Uncle Wiggily took the coffee ring

he bought a btg one as round and
large as a hoop.
It wasn't easy for Uncle Wiggily
to carry the big coffee cake in his
paws, for it stuck up in front Of his
eyes and he couldn't see where he
was going. Twice, on his way home
10 the bungalow, he bumped into
trees. So at last he said:
"I think if 1 put the coffee cake

he did and then he could see very

The muskrat lady housekeeper

the coffee cake and Uncle Wiggily
jumped into his clothes, for he could

he hears the alarm bell ring.
Except for Nurse Jane and Uncle
Wiggily, no one was up in she hol-

1t did not take Uncle Wiggily long
to reach tbs bakery where they sold
coffee cakes fer the breakfasts OF
rabbit gentlemen with pink, twink

a rabbit gentleman without a pink
twinkling nose the baker cat would
sell him a coffee cake, but she
didn't care to. She liked, much bet

YOUTHS GUIDING LIGHT

THE world conference of the Y NJ. C.
A. finds that the worlds young peo-
people are dissatisfied and restless. con-
scious of standing ON new frontier but
having no notion of what may be ahsad Of
them
In this fact there is both hope and
danger.
Considering the sorry mess that we
adults have made of the world in the last
decade or two, it can't be anything but
encouraging to learn that youth is doubt
ing our wisdom and is preparing to strike
out for itself along new trail.
But locking for a new path isn't the
safest task imaginable. This dissats-
faction of youth since the World War
has led TO innumerabe tragedies 1t has
caused the destruction of many fine
young men and women. 1t has led DO
such dismaying phenomena as the athe-
istic youth movement" of Russia and
the hard-boiled Fascism of restless youg
Italians and Germans.
Naturally enough then, the interna-
tional Y. N. C. A feels that it can tackle
no more important job than the job of
trying to get youth started in the right
direction.
Just how that is to be done is per-
picking. The first thing that youth lost
when the worlds follies disillusioned it
was its old respect for its elders. 1t has
not, for more than decade, been in
mood to take a great deal of advice from
the rest of us.
Yet the job can be done-if only
genius or two will come along to do it.
For youth is as ready now as ever to fol-
low an ideal, if it can find worthy one
Indeed, it is chiefly because the old ideals
that we held up to youth fell into the
mud that young men and women today
are restless and rebelious. They have
an enormous fund of idealism, all enor-
nous reservoir of unselfish faith-and
we are not giving them a chance to use
it.
The confusion OF youth is chiefly our
own fault; and if yeath fails to find an
objective OR which it can lavish it's faith
and hope-tlnt too, will be largely our
fault.

PAINT AND PROSPERITY

RlGHT now, when Imperial Valley
~ along with the greater part of the
of the nation is neck deep and sinking
in the quicksandS of pessimistic words,
the action of Tom Reams, fire chief, and
his departmet in inaugurating Fire Pre-
ventlon campaign, which IS little more
than Cleanup campaign in a winter
suit, is as refreshing as sudden artic
breeze at the equator.
The only danger is that apathetic res
idents will take the campaign as just
another blast on Big Bertha, the fire
department sren-treat it as a good idea
and Immediately abandon it to drop low
ering brows over q situation that would
be considerably better if a number of
people who have no reason to throw
gloom in big gobs stopped doing so.
Fire prevention-as its sponsors see
it-calls for cleaning up old lots, for rak-
ing out the forgotten debris from forgot
ten spots, and generally getting lot of
that old refuse out of the way, and into
the incinerator where it belongs.
1t might be carried farther than that,
and do even more good. While the zeal
of cleaning is upon the householder, he
might take trip down town, buy can
of paint and brush. and swab over the
house which has begun to look shabby
during recent months. And then he
might plant lawn, if he has none now,
and repair the roof where it needs re-
pairs.
Psychology teashes the lesson this
would answer two-feld purpose. Add
ing considerably to the beauty and worth
of the property, it would in proportion
add to the beauty and worth OF that city.
Making Ell Centre more desirable place
to live, it would attract more residents
here.
The second article deals entirely with
psychology. In beautiful surroundings,
with streets and yards neat and well
kept. it becomes more and more hard
to dwell on the depression and its de-
vastating effect, and relatively more easy
to picture future that will send all
present troubles winging back whence
they came.
And until this future comes into the
minds of the people, it has little chance
of becoming a reality.
All this seems mighty lot to ask OF
a rake and paint brush, but they can
do no less than keep the mind Of their
wielder from blacklist pessimism and
that is a good beginning.

asked Joy, amazed.
"No-not now," he assured her.
And then he did an astounding
thing. He gave Joy his card and
wrote a check to pay deposit on
the lot until the proper papers
could be issued. Joy was quite
overcome, and when he had gone
she stood alternately looking down

studying his name on the card she
