WHAT TO DO?
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

I'VE wish we could get this y year old
w Washington kid out of our mind. but
1t can't be done. They have put him in
prison for life, possibly being stumped
to do anything else with him, but it is
not possible for some of US to forget him
right away.
Hubert Nichols killed man and then
lied about it, trying to place the blame
on an innocent man. He had done other
bad things prior to the killing and seems
to have been a.bad little urchin for some
time, but we don't think the great state
of Washington has used the best judg-
men in placing him in penitentiary for
the remainder of his life.
A youngster of I2 is a difficult prob
lem, even though he may do nothing that
is seriously wrong. Any parent who has
a boy or two around that age could write
volumes on shortcomings of the young
sters. They'll do things they should not
do and lie about it when caught It's
as natural to them as eating or sleep
ing. Their minds are constant whirli-
gigs and at that age often comes the first
definite resentment against authority and
its restraint.
We don't know a great deal about
Hubert Nicholl's background but we'd
risk a dollar to doughnut that he has
never had much of a chance. He GER
tainly is entitled to a better chance than
Washington has given him.
1t is not our intention to criticize
the jury whirh convicted him, the
judge who sentenced him nor the state

thick, green pods that are filled
with brown seeds. To each seed is
fastened a long, fluffy strand of
what looks like silk. This silken
strand helps the seeds to fly
through the air, when the pod
bursts, so the seeds may travel afar
and plant themselves to make more
milkweed.
Gathering as many pods as he
needed, Uncle Wiggily hopped back
to the dolls house. He told her to
stand up in corner and jiggled
herself up and down.
That will shake all the sawduSt
stuffing out of you.' said the rab-
bit. You will then be very limp,
tlipsy and flopsy. But will soon
stuff you again with the milkWeed
silk
So the doll jiggled herself up and
down in the corner. Out ran all
her sawdust through the slit in her
leg. Soon she looked like a rag and
she was far from feeling proud

Uncle Wiggily stuffed it inside the

full and plump as ever again. and
when she had sewed up the cut in

new.
And I am sure, now," she said,

Now I can serve tea to my guests.
Won't you stay to my tea party,
Uncle Wiggily? You have been so
kind"
Yes, III stay" said Mr.. Longears.
So he stayed and had tea with the
proud, stuffed doll and her guests.
And when he told Nurse Jane, she
would hardly believe it.
What made that doll lose her
pride?" asked Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
oh, I can't tell you," said Mr..
Longears. Its a secret" And
though Nurse Jane teased, he never
told and he and the stuffed doll
were friends for many years. Now

handle off the coffee pot to make

LOCAL CITRUS
MEN PLEASED
WITH OFFICERS

Considerable satisfaction is eX-
pressed at the office OF the Desert
Citrus exchange here on account OF
recent appointments in the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers exchange.
T. H. Powell, former lemon sales
manager was made general sales
manager of the Sunkist organiza-
ton. He first became associated
with the exchange in 1900.
Dale r. King. former manager
of the county citrus exchange at
Fullerton, was made assistant gen.
eral manager. Local growers eX-
press satisfaction at this appoint
ment since it places man familiar
with the rural situation in respon-
sible position.
With the appointment Of James
o. Cook as secretary, the Growers
Service department was transferred
TO his department. He replaces G.
S. Milliken, who is well known in
the valley.
Since H. E. Pitt, formerly Of the
Chicago offices, was made assistant
TO Powell, a man familiar with
eastern markets will be brought to
the coast area. He visited Imperial
Valley last winter and is somewhat
familiar with the local situation.
The changes made undoubtedly
will work to the advantage Of grow
er members of the Desert Citrus
exchange" said Bruce Moore, man

have no better solution of this lads case

1t is a certainty that he will not be
