UNCLE WTGGILY AND THE
VOLTS UMBRELLA

As often happens in April, it was
raining in Woodland where Uncle
Wiggily had his hollow stump
bungalow under the shadow of the
Orange Ice Mountains. Only this
day the mountains made no shadows
for the sun was behind the clouds
which were spilling rain all over.
But it was warm, jolly rain
which would soon awaken the May
flowers which always blossom after
April showers, so Uncle Wiggily did
not feel sad when ne saw the fall
ing drops and heard them splashing
on the windows of his bungalow.
The rabbit gentleman was warm,
snug and jolly in his bungalow
house. He was looking out of the
windows at the April shower, max
ing his pink nose twinkle as much
like the sun as he could and he was
saying:

and have an adventure
why do you stay III because OF
the rain?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy

MOVING THE RIGHT WAY

Efforts of the county supervisors tC
assist Imperial Valley dairymen by OBJ
tanning laboratory from the u. s. Pub
lie Health Service and milk inspector
from the state department of agriculture,
are moves in the right direction.
Criticism of Imperial Valleys milk and
cream supply, made last year by San
Diego, was not altogether justified, but
it did bring to light the fact that we have
not been doing everything that dairy
ing community should do, to make its
product the best and purest.
A laboratory operated under the super
vision of the public health service would
permit close check being kept on valley
herds, and working in cooperation with
the dairyman would enable him to I'M
prove his herds and his product.
Supporters of the plan for having
county milk inspector working under the
supervision of the health officer assert
that this would permit shipping valley
cream into the Los Angeles market which
is not open to them at present
1t is essential, if Imperial Valley is to
be recognized as a pure dairying center,
that 1t use every means to have only the
best herds and produce the best milk and
cream. This can only be done by pain
stalking effort under proper supervision
and with the cooperation of all.
Establishing laboratory and appoint
ing a milk Inspector is not enforcing a
hardship on the dairyman. 1t is leading
him in the right direction that ultimate
" means greater profits and greater sue
cess for him.

TORACCO-YES OR NO

Tobacco advertising, principally as
applied to cigarettes, has come into
certain amount of criticism in recent
years for the alleged far-fetched claims
made.
We have been informed that smoking
would help one keep slim, prevent the
increasing poundage that usually comes
with more mature age, that it soothes the
nerves, and that it has few OF the harm
full effects which are drilled into the
minds of youngsters.
MANY of us even as we smoked, have
scoffed at the claims of the cigarette
manufacturers and though we smoked
we were inclined to accept as truth the
warnings administered in youth that
smoking would stunt the growth and en-
courage a weak mind and weak body.

Tor a change.
Just about this time the Fox and
the Wolf were walking together out
in the rain not far from the rabbit
gentleman's bungalow. The Wolf
had his umbrella and he was allow
ing the Fox to walk under it with
him.
You haven't caught Uncle Wig
gily yet, have you?" asked the Wolf.
No replied the Fox, Il haven't,
have you
The Wolf shook his head and
then, all of a sudden, the umbrella
he was carrying to keep off the rain
closed up. came down over their
heads and he and the Fox got all
wet
Say, what's the idea?' howled
the Fox. why did you close your
umbrella like that?'
Il didn't close it," said the Wolf
Yes you did" howled the Fox.
No, I didn't" snarled the Wolf
and the Fox looked angry until the
/ Wolf said: This is an old umbrel-
Ia 1t always snaps down and closes
/ that way when I take it out in the
rain. I guess it's a sort of trick
umbrella. I can put it up again, -
which he did. He and the Fox
walked along under the umbrella
again for little while, but all Of
sudden, pop! down came the
umbrella again and both animals
got wet once more.
Did you do that on purpose?"
howled the Fox.
mol" barked the Wolf Il told
you this was a trick umbrella. I
never know when it's going to close
up on me.'
All of a sudden the Fox laughed.
Whats the joke?" asked the
Wolf.
THE joke is going to be on Uncle
! Wiggily," said the Fox. Listen!
Last night 1 saw Uncle Wiggily lend
his umbrella to Mr.. TWistytail, the
fat pig. The rabbit has no umbrel-
la now to go out in the rain ard
look for adventures or give us a
chance to catch him. Now if you
will lend Uncle Wiggily your UNI
brella it will be good joke on him
and we can soon capture him."
"How?" asked the Wolf, who
wasn't as smart as the Fox.
why" the Fox explained, sup
pose you lend Uncle Wiggily your
trick umbrella that pops shut when
you're carrying it in the rain. This
is what will happen: Uncle Wig
gily will go out in the rain with
your umbrella held over his head
Well hide behind his bungalow and
watch him go out. Wen follow him
and, all of a sudden, when your
trick umbrella shuts down over his
head, we1l jump and grab him and
well have him, see!'
1T sounds like a good trick with
my umbrella" whispered the Wolf
But Uncle Wiggily is too smart
for us. If l go to his bungalow
and say want TO lend him my UNI
brella, he will think it's a trick and
he won't take it"
"Well, don't go right up TO the
bungalow and hand him your UNI

Ways and means of raising funds
to pay premiums on insurance for
Imperial county officers were dis

age the opinion that nicotine is harmful
and gives some degree of endorsement to
the manufacturers advertisements.
Tobacco fed to baby chicks makes
them into bigger and better broilers. The
same nicotine diet given to older fowls,
makes them healthier hens and roosters
(but not wealthier nor wiser).
Discoveries in connection with the ex-
perimentS indicate that it may no longer
be necessary for poult1ymen to keep
chickens penned up for fear they will
pick up some parasitical infection if al
lowed to roam for their forage.
And the deadly nicotine against which
we have been warned for years, is most
essential in making the experiments sue
cessful. Tobacco with l per cent of mic
otine had decidedly harmful effect up
on the poultry. The best results were
used with tobacco containing 5 per cent
and more of nicotine.
This information is taken from the re-
port submitted by the men who conducted
the experiments, DR.. j. E. Hunter and
Dr. D. E. Haley, of the Pennsylvania de-
partment of agricultural and biological
chemistry.
Lest the reader become too eXuberant
if he is tobacco advocate, and too down.
cast if he is an opponent of tobacco, we
must append the final paragraph.
aside from making the chickens i'll at
the start, same as happens to small boys
when they smoke, there are no parallels
between smoking and feeding tobacco to
chickens In smoking, nicotine's stimu-
lation works through the blood and
nerves. In the chickens diet it is only
disinfectant passing through the body,
but not necessarily absorbed into the sys-
tenn
And that puts us right back where we
were before. We can smoke cigarettes
and possibly go to an early grave or we
can eat tobacco and become huskjes. Or
can we?
