Girls Will Refrain
From Pulling Hair

Chicago, Dec. "a. - @- The
Taylor Trunk Girls OF Chicago
can't pull the braided locks of the
House Of David boys any more
and get away with 1t.
Before the long braided, be-
whiskered boys from Benton Har-
Dor. Mich, renewed their basket
ball wars with the girls this
season, they complained that the
girls had been getting too much
of a kick out Of yanking their hair.
So the leaders of the two teams
got together and decided hair
pulling would constitute a foul
hereafter.
The two teams meet again Fri
day night.

to be friendly gesture" for Robinson
in the hope of defeating Greer, thereby
hoping to lull south-end voters into in
activity, and it nearly succeeded, as the
finals show.
F. W. Greer, also from Brawley, ran
a poor third. Trounced on February 4
when he was candidate for director of
the Imperial Irrigation District from
the Brawley division, he took another
trimming yesterday. Over confidence
apparently got the better of him. His
advertisement in Wednesdays Brawley
News claimed Holtville, Calipatria, Nj
land and Imperial would overwhelm-
ingly support him, and that he would
possibly carry Ell Centro. He was right
about Calipatria and Niland and wrong
about all the rest. As political candi-
date Greer appears to be good publici-
ty man.
Robinson goes to Sacramento with a
keen understanding of Imperial Valleys
problems and fully competent in the
opinion of his friends, to aid in solving
them. He goes as the representative of
no group or clique, and will represent
all of Imperial county with equal fair
ness to the various sections. We extend
our congratulations to him and know
the faith placed in him is not misdirect-
ed
The Press cannot help but be pleased
with the result of the election This
publication, with six other valley news
papers, accorded him its support and We
feel his selection is proof of the faith
which the people of Imperial Valley
have in their newspapers, all of whom
seek at all times to merit such confidence.

"Sit up and have plate of hot

howled the funny Bob Cat with his
silly little tail no bigger than your

soup was in front of the Bob Cat
Uncle Wiggily reached beneath the

on the Bob Cats legs and is sur

he didn't hurt Uncle Wiggily at all,
just because the rabbit could make
a plate dance. And now, if the

ROBINSON WINS

BY the narrow margin of 6l votes, Sam
Robinson was chosen to succeed the late
Assemblyman NJ. d. Witter, in the spe-
cial election held yesterday.
The Press feels certain Imperial Val
ley has made a good choice and that it
will not regret its action. Mr.. Robinson
has the confidence of all who know him,
his ability is proved by the success he
has made of his own affairs and in val
ley activities and his record in public
and private life is such as to make any
man proud.
Indifference and oyer-confidence in
the south end of the valley, and partic-
ularly in Ell Centre, nearly cost Robin
son the election, in the face of a heavy
vote polled in Brawley. Ell Centro cast
but 600 votes to 767 in Brawley, despite
much larger registration in this city.
Considerable criticism is dire C ed
toward the board of supervisors for the
manner in which the precincts were con-
solidated, the arrangement being such as
to make it extremely difficult for the

inson) to reach the polls. AS an in

Well, never would have believed
it, grunted the pig when he had
been introduced to Ticky, the new
rabbit, who was going to live in the
hollow stump bungalow. Fancy e
lettuce leaf dancing!"
Il think / can make other things
dance the same way" Uncle Wig
gily whispered to Mr.. Twistytail as
Nurse Jane and Mrs. Longears took
Ticky up TO the bath room to wash
her face and paws.
What do you .mean?" whispered
the pig.
I'll show you after a while went
on Mr.. Longears. You stay to lunch
with us, Twisty. I invite you now.
After lunch III take Ticky to the
Lady Mouse Teacher in the Hollow
Stump School"
All right" agreed the pig. Il
want to see what else you can make
dance besides lettuce leaf
you'll see," promised Uncle Wig
gily.
Soon it was time for lunch. An
extra place was set for the pig, near
Uncle Wiggily. And, all of a sud-
den, when Mrs. Longears was just
going TO eat a piece of carrot short
cake off her plate, the plate began
TO dance up and down.
"Oh, look" cried the rabbit lady.
Now my plate is dancing as the
lettuce leaf did. Please stop max
ing my plate dance, Tickyl"
I'm not doing it," said the little
founding rabbit. Why, l am SO far
away fro myou that I couldn't reach
your plate to jiggle if wanted to-"
This was true, as Ticky sat beside
Nurse Jane at the far end of the
table But the plate of Mrs. Long
ears kept on dancing and she was
SO surprised she didn't know what
to do. Then Uncle Wiggily, with a
laugh, said:

DAVIS ACCUSED
OF MURDER in
PRESSLY DEATH

Murder charges were filed yester-
day afternoon against N. j. Davis.
and q coroner's jury this morning
decided that William Pressly met his
death as a result of knife wounds
inflicted by knife in the hands of
Davis in q Mexicali brawl several
weeks ago.
Pressly died here early this week
in the county hospital, where he had
been since the knitting fray, which,
occurred during an alleged drunken
brawl in a MeXicali cafe. ~
Davis had not been apprehended
this afternoon Officers were
searching for him.
Should Davis come to trial, it is
expected his defense will. be based
on the grounds that the stabbini
took place in Mexico, andsthat there
fore United States courts hope nc
jurisdiction over him. sf
Davis was halted on the night OF
the fight just after crossing the bor-
der into the United States. After
questioning and discussion Officers
released him. At that time Davis
was free on bond pending his trial
before the superior court here on
a charge of grand theft, of which
he was subsequently acquitted.
The jury, in acquitting him. did
so because they believed evidence
was insufficient to convict. Several
jurors afterwards expressed the
opinion that Davis was guilty, but
believed evidence had not shown
this.
