license fee from
So to 81, such measure having the
backing of the county clerks of the state.
They assert that the three day plan
has made SO much additional work for
their offices that it is worth $4 now to
cover the expense of the office work.
While most men intending to get mar
ried would just as soon pay S4 as So for
a marriage license (though they may
afterwards think it was bad deaD in
these times doubling the cost of anything
is rather dangerous. 1t has tendency
to diminish rather than increase sales.
California seems determined to make
it just as difficult as possible to get mar
ried. On the other hand divorce seems
to be easier than ever to obtain and pend
ing legislation would make it even easier
if it is approved by the lawmakers.
Something should be done about it, but
what? We are making our own laws and
and if we are not showing good sense in
them we have none to blame but our
selves.
