Issued Daily, Except
Sundays. Entered at the
Post Office, FL Centre,
Calf, as Second-Class
Matter.

this week is keenly alert to the need for
improving the condition of Indians.
Too long has the old slogan, THE
only good Indian is dead one," persist
ed in the minds of the people of the
west. We have been too apt to recall
only the ferocity and cruelty of the In
dian in warfare, overlooking our own
shortcomings in the same respect.
1t is as consistent to ask present gen.
erations of Americans to hate Confeder-
ates or the descendants of ConfederateS
as it is to ask them to hate the Indian
and his descendants.
The bitterness that persisted between
the north and the south 90 years ago,
was their bitterness. 1t should not be
ours.
By the same reasoning the hatred of
the Indian is relic of the past and has
no place in the minds and hearts of the
American people of this day and age.
If the Indians condition today is not
all that we would like to have it, the
fault rests primarily with Us and not
with the Indian. We have driven him
from his home and his lands, placed him
on reservations, made him the prey of
unscrupulous people who have enriched
themselves through his ignorance and
credulity and we have tried to turn him
to the ways of the white man in me-
chanical fashion without giving him the
moral encouragement and assistance
that such a change requires.
Investigating commissions usually do
plenty of investigation and recommend
ing, but seldom see that these are car
ried out However, the sentiment of the
subcommittee as expressed by Senator
Frazier of North Dakota, indicates that
he, with Senators Wheeler and Thomas
will not stop at recommending, but will
see that the committees suggestions are
carried out.
All three senators were frank in stat
ing that they found many deplorable
conditions existing among the Indians,
and they pleaded, in public talks here,
for a sympathetic understanding on the
part of whites toward the Indians. With
out such an attitude on the part of the
whites nothing the government may do
to aid the Indian, will be an aid in real
ity His greatest aid can only come from
the good will and cooperation of his
erstwhile enemies, with whom the Indian
wishes to be at peace.

Bedtime Stories
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright, 1928. by Mcclure

UNCLE WIGGILY AND BABY'S
BLANKET

They were talking about babies
Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Twistytail
the pig gentleman-one day when
they had met in the woods while the
rabbit was looking for an adventure.
Speaking of babies grunted the
fat pig, when our Squeakie Squeal-
er was little pig she had a funny
trick of never going to sleep until
she could take hold of piece of
soft, wizzie fizzy blanket in one paw,
Then she would put part of her
other paw in her mouth and humble
something like 'nuInmie mummie.
and presto, She would go to sleep at
once
"Ha! That was a cute little trick
for Squeakie Squealer to play with
her go to sleep blanket" said Uncle
Wiggily with laugh. THAT reminds
me that when Baby Bunty. the or
phan rabbit, was little she did the
same thing. She wouldn't go to
sleep until she could hold piece Of
fizzie wizzie blanket, soft and woody
in her left paw. She would put her
right paw in her mouth. though it
isn't a very nice habit, and off to
sleep she would CO."
Just like Squeakie Squealerl"

MR. LOWMAN SPEAKS

It is quite likely that there has been
some misinterpretation of the remarks
credited TO Seymour Lowman, assistant
secretary of the treasury, stating that he
intends to institute "a hour opening at
all border points from Matamoras to
San Ysidro.'
The assistant secretary has been quoted
as saying that increased automobile traf-
fic between Mexico and the United States
made such step necessary.
Any plan by the assistant secretary or
anyone else to increase the hours at
which border points in California are
open, is certain to be vigorously opposed.
With open gambling in Mexicali, I'M
perial Valley does not want longer
hours in vogue 1t much prefers short
er ones than those that now exist to
lengthenng them. In fact there are
some who favor return to war days
when it was necessary to show pass
port in order to cross into Mexico.
The economic drain on Imperial Val
ley, caused by open gambling in Mexi-
t.ali, is a startling one and statistics
prove that the major portion of crime
and marital troubles with which lmper-
al county has to deal, have their origin
n Mexicali.
Mr.. Lowman may have the authority
% open the line for "a hours day, but
mis- authority is going to be seriously
challenged if he persists in enforcing it.
HE is not so big that he can impose his
Ivill contrary to the wishes of thousands
bf American citizens who are much more
Ivitally interested in border conditions
Than he is.
Instead of talking about wide open
line, Mr. Low1nan would be serving his
Country much better by working with
Mexican and American citizens in border
Communities who are trying to eradi
i,ate existing evils. Not until this has
Ioeen done is it time to talk about a "a
|lour opening.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-04-17

Still I don't mind it. said Uncle
Wiggily.
Nor IT, grunted the fat pig gen.
tleman with jolly laugh. Il love
babies
80 do Il! said Mr.. Longears. 1T
may be wrong for Baby Bunty to
want her 'bankie' when she goes to
sleep, but what is the harm?"
That's what 1 say-where is the
ilarm?" asked the pig. We'll, I'm
glad TO have met you to talk about
our babies blankets"
THE same to you and more Of
them" wished Uncle Wiggily.
Then he hoped one way and Mr.
Twistytail Waddled the other way
and when Uncle Wiggily had hop
ped the other way for some distance
he came to the eight and nine cent
store. In one window were some
nice, new, soft, fizzie wizzie, woolly
blankets.
IN get Baby Bunty new blanket
to go to sleep with" said Mr.. Long
ears as he entered the store. That
one of hers that she murmurS,
! nummie mummie' about is worn
out"
AS Uncle Wiggily hopped into the
, store. the Fuzzy Fox who had heard
Mr.. Longears and Mr. Twistytail
/ talking in the woods, skunk along the
path, cunning look ON his face.
Now 1 know how l can catch
Uncle Wiggily," whispered the Fuzzy
Fox. II heard him say that each
night, in the dark, he goes up stairs
/ TO BABY Bunty's bed and reaches
her the 'bankie' she tosses out She
must have hold of it or she can't
90 to sleep. Very well, will slink
in and hide under Baby Bunty''
bed.
when Uncle Wiggily comes up in
The dark 10 get Bnnty's blanket fol
her, III just grab that rabbit. II
will be q good trick"
Uncie Wiggily took Baby BuntJ
the new blanket he had bought ano
the little rabbit orphan liked it very
much.
THANK you, Unkie Wig!" she
said. "Pll go to sleep fine tonight
Baby Bunty took her new blanket
up to her bed. Pretty soon Nurse

Officer Changes
To Mule Skinner

Policemen, like messenger boys,
have a long list of queer duties, put
Arch Bratton of the Ell Centre po-
lice force found q new one last night
when he herded a drove of carefree
mules along Imperial avenue until
they we're outside the northern city
limits.
Bratton and the police car, on
natrol duty, arrived on Imperial
avenue lust as the mules were en-
gagged in parading merrily along the
street after having apparently
broken away from pen or hitching
rack.
Patiently Bratton herded the eight
or 10 mules along the avenue, lmo-
ing the patrol car not as suitable
TO the business as a horse would
have been. Outside the city limits
he suddenly cut loose with f,lsl-
lade of shots in an attempt to stam-
pede the mules from the highway.
Perhaps one or two batteo an eye
lid. Certainly they never missed
step in their gay progress to wher-
ever it was they we're going.

grunted Mr.. Twistytail. And do you
know" he went on in a low voice to
Uncle Wiggily my little pig still
wants her blanket when she goes
TO bed
$50 does Baby Bunty!" whispered
Uncle Wiggily. 1T is very queer, but
even now, old as she is, if Baby
Bunty loses her bankie, as she calls
It, out of her bed before she goes to
sleep, she makes such a fuss that I
have to hop up stairs, hunt around
on the floor in the dark until have
found baby's blanket and give it to
her. Then she is contentedl"
Just like Squeakie Squealer!"
chuckled Mr.. Twistytail MANY a
night I have heard her crying for
her 'bankie, as she, also, calls it.

had done when she was very little.
I'm get her blanket for her.
kindly offered Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, she'll go to sleep without 1t,
said Nurse Jane. But Bunty did not.
She kept calling for her 'bankie,'
until Mr.. Longears at last went up
to her room. The light was burn
ing low.
"Ill get your 'bankie,' Baby Bum
tv." said the rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, thank you. Unkie Wig. but l
have 1t myself now,' said Bunty. 1T
was under my bed. l just reached
down and I felt it--I felt my nice,
fuzzy. wuzzy blanket" With that
Bunty gave big pull to get what
she thought was her blanket from
the floor beneath her bed. But there
was a loud howl and yowl and the
Fuzzie Fox jumped out of the win
dow.
I'm no blanketl'' howled the Fox.
You got hold of my tail. that's what
YOU did. Baby Bunty! Wow. how
YOU pulled" Then Uncle Wiggily
turned up the light and saw Bunty's
blanket away over in corner where
IL had fallen. The Fox had hidden
under Buntys bed and, in reaching
for her blanket, she had pulled his
tail.
But it's a good thing you did,
said Mr.. Longears. You saved me!
Then Baby Bunty took her new
blanket, murmured "nummie mum
mie," and went to sleep. And If the
gum drop will let the Squiggle Bug

carpet. I'll tell you next about IN
Gle Wiggily's queer race.

when he Is older. VIII you give
me some of your sky-stones?"
IF you will stop the storm that
is flooding the Great Valley you
can have all you wish"
'Pn stop the Storm" said Ma
quill. "Good-by."
Na-quil dipped his wings In the
waters and then shook of his
feathers and the water dried up.
Na-quil had dried up most of the
waters when he came to q water
fall high up In the mountain.
This was the very place where
the storm ball had struck and 1t
had knocked down a little tree.
The tree lay across the stream and
the rocks held 1t so 1t could not
get away.
It was brave little tree and
though the river pounded it and
threw rocks and branches at it and
bent 1t, the little tree would not
break. Every time it was bent it
sprang back straight.
Its bark was cut and its
branches broken. but it sang a song
to the angry river.
''This tiny tree fights better than
any large one I ever saw" said
Na-quil. "Even though it Is torn
from its roots and is soon to die, 1t
sings"
Through the cut bark Na-quil
could see the white heart Of the
tree.
"What a strong heart" he said.
at will be better gift for my son
than many blue beads. I shall
give 1t to him."
So Na-quil stopped the river and
picked up the little tree. He flew
to the mountain where he had left
his wife and his little brown son.
He hurried into the house. The
baby winked and blinked at Ma
quill, and once when the baby's eyes
winked shut, Na-quil caused the
strong heart Of the tree to enter
and live In his son.
When other people heard of
this, they named the boy Strong
Heart.
