Sound Used in Fishing.

Fishermen Of India are using sound
in catching fish, according to recent re-
ports. Natives in Assam crouch on the
banks of shallow lakes and whistle a
shrill note. A certain kind of mountain
fish Is attracted and leaps into the
hands Of the whistler. In places where
fish seek the shadow Of rocks along the
banks Of streams, the hillman strikes
the rock a heavy blow with his steel

Wolf would know Uncle Wiggily's
voice but the rabbit sounded strange
inside the well so the Wolf didn't
suspect anything.
All of a sudden, with the help Of
the Wolf, Mr.. Twistytail pulled Un-

gave a big jump and hop and

CAR IN CANAL
IS MYSTERY TO
SHERIFF'S MEN

An automobile upsloe down in
the Brawley Main canal one mile
south of the McCabe school, indi-
cations of an accident, and the
story of Hindu who saw two Mex
leans running from the car after it
catapulted into the canal, puzzled
deputy sheriffs today.
The automobile apparently had
been driven from bridge across
the canal into the water. Alonzo
Poole of the road district yesterday
afternoon removed the car from the
canal Officers are making an eff
fort to locate its legal owner on
the chance it is a stolen car.
Marks on the bank of the canal
show, said officers, that one of the
Mexicans riding in the car was
thrown from it when it shot across
the canal and struck the farther
bank. He was thrown on the bank.
The other Mexican apparently was
thrown out as the car settled back
and started to turn over. He
climbed out of the canal several
yards down stream.
The Hindu told officers he saw
the two Mexicans riding In the car,
and after the accident saw them
running toward Heber. This was

crease will merely open up wider
truck opposition, highly dangerous
TO the prosperity of rail lines and
materially reducing their revenue.
ANY increase in rates, Hays suggest
ed, would materially increase the
number of wild cat truck oper-
atOrS.
Due TO the great volume of pro-
ducts which Imperial Valley large
y depends for its revenue and
which must be marketed particu-
larly in the east. any rate increases
would be a serious matter. Two
thirds of Imperial Valleys revenue
comes from perishable shipments
moving to eastern markets, such as
lettuce. cantaloupes, melons, peas
and other similar commodities.
With the present reduced buying
power sales have diminished on
these commodities and, according
to Hays, would be further curtailed
if rail rates, and consequently
prices, were increased.

help pull the rabbit gentleman up,

Oh, the Wolf was very fond Of Un-

But though the pig gentleman

CALVIN AND WILLIAM

Whatever possible chance there NAV be
for Mr. Coolidge as a presidential candi-
date, either in 1882 or 1886, is not going to
be strengthened any by the knowledge
that one of his ablest supporters is Viii
liam Randolph Hearst.
The American publisher chose London
as the place to launch a boom for Mr.
Coolidge as candidate against Mr.
Hoover next year.
Nobody knows whether or not Mr.. Cool
idge will ever again be candidate. Per-
haps Mr. Coolidge himself does not know.
1t is not likely that he has impaired any
of his desires ON the matter to Hearst.
even though the former President was
guest of the publisher on the occasion of
the Coolidge visit to the coast last year.
It Mr.. Coolidge does possess any in
tention of seeking the Presidency again,
he certainly is wise enough politician to
know that he can never make it with VIII
liam Randolph perched on his shoulders.
That is load that no man could carry
and win.
For man who has berated the British
Empire as much as he has, ii is rather
ironical for Hearst to seek its capital as
a place to spout his political ideas Of
course he chose it because he was lam
basting France in his article, and for
reasons we'll known Mr.. Hearst has no
liking for France
And somehow he has been so unstable
in his political activities, switching first
to one side and then to the other, that the
American people long since ceased to
take his political rawlings with any degree
of seriousness.
1t is singular indeed to see Mr.. Coolidge
tied up with him, but we cannot help but
believe that the tying is bold bit of eff
frontery on the part of Hearst and that
Calvin would we'll like to be rid of him.

word of commentator is due the
Christmas Seal Sale committee which
will open a vacation camp at Hipass on
July 4.
Through the cooperation of several
other organizations who are also deserv-
ing of commentator, the camp will be
made available for large group of child
rem who will enjoy the invigorating and
healthful mountain atmosphere during
the next two months.
Some of the children. whose parents
are able to stand the expense, will be
charged for the stay at the camp. A
large number, however, will be able to
enjoy camp life through the generosity
of the service clubs, veterans Organiza-
tions and individuals interested in giving
the youngsters a helping hand.
Much of the funds for conducting the
camp come from the sale of Christmas
seals. All of US are familiar with these
seals which have become as much part
of the Christmas holidays as Santa Claus
himself.
Incidentally, those who may wish to
help the camp fund can do so by pur-
chasing from members of the Forty
and Eight, or its auxiliary, tickets for
the show at the local theatre tonight and
tomorrow night. Tickets purchased at
the theatre do not help the camp any but
the outside sale of tickets has no more
ardent supporter than the theatre man.

sible to assist the cause.
There is spirit of cooperation about
this Hipass camp that is splendid for
Imperial Valley and it is pity that it
cannot be developed in all our undertak-
ings. There is no sectionalism or jeal-
ousy displayed, all concerned working
shoulder to shoulder for common good.

of the Christmas spirit coming at this
time of the year. We can use more of it
every day.
