Federal Prisoners
Taken To Coast

Deputy United States Marshal
Frank Reading and two guards
were considerably saddened yester-
day morning to see an old custom
interrupted for the first time this
year.
The cause Of the great sadness
was the fact that out of nine prs-

pear before federal court this NOM
ing only one was a Chinese, while
other trips to San Diego have seen
not less than half the prisoners fly
ing Oriental colors.
With Reading as guards yester
day were Tom Greer and Bert
Beaver.
Prisoners were George M. Cody,
charged with violation of the Mann
act; Harry Schaiman, arrested on
bench warrant for failure to ap-
pear before federal court; Pedro
Morales, held as a material witness;
T. Shimoo, Japanese; j. Villagomez,

nese escorted to San Diego was

Baby Bunty watched Uncle Wig
gily finish the SeeSaw and then ran
to tell all the other animal children.
They came hopping to look at the
new toy and they were glad. Uncle
Wiggily had made slippery slide
for them to play on and he had
made some flying rings and on both
of these toys there had been some
wonderful adventures.
Il wonder what adventure will
happen now that I have made the
seesaw for the children?" said Un-
Gle Wiggily to himself as he told
the little bunny boys and girls to
start playing. Il hope it will be a
funny adventure, but maybe moth
ing will happen
And, for a while, nothing hap
pened. Baby Bunty, with Jingle,
Jangle and some of the other rab-
bits took turns on the seesaW, sway
ing up and down as the board, bal
anced on the fence, moved to and
fro. Then Buster, Custer and Dus-
ter. with some of their brothers,
took turns.
Uncle Wiggily's seesaw was lots
of fun for the children, but after a
while many of them grew tired OF
playing on il and went off to have
a game of lollypop tag Baby Bun
ty, however. stayed at the seesaw
for she liked it the best Of all the
toys
But who will teeter tauter with
me?" said Baby Bunty to herself
for all the other children animals
had run away to play other games
Il can't seesaW all by myself, y
which was very true. If Bunty sat
on one end of the board it rested
on the ground. Some other boy OF
girl animal, or some weight, as
heavy as Bunty, was needed on the
second end of the board to lift hei
UP. This isn't any fun" said Bun
ty as she sat on the board Il want

Jingle was on the other end. May

will come and seesaw with me-" Sc

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SEESAW

Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily
made a seesaw for some OF his little
bunny rabbit children to have fun
on, teeter tautering up and down in
a Jolly way. Uncle Wiggily's seesaw
was made of a long board fastened
TO the top of q fence near his hol-
low stump bungalow.
oh, Unkie Wig, how nice you
are' said Baby Bunty when she
saw the seasaw being made. What
fun wen have on thisl May have
a turn if you please.
Yes, Bunty," answered Uncle
Wiggily, and he pasted some soft
moss on each end of the board for
cushions and set box on each side
of the fence, near the ends OF the
teetering board, SO when one end
was up high the little bunnies could
climb up on the box and then sit
astride the seesaw. For you ride a
seesaw as you ride a horse on the
merry go round, you know.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-07-27

Floppy, the two fat piggie boys,
coming to sit on the other end of
the teeter tauter to lift her up.
Curly and Floppy made rush
for the vacant end Of the board and
both sat on it at the same time.
You can guess what happened. The
little pigs were SO heavy and fat
that they raised Baby Bunty and
her end of the seesaw up very
quickly and as far as it would go.
Curly and Floppy had pulled down
their end of the seesaw and Baby
Bunty had gone up.
Now it was the two little pig boys
instead of Baby Bunty who were
down on the ground. The seesaw
didn't move, it didn't teeter or tau
ter one bit and was no more fun
for Bunty than at first. The only
difference was that before Bunty
had been down and now she was
up.
"Oh, Floppy, one of you get off
the end Of the board" begged Bun
ty. "The two of you are SO heavy
that 1 can't weigh you down. One
of you get off, please"
you get off, Floppy,' said Curly.
mo, Curly, you get off" said
Floppy.
Well, neither of the fat little pig
boys would get off and they might
have been talking about 1t to this
day, giving Bunty no fun at all ex-
cept for what happened. All of a
sudden out of the woods came hop
ping Uncle Wiggily. 1 guess ]
fooled you that time. Did you
think l was going to say the Bob
Cat popped out? Well, it was Uncle
Wiggily, and when he saw Curly
and Floppy holding Baby Bunty up
in the air on the seesaW the jolly
old gentleman rabbit gave a jump
landed himself on the same end OF
the board where Bunty sat high in
the air. And Uncle Wiggily anc
Bunty together were just as heavy
as Floppy and Curly. So the see
saw board began to teeter tauter ur
and down and Bunty had a fine
ride and so did the pigs and Mr.
Longears. Curly and Floppy sale
they were sorry they had teasec
Bunty by keeping her up in tn,
air so long. But it all came out
right in the end. And if the polio,
dog will please stop taking the
stamps off the letters to stick ovel

STATE FAIR TO
BE BETTER THAN
EVER in HISTORY

w. II. Brooks of FL Centro. n
member of the board of directors
of the California state fair, has a
prominent part in the plans TO make
the 1891 fair the greatest in the his
tory of the state.
Brooks is a member of the live
stock committee. one of the most
important governing bodies OF the
fair
The state fair will be held in Sac
ramento September to II.
Backed by the personal interest in
the great exposition taken by Cali
fornia's colorful governor, James
Rolph, Jr.. and the states financial
head, ROLAND A. Vandegrift, the
board OF directors is planning this
years fair on a more comprehensive
scope and with u view OF handling
larger crowds.
Following out the policy of add
ing facilities to the fair grounds
from year TO year. a quarter of a
million dollars has been invested in
two new buildings. one to house
/ poultry exhibits and one to house
sheep and swine. The former is on
the site of the old poultry building
near the main entrance and the lat
ter adjoints the new livestock barn
built last year at the southeast cor
ner of the grounds.
Exhibitors will be competing for
SIPS 900 in premiums, prizes and
purses, according to announcement
made by the fair directors. The
rules have been changed so as to
prevent introduction of Bangs dis
ease among livestock exhibits An
other change provides that only
commercial fruit can compete for
sweepstakes prizes. while a third
modification opens greater oppor-
tunities to the small exhibitor of
livestock
Horse racing, which will again
provide thrills for the afternoon
throngs, will feature many new en-
tries for the fair, some OF the fin

DON'T BE TOO COCKY
W. C. COSTELLO
Manager

WHILE plenty of self-confidence is a
w desirable part of ones characteristics,
1t doesn't pay to be too confident, or to
close ones ears to good advice offered
by those who know.
As a result of too much confidence IN
her ability to take care of herself, and
an utter disregard for the warnings of
those who knew what they were saying, a
young woman, brilliant student from an
eastern college, was slain last week by
Apache Indians in Arizona and furnish
ed the west with one of It's most shock
ing crimes in several years.
1t is easy to criticize Henrietta
Schmerler, now that she has become the
victim of terrible tragedy, but it is per-
haps necessary to do SO in order that her
fate may be used as warning which may
save others.
Old and experienced men and women
warned her against too close an assocla-
tion with the Apaches They were men
and women who knew the Indians from
the early days Their advice should have
been taken as seriously by Miss Sehmer-
Ter as she would want the AriZonans to
take her advice had the positions been
reversed and they were in her home city
ot New York
These men and women know that while
the Indians will tolerate the presence OF
white persons up to certain point, there
is danger in going beyond that point.
There is always danger when young
white woman is foolish enough to go
alone into the great open spaces with
plenty of young Indians having knowi-
edge of her presence.
1t is well to hearken to words of warn
ing given by those who know lhls ap-
plies not only to young women gong out
among Indians but to all of US. City
folks will go into out-of-the-way places
for vacations and often choose to ignore
the counsel and advice of those who warn
them of rip tides, dangerous mountain
trails, danger of storms and other poSsl-
bilities of disaster.
When out of ones natural element II
is rank foolishness to assume that one
knows it all and that the words OF those
who do know are to be disregarded

NOT ONLY THE HEAT

IMPERIAL VALLEYS total of deaths
L from the excessive heat is much higher
than in former years, but there is no dis
putting that the last few days of last
week were unusually hot and humid.
1t is quite likely that reports of these
deaths going to other parts of the coun-
try will be misconstrued and of course
magnfied.
How many of them can justly be
blamed upon the heat and how many are
more the result of individual foolishness
is matter than can furnish material for
a lengthy argument.
Contributing causes mentioned by the
coroner in reporting the deaths include
over indulgence in liquor (and bad IL
quor at that) eating heavy foods which
are hard to digest at this period of the
year; lengthy exposure without protec
tion in the sun and weakened physical
systems.
Of the first named contributing cause
there have been several cases. 1t is utter
foolishness to fill ones system with alco-
hol in temperatures such as we have
been having, even if one cannot agree
that it is foolish to do SO at any time
When the alcohol is in liquor made i'll
bath tubs, and the most hideous kind OF
stills, and under the most unsanitary con-
dtions, the risk is greatly increased.
1t is essential that in such heated pc
riods one must give attention to proper
food and drink and avoid all risks that
are likely to increase the burden which
the heat places on the human system.
The individual who packs himself full
of salt pork or some similar heavy dish,
accompanied by copious draughts of bad
or good LIQUOR. or even ice water, and then
exposes himself to tremendous heat, per-
haps accompanied by manual labor,
should not be surprised to wake up and
find himself dead, as the Celt puts it.

prising the casualty list is not greater.
