We all catch colds and they can make us miserable;
but yours needn't last long if you will do this Take
two three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just
possible after cold starts. Stay in the house you
can-keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two
of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those
symptoms of cold persist. Take good laxative when
you retire, and keep bowels Open If throat is sore
dissolve three tablets in a quartergassfu Of water
and gargle. This soothes Inflammation and reduces
infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for
cold or sore throat And it relieves aches and pains
almost instantly. The genuine tablets, marked Bayer
are absolutely harmless to the heart.

Miss Corinne Jenne, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. c. P.

In an endeavor to stimulate bust

UNCLE WIGGILY'S BIG ADVEN
TURE

We'll, how do you like this,
Twisty?" asked Uncle Wiggily as he
and the jolly fat pig gentleman
were riding along in the auto with
the bologna sausage tires. Oh, no,
excuse me, if you please. Uncle
Wiggily this time had for tires on
his auto, some cute, fat pink. blue,
red and purple snakes who twined
themselves around the wheels in
circles.
You see Uncle Wiggily and the
pig started off on an adventure trip,
but a poor, hungry tramp dog ate
the sausage tires. But to make UP
for this he got the kind snakes who
said they would be Uncle Wiggily' S
auto tires until he found an adven-
ture So Mr.. Longears again asked
his pig friend:
How do you like it riding around
/ this way?''

tytail, but what about the adyen-
lures we were going to havoc
I'VE have had few adventures, "
said the rabbit uncle, but I suppose
few more would DO no harm.
Well keep our eyes open and look
for adventures as we ride along"
That's what we'll do, said the
pig. So the two Of them kept their
eyes open, looking this way and
that way on the side of the road
and then down the middle. For

ATHLETICS for girls is a much dis
n cussed topic, with much being said
pro" and con on the subject
Last night the pro" argument re-
ceived considerable support among Ell
Centrans, when two girls teams mixed
il up in a baseball game
One could not watch the contest with
out recognizing how much better physi-
cally these girls must be, than if their
athletic endeavors were confined to bean
bag or croquet as in days gone by.
True it is their game lacks the zip,
finish and dash of that played by the
men folks, but that must be expected
The girls haven't been at it so long
But anyone who thinks they play
mollycoddle game has another thought
coming. They take a good husky swing
at the ball, and when they meet it, it
goes they are not heSitant about going
after sizzling grounder or getting un-
der high fly, and when they get on the
base paths they travel and have no
Qualms about hitting the dirt for a
slide into the bag. The old, jerky, only
from-the-elbow, style of throwing has
disappeared. The modern girl puts her
whole body back of the throw the same
as man. Some of the throws that were
cut loose last night would do credit to
any man.
Nor are the benefits or improvements
all physical. The girls have learned not
to mind the razzing of the fans, they
take the breaks of the game as they
come, and while they play hard, they
play fair.
Lest the reader may think that it was
the girls alone who interested us, we
might state that the mems game was
equally interesting. Not only from
baseball standpoint but in the cause of
community friendship. Yuma players
were applauded as frequently as the To-
Gals, and while sentiment was naturally
for the latter, there was no rabid root
ing against the visitors.
Such exchange visits between commun-
tiles are splendid means for developing
community spirit. We would like to see
more of them, not only with cities OUT
side the valley but between the various
cities here. Perhaps if we had more of
them there would be less Of misunder-
standing and jealousy. Clean, whole
some competition is bound to develop
friendships The older generation in the
valley hasn't done any too much toward
fostering inter-community friendship
maybe the youngsters can show US the
way.

laughed the big jolly animal that
at first the rabbit and pig had
thought was a rock. I'm here and
I'm going to stay here until I get
ready to go back TO the circus But
where are you two going in that
auto with the snake tires?' asked
the elephant. There used to be
snakes in my circus
These are woodland snakes" said
Uncle Wiggily "Twistytail and I are
riding around looking for big ad-

And at first I thought you were
going to be our big adventure, -
grunted the pig. But you turned out
to be an elephant"

said the big animal, but I wish
could be an adventure for you. How

Just then, all of a sudden, Mr.
TWistytail cried: Fire. Fire!"

the pig. And, surely enough, the
bunny gentleman's car was burn
ing. Then, all of a sudden, the big
elephant rushed to brook of water
and sucked a lot of it up in his
trunk, which was like a hose. The
elephant squirted the water from
his. trunk on the burning auto and
put out the fire in jiffy.
"Oh, thanks lot!' cried Uncle
Wiggily. And the pig said
I'VE had a big adventure after

Longears. And if ice-cream cones

sometimes you find adventures right
in the middle Of the road like a
lost penny looking for its pocket
book.
All of a sudden Mr.. TWstytail,
who had bright eyes, though very
small ones, touched Uncle Wiggily
on the paw and said:
Look What's that right ahead
of us over in that field?"
Uncle Wiggily, who was steering
the auto, looked toward where Mr..
Twistytail pointed and he saw some
thing very big in the field.
What's that?" asked the pig.
do you think it might be the ad-
venture we are looking for?"
"Oh, that isn't an adyenturel"
said Uncle Wiggily, quickly. That
is only big rock in the field
But it can't be big rock, grunt-
ed the pig. II just saw it move and
SILVER and shake. Rocks, no matter
how big they are, can't move"
Not unless somebody throws
them" admitted Mr.. Longears. And
I think if that were a rock il would
be too large to be thrown, except
by giant, and there are no giants
around here"
Il never saw any giants, said the
pig. But maybe this is the big ad-
venture we are looking for Wiggy.
Let's go a bit closer and have a
better look"
"All right agreed Uncle Wiggily.
So ne steered his auto, with the
snake tires, close to the big thing
moving in the field and when the
rabbit and pig were near enough
they saw what it was:

tail.

Chinese Prisoner
Killed In Jail

Accidental death of a Chinese i'm
migration prisoner arrested in I'M
perial Valley and serving a nine
months sentence in the Los An
geles county jail prior to deporta-
ton, was told in a message receiV-
ed by immigration officers and
Frank Reading, deputy United
States marshal, here today.
The Chinese was taken from the
county Jail here to San Diego last
May, and sentenced by the federal
court there to nine months in the
Los Angeles county jail and de-
portation to China. He was Sam
Get, So.
Gets head was almost severed
from his body when he looked from
his cell in the Los Angeles jail just
as the jailer pressed an electric
button to close cell doors, according
TO word received here. The edge
of the cell door caught his neck,
and before the electric current
could be switched off his neck was
almost severed.

GOOD ADVICE

THE bankers may say it is extremely
1 radical but one of the best sugges-
lions we have seen relative to means of
overcoming the national depression is
that offered by the Emigrant Industrial
Savings bank of New York.
This week the bank caused consider
able comment in all parts of the coun-
try when it urged its depositors 10 with
draw as much of their savings as was
prudent. and spend them
Keep a sufficient balance on hand to
take care of emergencies" the bank said,
and use the rest in taking advantage of
the present buying power of the dollar.
which is at least Is per cent greater than
it was in 1928"
Rightly the bank points out that wise
spending is equally as important as wise
saving. Judicious spending, it argues, is
the fundamental needed to start the
wheels of industry turning at their full
quota.
Those who can buy now not only get
the advantage of the bigger dollar but
they also encourage others to spend and
it is the spending that will count.
Wise spending is what the bank
urges. In the flush years after the war
we would spend SD for silk shirt that
would do US few months. That was
not wise spending. Today, for the
same SIP, we can get half a dozen good
shirts that will last US over period of
years That is wise spending.
Nearly every commodity needed by the
American family, has taken heavy
drop so that prices are now in the pre-
war class. The wise ones are those who
buy now, for prices are bound to go up
again, even though it may be many
months distant
If others will follow the lead of the
Emigrant Industrial Savings bank we
will be making a good start toward round
ing that corner" which seems to be so
elusive.
