WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. 1P,- Ernest Walker Sawyer, member of the Pacific Yukon Highway Com mission said today If I were post master general I would establish airmail lines to Alaska via Vancouy- CT, and Dawson from Seattle"
 Sawyer differed from the pro ponents of the plan for an air mail route from the United States to Alaska. Russia and China. via Ottawa, Toronto. Mackenzie and Aklayik. He said that the latter route would be over compa "a tive wilderness, and the course over the territory would be over populous country with fair wealth CT. This line differed with anoth- CT proposed route along the coast line to Juneau. which he said was hampered greatly by fog most of the time.
 There are lakes along the pro posed route of the two thousand mile highway from Seattle to Fair banks whiah could be used for hydroplane landings, and the area over which fiiers would travel has many places suitable for landing. The route thru the Mckenzie sec tion has only been flown once.

BRAINS AT LAST

Somebody with at least thimbleful
OF brains has at last shown up in the
navy department or elsewhere, to put a
quietus on the Butler incident
Just who this party is will remain a
bit of guesswork, and even though anon
unity may hide his identity, it does not
lesson the effectiveness of his good work.
Courtmartial against General Butler
is dropped and he is punished for his re-
marks against Premier Mussolini by a
reprimand. Just why it took the navy
department over two weeks to arrive at
this decision is probably a good answer
to the question, What is wrong with the
navy?"
General Buffers offense, if any, GER
tainly did not appear serious enough to
warrant a courtmartial. The reprimand
could have been given him as soon as his
first letter, explaining the Mussoini in
cldent, was received. The contents of
this letter remain a secret.
The generals letter Of apology for his
remarks, and the reprhhand of the sec
retary of the navy bear the same date,
February 8, which happens to be Sun
day, day not generally devoted to Off
ciel work. Apparently the brain man.
of the navy works on Sunday the same as
any other day.
A courtmartlal Tor the general would
have been only farce, worse than the
farce the navy department has allowed q.
to exist for two weeks. Had the general
been convicted, he never could have re-
ceived any thing more severe than a rep
rlmand. The regulations warrant max
lmum punishment of 15 years in prison
for the offense with which he was
charged and this maximum has been
widely quoted in the DanerS An officer
with a record like his would never be i'm
prisoned for an offense such as charged
against him.
Mussolini is satisfied with the state de-
partment's apology, the secretary of the
navy is equally satisfied with the gener-
ais apology and the general is bound to
be satisfied with the official reprmand
he receives. Now if someone can keep
muzzle on Cornelius Vanderbilt, the en-
tire incident should be forgotten before
the first robin goes north

THE FAIR


Several thousand residents of Imper-
ial Valley have inspected the Imperial
County Fair, and it is safe to say that
few will find fault with it.
The fair is something of which lmper-
iai Valley may we'll be proud and ITS
splendid appearance and management Is
4 credit to the men and women who have
labored to make it so.
The chief value of the fair lies not in
the various exhibits, the amusements and
the other things that go to make up
fair, as much as it does in the lesson that
it teaches Primarily its purpose is to
stimulate interest in better Imperial Val
ley crops herds and industries. BY
showing the best in each at the fair, il Is
hoped to induce all to strive for I'M
provement.
Not even those who have worked the
hardest on the fair would say that they
are fully satisfied But excellent prog
ress has been made since last year and
the greatest proof of this is the perman-
ent exhibits building. The fair needs an
other building like this in which to house
livestock. The fair board realizes it and
should have the support of the citizens
in obtaining the funds necessary to build
it.
Stockmen cannot be expected to ship
their prize herds to the fair unless ade-
Quate provision is made for their pro-
lection from the elements. Another per-
manent building will provide this.
The various exhibits, while appearing
smaller than last year, are of the usual
high standard and one cannot help but
marvel as he sees the products OF this
fertile valley spread out before him.
Imperial County Fair can be built up
IL.
greatest fairs in the state or anywhere
else in the country. The first two years
have proved this. It's advertising value
to Imperial Valley cannot be overesti-
mated, and this valley needs favorable
advertising the same as any business
does.
1t will take the full cooperation of the
entire valley to put the fair over in the
way the fair board hopes eventually to
do Grumbling such as has been heard,
about expense and other things, is en-
tirely out of order. One has to spend
money to make money and for that
matter the fair board is not required to
make money.
This year its achievement has been
deubly impressive because of the deal the
weatherman has handed out Something
certainly should be done about it, but
what? The idea of showing Imperial
Valley at its worst when it should be at
its best. is sufficient provocation to seek
an entirely new source for our weather.

Eyes, the maple sap is running

candy this afternoon -
Sap, or the white juice in trees,
is what brings them to life after
their long winter sleep. OF course
in the warm Southland trees do
not go to sleep in winter so they
have no need to awaken in the
spring. But maple trees are the only
ones that have juice or sap sweet
enough to boil into candy. Why
this is l do not know. And not all
maple trees are sweet enough for
sugar; only sugar naples.
Uncle Wiggily's trees, however,
were of the sugar kind and he soon
had made holes in a number of
them. setting beneath each hole a
pail to catch the sweet sap. 1t does
not harm the trees to take out q
little sap. BY afternoon Uncle
Wiggily had a large kettle of the
white, sweet sap. II was thin, like
water and must be boiled TO make
it thick enough for syrup or sugar

school and out to the grove of
maple trees.
"Oh, mol My goodness, noi'

What fun well havei' shouted
the bunny children.
Uncle Wiggily made a bonfire in
the woods. It melted away the
snow that covered the ground, turn
ing the snow into water with a
Kissing noise. Over the fire Uncle
WiggilY hung big copper pot or

still the obligation of the lady on
